Meadows said National Guard would be ready to 'protect pro Trump people' before Capitol insurrection, House investigators say

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows sent an email saying the National Guard would be present to 'protect pro Trump people' in the lead up to the US Capitol insurrection, according to a new report released by the January 6 committee Sunday night.

Meadows was going to have the National Guard protect the "pro Trump people" against whom? The Capitol Police?

Governor of California Does An End-Around SCOTUS

California Governor Gavin Newsom said he plans to use a controversial U.S. Supreme Court ruling on strict abortion curbs in Texas to design a law that would allow private citizens to sue some gun manufacturers, distributors and sellers.

The Supreme Court on Friday left in effect the Texas law that enables private citizens to sue anyone who performs or assists a woman in getting an abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy.

Newsom survived the recall and decided to make the California GOP regret it every day of their lives. - Santiago Mayer
