FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly showed up in New Zealand this summer with diplomatic pleasantries and a handful of plastic guns that authorities rushed to get rid of because of an explosion risk.

Firearms specialists concluded that Patel’s 3D-printed revolvers met the legal definition of actual firearms under New Zealand law.

Should have happened after Schumer cave during Trump's first 100 days. But better late than never!
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.
