AZ AG Mayes: We have people in Arizona who are being actively harmed by Mike Johnson playing politics and apparently trying to protect the Epstein files. That’s not okay. We’re going to fight as hard as we can to put an end to it and to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in.

Clearly Trump lied when he said his $250 million ballroom wouldn’t “interfere” with the White House.
So who’s watching this mess; the White House Historical Association or the Office of the Curator? Because someone needs to make sure he’s not bulldozing history for a dance floor.

There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.
This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Reading this now. It’s the opinion explaining the reason for granting a TRO (the order came out yesterday) against the National Guard deployment in Illinois. It begins with a quote from Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers against the idea.
