Cornyn says FBI will help locate absent Texas Democrats, but scope of feds’ role unclear
The Republican senator, who is facing a tough primary challenge, previously asked FBI Director Kash Patel for the agency’s help in tracking down the House lawmakers.

Responding to President Trump’s plan to put District police under federal control, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb called the move “unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful.”

President Trump’s goal is to overwhelm us and leave us powerless to stop his extremist, authoritarian aims.
But he has underestimated us – because we’ve spent the past 200 days in courtrooms across the country, filing more than 85 legal actions to hold this administration accountable.
