NYPD: Man Who Set Himself on Fire Outside Trump Courthouse is Alive and in Critical Condition

The New York Police Department provided updates on the man who lit himself on fire outside a Manhattan courthouse where former President Donald Trump’s trial is taking place, saying that the man was still alive and in critical condition.

Trump's unhinged rhetoric will continue to inspire nutcases and the courts do nothing. 

Shocking absolutely no one, the insane man who set himself on fire outside Donald Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan today was a Trump supporter who overdosed on conspiracy theories. - AmoneyRes

SHOCKER: Moses Did The Right Thing

The House voted Friday in a bipartisan manner to advance a key foreign aid package, a significant step in sending aid to Ukraine and Israel and setting up a final vote as soon as Saturday.

In an extraordinary move, more Democrats (165) supported the measure than Republicans (151). The Democratic votes were necessary to overcome opposition from Speaker Mike Johnson’s right flank, who will likely only increase their calls to oust him.

I Wonder How Many Jurors Will Be Threatened or Bribed.

A full jury has been selected in former President Trump’s hush money case, setting the stage for opening remarks to begin Monday.  

After nearly 200 prospective jurors were screened by the judge, Trump’s lawyers and Manhattan prosecutors, a total of 12 jurors and six alternates were selected Friday to hear the first criminal case of any former U.S. president.

And The Beat Goes On...

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) declared on Friday that he is backing a motion to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

The motion to vacate the speakership was filed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and recently gained the support of Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) as Johnson is attempting to push through billions in foreign aid in the House.

Just a reminder that, yes, I STILL believe Anita Hill.
