EXCLUSIVE - Former Vice President Mike Pence says his fight to keep the Republican Party from drifting too far from its conservative roots and principles, amid a rise of populism in the GOP and big government creep in President Donald Trump 's second administration, is "the calling of my life right now." And Pence takes issue with the conventional wisdom that Trump, since he first won the White House a decade ago, has upended and completely transformed the Republican Party. "I'm convinced that while President Trump has changed some aspects of the agenda of the Republican Party, he hasn't really changed the Republican Party," Pence argued in an exclusive interview this past week with Fox News Digital, a couple of months ahead of the release of a new book promoting the conservative agenda. Sitting in his Washington, D.C., office at Advancing American Freedom, his policy and advocacy organization that has been expanding in recent months, the former vic...

As a partial government shutdown blows past the one-month mark, Democrats are demanding lawmakers shrink the size of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) funding lapse — while leaving out the agency at the heart of Trump’s immigration crackdown. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in their view, can stay shut down. "We already said we'd open everything in the department except ICE, so the answer is yes," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said when asked about partial funding for DHS. "Republicans won't agree because they're trying to hold the security of the country hostage." SCHUMER, DEMS AGAIN BLOCK DHS FUNDING, FORCE STATE OF THE UNION SHOWDOWN His position was echoed by Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif. "We need to fund every aspect of it other than ICE. We're going to fight on the ICE funding . I mean, they already have $75 billion," Khanna said, noting that ICE itself already received funding through Donald Trump’s Big Beau...

Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson has sued the LPGA and USGA for its policies that prohibit biological males who underwent male puberty from competing in women's competition . The LPGA said in a statement it was aware of the lawsuit and would "let that process play out on the proper forum."
