Gabrielle Giffords To Push For Background Checks On Capitol Hill

Absolutely horrific footage coming out of Manhattan where a man apparently self-immolated (set himself on fire) in the Trump supporter area right outside of the courthouse. This act occurred immediately after the full 18 person jury was officially seated, although it is unclear if this is related to Trump or some other protestor maybe mental illness. In the above video, Laura Coates from CNN does an absolutely incredible job relaying to viewers what she is seeing and hearing in the moment.

He rifled through a stack of article clips that praised him. At one point on Friday, Sleepy Joe Trump fell asleep in court again.

Thanks to a bombshell footnote in a document from Donald Trump’s New York fraud case, the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has just filed a criminal complaint to the FBI and the Department of Justice about a fake $50 million loan Trump has repeatedly “disclosed.” The fraud-case footnote reported that the loan did not exist.

The Republican Party’s attempted impeachment fiasco and beleaguered House Speaker Mike Johnson were the subjects of late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert’s opening monologue Wednesday night. Colbert observed that while the House Republicans targeting Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “never identified a specific high crime or misdemeanor for the impeachment, which is usually kind of a thing,” the event was still historic. It's only the second time in America that a Cabinet member has been impeached.
