President Donald Trump publicly griped over a congressional spending package that includes just a fraction of the money he wanted for border security, arguing that “the rest will be forthcoming.” As part of a massive omnibus spending package on track to be approved, Congress is expected to approve just shy of $1.6 billion for border security, of which only $38 million can be spent on “border barrier planning and design.” Trump had called for $25 billion to build a wall on the border of Mexico, but the bill allocates funds primarily for “pedestrian fencing,” leading Trump to tweet angrily that he had to “waste money” on Democratic “giveaways” to get the bill passed.

    House members are lobbying Speaker Mike Johnson to raise the threshold to trigger the procedure to oust the speaker. However, Johnson announced he would not change the procedure for removing him from the speakership after Republican hardliners reacted with fury to the proposed change of rules. A single member can force a floor vote on the motion to vacate - part of the deal Kevin McCarthy made to become speaker last year.

  • Reform of Colorado courts’ competency system on chopping block at statehouse, supporters say
    Denver Post, Friday - 04/19/2024 - 08:00 AM

If funded, the bill, HB24-1355, would create a statewide diversion program aimed at shifting thousands of people with mental illness out of the criminal justice system and into comprehensive care in a first-of-its-kind effort to slow the flow of people into Colorado’s overcrowded court competency system. The state’s competency process aims to ensure people are not prosecuted for crimes if they are too sick or too disabled to understand the court process.

    Denver Post, Friday - 04/19/2024 - 08:00 AM

    The proposed ban on the sale, transfer and manufacturing of many high-powered, semi-automatic guns in Colorado will face an uphill fight in the state Senate after clearing the House for the first time. The measure, House Bill 1292, would ban guns referred to as “assault” weapons by its Democratic sponsors. It now heads to a Senate committee that includes one of the most vocal gun violence prevention advocates in the state — who happens to be a longtime skeptic of the effectiveness of blanket prohibitions like the one proposed.

    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/19/2024 - 06:44 AM

    Day 3 of the Trump Criminal Trial was quite a chaotic one!!! Started with fireworks about more of Trump's gag order violations, the worst one being a post with a direct quote attacking the jurors. After his post accusing jurors of being "undercover liberal activists", Juror #2 (an oncology nurse that was outed by the incredible amount of detail reported by journalists), decided to leave the jury! Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday broadcast extensive biographical details about Juror No.
