YOU'RE FIRED: GOP representatives move to defund Jack Smith’s salary.

It's a good starting point, but why stop there?
THE BILL COMES DUE FOR BLUE SANCTUARY CITIES: “If we don’t get the support we need, New Yorkers could be left with a $12 billion bill” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. According to The New York Times, over 100,000 illegal immigrants have arrived in New York City since the spring of 2022.

INSTAPUNDIT ON SUBSTACK: Vivek Ramaswamy channels Robert Heinlein, and me.

Me, too. He now appears to be #2, besting Ron DeSantis by one point, 11% to 10%.

PRE- AND POST-BIDEN: Falling institutional trust.
