Well, today was the opposite of a slow news day [View all]

1) House Republicans killed their own border deal and handed Biden a political club that he can now beat them with, potentially reversing his fortunes in the immigration debate.

2) A federal appeals court ruled that citizen Trump is not immune from prosecution.

3) In New York, Judge Engoron sent signals that the Trump fraud trial is going to get even worse for Trump.

4) The GOP House failed to impeach Sec. Mayorkas...

5) ...and then also failed to pass a standalone Israel aid bill, making Speaker Johnson look completely incompetent.

6) News broke that there will be no charges in the Biden classified documents case.

Did I miss anything?
