The White House confirms Trump officials tried to convince Lauren Boebert today to drop her support for the Epstein files discharge petition.
Once Adelita Grijalva is sworn in this afternoon, majority support will be reached on that discharge petition in the House.

Trump proposes 50-year mortgage to help affordability
Trump supports 50-year mortgages to lower monthly payments, but longer terms reduce equity and aren't supported under current mortgage rules.
On the 300,000 house in an example in this article, to save roughly 250 a month, which adds up to 150,000 over fifty years) will cost you around 269,000. Gee, who would benefit from this? Trump proposes 50-year mortgage to help affordability share.google/4nHKPCMn5I6a...

Of course, this is precisely why we expect law enforcement to wear badges and uniforms and show identification. Anyone could have foreseen (and many of us did) that this would be a serious side-effect of ICE's insistence on behaving like unaccountable thugs.

News just broke that the Venezuelan boat that Trump struck was not, in fact, headed to the U.S. with drugs.
But this story is disturbing for other reasons, and you need to know why. It's another sign of Trump's growing lawlessness. And it's bad counter-narcotics strategy.

All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.

Pentagon authorizes up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved sending up to 600 military lawyers to the Justice Department to serve as temporary immigration judges, according to a memo reviewed by The Associated Press.
Trump and Bondi fired actually experienced immigration judges. Now, claiming they don't have enough immigration judges, they're asking military lawyers from DOD to come over on detail and serve as temporary judges. Blatant way to further militarize immigration enforcement. apnews.com/article/pent...

Thereβs no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC β send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nationβs capital when he wants to.
