Citizens United, a conservative non-profit group that is known for challenging campaign finance restrictions, announced a new anti-Biden project Thursday as an effort to “fight back” against President Joe Biden‘s progressive agenda.

Citizens United in planning on introducing the new project at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Fla., this week.

Citizens United President David Bossie told Fox News that StopBidenAgenda.com was created to “fight back” against Biden’s radical policies.

Bossie said that Biden “did not receive a mandate to impose his radical agenda on America and we won’t let him undo the successful America first policies of Donald Trump without a fight.”

According to the page’s website, the project seeks to expose the radical Biden agenda and defeat it through videos, op-eds, petitions and media appearances.

The website also features petitions for supporters to sign, including one to “restore trust in our elections,” another to “appoint a special counsel” for the federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and a petition to “stop the radical Biden-Harris agenda.”

“This project exists to oppose the radical Biden agenda,” the website states. “The American people did not vote for progressivism, radicalism, or socialism.”

CPAC begins Thursday and will continue until Sunday. The conference will feature many Republican speakers including top lawmakers like Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ar), Ted Cruz (R-Tx), Josh Hawley (R-Mo) and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Former President Trump will be headlining the conference on the final day and is scheduled to give the closing remarks Sunday afternoon in his first public appearance since leaving the White House.

Historic House Vote Expels Rep. George Santos Amidst Scandal

In a turn of events, the House of Representatives made history on Friday with a vote to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), marking the first such expulsion in over two decades. A moment fraught with gravity unfolded as Speaker Mike Johnson wielded his gavel to formalize Santos’ removal, setting a precedent in congressional annals.

Santos, indicted on 23 counts related to wire fraud, identity theft, and other charges, has not faced conviction but stands accused of misusing campaign funds for opulent purchases. The bipartisan vote, tallying 311 to 114, signaled robust support for expulsion, with a marginally higher number of Republicans opting to retain Santos.

Questions loomed as Speaker Johnson left the chamber, his silence leaving the fate of the ongoing government spending battle uncertain. According to reports from Fox News, Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer emphasized the non-partisan nature of the decision, asserting that members concluded Santos had tarnished the House’s reputation and was unfit for representation.

Within the GOP, conflicting opinions emerged, with Rep. Darrell Issa arguing against expulsion, citing the presumption of innocence. The tight-lipped stance of the House Ethics Committee played a pivotal role in the deliberations.

Conversely, members of the New York Republican delegation, led by Rep. Marc Molinaro, asserted Santos’ commission of crimes, justifying expulsion based on a comprehensive investigation.

Santos himself predicted the outcome in an exclusive morning interview on “FOX & Friends.” This vote not only underlines the House’s rare use of expulsion powers but also sets a critical precedent in handling members facing severe legal challenges.
