In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room.
Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

There’s a reason academics universally rejected the initial push to canonize Charlie Kirk as a saint devoted to free speech.

We know all too well that’s the exact opposite of reality.

The Supreme Court released a number of consequential decisions today, but a hidden provision in the court’s decisions could have serious repercussions for democracy. Specifically, in the court’s decision on the use of nation wide injunctions to halt Trump’s unconstitutional attack on birthright citizenship, the court suggests that the judiciary branch lacks the power to stop the President from violating the law. This precedent could have serious ramifications and may effectively lay the groundwork for a de facto Presidential dictatorship. #news #politics #lawyerView all 2,946 comments
