GOP member becomes an independent, narrowing House Republicans’ edge again With Rep. Kevin Kiley going independent, the House GOP majority is down to 217 votes — in a chamber where 218 is a majority.

So Pete Hegseth went on a $93 billion taxpayer-funded spending spree, including buying a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano, $55.3 million worth of iPads, and $6.9 million worth of lobster tail.

And they have the audacity to ask Congress to approve additional funding for this illegal war?

In blow to Trump DOJ, judge disqualifies ‘triumvirate’ leading U.S. attorney’s office in NJ The judge said the DOJ's defense of the triad was an "enormous assertion of Presidential power."

In other words, the drive to reward allies over experienced prosecutors isn’t just a governance problem. It could become a get-out-of-jail card for the very criminals the Justice Department exists to prosecute.

Judge Matthew Brann issued a sweeping 130-page ruling against Attorney General Pam Bondi’s unconventional move to install a three-person leadership panel (dubbed a “triumvirate”) to oversee the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey.

HOLY SH*T !

How wonderful that quiet was,
right after Biden got in office.
The ears were still ringing a little,
but a feeling of peace & safety
prevailed, that dark smoke
clear away.

A judge just said the Trump administration likely ran unconstitutional immigration policies in Minnesota… then let them keep going. That’s the madness: government breaks the law, court spots it, public pays for the privilege.

Well done 🙏

Why would elected Republicans turn on him?
He's delivering their long-held vision of a white, theocratic, patriarchal GOP Unitary Executive America & he's shredding the Constitution they resent to do it.
And they think God is on their side.
