Missouri US Sen. Josh Hawley was the only Republican senator to vote last week for lower bank fees, siding with Democrats in opposing the removal of a $5 cap on overdraft fees, according to The St. Louis Post-Dispatch on March 31.
It seems behind all his history of hateful decisions and attacks on the less fortunate, there’s a glimmer of a backbone for the average citizen.
The Senate voted to overturn the rule 52 to 48.
It’s easy to stand against your party when you know they’re going to win anyway.
Elon Musk is pouring money into key elections across the country in support of Republican and conservative candidates, while at the same time complaining about the influence of fellow billionaire George Soros, according to The Independent on March 31.
There’s nothing quite like the pot calling the kettle black.
Nearly 200 boxes of LEGO sets and other stolen merchandise were recovered after a man was arrested Thursday in connection with a burglary at a Castro Valley comic book store, according to the San Francisco Chronicle on March 31.
“We’re glad to have apprehended the suspect but it wasn’t easy,” said one of the arresting officers. “He had the place booby-trapped. Thank goodness we had our boots on or else all the LEGO pieces covering the floor could have taken one of the officers out.”
Republican Congressmen Andrew Clyde, of Georgia, and Andy Ogles, of Tennessee, filed separate resolutions in the House of Representatives seeking to remove US District Judges John “Jack” McConnell Jr. in Rhode Island and Theodore Chuang in Maryland from office, according to The Boston Globe on March 25.
These resolutions come after the judges blocked President Trump’s funding freezes and the shutdown of the US Agency for International Development by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, respectively.
Even US Chief Justice John Roberts has disagreed about the decision to pursue impeachments against the judges.
Clyde and Ogles must have been the kids on the playground who when tagged during recess decided they weren’t playing anymore, the rules only applying when it worked in their favor.
President Trump criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin and threatened Russia with new tariffs as he barrels toward his April 2 deadline, according to CNN on March 30.
Hasn’t the president ever heard you’re not supposed to bite the hand that feeds you?
Trump has teased, stoked, nurtured, fed and, if nothing else, kept alive the improbable notion that he might run and serve one more time, according to NBC News on March 31.
Are we really meant to be surprised that a man who stoked an insurrection in the Capitol to try and prevent a legitimate transition of power wants to bypass the Constitution?
Investor Kevin O’Leary said he hasn’t seen any “recessionary trends” from President Trump’s tariff plan yet, according to The Hill on March 31.
Clearly O’Leary has his eyes closed.
Civil rights advocates, historians and Black political leaders sharply rebuked Trump on Friday for his order, entitled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” They argued that his executive order targeting the Smithsonian Institution is his administration’s latest move to downplay how race, racism and Black Americans themselves have shaped the nation’s story, according to Politico on March 30.
I would take this one step further and say this is not just the current administration’s way of downplaying racism, but its way of promoting racism.
