Citizens Against Government Waste, a nonprofit, has published its annual “Congressional Pig Book,” and it’s a doozy.
Published annually since 1991, the “Congressional Big Book” contains a compilation of all the wasteful “pork-barrel” projects in the federal budget pursued by both Democrats and Republicans. [Tweet]
Covering last year’s budget, this year’s book reportedly contains 8,222 earmarks costing a whopping $22.7 billion.
Of the legislators who pursued earmarks, Rep. Susan Collins, a Republican, pursued the most.
“Her 231 earmarks cost $575,580,000, which is $109,429,721, or 23.5 percent more than the legislator in second place, Senate Appropriations Committee member Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who received 185 earmarks costing $466,370,279,” the book reads.
The U.S. House of Representatives has recently passed an amendment as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025.
The amendment H.R. 8070 will automatically register all draft-age male U.S. residents with the Selective Service System for a possible military draft, based on information from other Federal databases.
This new system of automatic draft registration would replace the existing system, in place since 1980, in which young men have the freedom to decide whether or not to sign up for the draft.
According to People’s World, the automatic draft registration proposal was initiated by the Selective Service System (SSS) as part of its annual budget request to Congress.
The mental acuity of the joke that currently occupies the Bully Pulpit arose in February, when special counsel Robert Hur released his report concerning Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents. Hur’s investigation found that Biden had, on numerous occasions, illegally mishandled classified documents. Furthermore, “during his [Biden’s] interview with Hur, the special counsel wrote that the president was confused about the timeline of events and was unable to ascertain questions about his time as vice president.”
It continued in March, with Brit Hume saying, “I was saying back when it was not at all fashionable to say it, that he [Biden] is senile.
The Democratic Party is doomed after recent polls found that not only are voters losing hope in President Joe Biden, but Vice President Kamala Harris’s popularity is also on the chopping block. A Politico-Morning Consult poll found that Harris has a net disapproval rating of 52-42 percent with the majority doubting that she would even have a chance to win the presidency if she were the Democratic nominee.
Just three in five Democrat voters said they would vote for the vice president, with only 25 percent of independent voters saying they would cast their ballot for her.

refused to prosecute replies
Washington— Speaker Mike Johnson said Friday that the House will go to court to enforce the subpoena against Attorney General Merrick Garland for access to President Joe Biden’s special counsel audio interview, hours after the Justice Department refused to prosecute Republicans’ contempt of Congress charge.
“It is sadly predictable that the Biden Administration’s Justice Department will not prosecute Garland for defying congressional subpoenas even though the department aggressively prosecuted Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for the same thing,” Johnson said in a statement. “This is yet another example of the two-tiered system of justice brought to us by the Biden Administration.”
Former President Donald Trump turned 78 on Friday, and the establishment media are already hyping his age, claiming he is showing signs of aging, like President Joe Biden, who turned 81 in November.
Matthew Foster, a professorial lecturer at American University, told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that Trump has a “drunken uncle vibe.” Foster’s comment comes as several polls have shown that voters are concerned about Biden’s age. “He’s giving off the old, drunken uncle vibe at times when he is giving these speeches, and this might be a sign of age, that you become less able to control all of your impulses,” Foster told the outlet.

Hunter Biden has been accused of owning 10 percent of a company that’s been facilitating illegal migration across the southern U.S. border.
The accusation was made by former Trump administration official Mike Benz, who now serves as the director of the Foundation for Freedom Online.
“Hunter Biden actually owns 10 percent of a company called ePlata, which is a microfinancing loan company for illegal immigrants coming up through the southern border,” he said in a recent viral video.
“At the same time, the Biden Administration Justice Department put out a notice telling the banks that they would, that the Justice Department would take legal action
A Southwest Airlines flight traveling from Phoenix, Arizona, to Oakland, California, experienced a rare “Dutch roll” at 32,000 feet, causing “significant damage” to the Boeing aircraft.
Southwest Flight 746 was in the air on May 25 “when its tail began to wag left and right, causing the plane’s wings to rock from side to side,” the New York Post reported.
As the Boeing 737 experienced side-to-side and see-sawing motions simultaneously, it sustained “substantial” damage but was able to complete the flight, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The damage was not discovered until a “post-flight inspection,” USA Today reported.
No injuries were reported by any flight crew or passengers.
Left-wing radio host Dean Obeidallah said Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the Republican Party is a “fascist movement” that will use violence to acquire power.
Obeidallah said, “Apparently, yesterday was bring a terrorist to work day because that’s the reality. What so angers me is that January 6 was an act of domestic terrorism. That’s what Christopher Wray, the FBI director, testified before the House and Senate. Those Republicans know, Ted Cruz even leaked out one saying it was an act of terrorism. Then, he had to apologize for telling the truth. They welcomed a terrorist to the Capitol yesterday.
The Palace provided a health update on Princess Kate on Friday.
Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, will return to public life amid her battle with cancer.
The princess released a statement on Friday:
I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months. It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times.
I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting.
The Los Angeles City Council has decided to remove ‘No U-Turn’ signs from a gay neighborhood, claiming they’re homophobic.
In an era where ideologies should be advancing, it’s baffling that the far-left remains stuck in the past, misreading everyday symbols as politicized messages.
Who, in the year 2024, still believes that road signs like “No U-Turn” are covert directives aimed at the LGBTQ+ community, instructing them not to engage in wild sex in the streets?
I didn’t know that traffic signs were hurting feelings.
According to the LA Times:
Messages like, “No cruising. No U-turns. Midnight to 6 am” were posted around the neighborhood in 1997,
Archaeologists at Founding Father George Washington’s former residence have made a fascinating discovery.
According to Mount Vernon’s website, archaeologists made an “unprecedented discovery” of pre-Revolutionary War artifacts including 35 bottles of perfectly preserved cherries and berries.
The museum said in a press release:
Archaeologists at George Washington’s Mount Vernon have unearthed an astounding 35 glass bottles from the 18th century in five storage pits in the Mansion cellar of the nation’s first president. Of the 35 bottles, 29 are intact and contain perfectly preserved cherries and berries, likely gooseberries or currants. The contents of each bottle have been carefully extracted, are under refrigeration at Mount Vernon, and will undergo scientific analysis.
The FBI has arrested an Arizona man on multiple gun and hate crime charges after he allegedly plotted a mass shooting at a rap concert in Georgia “to incite a race war prior to the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.”
Mark Alan Prieto, 58, a supposed right-winger reportedly revealed his plans to an FBI informant who “spoke with him more than a dozen times over three years at various gun shows.” He allegedly tried to recruit the informant and another undercover agent to stage the attack at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 opinion against three illegal aliens fighting their deportation orders from the United States, claiming they did not receive proper notice of their removal hearings in federal immigration court.
When illegal aliens Esmelis Campos-Chaves, Varinder Singh, and Raul Daniel Mendez-Colín failed to appear before federal immigration judges, they were ordered deported in absentia. In each case, the Department of Justice (DOJ) sent initial Notices to Appear (NTA) in immigration court that did not specify the time and place of the hearings.
When I said in 2020 that House Republican representatives were generally focused on who gets the larger pieces of the cake during the office birthday party, many people just couldn’t fathom it.
With all the crisis, corruption, manipulation of government institutions, DOJ/FBI targeting and jaw-dropping weaponization that was stunningly evident, a large number of readers could not bring themselves to realize almost all House Republicans just didn’t care. Fortunately, a lot more awakening has happened in the past four years, and I think people are now more willing to accept the reality of just how bad it is in Republican ranks.
The Biden camp is in full-blown panic mode after a video of Biden wandering away from the G7 group went viral.
The Democrat-media complex is going into full damage control to protect Joe Biden.
The left-wing media claimed conservative media sites shared a viral clip of Biden without context.
The longer video clip of doddering Joe is even more horrifying.
WATCH: [Tweet, video]
Biden campaign spox Adrienne Elrod called the viral video of Joe Biden wandering off “disinformation” and demanded “social media platforms” censor it.
Of course, Joe Biden wants to censor and silence conservative media.
Democrats plan to disrupt Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a special joint session of Congress on July 24 in an unprecedented show of hostility to the democratically-elected leader of a close American ally.
56 Democrats boycotted Netanyahu’s speech in 2015, when Republicans invited him to argue against then-President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. This time, Axios reports, “Democrats plan to go bigger than a boycott”:
The proposals include a press conference, a vigil, or an event with families of those taken hostage by Hamas, many of whom feel Netanyahu hasn’t done enough to free their loved ones.
In a sign of how extensive and high-level some of these discussions are,
It's a day ending in Y, so that means that the pro-Hamas agitators who seemingly never have a job to get to, kids to shuttle to/from school, or any type of time or money obligations are busy harassing Americans who are trying to go about their daily business. On Friday, agitators from "If Not Now" chose to trek to the Capitol office of Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA). They didn't get a welcome reception, to say the least.
Former President Trump is making a special 78th birthday appearance for fans in his “Club 47” group at a venue near his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Fla.
Congressional Republicans feted the party’s presumptive presidential nominee on Thursday during Trump’s first post-Jan. 6, 2021, visit to the Capitol.
Should Trump return to the White House, he would be on track to edge out President Biden as the Oval Office’s oldest occupant by the end of his second administration.
The event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. EDT.
Watch the live video above.
President Biden has repeatedly told the American public he's going to build 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2030—and he even signed the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, which allocated a whopping $7.5 billion toward the effort. (And people ask, why is inflation so high?)
However, like many of Joe’s initiatives, it isn't working out so well.
Transportation Secretary “Mayor Pete” had a variety of excuses, telling CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan in late May that, “Now, in order to do a charger, it's more than just plugging a small device into the ground." Thanks for the primer, Pete. He continued: "There's utility work,

Sen. John Fetterman’s unsafe driving habits are so alarming that some of his staffers are afraid to get in a car with him when he’s behind the wheel, according to a report. The Pennsylvania Democrat was cited for extreme speeding at least twice before he plowed into the back of a 62-year-old woman’s vehicle on Sunday, an accident that sent him, his wife Gisele and other driver to the hospital, the Washington Post reported on Thursday. Fetterman, 54, has also been known to FaceTime and text while driving, behavior that has prompted his staff to implement “an informal practice” of
First Lady Jill Biden is arguing in favor of her husband’s old age while on the campaign trail, telling voters that President Joe Biden is a “healthy, wise 81-year-old” and that “age is a gift.”
“This isn’t just about stopping an extremist, and this election is most certainly not about age,” Dr. Jill Biden said Thursday at a Green Bay, Wisconsin, event, CNN reported. “Joe and that other guy are essentially the same age. Let’s not be fooled. But what this election is about, it’s about the character of the person leading our country.”
As the first lady stops in Wisconsin, Minnesota, California, Nevada, and Arizona, she is rolling out
Nancy Pelosi is losing it.
The former Democrat Speaker of the House is the walking personification of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Her hatred for the former (and likely next) president burns white-hot, as evidenced by her petulant, childish, immature, and unbecoming incident in which she tore up her copy of President Trump's 2020 State of the Union speech. Now, she's just becoming pathetic, as we see in her recent interview with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, where she begged the Trump family and the GOP to "stage an intervention" to prevent Trump from running. Why? Probably because she can see that he's winning.
Dr. Peter Navarro granted an exclusive interview to the Daily Caller from the Federal Correctional Institution of Miami, where he is serving out a sentence for contempt of Congress – a term he and his allies have called a political imprisonment.
“Lawfare is real. Lawfare is wrong … We’re not supposed to act like Communist China or a Banana Republic. But that’s the growing perception of our justice system,” Navarro told the Caller.Navarro served as Director of the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy from 2017 to 2021. He is set to be released from prison on July 17, at which point he plans to debut his new book,
A newly released video showed Joe Biden becoming severely triggered while being questioned by a reporter during an "influencer" event at the White House. Independent journalist Jonathan M. Katz, who has a sizable social media following, confronted the president with his phone in hand, asking about civilian deaths in Gaza. Biden was none too pleased. He snapped and attempted to make some kind of threat involving throwing Katz's phone. It's hard to tell what his intention was because his senility got in the way and he completely flubbed what he was trying to say. (X Video)
With President Biden arguing that former President Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan decided it would be a good idea to try to help make that case. On Friday’s CNN News Central, O’Sullivan was seen on the road with Trump voters, where he was aghast at the idea that they view America as a republic, not a democracy.
In one clip, O’Sullivan was speaking to a couple when he declared, “Obviously, there's a lot of criticisms of Trump that he is bad for democracy. That he's bad for American democracy.”
A woman interrupted him to assert, “Can I say something? We are a republic. We’re not a democracy,”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he had a “positive meeting” with former President Donald Trump on Thursday after Trump traveled to Capitol Hill to talk with Republican lawmakers.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee praised the GOP Senate leader during his comments at the D.C. meeting, POLITICO reported.
“We had a really positive meeting, he and I got a chance to talk a little bit, we shook hands a few times, he got a lot of standing ovations, it was an entirely positive meeting. Mitt Romney was there, as well, and I can’t think of anything to tell you about it that was negative,” McConnell said.
On Wednesday, three judges with the First District Court of Appeal for the State of Florida ruled that Plaintiff Zachary Young had sufficiently provided enough evidence to the court that they could proceed with his defamation suit against CNN for punitive damages. The network allegedly, knowingly lied about his security consulting company and their work amid President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Jake Tapper, one of CNN’s presidential debate moderators was one of the journalists at the center of it all.

The head actuaries for Social Security and Medicare have testified before a House committee about looming financial challenges which could see funds run short by 2035.
Social Security relies on its trust funds to provide monthly benefit checks to around 70 million Americans.
But an aging population is pushing up the cost of the program as a smaller share of people are paying into it, and spending is outpacing income.
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) It's been a while (OK, 4 1/2 months) since we last shared a "Why in the hell are we still in the United Nations?" moment. We have all been thinking it for a very long time and I think it's important to revisit the classics, so here we are.
The list of reasons to intensely dislike the UN is a lengthy read. Its chumminess with terrorists is at the top of mine.
When we last were discussing the UN, it was regarding allegations that some of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) employees were giving Hamas a helping
The Justice Department said Friday it will not prosecute Merrick Garland on contempt-of-Congress charges, two days after House Republicans voted to hold the attorney general in contempt for refusing to turn over the audio from President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur.
The DOJ said Friday the refusal to provide the audio did not amount to a crime.
House lawmakers voted 216–207 on the Garland contempt resolution on Wednesday, with one Republican representative, Dave Joyce of Ohio, joining Democrats in voting against it. Eight members did not vote on the measure.
A brutal Venezuelan sex-trafficking gang is now in America's biggest cities.
Chinese organized crime syndicates running drug farms with slave labor in half a dozen US states.
And Mexican drug cartels are operating vile human smuggling operations over the southern border with near impunity.
On Tuesday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehended eight alleged ISIS operatives in Los Angeles, New York City and Philadelphia.
The thread tying all of these imminent public safety and national security threats together is a runway illegal immigration crisis exposing America to an invasion of 'ghost' criminals, paramilitary foot soldiers and potential terrorists.
Fortunately, Friday is Joe Biden's last day in Italy for the G7, so the time that he can embarrass us overseas at the conference is thankfully coming to an end. We've seen him wandering and people having to help redirect him back to where he was supposed to be going. We've seen him giving garbled answers and snapping at a reporter because the reporter dared to ask him a question at his presser that wasn't about Ukraine. That managed to get a reaction out of the White House Correspondents Association. They threw Biden under the bus in their statement, saying there were no "deals" as he claimed.
The reaction to the rescue of four Israeli hostages from Gaza is a microcosm of the past 70 years of this conflict. Every time Palestinians pay the price for acting out in some horrific, irrational, self-destructive, violent way, their defenders want to rewind history to a more convenient moment -- this time to Oct. 6, 2023.
Sorry, that's not how life works. Hamas, the chosen political entity of Gaza -- the overwhelming choice of Palestinian civilians, in fact -- launched this round of the conflict by massacring, sexually torturing and kidnapping Israelis whose only sin was attending a music festival.
The far-left fascists at CNN are looking to intimidate Ticketmaster into blacklisting Tucker Carlson’s upcoming arena tour.
This week, the former Fox News anchor announced a 15-city speaking tour in the run-up to the upcoming presidential election. Carlson, who expanded his Fox audience after creating the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN) and moving to Xwitter, will launch the tour on September 4 in Phoenix, Arizona, with Russell Brand as a special guest.“The one thing we know for certain is the United States is going to be one intense place this fall,” Carlson said
DETROIT, Michigan — Black conservatives gathered in Detroit, Michigan, on Thursday evening ahead of former President Donald Trump’s speech at Turning Point Action’s The People’s Convention.
A BLEXIT event, featuring its founders Candace Owens and Brandon Tatum as keynote speakers, took place on Thursday evening in Detroit, where black conservatives gathered to hear from conservative thought leaders, including Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
The event kicked off with singer-songwriter Raquita Harper performing the National Anthem while attendees stood with their hands over their hearts.
The Environmental Integrity Project just published the results of a new study, which reportedly found that the “biofuel” industry pollutes the air just as much as, and oftentimes more than traditional oil refineries, putting out a “significantly” higher amount of particular “dangerous pollutants” not limited to but including, formaldehyde.
Isn’t that just swell, “they’re” giving us cancer while embalming us in real time—yes, this is the “clean” and “green” future under “their” tutelage. Here are the details, from a new report by Ari Phillips of Oil & Gas Watch, the online publication for the EIP, out just yesterday:
Report: Jet-powered biofuel is weighed down by pollution and loopholes
Joe Biden avoided facing charges of mishandling classified information because Special Counsel Robert Hur determined that a jury would see him as an "elderly man with a poor memory" who lacked the "mental state of willfulness.” However, there was an unresolved issue regarding Biden's ghostwriter, to whom Biden disclosed classified information while working on his memoir. According to the Hur report, "after learning of the special counsel's appointment in this matter, Mr. Biden's ghostwriter deleted audio recordings he had created of his discussions with Mr. Biden during the writing of Mr. Biden's 2017 memoir"; however, Hur decided not to charge him with obstruction of justice. Joe Biden's ghostwriter has now admitted that he deleted those recordings from his interviews with Joe Biden partly so Hur's team could not use them in the investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents.
In an explosive revelation, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) disclosed a meticulously detailed timeline during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, casting a glaring spotlight on a concerted effort between the Biden regime and key prosecutors to undermine former President Donald Trump.
The committee convened on Thursday to dissect the political motivations behind Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s legal actions against Trump.
Per the House Judiciary Committee’s webpage:
“On April 4, 2023, after campaigning on his experience in investigating President Trump and in response to intense pressure from left-wing activists, Bragg charged President Trump with 34 felony counts for falsifying business records. Falsifying business records is ordinarily a misdemeanor

Secret Service on Location of 'Protest
Zone' at GOP Convention replies
After months of wrangling with the Secret Service and the city of Milwaukee over the "protest zone" location for the GOP Convention, Republicans appear to have won some major concessions that would move the protesters farther away from Fiserv Forum.
The original location for the "protest zone" would have been Pere Marquette Park, which is located about 1/3 of a mile from the front door of the venue. Delegates and guests would have been accosted on their way to the convention as thousands of pro-abortion, pro-Hamas, and TDS lunatics would have had a free shot at attendees.
The United States Supreme Court struck down the Trump administration’s 2018 ban on bump stocks in a Friday ruling, with Justice Clarence Thomas writing the majority opinion in a 6-3 decision.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) issued the ban at former president Donald Trump’s urging after the gunman who killed 58 people in a 2017 Las Vegas shooting was found to have used bump stocks, which increase a rifle’s rate of fire by using the recoil from a semiautomatic rifle to fire bullets in rapid succession.
The Trump administration argued in 2018 that adding bump stocks to semiautomatic rifles converts them into machine guns
Donald Trump got his 78th birthday present a day early — a handshake from his longtime bitter critic, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, encapsulating the Republican Party’s complete submission to its presumptive presidential nominee.
The twice-impeached 45th president and newly convicted criminal was back on Capitol Hill Thursday for the first time since his supporters beat up police officers and smashed their way through the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
President Trump released a hilarious new ad on Wednesday night titled “Timeless Quotes by Joe Biden.”
The president’s team compiled a few of Joe Biden’s more noteworthy pronouncements from the past few years into a memorable new ad. (Photo) Here are a few of the jewels of wisdom included in the video:
Joe Biden: “We hold these truths to be self-event. All men and women created by the, go you know… You know the thing.”

Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary has revealed his pick for Donald Trump's vice president, as suspense builds over who will join him on the 2024 ticket.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, the investor hailed North Dakota governor and former businessman Doug Burgum as a potential buffer to the often unpredictable former president.
'If you're an independent and you're thinking that Trump is too crazy, but then you've got Burgum in the package, then you've got some "Trump insurance". That's the way I think they're going to sell it,' he said.
Fundraiser hosted by emerging British populist figure Holly Valance, best known for her work as a model, pop star, and actress may have raised even more money for the Trump campaign than first thought, report now states.
Senior Trump campaign figures met with Republicans overseas and British donors in London at a fundraiser hosted by model Holly Valance and her husband the British billionaire property developer Nick Candy on Wednesday. The event was hailed by guest Richard Grenell, President Trump’s former ambassador to Germany, who said guest of honour Donald J Trump Jr. “brought the British house down”.
Hunter Biden is dropping his lawsuit accusing Rudy Giuliani and the former New York City mayor’s ex-lawyer of manipulating data found on his infamous laptop.
Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell filed the stipulation for dismissal Thursday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. (snip) The lawsuit claimed that Giuliani, 80, and Costello violated the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act when they allegedly hacked and manipulated data on the abandoned laptop in a “total annihilation” of the disgraced first son’s “digital privacy.”
When some of our readers tried to share Thursday’s editorial on Facebook, their posts were deleted. This isn’t the first time Big Tech has suppressed our speech and tried to rob us of revenue. In fact, it seems rather routine.
The editorial that Facebook doesn’t like was written under the headline “When Will The Ministry Of Truth Shut Down The Lyin’ Biden Ads?. When one reader (see the editorial’s comments section) tried to share it on Facebook, she “was advised they deleted my post for violating community standards.”
“It’s pretty rich,” she said, “for Facebook to claim an article pointing out how Biden’s ads are misleading is in itself misleading.”
According to multiple (unconfirmed) social media posts, Hezbollah’s number two commander has been taken out in an airstrike in Lebanon. Al Din had worked his way up the ranks of the political party/militant group:

Multiple Criminal Illegal Aliens over
the Last Two Weeks replies
It's been a busy two weeks for ICE agents in Houston. Five bad hombres have been arrested, thanks to the efforts of fugitive operations officers from the federal Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Houston and the ERO Waco office.
All five men are currently wanted for murder or homicide in the United States or in another country.
A press release issued by ICE described the criminal illegal aliens. They are Mexicans and Hondurans.
A 38-year-old unlawfully present Honduran national wanted in Mexico for multiple murders who was apprehended on May 23 in Galveston. The arrest was made by ERO Houston fugitive operations officers after they received information
The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a ruling that sided with coffee giant Starbucks in its challenge against a lower court's order that it rehire seven employees who had been fired amid a unionization push.
In an 8-1 decision, the justices threw out the lower court's approval of an injunction sought by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that ordered Starbucks to reinstate the workers while the NLRB's administrative case against the coffee chain proceeds.
The case concerned a group of seven workers at a Starbucks in Memphis, Tennessee, whose store became one of the first to unionize in 2022. During their organizing efforts, they allowed a TV news crew
