Laura when I first heard that these things were no king' protests I thought this was a RuPaul [Charles] thing, said Arroyo. You know, no kings only queens. But apparently this is anti-Trump protest. That's really what this is.

Less than a month after the Long Island Expressway's Clean Pass program lapsed, some groups and lawmakers are trying to bring it back, saying commutes have gotten longer since electric vehicles got booted from the HOV lanes... About 48,000 Clean Pass vehicles lost their ability to legally use the high-occupancy vehicle lanes on Oct. 1 because the federal government did not renew permission for New York and 14 other states to grant exemptions for zero-emission vehicles in HOV lanes on federal highways. Currently, only carpoolers are able to use the HOV lanes.

I have eight GREAT U.S. Attorneys, Highly Respected ALL, who will not be confirmed for their positions in various Highly Consequential States only because they're Republicans, and the Democrats have convinced Chuck Grassley to honor the stupid and outdated Blue Slip tradition, which precludes very talented and dedicated people from attaining High Office. The Democrats violate this practice in order to get people in, but Republicans just don't.

The Office of Management and Budget is a strange institution. People who've worked there for decades struggle to describe it in terms a normal person would understand. It is part of the White House but gets treated like a Cabinet agency. O.M.B.'s workforce of about five hundred people is minuscule compared with most agencies, and yet its remit covers the entire government. The agency doesn't make policy or write regulations, but, crucially, it controls the flow of money from Congress to federal agencies.

We've already seen a rise in political violence and hatred in America, and then you've got swastikas apparently appearing in the offices of Republican members of Congress. You've got young Republicans engaging in the most anti-Semitic and racist speech possible. This is apparently who many of these people are. They are ripping the sheets off in plain view of the American people. Their words, their actions, revealing themselves in so many different ways, continued the New York Democrat, adding:

"They expelled George Santos, Mike Johnson did. He was Speaker and oversaw George Santos being expelled. Why isn't he doing anything about Cory Mills?" Greene told Axios. "There's clearly proof behind her accusations that a judge is issuing a restraining order. So I would say to Speaker Johnson, this is a serious matter, and it needs to be taken seriously." Mills has previously denied the allegations.

Time didn't start yesterday. Conservative principles didn't just start being challenged in the last 8 years. The threat has been omnipresent. It may not have seemed as dire to some because that man was standing his post when the rest of us were not. You know why the First Amendment became a litmus test in Republican politics and in the judiciary? It was owned by the Left until McConnell started grilling every candidate, newly elected official, or prospective judge about it.

You've got Karoline Leavitt, who's sick. She's out of control. And I'm not sure whether she's just demented, ignorant, a stone-cold liar, or all of the above, Jeffries said. But the notion that an official White House spokesperson would say that the Democratic Party consists of terrorists, violent criminals, and undocumented immigrants it just makes no sense that this is what the American people are getting from the Trump administration in the middle of a shutdown.

The indictment charges Bolton with eighteen federal crimes: eight related to transmitting sensitive national defense information and ten more for improperly retaining the same. The information at issue contained deadly serious government secrets. Bolton allegedly disclosed to outsiders information about "future attack" plans by foreign adversary groups; details of impending missile launches by foreign adversaries; information about sensitive intelligence sources; and assessments about leaders of foreign countries.

Early Wednesday morning, a 3,000-pound ice sculpture spelling the word "DEMOCRACY" was transported from a New York studio to the National Mall by artists Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese, known as LigoranoReese. To deliver the metaphor, the artists had partnered with Up In Arms, an organization started by Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen, who is known as much for his activism as his ice cream.

Wiener's candidacy has been years in the making. He filed paperwork for a congressional committee in 2023 and has raised more than $1 million. The Standard reports that Wiener's advisers have begun mapping out an aggressive campaign emphasizing his legislative record on housing, public transit, and LGBTQ+ rights. As a state senator, he authored the law making California a "refuge state" for transgender people seeking gender-affirming care banned in other states, a policy that made him a national target of far-right attacks.

Kaine said concerns about war in the Latin American region are growing. "The pace of the announcements, the authorization of covert activities and the military planning makes me think there's some chance this could be imminent," Kaine told reporters. This week, Trump said the U.S. had conducted another military strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean and announced that he had authorized CIA operations in Venezuela. He also said he was considering land operations in the country.

And the Democrat Party, this interview proved that the Democrat party's main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals. (SILENCE FROM JOHN ROBERTS AND SANDRA SMITH) That is who the Democrat Party is catering to. Not the Trump administration and not the White House and not The Republican Party, who is standing up for law abiding Americans, not just across the country, but around the world.

The big picture: The drop in workers could alter the nation's projected demographics and make it difficult to revive manufacturing jobs - or to attract workers in health, agriculture and energy as the population ages. Projected new workers entering the workforce wouldn't fully make up the difference, leading to the net reductions, per the National Foundation for American Policy, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that focuses on trade and immigration.
