The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has launched a high-stakes investigation into California’s controversial welfare program, Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI), with growing concerns that the state is funneling taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants. The probe focuses on whether undocumented individuals have wrongfully received financial assistance under this program, which was originally designed to support elderly, blind, or disabled immigrants who are ineligible for federal Supplemental Security Income.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem issued a stern warning regarding California’s reckless sanctuary policies. “California is putting the interests of illegal immigrants above the needs of the American people,” Noem declared. “This investigation is just the beginning. We will ensure that taxpayer dollars are not misused and that federal benefits are not extended to those who are not legally entitled to them.” Noem’s statement underscores the broader concerns about California’s defiant stance on immigration and the potential abuse of welfare programs meant to assist legal immigrants.
California, which has long been a haven for illegal immigrants, has faced increasing scrutiny over its sanctuary policies. Governor Gavin Newsom and state legislators have worked to expand protections for undocumented immigrants, including access to state-funded welfare benefits.
However, this practice has raised alarms among conservatives, who argue that state resources should be directed toward legal residents and citizens, not those who are in the country illegally. Critics view California’s sanctuary policies as a blatant disregard for federal immigration laws and a misuse of state resources.
The investigation comes after reports surfaced alleging that California’s CAPI program has been used by undocumented individuals, effectively bypassing federal rules meant to limit access to benefits for illegal immigrants. The scope of the DHS inquiry includes examining records from Los Angeles County, where the program has been particularly active. Authorities are looking into whether the county’s Department of Public Social Services has violated federal regulations by allowing ineligible individuals to receive aid.
This probe has sparked strong reactions from both sides of the political spectrum. Conservatives have lauded the investigation as a much-needed step toward enforcing federal immigration laws and ensuring that taxpayer funds are not used to support illegal immigration. “This is another example of California’s blatant disregard for the law,” said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch. “By targeting illegal immigrants who are taking advantage of these welfare programs, the Trump administration is sending a clear message that the rule of law must be respected.”
Cackling Kamala Harris attempted yet another “comeback” this week, and as usual, it backfired. Promoted by the paid liberal media as a political resurgence, her speech only served to remind Americans why her attempt to clinch the White House seat failed.
At a recent press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a brutal but accurate takedown of Harris’ so-called comeback. With a pointed tone, Leavitt said, “I think I speak for everyone at the White House. We encourage Kamala Harris to continue going out and doing speaking engagements.” The sarcasm wasn’t lost on anyone. It was a direct jab at Harris’ endless trail of awkward gaffes and incoherent statements that have become a national joke.
Leavitt didn’t stop there. She continued, “The President and everyone, frankly, was surprised by the Democrats refusing to stand for, not the President’s policies because, frankly, we expected that, but for the everyday Americans who President Trump was shining a light on their stories.” This comment highlighted the administration’s view that Democrats are out of touch with the concerns of ordinary Americans.
The Vice President’s latest public appearance was intended to rebrand her image and reignite enthusiasm within the Democratic base. Instead, it was yet another confusing mess of repetitive buzzwords, disjointed phrases, and hollow rhetoric. Harris rambled through her speech with the same uncomfortable laugh and vacant expressions that have marked her public career. There was no vision. There was no leadership. Just a predictable string of empty platitudes that no one outside the Democrat echo chamber could take seriously.
Leavitt’s reaction was more than justified. Harris has become one of the most ineffective vice presidents in American history. Whether she is failing to address the crisis at the southern border, dodging accountability, or embarrassing the country on the world stage, her performance has consistently fallen short. And the American people know it.
Even the media outlets overseas, which typically avoid criticizing leftist figures, have begun to mock her. Her “word salads” have become legendary, and every attempt at rebranding only highlights her incompetence. Every speech she gives becomes another viral clip for all the wrong reasons.
MUST WATCH: President Trump Destroys ABC Reporter During Interview
President Donald J. Trump didn’t mince words in a high-stakes interview with ABC News host Terry Moran on April 29, 2025, marking the first major broadcast sit-down of his second term. The interview, meant to reflect on the President’s first 100 days back in office, quickly turned into a fiery confrontation with Trump holding the legacy media accountable live on air.
Early into the discussion, Moran questioned the President on his sweeping executive orders targeting illegal immigration and restoring law and order at the border. Trump interrupted, visibly unimpressed with the line of questioning. “I don’t trust you,” the President said directly to Moran, before adding, “You’re with ABC. You’re fake news.”
The interview, which aired on ABC and was covered widely across networks, showcased the President’s no-nonsense approach to hostile media. Trump reminded viewers that Moran and networks like ABC have been part of a long-running propaganda machine pushing anti-Trump narratives. “They’ve been wrong about everything,” Trump said. “Russia hoax, COVID lies, January 6th — all of it.”
When Moran pressed him on his governing style, insinuating that his aggressive use of executive orders amounted to authoritarianism, Trump hit back. “They call it autocratic when I do it. But if Biden does it, it’s just government policy,” Trump said. The crowd at a follow-up town hall reportedly erupted in applause when clips were replayed online.
In a post-interview statement, Trump explained why he agreed to speak with Moran despite the network’s track record. “He’s been fairer than most. I don’t like them, but I don’t hide from them,” Trump said, reiterating his belief that transparency with the American people doesn’t require coddling from journalists.
The President also used the opportunity to underscore the successes of his second term so far. “We’ve lowered taxes, restarted energy production, and put an end to Biden’s open border chaos,” he declared. Moran attempted to redirect the conversation to Trump’s tone, but the President refused to take the bait, insisting, “The media wants me to be soft while they destroy the country. Not going to happen.”
This exchange is already being praised in conservative circles as another example of Trump’s leadership in the face of a dishonest press. Supporters on social media hailed the moment as “vintage Trump,” where he exposes the establishment while speaking directly to the American people.
Even some on the left admitted the moment was powerful. MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said the interaction “highlighted the media’s inability to control Trump” and admitted Moran “got steamrolled on his own show.”
BREAKING: Federal Appeals Court Gives Trump Massive Victory
Tren de Araguagang—despite his last-minute verbal objection.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to halt Boasberg’s outrageous move. Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, appointed by President Trump, overruled the Obama-appointed Boasberg. Only Judge Nina Pillard, a liberal appointee, dissented.
Boasberg, who had failed to issue a written injunction in time, tried to retroactively criminalize the Trump administration’s decisive action. In a shocking move, Boasberg claimed the deportations were a “flagrant violation” and said there was “sufficient evidence to conclude that there is probable cause to believe the government is in criminal contempt.”
But President Trump didn’t hold back. In a statement, he said:
“A single judge in a single city cannot direct the movements of an aircraft … full of foreign alien terrorists who were physically expelled from U.S. soil.”
He added, “This radical left lunatic should be impeached immediately.”
Trump further emphasized that Boasberg’s attempt to criminalize border enforcement was “an outrageous abuse of power” and “a clear example of the deep state’s obsession with undermining strong American leadership.”
Boasberg, however, claimed the government “willfully defied” him and even threatened to appoint a prosecutor if the officials did not “purge the contempt.” But the appeals court’s decision firmly shut down his judicial overreach.
BOMBSHELL: New Information on The D.C. Helicopter Crash in January Reveals…
The deadly January 29, 2025, midair collision between a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and American Airlines Flight 5342 is now confirmed to be a result of ignored warnings and systemic failure by federal aviation authorities. Under President Biden’s watch, the military and airspace control systems have become dangerously compromised, and Americans are paying the price
Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, the Black Hawk pilot, was instructed multiple times to alter course moments before the deadly crash that killed all 67 onboard the civilian aircraft. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, air traffic control issued a clear directive to “pass behind the CRJ,” but the helicopter continued its deadly path — with no response from the cockpit.
“Potomac helicopter, traffic 10 o’clock, less than a mile, CRJ-700, 800 feet above you,” the controller said, as cited in the Daily Beast. “Do you have that traffic in sight?”
Seconds later: “Potomac helicopter, maintain visual separation. Pass behind the CRJ.”
No turn was executed. No response came from the helicopter crew.
WHY?
Astonishingly, investigators discovered the pilot may not have heard the command due to “a stuck mic”—a radio error blamed on the helicopter’s own crew holding the button down. The FAA and Army have no system in place to ensure commands are heard in critical airspace near our nation’s capital. In an environment already strained under DEI-focused hiring and politicized training priorities, basic operational safety has fallen to the wayside.
“This was preventable,” said NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy. “The FAA knew this type of visual separation procedure in that airspace was dangerous. They just didn’t act fast enough.”
Indeed, the NTSB has now flagged 85 near-miss events just like this between 2021 and 2024 — all happening under the Biden administration’s tenure. The safety agency urgently recommended the FAA restrict helicopter use on Route 4 near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, a notorious flight corridor previously flagged for its deadly risk.
Even more damning? There was only one air traffic controller monitoring both the helicopter and the commercial jetliner at the time of the crash. One person, underpaid, overworked, and likely promoted under woke hiring standards instead of merit, was expected to manage a high-risk zone.
“It was an extremely stressful environment,” an anonymous FAA source told Washington Post, citing chronic staffing shortages and Biden’s failure to fill key transportation leadership posts with qualified personnel.
