A Senate hearing on Wednesday stalled out for a moment as Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) clashed over the legality of nationwide injunctions filed by judges against President Donald Trump and his agenda. At a Senate hearing focused on “exploring legislative solutions to the bipartisan problem of universal injunctions,” multiple colleagues tried coming in between Cruz and Klobuchar. Cruz claimed at Wednesday’s hearing that injunctions imposed on pieces of Trump’s agenda, limiting executive action based on current law, are an “abuse of power” and politically motivated. Klobuchar defended actions taken by judges, accusing the president of violating the Constitution. “The only reason there’s all of these injunctions, Sen. Cruz,” Klobuchar said during her committee time, following Cruz, “is because he’s violating the Constitution. Why would Trump appoint judges who —” “Why don’t you file them in red districts?” Cruz asked. “Sen. Cruz,” Sen. Ashley Moody… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago - Biden Super-Loyalist Ron Klain Stabs Him in the Back: Couldn’t Even ‘Grasp’ Trump’s Argument...
AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta Ron Klain, the Democratic political operative who served as President Joe Biden’s chief of staff during the first half of his term in the Oval Office, went on the record to stab his old boss in the back in a new book. Klain told Craig Whipple, the author of the forthcoming Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History that he was unsettled by Biden’s condition before, during, and after his disastrous debate with Donald Trump last summer. From The Guardian‘s write-up of Klain’s role in Uncharted: According to Klain, it turned out that Biden “didn’t know what Trump had been saying and couldn’t grasp what the back and forth was”; left preparation and fell asleep by the pool; obsessed about foreign leaders, saying “these guys say I’m doing a great job as president so I must be a great president”; “didn’t… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago - ‘Wait’: Trump Raises Eyebrows With Odd Claim He Wants to Slap Tariffs on Canadian Fentanyl
GDA via AP Images President Donald Trump caused a great deal of confusion online Wednesday when he appeared to argue he intends to impose tariffs on fentanyl crossing the U.S.-Canada border. As Trump has continually threatened the country and key U.S. trading partner with heavy tariffs, one of his most frequent criticisms has centered on the smuggling of fentanyl into the country. The president has even demanded that Canada improve its border security to limit the amount of drugs coming into the U.S. Although Trump has been especially hard on Canada, data suggest that his frustrations may be misguided. According to a Wednesday report from The Globe and Mail, “In fiscal [year] 2024, the data show that 99.87 per cent of the fentanyl they recovered was linked to either Mexico or the United States, or had unknown origins. Fentanyl identified as coming from Canada amounted to 0.74 pounds – or… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago - Trump Education Secretary Crashes House Democrats’ Protest For Civil Exchange, But Dodges On Key Q...Education Secretary Linda McMahon joined House Democrats outside her department headquarters on Wednesday as Democrats spoke to the media and protested the Trump administration’s moves to shutter the Education Department. “And they do not have a plan. So they are de facto restructuring this entity along a corporate model without a plan and without an effort to really protect our students,” began Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM), adding: So we wanna be clear about that. I wanna say one other thing, the mood in the room, it was very collegial. We are extraordinarily grateful to the secretary that she joined us, thank you. She’s here, perhaps I should give her the podium. We’re extraordinarily grateful that the secretary gave us the space to have these conversations. But with all due respect, madam, I think my biggest concern is that the states will not be able to protect the programs… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago
- Stephen A. Smith Dunks On Gavin Newsom’s 2028 Chances, Jabs Governor For Avoiding His Show: ‘Sti...Stephen A. Smith dunked on California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) chances at a successful 2028 campaign while also jabbing the governor for avoiding his podcast. On The Stephen A. Smith Show, Smith dismissed Newsom winning in 2028 for Democrats as unlikely because of issues in California like the cost of living, homelessness, and crime. Newsom’s name has been thrown around in discussions about 2028 as he’s launched a new podcast, This Is Gavin Newsom, where the governor has spoken to right-wing figures like Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk and been willing to criticize his own party. He’s even distanced himself from some in his party on issues like transgender athletes and the term “Latinx” — which he has previously used. Smith himself has discussed his own name being thrown into some polls as a possible Democratic Party contender for 2028. The sports commentator has argued his name has… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.11 hours ago
