after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

The correct word for killing a lot of people, destroying a lot of things, spending a lot of resources, and ending up back where things started is "failure." Or if you'll allow two words, "avoidable disaster."

Trump administration drops effort against law firms after judges find president's orders unconstitutional Numerous judges have ruled against Trump's executive orders targeting certain law firms.

This flew under the radar, but Trump's DOJ has abandoned its legal assault on the law firms that courageously refused to bend the knee to him.

This should serve as a reminder for the firms that sucked up to Trump: appeasing a tyrant will get you nowhere.

The Paramount/Warner Bros. Merger is Not What a Free Press Looks Like The takeover is a threat to our economy and our democracy. State Attorneys General can stop it.

They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.

Kristi Noem on Alex Pretti: "I did not call him a domestic terrorist. I said it appeared to be an incident of."

Also Kristi Noem: " This individual…committed an act of domestic terrorism. That's the facts.”

Judge slams Trump over 5-year-old: "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Two things can be true: we’re a competitive authoritarian state with all sorts of efforts to put a thumb on the scale of who has power AND we have sufficiently free and sufficiently fair elections that every month we see the party in power lose.

BASH: A federal judge in Texas just yesteday said 'administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse.' Why is he wrong?

RON JOHNSON: Because this has to with immigration law. Again, I'm not a lawyer.

BASH: Wouldn't ICE wearing body cameras help with what you're describing?

RON JOHNSON: I don't have a problem with that personally, but that's not what I heard what Democrats were demanding. Their primary demand was judicial warrants, which is completely unacceptable.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.

James Comer spent every day for 2 years and millions of US taxpayer dollars trying to link Joe Biden to Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014, but has zero interest in UAE putting $500 million into Trump’s crypto company then getting advanced AI chips from the US.

The overwhelming majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, while Trump has increased his net worth by $4 billion since taking office—according to a new report from The New Yorker.
