A Speaker of the House who bills himself as a "constitutional lawyer" is answering a basic questions about the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement by chuckling and saying that Republicans would "never go along" with it
Mike Johnson Is Very Annoyed By the Fourth Amendment’s Existence

Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th. In the Epstein files, there is what appears to be a draft DOJ press release announcing his death that is dated August 9th.

Eliminating ICE is the modern equivalent of opposing the Iraq War, and right now there are two types of Democrats: those who can see where the ball is moving and go to it, and those who will be swept away because they refused to do so.

the thing is the Gateway funding is just not something that can be negotiated on. it's our money. it's appropriated. attempting to trade it for something after it's been appropriated is merely acknowledging that the grounds for freezing it are wholly fictitious. in a sane world, it's impeachable.
