Sean O’Brien. Irish Teamster Head.
This is who Mullin thought he wanted to fight?
Sean came there to kick ass and chew bubblegum.
And he was all out of bubblegum.

I’m curious what Google is experiencing as to increases in searches for “How do I move to another country?” and “How do I get a passport?” Certainly once Trump is reelected information for both will be helpful to many.

Republican Proposes Amendment to Keep Junk Fees for Consumers (msn.com)
Norman: The administration can’t even define what a junk fee is. Maybe my good friend on the left could define what a junk fee.
DeLauro: It’s when you deny people a real return on their investment, but you charge them a fee for doing that. That’s a junk fee. You are paying for junk. Junk advice. Junk assistance…
Norman: I still didn’t hear the definition of a junk fee.
WASHINGTON, DC: Republican Representative Mary Miller from Illinois’ 15th Congressional District ignited a storm with her recent proposal to defund the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Miller introduced an amendment aimed at stripping OSHA of its budget and power due to its association with implementing President Joe Biden’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate, which she deemed “illegal and unconstitutional.”

Why don’t Burchett and McQarthy settle it like men: pull out their guns and blaze away until the dispute is “resolved”? The Republicans took away the metal detectors at the doors to the House, so you know they’re both packing.

“Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to sign a bill that would make it a new state crime for entering Texas illegally and gives law enforcement the power to arrest and order migrants to leave the United States,” CNN reports.
“Democratic House members said the bill oversteps on the federal government’s powers and echoes Arizona’s immigration status provision which opponents dubbed the ‘show me your papers’ law. The law was mostly rejected by the US Supreme Court in 2012 when it upheld that the federal government sets immigration policy and laws.”
