House Republicans want to slash funding for the Government Accountability Office — a nonpartisan watchdog that investigates wrongdoing at federal agencies — by nearly half in the next fiscal year.
So much for reining in waste, fraud, and abuse.

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament approves the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Decision needs ratified by Iran’s Security Council.
It would trap 20% of the world’s oil supply and send a catastrophic shock through the global economy.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

In Oval Office meeting, Bukele s said that he has no plans to return Abrego Garcia, telling reporters, “Of course I’m not going to do it.” Obviously that was engineered with Trump, who is ready to again double down with his rank confrontation with the courts. Very very ugly situation.

Another court order that Trump is now openly defying. Republicans in Congress assured us repeatedly that Trump would never defy a court order. It is obvious that he simply doesn’t care though after the Supreme Court gave him immunity.

What a contrast between how our allies get treated versus little dictators like Bukele. Not a word about him not wearing a suit either, as he petitions the US to expand his country’s mercenary penal colony by sending him more money.
