Trump’s Republican allies in the Senate BLOCKED my bill with Senator Murkowski to stop the Kennedy Center—or any presidential national memorial—from being demolished without an act of Congress. Just shameful.

How was a Nevada Republican with a 30-year mortgage on a $565,000 home able to loan his Congressional campaign $1.6 million? We don't know, because he has repeatedly failed to submit required financial disclosures that would illuminate his personal financial position.

Laura Ingraham called Biden dining with Xi a low point of American capitalism. Three years later she's gushing that Trump's Xi dinner was historic and epic. Same evil dictator, different letter by the president's name. Watters was there too, still calling Democrats communists.

Today's a good day to recall that antisemite Paul Ingrassia ordered CBP to give accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate his devices back last year, obstructing an investigation into child sex trafficking. www.propublica.org/article/andr...
But when the Tate brothers arrived by private plane in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, they immediately found themselves in the crosshairs of law enforcement once more, as Customs and Border Protection officials seized their electronic devices.

This time, they had a powerful ally come to their aid. Behind the scenes, the White House intervened on their behalf.

Interviews and records reviewed by ProPublica show a White House official told senior Department of Homeland Security officials to return the devices to the brothers several days after they were seized. The official who delivered the message, Paul Ingrassia, is a lawyer who previously represented the Tate brothers before joining the White House, where he was working as its DHS liaison.

In his written request, a copy of which was reviewed by ProPublica, Ingrassia chided authorities for taking the action, saying the seizure of the Tates’ devices was not a good use of time or resources. The request to return the electronics to the Tates, he emphasized, was coming from the White House.
