FIRE THE INSPECTOR GENERAL AT DHS TODAY! A BLOCK
President Biden and all of us are at risk as long as Joseph Cuffari is in government
Trump is not trying to "bring down the temperature" - he's raising it through proxies like Cuffari
Cuffari has again refused to provide documents about the DHS/Social Security text purges from 1/6/21
and now claims he cannot be removed from his job
Removing a Trump loyalist from Homeland Security is not political vengeance when Trump is the biggest threat TO Homeland Security
Trump lawyer Alina Habba insisted names from the Mar-A-Lago affidavit must be released because they'll leak anyway
Hours later Maggie Haberman of the New York Times leaked the names of two Trump lawyers the FBI interviewed about the documents Trump stole
The Trump premise is: his crap don't stink
This part of the Trump coup poisoned DHS, Secret Service, and the Pentagon
President Biden must stop walking on eggshells about this scandal: it's a massive cover-up and prosecuting it will probably reveal widespread obstruction of justice
No temperatures are being lowered; to the contrary we are the frogs staying in the pot as Trump turns the temperature up. B BLOCK
Good news about Sweetheart in Every Dog Has Its Day
Postscripts To The News: Liz Cheney loses, hints at presidential run
Trump reportedly seeks big-name attorneys but none will work for him. But Alina Habba is still there and she literally can't tell the difference between Judge Reinhold and Judge Reinhart
Florida poll: Demings leads Marco Rubio
After 70 games they give him 72 million
Rodolfo "Flying Phone" Castro gets his punishment
and it's way more than the 2017 Astros got for their unauthorized electronic devices
Which league had higher regular season TV ratings: women's pro basketball or men's soccer?
Senator John Kennedy and Mehmet Oz vie for Worst Persons honors as John Fetterman writes the book for Democratic candidates everywhere. C BLOCK
