On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “At This Hour,” El Paso, TX City Council Representative Claudia Rodriguez stated that even if Title 42 is extended, it’s too late because people are already coming to the border expecting that Title 42 will be lifted later this week, “and even if they get here and Title 42 remains, the people that are going to be then handling a humanitarian crisis are our neighbors in Juarez.” She added that Juarez is also not prepared to deal with the influx of people.
Host Kate Bolduan asked, “If it was even possible, would extending Title 42 be the answer at this point?”

You almost have to hand it to Stacey Abrams. After losing Georgia’s 2018 gubernatorial race to Gov. Brian Kemp, the determined Democrat was still able to raise nearly 100 million dollars — eight million more than Kemp — which she blew through like a champ, by the way. And of course, she lost. Again. To Kemp. According to leftist Axios (which pretends its an unbiased news outlet), after raising all that cash, losing the election — which she actually conceded, this time, as opposed to her first loss to Kemp in 2018 — the Abram campaign still owes more than one million dollars to vendors, as confirmed by

Los Angeles - Harvey Weinstein was found guilty Monday of one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault but acquitted of a count of sexual battery after a trial in Los Angeles, nearly three years after the disgraced movie mogul was convicted at a watershed sex crimes trial in New York City.
The jury of four women and eight men was hung on three other counts against him. They deliberated for nine days.
Weinstein, 70, pleaded not guilty in both trials and denies all allegations of nonconsensual sex. He is serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York, where he was found guilty in February 2020 of two felonies

Hoo boy. If Michael Shellenberger‘s latest tranche from the Twitter Files gets corroborated, the FBI didn’t just target speech on social-media platforms in a presidential election. The files released today suggests that the FBI acted to preemptively suppress an accurate news report even before it got published — with no actual evidence that it was part of an intelligence operation. Before we go much further, let’s ask ourselves this question: what the hell is the FBI doing in these transactions at all? They do have authority over domestic counter-intelligence, but that doesn’t give them carte blanche to surveil domestic communications, let alone control them

The January 6 committee on Monday referred former president Donald Trump to the Department of Justice for prosecution on four charges related to his conduct leading up to and during the riot that occurred in the Capitol in the wake of his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.
The referrals include obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the U.S., making a false statement, and inciting an insurrection, the last of which could disqualify Trump from holding public office in the future.
Trump attempted to “disrupt the peaceful transition of power” in a grave betrayal of duty as outlined in the “take care” clause of the Constitution and in a “crime

Independent writer Michael Shellenberger released part 7 of the "Twitter Files" on Monday, delving into how the FBI and intelligence community "discredited factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings."
Elon Musk had been vocal about being transparent when it comes to Twitter's past and present actions curating content on the platform, including censored content. The Twitter owner has enlisted independent journalists to slowly release evidence of these actions in a series dubbed the "Twitter Files" that continue to expose once-secret communications.
"In Twitter Files #6, we saw the FBI relentlessly seek to exercise influence over Twitter, including over its content, its users, and its data,"

Washington - U.S. lawmakers, both Republicans and Democrats, on Sunday pressed Democratic President Joe Biden to take action to manage an expected wave of asylum seekers at America's southern border when COVID-era restrictions are set to end this week.
U.S. border cities are bracing for an influx of asylum seekers after a U.S. judge in November moved to strike down a policy enacted by the Trump administration in 2020 that has allowed migration authorities to rapidly send asylum seekers back to Mexico and other countries. The policy, known as Title 42, is due to end on Dec. 21, and thousands of asylum seekers have been lining up

Oscar Leeser, the Democratic mayor of El Paso, has bent over backward not to “embarrass” the head of his party, President Joe Biden.
As migrants poured across the border, unmetered and unvetted, he quietly grappled with the strain on the city’s resources. He provided the shelter and food the federal government wouldn’t. He struck private deals with Mayor Eric Adams to alleviate the crush, busing some people to New York. Even as the City Council begged him to point out what was happening, he refused. He insisted he’d been told by the Biden administration that if he was patient, they would help. This went on for months.

Washington - The House Jan. 6 committee met Sunday to finalize its plans to issue at least three criminal referrals for former President Donald Trump, NBC News has learned exclusively.
The committee, gathering publicly Monday, is expected to vote on referrals asking the Justice Department to pursue at least three criminal charges against Trump related to the Capitol riot: obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the government and inciting or assisting an insurrection. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said in part during the meeting overheard by NBC News that he believed referrals were “warranted.” A source familiar with the committee’s plans told NBC News about the meeting and its location

One day we get a poll that shows Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) beating former President Trump in a potential 2024 GOP primary by 23 points or 14 points, or five points. The next day we get a poll that shows Trump beating DeSantis by 18 points.
Some of the individual states look good for Trump. Some look good for DeSantis. What does this tell us?
Nothing.
The campaign has not begun. Trump just announced his intent to run for reelection in 2024.
DeSantis just won a jaw-dropping reelection campaign in what used to be a vital swing state. But DeSantis has not yet announced his decision on a presidential bid. Until

The most recent edition of the 'Twitter Files' reveals that FBI officials demanded execs for the social media giant to give them information about how they were enforcing safety online.
Journalist Matt Taibbi, who released the first batch of internal files about the Hunter saga earlier in December, posted emails showing the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force wanted info about state-run media's use of the site. Taibbi dubbed this release 'Twitter Files Supplemental' and seemed to wonder why the agency was unsatisfied with the idea that it 'had not observed much recent activity from official propaganda actors.'
