Meanwhile - trump crime family takes a hit


NEW YORK, Jan 6 (Reuters) - A New York judge on Friday said former U.S. President Donald Trump must face a lawsuit by the state's attorney general accusing him of fraudulently overvaluing his namesake real estate company's assets and his own net worth.

Attorney General Letitia James had suedTrump, his adult children Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka and the Trump Organization last September over an alleged scheme to inflate Trump's assets by billions of dollars through a decade of lies to banks and insurers, in what she called a "staggering" fraud.

Justice Arthur Engoron of the state Supreme Court in Manhattan rejected defense claims that James waited too long to sue, fell short of establishing fraud, and should have better justified the $250 million of damages she is seeking.

He also said Ivanka Trump could be sued despite her claims she had not falsified valuations and not worked for the Trump Organization since 2017, saying she could be liable for participating in "continuing wrongs."

Closed door meeting this morning

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/new-congress-sworn-in-2023/index.html
A closed-door meeting among Republican lawmakers ahead of the vote for House speaker is heating up.

Snip

McCarthy raised his voice in the meeting as he animatedly teed off on his opponents, detailed all the concessions he has made and said that it hasn’t been good enough, two sources said.

“I’ve earned this job,” he said.
“I’m not going to go away. I’m going to stand until the last four friends stand with me," he said, according to a source.
McCarthy also swore in his speech, dropping a “god damnit.”
A source called it a fiery speech and said McCarthy made clear he would negotiate no more. Another source told CNN that McCarthy took his opponents "to the woodshed like I've never seen.”

McCarthy said opponents came to him with “personal asks” on Monday night, such as committee assignments and special assignments.

Rep. Lauren Boebert yelled “bullsh*t” in response to his speech, according to a source.

Abortion rights, common sense gun control.. Not political

Issues IMHO, but that's what I was told.

Was having what I thought was a sane discussion but red state native said it was all political and stormed off.

Sent them this. But didn't help because they said LOTS of people wanting to move to TX. From - California #1

A June Texas Politics Project Poll shows 59% of Texas residents think the state is on the wrong track while 31% believe the state is going in the right direction. The percentage of Texans thinking the state is on the wrong track is the highest percent ever since the Texas Political Project poll began in 2008 and is an eight percentage point increase from its April poll
