IN FULL

The by-election in the UK parliamentary constituency of Gorton and Denton in NW England has concluded,with early morning results indicating a win for the Green Party.

The election was marred by sectarian campaigning, with theGreen Party focusing on issues such as Gaza in a constituency with a significant Muslim population.

Theresults come as a stunning blow to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who is currentlyembroiled in a diplomatic fracas with President Donald J. Trump over the fate of the Chagos Islands and the Diego Garcia military base.

While Starmer is unlikely to be deposed within his own party before May’s local elections across the country,he will almost certainly face a leadership challenge this summer.

GORTON.

In Gorton and Denton, a constituency that takes in parts of Manchester,complaints from independent election observers highlighted illegal “family voting” practiceson polling day (Thursday), wherefamily members were instructed on how to vote, a practice that is unlawful in Britain.

Labour, which previously held the seat with a large majority,saw its vote share collapse following the recent resignationof its MP over anti-Semitic messages.

The Reform Party, led by Nigel Farage,fielded Matthew Goodwin– a well known academic and TV presenter –who finished a strong second.

The results were as follows:

A total of 36,814 valid votes were cast.

The Green Party’s strategy included campaigning in Urdu and Bengali and relying on postal voting.

Thevictory is comparable to the Democratic Socialists of Americaoutperforming theDemocratic Party in the US.

Meanwhile, an anti-Reform Party, right-wing splinter group, ‘Advance UK,’garnered fewer votes than the satirical Monster Raving Loony Party– achieving just 154 votes, or 0.4 percent.

Judge Rules IRS Illegally Shared Taxpayer Data 43,000 Times.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A federal judge ruled that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) illegally shared nearly 43,000 taxpayer addresses with U.S. immigration officials.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The ruling was issued on Thursday in Washington, D.C.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The IRS not only failed to ensure that ICE’s request for confidential taxpayer address information met the statutory requirements, but this failure led the IRS to disclose confidential taxpayer addresses to ICE in situations where ICE’s request for that information was patently deficient.” – Judge Colleen Kollar-Kottely

🎯IMPACT: Judge Kollar-Kotelly has been one of several District Court judges enabling Democrat lawfare efforts to hinder President Donald J. Trump’s agenda. Last April, the judge blocked part of an election integrity Executive Order issued by President Trump requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.

IN FULL

U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly—elevated by former President Bill Clinton but first appointed to the bench by former President Ronald Reagan—ruled on Thursday that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) unlawfully granted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) access to around 43,000 addresses contained in its records.

The disclosure, according to the federal government,was part of an effort to integrate and share data across agencies.“

In other words, the IRS not only failed to ensure that ICE’s request for confidential taxpayer address information met the statutory requirements,but this failure led the IRS to disclose confidential taxpayer addresses to ICEin situations where ICE’s request forthat information was patently deficient,” Judge Kollar-Kotelly wrote in her ruling.

The decision is a significant blow to the Trump administration’s efforts to streamline intra-federal government data sharing, especially when it pertains to information that could assist federal immigration officials withidentifying and detaining illegal immigrants.

Kollar-Kotelly’s ruling follows an earlier order issued bythe judge in November that prohibited the Trump White House’s data-sharing policies.

Notably,that ruling has been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appealsfor the District of Columbia Circuit.

The National Pulse previouslyreported that Judge Kollar-Kotelly has been one of several District Court judges enabling Democrat lawfare efforts to hinder President Donald J. Trump’s agenda.

Last April, the judge blocked part of an election integrity Executive Order issued by President Trump requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Chris LaCivita Picks Up Another Client Trump Refused to Endorse in the Primary.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Idaho Governor Brad Little (R) announced on Thursday that he has hired former Trump campaign chief and Republican National Committee (RNC) Chief Operating Officer (COO) Chris LaCivita as a senior advisor.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Gov. Brad Little, Chris LaCivita, and President Donald J. Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on Thursday, February 26. 2026.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I’m excited to announce that [Chris LaCivita] has joined my re-election campaign as senior advisor.” — Brad Little

Idaho Governor Brad Little (R) announced on Thursday that he has hired former Trump campaign chiefand Republican National Committee (RNC) Chief Operating Officer (COO)Chris LaCivita as a senior advisor.

Notably, LaCivita—who has recently attacked a number of President Donald J. Trump’s long-time supporters, including calling the Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse an “illegal immigrant“ —is also serving as a senior advisor to Senator John Cornyn‘s (R-TX) re-election== campaign.

Despite pro-Cornyn campaign groups spending millions on the U.S. Senate primary race in Texas, the anti-Trump incumbent has fallen to a distant second place—and even third place—in most polls ahead of the March 3 primary.“

I’m excited to announce that [Chris LaCivita] has joined my re-election campaign as senior advisor,” Little wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Notably, Gov. Little was not endorsed by President Donald J. Trump during his 2021 primary run, with the America First leader instead backing then-Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin (R-ID).

However, late last year, Trump did back Little’s re-election bid.

The National Pulse reported last week that LaCivita abandoned a major defamation lawsuit against the left-wing Daily Beastafter theoutlet published a stunning report about him gouging nearly $20M from the campaign’s coffers.

“The consulting firm of Donald Trump’s White House campaign’s co-manager has raked in $19.2 millionand counting from the Republican nominee’s political operationin just two years,” the Beast reported in late 2024.

The Daily Beast did not retract or even have to change any part of its story. It also offered no apology or cash payment, both of which are common in settlements.

Judge rejects request to block Trump White House from building its $400 million ballroom project

The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a privately funded group, wanted the judge to halt the project until it goes through independent reviews and wins approval from Congress.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Thursday rejected a preservationist group’s request to block the Trump administration from continuing construction of a $400 million ballroom where it demolished the East Wing of the White House.

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruledthat the National Trust for Historic Preservation was unlikely to succeed on the merits of its bid to temporarily halt President Donald Trump’s project. He said the privately funded group based its challenge on a “ragtag group of theories” under the Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution, and would have a better chance of success if it amended the lawsuit.

“Unfortunately, because both sides initially focused on the President’s constitutional authority to destruct and construct the East Wing of the White House, Plaintiff didn’t bring the necessary cause of action to test the statutory authority the President claims is the basis to do this construction project without the blessing of Congress and with private funds,” the judge wrote.

The preservationists sought an order pausing the ballroom project until it undergoes multiple independent reviews and wins approval from Congress.

Trump used his social media account tohail the ruling as “Great news for America.” The Republican president said the project was ahead of schedule and under budget and “will stand long into the future as a symbol to the Greatness of America.”

The preservationists did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The White House announced the ballroom project over the summer. By late October, the Republican president had demolished the East Wing to make way for a ballroom that he said will fit 999 people.The White House said private donations, including from Trump himself, would pay for the planned construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom.

Trump proceeded with the project before seeking input from a pair of federal review panels, the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts. Trump has stocked both commission with allies.

The arts panel approved the project at a meeting last week. The planning commission is set to discuss it further at a March 5 meeting.

During a preliminary hearing in December,Leon warned the administration to refrain from making decisions on underground work, such as the routing of plumbing and gas lines, that would dictate the scope of future ballroom construction above ground.

The group challenging the project argued that Trump could be emboldened to go further — and possibly demolish the White House’s West Wing or Executive Mansion — if the court did not intervene.

“The losers will be (the) American public, who will be left with a massive ballroom that not only overwhelms what is perhaps the nation’s most historically important building,but will have been built in violation of an astonishingly wide range of laws,” plaintiffs’ attorneys wrote.

The administration said in a court filing that above-ground construction on the ballroom would not begin until April. In themeantime, government lawyers argued, the preservationist group’s challenge was premature because the building plans were not final.

The administration also argued thatother presidents did not need congressional approval for previous White House renovation projects, large and small.

“Many of those projects were highly controversial in their time yet have since become accepted—even beloved—parts of the White House,” government lawyers wrote.

Leon, who was nominated to the bench by Republican President George W. Bush, saidthe White House office behind the project is not an agency covered under the jurisdiction of the Administrative Procedure Act. The judge alsosaid the preservationists, who argued that the ballroom usurped the authority of Congress, did not have the basis to invoke the power of the courts.

As a result,“I cannot reach the merits of the National Trust’s novel and weighty statutory arguments” at this time, Leon said.
