Rep. Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) introduced new legislation on Monday to prevent lawfare from obstructing the President’s election integrity agenda by codifying President Trump’s Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections executive order.

President Trump’s March 25 executive order mandates voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, audits and improves the security of voting machines, and orders the DOJ to enforce the law against states that count mail-in ballots received after Election Day. It also prioritizes the enforcement of laws preventing foreign money from influencing elections and federally funded organizations from lobbying or supporting candidates.

The order includes a provision that “the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with the DOGE Administrator, shall review each State’s publicly available voter registration list and available records concerning voter list maintenance activities as required by 52 U.S.C. 20507, alongside Federal immigration databases and State records requested, including through subpoena where necessary and authorized by law, for consistency with Federal requirements.”

Hamadeh’s bill, cosponsored by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY), comes as the Trump Administration faces another lawsuit from Democrats. Plaintiffs argue that the President’s executive order, which enforces federal laws including preventing illegal aliens from voting in federal elections, is unconstitutional.

A source close to the Congressman told The Gateway Pundit, “By codifying the executive order, Congressman Hamadeh’s bill thwarts rogue activist judges who are trying to take on the powers of both the executive and legislative branches.”

Hamadeh’s office provided the following press release exclusively to The Gateway Pundit:

WASHINGTON DC – Congressman Abe Hamadeh (AZ-08) promised the voters in Congressional District 8 that he would take swift action to increase confidence in our nation’s elections. On Monday, Congressman Hamadeh continued to build on that promise by introducing legislation, co-sponsored by Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24), Chair of the Congressional Election integrity Caucus, to support and codify President Donald Trump’s election integrity agenda.

“In Arizona, we have seen what the mismanagement of voter rolls, failed election infrastructure, and corrupt courts can do to destroy voter confidence and faith in our system overall. We are taking swift action to rebuild citizens’ trust in our elections through comprehensive and meaningful election integrity legislation,” said Congressman Hamadeh.

“As Chair of the Election Integrity Caucus, I am thrilled to see President Trump sign an Executive Order aimed at securing our elections and restoring confidence in our democratic process. This Executive Order removes illegal immigrants from voter rolls, mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration and revokes the Biden administration’s unconstitutional Executive Order 14019. It is crucial that President Trump’s EO be codified into law to ensure its full effect. President Trump and the Election Integrity Caucus are committed to ensuring our elections remain free, fair, and secure,” said Congresswoman Tenney.

By codifying President Trump’s Executive Order 14248, entitled Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections, Congressman Hamadeh’s bill would make law an extensive list of necessary measures including government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship, security standards for voting equipment, enforcement of the voter-list maintenance, requiring voter-verifiable paper ballots, and prosecuting non-citizen voting and related crimes.

According to the Congressman’s office, his bill will reinforce the President’s executive order by doing the following:

• Require documentary, government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship on voter registration forms.
• Provide states with access to Federal databases to verify eligibility and citizenship of individuals registering to vote.
• Prioritize prosecuting non-citizen voting and related crimes, including through use of DHS records and coordination with state attorneys general.
• Condition federal election-related funding for states on complying with the integrity measures set forth by Federal law, including the requirement that states use the national mail voter registration form that will now require proof of citizenship.
• Directs the updating of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines 2.0 and security standards for voting equipment and prioritizing federal grant funds accordingly.
• Require a voter-verifiable paper ballot record and not using ballots in which the counted vote is contained within a barcode or QR code.
• Directs the Attorney General to enter into information-sharing agreements with state election officials to identify cases of election fraud or other election law violations.
• Penalize non-compliant states.
• Prevent non-citizens from any involvement in administering elections.
• Require full enforcement of the voter-list maintenance requirements of the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act.

This is a developing story.

The federal swamp just got exposed — and it’s worse than anyone thought.

In a bombshell revelation Monday, Elon Musk, head of the Trump-appointed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), accused the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) of deleting a terabyte of financial data in a desperate attempt to cover up massive corruption.

The accusation comes amid a fiery standoff between DOGE and USIP, a taxpayer-funded outfit President Donald Trump ordered dismantled earlier this year.

Last month, tensions boiled over when Musk’s efficiency squad, backed by FBI agents and D.C. Metro Police, stormed the institute’s headquarters, evicting its staff after days of resistance.

George Moose, the now-fired acting president of USIP, tried to cast the takeover as illegal, insisting his agency was off-limits because of its nonprofit status. But the fact remains: the institute is funded by taxpayer dollars and has operated with almost no real oversight.

The standoff followed Trump’s February executive order to slash “unnecessary” government entities.

According to conservative influencer Mario Nawfal:

“The Department of Government Efficiency’s discovery at the United States Institute of Peace reveals Washington’s dirty secret: agencies often do precisely the opposite of their stated mission.

When DOGE investigators finally gained access to USIP’s books—after days of institutional resistance requiring FBI intervention—they uncovered the unthinkable: $132,000 funneled to a former Taliban member and $1.3 million to an Iraqi organization with questionable ties.

This fits a devastating pattern. A 2019 Special Inspector General report found $19 billion in U.S. aid to Afghanistan was unaccounted for or misused between 2002-2016, showing how routinely taxpayer money flows to our adversaries under noble pretenses.

Even more disturbing was the attempted cover-up. USIP officials deleted a terabyte of financial data hoping to hide their tracks, not realizing DOGE’s technological capabilities would recover everything—a perfect example of the 65% of federal agencies still using outdated IT systems vulnerable to mismanagement.

America ranks a dismal 27th in global transparency rankings, behind much smaller nations. From the Pentagon’s $125 billion in administrative waste to the IRS’s $1.2 billion in improper payments, the pattern is undeniable.

Elon’s technology-driven audits are precisely what these institutions fear most—sunlight on decades of deception.”

“Any government institution is most likely to be the opposite of its name,” Musk wrote on X.

He added, “They deleted a terabyte of financial data to cover their crimes, but they don’t understand technology, so we recovered it.”

Kid Rock has dished the dirt on his White House dinner with President Trump and the liberal comedian Bill Maher.

Despite being a long-time critic of Trump and the MAGA movement, Maher agreed to meet with Trump and Dana White at the White House.

The meeting was engineered by Kid Rock, who is a fervent supporter of Trump and also a close friend of Bill Maher.

Appearing on the Fox News channel on Tuesday, Stuart Varney asked him how the meeting had gone.

He explained:

It went so well. We talked about a lot of things that we had in common, which Bill Maher’s a big supporter of Trump’s stance on the border, of ending wokeism.

The President even asked him about policy, like what he thought with Iran getting a nuclear weapon and how Israel should react.

Bill’s a big supporter of Israel. We broke bread and talked about things we had in common, and it could not have been more cordial, more nice. I think everyone was so pleasantly surprised.

I mean, it was so nice to have my friend Dana White there, and Dana goes, you know, he told me, he goes, Bob, you did the right thing here. This was a good thing. Because everyone was a little suspect about it.

Even the President had called me a few days ago, and he goes, what the hell you got me doing here? And I’m like, I’m just trying to break bread with some of our biggest critics and say, like, hey, it’s okay to talk to one another, you know?

We can maybe, just maybe bring a little bit of civility back to this country for reasonable people. How do you maintain a friendship with Bill Maher, because you’re very different on politics, I think.

While Maher is a registered Democrat and supports the party across every election cycle, he is also well known for holding more sensible positions on matters including free speech, wokeism, immigration and Islam.

Ahead of the meeting, Maher compared it to when President Richard Nixon visited China at the height of the Cold War.

“There was nobody who was harder on Trump or more prescient about the fact that he wasn’t going to leave office voluntarily,” he explained. “I have the credentials.”

“But they also respect me because I’m honest about the woke train to crazytown, and I don’t shrink from that, and I’ve also lost a lot of fans for that.”

“The woke people have left the building, and I’m willing to make that sacrifice. But it does give you a certain credibility.”

Violent, far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) experienced much-deserved humiliation today after trying to scold Republicans for trying to stop the liberal lawfare that is sabotaging President Trump’s agenda.

As TGP readers know, black-robed tyrants across the country have been legislating from the bench to stop Trump from implementing executive orders on issues ranging from illegal immigration, transgenders in the military, shrinking the federal government, and more. Unsurprisingly, Republicans in Congress have proposed a variety of remedies to stop this madness, including impeaching these Democrat judges and ending nationwide injunctions.

But Democrats have pounced in anger over Republicans daring to fight back and their party’s biggest mouth decided to give her unhinged ‘thoughts’ on this situation during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, which was focused on district court judges blocking Trump’s agenda.

“The problem right now is if we continue down this road, then we will not have a rule of law,” Crockett whined. “Because we have people serving, and they are currently saying things like ‘ignore the judge’s order.”

“What it means to have law and order in this country is that you follow the order and go through the appeals process even if you dislike what the judge did!” she added.

But Crockett conveniently forgot one inconvenient fact, exposing her to humiliation. It turns out that she cares nothing for the rule of law when Pro-Constitution judges rule against her far-left policies and presidents.

Crockett decided to co-sponsor a bill offered by her fellow comrade Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to impeach Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito last July.

“The unchecked corruption crisis on the Supreme Court has now spiraled into a Constitutional crisis threatening American democracy writ large. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s pattern of refusal to recuse from consequential matters before the court in which they hold widely documented financial and personal entanglements constitutes a grave threat to American rule of law, the integrity of our democracy, and one of the clearest cases for which the tool of impeachment was designed,” AOC claimed at the time.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), who chaired the hearing, noted this glaring hypocrisy and proceeded to humiliate Crockett.

“I’m going to note that when Miss Ocasio-Cortez filed articles of impeachment against Justice Thomas and Alito, Miss Crockett was one of the co-sponsors,” he said. “It does seem interesting that when the shoe is on the other foot, everyone is self-righteous.”

Ouch!
