A fascinating dynamic is playing out in two capital cities just 30 miles apart. You might call it a tale of two leaders. In Washington, under the leadership of President Trump, the federal government is undertaking its most aggressive internal audit in American history. With an unsustainable $36 trillion national debt and annual budget deficits […]
President Donald Trump’s first three and a half weeks back in the White House have been remarkable in both pace and success. The president entered office raring to go with a clear vision of where he intends to take the country and is enacting his agenda with unprecedented transparency and precision. This time around, our […]
It was President Ronald Reagan who famously said, “as government expands, liberty contracts.” Like with so many other things, Reagan was ahead of his time with this commonsense observation. A vast unchecked bureaucracy is indeed a direct assault on individual liberty — and tens of millions of Americans are adversely affected by it each and […]
President Trump is bringing smart American common sense back to the federal government, and not a moment too soon. For far too long, a wave of radical left-wing policies, regulations and irrational bureaucratic “norms” have been allowed to fester in hopes of altering the country we know and love into something unrecognizable. But on Jan. […]
On Friday, January 31, 2025, Citizens United, together with several other conservative organizations, urged the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington to deny a preliminary injunction in a challenge to President Trump’s executive order denying so-called birthright citizenship to the children of illegal aliens. In 27-page amicus curiae (friend of the court […]
John Ratcliffe, President Trump’s exceptionally qualified nominee for director of the Central Intelligence Agency, said something that every American must be fully aware of at his confirmation hearing. “Numerous terrorist groups,” Mr. Ratcliffe testified, “and other non-state actors — some of which have even crossed our southern border — still pose a persistent threat to our people and our homeland.” […]
As the confirmation process for President-elect Donald Trump’s stellar group of cabinet nominees barrels forward, there is one unmistakable thing missing among Senate Democrats: credibility. Throughout Trump’s first term and continuing for the duration of the President Joe Biden’s failed administration, Democratic politicians did long-lasting damage to their reputations due to a healthy mix of […]
The reckless policies and regulatory schemes of the radical left that the destructive Biden administration eagerly implemented over the past four years have damaged our great country. President-elect Donald Trump must revoke them without delay. Whether it’s irresponsible federal spending, a demoralized military, racist DEI programs, failing education standards, unaccountable deep state bureaucrats, or a […]
On October 17, 2023, Citizens United submitted the following FOIA request to the State Department. On January 31, 2024, CU filed a lawsuit against both the State Department and Defense Department for similar records relating to Iran’s influence in the Biden Administration. All emails or text messages to or from Special Envoy for Iran […]
When President Joe Biden was inaugurated in 2021, he inherited a world at peace courtesy of President Donald Trump’s first term in office. Regardless, the biased mainstream media swore up and down that Biden’s foreign policy experience made him a better choice, and his team would be akin to putting the “adults back in the […]
With the death of former President Jimmy Carter and the upcoming inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, this transition period reminds us that history does indeed have a way of repeating itself. Although Carter’s 44-year post-presidential tenure — which included being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize — will be fondly remembered by many, his term in […]
