The shutdown is over. The data drought is not.
What we know (and mostly don't) about when the data flow will resume, what we'll never get, and what the lasting damage could be:

Ahem. It's the job of the President to appoint DAs - with advice and consent from the Senate.

The President can ignore that rule - but only once (per district) and only for 120 days.

Do you know who appoints DAs after the 120 day mark has passed?

Pam Bondi doesn't. Because it's the judiciary.

Side note. Jim Comey says that DOJ accessed material seized from Dan Richman that was not scoped for the prior investigation, 2 different 4A violations. As part of his 2nd bid to get the grand jury transcript, he said if Bondi relied on 4A violations to ratify THE FIRST TIME, it's 4A violation.

SENATOR REVEREND NO ONE IS BETTER AT SOLVING THE PROBLEMS HE CREATES THAN PRESIDENT TRUMP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?

This the first visit to the US for Mohammed since the 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a contributing columnist to The Post and an outspoken critic of the Saudi government. Trump in his first term shielded Mohammed from scrutiny after the CIA concluded that he ordered Khashoggi’s assassination.

TWO QUESTIONS FOR AMERICA

1. Do you agree that a child rapist can’t be POTUS?

2. If so, why do you not support an immediate DOJ and FBI investigation to determine if Donald Trump committed the same crime that two of his closest friends for 17 years committed thousands of times?
