The indictment provided no details about evidence that prosecutors would use in a trial, & came even though career prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia had found insufficient evidence to support charges.

The indictment asserts that #Comey lied when he testified to senators in 2020 that he had not authorized anyone in the FBI to leak info to the news media about a bureau investigation into an unnamed person. But it was not even clear what episode the indictment refers to.

The #DOJ would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that #Comey intentionally lied to the #Senate cmte, “not just that he got something wrong,” Robert Kelner, a lawyer at the firm Covington & Burling, who has represented the #Republican National Cmte & other Republican organizations, posted.

“What evidence do they have for that?” Kelner said, adding, “This isn’t a serious case.”

More than half of #Senate #Democrats voted to block #weapons sales to #Israel.

Last night, 2 resolutions introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) were rejected. But the votes revealed Democrats’ growing frustration with Israel’s actions in #Gaza.

Does convicted child sex trafficker Maxwell get a deal from DoJ if she
implicates Trump? Not a chance in hell.

Does Maxwell get a deal from DoJ if she exonerates Trump? Probably.

She knows both things very well. She's a criminal & a liar given incentive by DoJ to lie to benefit herself.

#StephenColbert should now run for #Senate against the odious Lindsey Graham in #SouthCarolina. He's the perfect guy for the times. Actually intelligent with a keen knowledge of politics and history. Can communicate the same to a wide audience. Actually patriotic, actively supports the troops. Actually religious, but not obnoxious about it. If we're going to have circus politics now, can you imagine a more skilled ringmaster?

The #OneBigBeautifulBill will make it harder to develop #wind & #solar #energy projects, despite the removal of some contentious provisions, industry advocates & lawmakers said.

The #Senate dropped a proposed excise tax on solar & wind energy projects that don't meet strict standards after last-minute negotiations with key #Republican senators seeking better terms for #renewables.

The #Senate also changed language about which #solar & #wind projects can use the 2022 #InflationReductionAct’s #TaxCredits.

In the Senate's final version, projects will be able to use the lucrative credits if they begin construction before 2026.

A previous version was based on when the projects enter service.

The #Trump admin has taken an aggressive approach to cutting back the federal government’s role in #education, including plans to eliminate the Education Department entirely. Though only #Congress can abolish the department, the Trump admin has taken an ax to education staffing & #funding more broadly as it seeks to whittle down the department.

The admin has suggested that it may seek to eliminate the nearly $7 billion in frozen funding. [which it absolutely cannot do]

#RussVought, the director of the White House #OMB, said during a #Senate #Appropriations Cmte hearing last week that the admin was considering ways to claw back the funding through a process known as rescission. The admin would formally ask lawmakers to claw back a set of funds it has targeted for cuts. Even if #Congress fails to vote on the request, #Trump’s timing would trigger a #law that freezes the money until it ultimately expires.

“No decision has been made,” Vought said.

The #Trump admin has declined to release nearly $7 billion in federal #funding for #schools that helps pay for after-school & summer programs, support for #students learning English, #teacher training & other services.

The money, which was already allocated by #Congress, was expected to be released by Tuesday. But in an email on Monday, the Trump #Education Department notified #state education agencies that the money would not be available.

The #Trump admin offered little explanation, saying only that the funds were under review. It gave no timeline for when, or if, the money would be released, saying instead that it was “committed to ensuring taxpayer resources are spent in accordance with the president’s priorities.” The frozen funds are unrelated to the millions of dollars in cuts included in the domestic policy bill that squeaked through the #Senate on Tuesday.
