Pathetic Senate Republicans abandon principles by embracing Trump’s emergency declaration – Washington Examiner
Republicans who spent the Obama administration warning about the expansion of executive power on Thursday made fools of themselves by overwhelmingly backing President Trump’s emergency declaration in the name of building a border wall. In the process, they did long-term damage to the conservative cause. To be sure, the Senate voted 59-41 to disapprove of Trump’s declaration, and 12 Republicans took a principled stand. That Trump’s action was given the…

The reputed leader of the Gambino crime family, once headed by infamous mobster John Gotti, was gunned down in a “well-thought-out execution” outside his New York City home late Wednesday — sparking an investigation into whether the hit was sanctioned or the revival of a “mob war,” sources told ABC News.

On ’emergency,’ senators owe ‘loyalty’ to Constitution, not to Trump – Washington Examiner
Senators will be entirely justified when they vote later today to disapprove of President Trump’s (mis)use of supposed “emergency” powers to spend funds for a border wall that Congress did not appropriate for that purpose. The only shame is that the votes won’t be there to override his promised veto. Actually, if Senate Republicans had appropriate self-respect, Trump’s reported treatment of the vote as a “loyalty” test should make them…

Beto O’Rourke’s “born to be in it” remark in Vanity Fair and gender – Vox.com
Beto O’Rourke jumped into the Democratic presidential primary on Thursday sounding like he hasn’t heard much about the big debate in recent years over how we judge male and female leaders. Just before he announced his run, O’Rourke boasted to Vanity Fair that “I want to be in it. Man, I’m just born to be in it.” NBC reporter Kasie Hunt spotted the inherent double standard the comment represents: Men…

Beto O’Rourke won’t win, but here’s how he could disrupt the 2020 Democratic race – Washington Examiner
Former congressman and losing Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke, who just announced he is running for president, is not going to win. But he could prove disruptive to the 2020 Democratic race. As I explained in more detail before, O’Rourke is highly overrated as a presidential candidate. Glowing media coverage aside, comparisons that have been leveled to the relatively inexperienced 2008 version of Barack Obama are unwarranted. Among other things: Obama…

“All of us, wherever you live, can acknowledge that if immigration is a problem it’s the best possible problem for this country to have,’’ Mr. O’Rourke said in his video announcement Thursday. Mr. Trump, in turn, has taunted Mr. O’Rourke for turning a losing campaign into a launchpad for a presidential bid. “Hey, you’re supposed to win in order to run,’’ Mr. Trump has said.

Boeing under scrutiny after Ethiopian crash – CNN
Boeing’s 737 Max series, now steeped in controversy and grounded around the world, is the fastest-selling model in the history of the firm. The company has delivered 376 Max planes to airlines — but a further 4,636 from around the world are unfulfilled, according to Boeing’s latest reports.

Pass both Nancy Pelosi’s and Mike Lee’s national emergency bills – Washington Examiner
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi provided a Band-Aid to President Trump’s unconstitutional yet literally legal national emergency in the form of a vote to overturn his declaration. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has now unveiled the permanent solution. Lee’s Article One Act would formally update the National Emergencies Act, mandating that Congress vote to approve a national emergency within 30 days of its declaration, otherwise it expires. Congress abdicated their responsibility to…
