House Republicans cleared the way for consideration of a key spy power sought by President Donald Trump — as well as the farm bill and the blueprint for funding immigration enforcement agencies that remain shuttered amid the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown. It’s a major victory for Speaker Mike Johnson, whose chamber has been in a state of paralysis as lawmakers worked through Monday night and all Tuesday to reach an agreement with hard-liners to advance the three legislative priorities. Lawmakers adopted the procedural measure Wednesday, 216-210, after fierce opposition from several members of the GOP conference over various…

Tuesday on MS NOW’s “Deadline,” Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) said President Donald Trump was “guilty of inciting violence.” Pritzker said, “Let’s start with what Donald Trump is really after here: weaponizing the DOJ to go after his political enemies. As you know, this indictment is not the first indictment that they’ve gone after Comey.” He continued, “The picture of 86 47, that was the what they’re using as the evidence that Comey is threatening the life of the president. 86 47 he posted it, even pulled it down because he thought it might be rude or improper to put it…

The U.S. Supreme Court will review on Wednesday President Donald Trump’s decision to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) quasi-amnesty awarded to Haitian migrants by former President Joe Biden. The amnesty covers roughly 330,000 Haitians who either sneaked across the border or were allowed to enter despite their “inadmissible” status. Trump’s deputies say Congress’s law grants the President complete authority to award or end the TPS legal status, which grants work permits to migrants. One potential complication is that swing-voting Justice Amy Coney Barrett has adopted two children from Haiti. Pro-migration groups say the poor migrants need protection from their…

Tuesday on CNN’s “OutFront,” former White House special counsel Ty Cobb said the indictment on two felony charges related to an Instagram post by former FBI Director James Comey will be “thrown out.” Host Erin Burnett said, “Ty, you’ve read the whole indictment coming about a year after the initial post of those seashells.

You know it’s a document that really isn’t worth anything other than the PR that the president is trying to get to intimidate Comey and others who might speak out…
