Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen appeared on Fox News' "Saturday in America" with host Kayleigh McEnany this weekend, where the two discussed a September report from Axios alleging that top Biden administration officials questioned and criticized the way the former president’s team handled pardons and made use of an autopen in the waning days of his White House term.
The Sept. 6 report has resurfaced after President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he will be terminating all documents allegedly signed by former President Joe Biden via autopen.
While McEnany acknowledged that autopen use is "par for the course" in the White House and that "every president does it," she argued that the Biden administration’s use of the tool wa...
More than 400 employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) accused Gov. Tim Walz of failing to act on widespread fraud warnings and retaliating against whistleblowers.
The Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account, which says it consists of more than 480 current staff members at the Minnesota DHS, wrote on X that Walz is "100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota."
"We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports," the group claimed. "In addition to retaliating against whistleblower[s], Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legis...

Baltimore, MD - Nov. 29, 2025 - A $20 bowl from outside Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley’s home this month is just one of millions of packages swiped across the metro region this year — helping propel the area to the nation’s fifth-worst hotspot for porch theft, according to a new report.
