Dear God, I'm So Old I Remember Republicans Naming Everything They Could After Reagan

Donald Trump on the $500 bill. A Congressional gold medal. An international airport.

It’s the Summer of Trump in the House of Representatives, where Republican lawmakers have flooded the chamber with bills and resolutions honoring the former president, convicted felon and 2024 GOP frontrunner.

These largely symbolic gestures are a way to get noticed by the Republican powerhouse, who can make or break politicians with his endorsements, according to a former member of Congress.

Florida House Bill 433, which DeSantis signed into law in April, prohibits local governments from requiring shade or water breaks for outdoor workers, or even giving preference to employers based on their heat exposure requirements.

Supreme Court strikes down Trump-era federal ban on bump stocks

Supreme Court strikes down Trump-era federal ban on bump stocks
The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that a "bump stock" attachment does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a "machine gun," which is prohibited under federal law. The 6-3 vote aligned with the conservative supermajority's previous decisions in gun cases, such as its 2022 decision to expand gun rights.

The information was obtained through documents and information that Crow delivered to the committee dating back seven years.
