Staff Reports
The Senate has officially confirmed Harmeet Dhillon to lead the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, and if anyone is wondering why the Democrats are sweating bullets, they need look no further than the 52-45 vote that brought her on board. This appointment mostly followed party lines, making it clear which party the majority trusts to uphold our Constitutional rights against the onslaught of wokeness.
Harmeet Dhillon’s credentials are impressive. Her career includes taking a stand against Big Tech’s relentless censorship of free speech and representing Christians who faced obstacles during COVID-related bans on prayer. It’s not every day that someone withstands the storm of corporate wokeism and comes out swinging. Former President Trump, who endorsed her nomination, emphasized that Dhillon knows how to defend civil liberties and legal voting rights—an essential combination in today’s tumultuous political climate. She’s not just any attorney; she is among the leading lights in election law, ensuring that only lawful votes are tallied, because let’s face it, illegal voting is so yesterday’s news, yet somehow never seems to go away.
Unfortunately, not everyone in the GOP seems to share the vision. Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski, the oft-criticized outlier, was one lonely figure that stepped across party lines to vote against the confirmation. This begs a few questions: What’s going on in Murkowski’s head, and does she really believe aligning with the Democrats is going to score her any points back home? Many believe Alaska would be better off navigating these political waters without her, and her past decisions suggest she’s facing some serious identity crises.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is one big reason why people call the GOP: "The stupid Party."

In the grand scheme of things, Murkowski’s vote is but a drop in the bucket when weighing the overall conservative agenda. The response on social media was swift and unforgiving, with many Alaskans calling for an exorcism of ranked choice voting, which seems to only confuse matters further. It’s almost like a “choose your own adventure” book where every option leads into a political abyss.
The controversy doesn’t stop there. Trump has recently called out an entire cadre of turncoat Republicans—Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, and Susan Collins—for siding with Democrats on various issues, including tariffs aimed at combating the flow of Fentanyl from Canada. It’s hard to believe that four supposed conservatives opted to aid the Democrats in pushing a resolution that did little more than signal virtue rather than take meaningful action. Maybe they should all invest in a new political compass because wherever they’re headed certainly isn’t MAGA country.
In all likelihood, Harmeet Dhillon’s confirmation will lead to a pushback against Democrats’ mischief and an opportunity for defending American values. Perhaps Dhillon’s task will be akin to cleaning up a messy house—picking up the pieces left behind by those who prioritize partisanship over principles. The left might want to brace themselves; this is one civil rights division that won’t shy away from delivering justice, one lawful vote at a time.
