Trump Trip Gives Gop A Breather

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and GOP lawmakers were heckled by protesters at George Washington University, where they toured the pro-Palestinian encampment that still stands despite repeated calls from the university for its removal.

It’s been more than 50 years since Columbia University became the site of student demonstrations amid unrest over the Vietnam War, but the spirit of protest on campus remains strong. Late Tuesday night, dozens of protestors sieged Hamilton Hall—the iconic site of numerous student occupations over the course of history—and unfurled a banner to reveal the building’s new name by protestors: “Hind’s Hall.” The designation was in honor of six-year-old Hind Rajab, who was killed by Israeli troops in Gaza.

A bill aimed at barring landlords from using algorithms to set rents died in the Colorado Senate on Wednesday after a group of moderate Democrats joined Republicans to reject a more forceful House version of the measure. The crux of the disagreement was an adopted amendment that bill backers charged had been written by a software company fighting the bill. “I’m grateful for my colleagues who sided with renters, but ultimately too many Democrats sided with a corporation under investigation for price fixing against Coloradans who are feeling the worst of the housing crisis,” said Sen.

Judging just by the look on Trump's face, he's as puzzled by this one as the rest of us. If I had to guess, I'd say it was Tyra Banks or maybe Chrissy Teigen. Or perhaps another porn star that Trump slept with while Melania was pregnant. Some very clever satire here, as that is Gary Petersen but is a reworked picture from another Trump artist, Al Manica.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton claimed that it is legitimate to attempt to prosecute Barack Obama over his acts as President if Trump's bizarre immunity claim fails at the Supreme Court. Another day and another effort to defend Donald Trump from any and all prosecutions and criminal acts. Q: Attorney General Paxton, on the off chance that the Supreme Court comes back and does not say presidents are immune from official acts, do you think your administration would pursue charges against, say, Barack Obama for the drone strikes and murdering of three American citizens? Paxton: Yeah, so every state's different.
