Republican lawmaker defends voting against January 6 commission
Rep.
Michael McCaul (R-TX) says he voted against a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6 riot at the US Capitol because he believes the Justice Department would do a better job since it would be devoid of political influence.
Special Counsel Jack Smith's report claims Donald Trump would have been convicted for election interference if he had not won the 2024 election. The 174-page report, submitted to Congress, argues that the Department of Justice's policy on presidential immunity prevented further prosecution. It highlights challenges faced in the investigation, including claims of political bias and witness intimidation. Trump’s response criticized Smith as biased, while the report's second volume, concerning classified documents, remains sealed.

Donald Trump’s controversial proposal to purchase Greenland from Denmark has sparked intense debate across the United States. The former president, citing national security reasons, revived the idea in his latest political moves, despite the pushback from many corners. A recent USA TODAY poll reveals that only 11% of Americans fully support the idea, while 29% think it's a good but unrealistic notion. In stark contrast, 53% of respondents opposed the plan, with the division deepening across party lines — 86% of Democrats rejected the proposal, while only 23% of Republicans supported it. The idea has met widespread opposition, with many questioning its feasibility and the long-term implications of such a move.

The US House of Representatives passed the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports at federally funded schools. Republicans argue it ensures fairness, while Democrats condemn it as discriminatory against trans individuals, especially youth. The bill mandates gender recognition based on birth biology for Title IX compliance. Critics view it as a broader attack on LGBTQ rights. The legislation now moves to the GOP-controlled Senate for consideration, sparking intense national debate

In a tense and dramatic Senate hearing, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) clashed with FBI Director nominee Kash Patel over his alleged ties to individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol riot.

Patel, refusing to look away from Schiff, responded, "I'm looking at you. You're talking to me." The fiery exchange underscored deep divisions over Patel’s nomination, with Schiff pressing him on his fundraising efforts linked to Jan. 6 defendants
