Trump Signs Record Number Of Congressional Review Act Resolutions-lllllllllllllll
President Donald Trump signed five Congressional Review Act resolutions into law on Dec. 11, bringing the total number he has approved in 2025 to 22. That total marks the most CRA resolutions signed by any president in a single year since the law took effect in 1996, surpassing the combined total of all previous presidents.
The five resolutions disapproved of Bureau of Land Management resource management plans covering parts of North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and northern and central Alaska, Ballotpedia reported.
The Congressional Review Act, signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996, allows Congress to review and reject newly issued federal agency rules.
Under the law, Congress has 60 working days to review a rule once it is formally submitted.
Both the House and Senate may pass a joint resolution of disapproval, which is then sent to the president for signature or veto.
If the president signs the resolution, the rule is overturned and the issuing agency is barred from issuing a substantially similar rule in the future.
The CRA applies broadly to agency rules, with exceptions for certain internal agency matters. Agencies themselves determine which actions qualify as rules and are therefore subject to congressional review.
When lawmakers dispute an agency’s decision not to submit an action, they may seek an opinion from the Government Accountability Office on whether the action should be treated as a rule under the CRA.
The 60-day review window begins once an agency submits the rule to Congress, even if the agency action occurred earlier. Congressional use of the CRA has increased sharply since 2017.
In the nearly 30 years since its enactment, Congress has repealed 42 rules under the CRA, with the vast majority occurring in recent years.
Between his two administrations, Trump has now signed 38 of the 42 CRA resolutions that have become law, accounting for approximately 95 percent of all successful CRA actions.
From 1996 through 2016, Congress passed six resolutions of disapproval. President George W. Bush signed one of those resolutions, while President Barack Obama vetoed the remaining five.
During Trump’s first term, Congress passed 17 CRA resolutions. Trump signed 16 and vetoed one. During the Biden administration, Congress passed 14 CRA resolutions. Former President Joe Biden signed three and vetoed 11. Congress has also expanded the scope of its CRA use in 2025.
The five resolutions targeting BLM resource management plans marked the first time the CRA has been used to overturn a BLM plan of that type.
Lawmakers also disapproved three Environmental Protection Agency notices of decision this year.
Those notices had granted California waivers under the Clean Air Act, allowing the state to implement its own vehicle emissions standards.
While Congress has previously used the CRA to overturn EPA rules, this marked the first time it has been used to disapprove a Clean Air Act waiver.
Trump also signed the first CRA resolutions disapproving rules from the National Park Service, Department of Energy, Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
Senate Republicans confirmed nearly 100 of President Donald Trump’s nominees, outpacing previous administrations and even his own first term, as they raced to wrap up the year.
A 53–43 vote Thursday approved 97 of Trump’s picks, marking some of the final floor action in the Senate after a frenetic stretch driven by Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., once Republicans took control of the chamber in January.
Along the way, Republicans navigated internal divisions to pass the president’s signature “one big, beautiful bill” and reopened the government following the longest shutdown in U.S. history, Fox News reported.
Confirming Trump’s nominees, however, often proved nearly impossible under Senate rules, as Democrats imposed blanket objections to even the lowest-level positions across the government.
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said Republicans began the year confirming Trump’s Cabinet at a breakneck pace, only to run headlong into what he described as “unprecedented obstruction from the Democratic minority.”
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
