I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World. Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let’s keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words.He’s entering very dangerous territory!

UK’s Farage calls Jamie Raskin ‘pig-headed’ during London visit

A discussion on free speech became combative after the conversation brought up Donald Trump.

Nigel Farage, the leader of the United Kingdom’s conservative Reform party, shouted down Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) during a heated exchange about free speech Tuesday, effectively preventing the Democrat from continuing his remarks, four people in the room told POLITICO.

The U.S. lawmaker had just begun remarks on the history of free speech in the U.S. and turned to current threats posed by President Donald Trump when Farage interrupted, according to Raskin and the three other people, all Democratic lawmakers.

“We’re not here to talk about Donald Trump,” Farage said, according to Raskin in an interview from London.“[Farage] said that I am a guest here, and I should act like a guest. And I told him that he was a host, and he should act like a host.”

Pat Leahy has a warning for his former colleagues about Trump’s US attorney gambit

“The Senate seems to have forgotten that it’s an independent body,” the longtime Vermont Democrat lamented Wednesday. (Boo Hoo)

Kyle Cheney07/30/2025, 5:20pm ET

Pat Leahy saw it coming.

In the throes of a 2007 scandal that seems quaint by modern standards, the then-Senate Judiciary chair issued a warning to all presidents:If you repeatedly sidestep the Senate to jam political loyalists into temporary U.S. attorney posts, you are violating the law. He was particularly concerned about “double dipping” — an effort by presidents to circumvent legal time limits on unconfirmed U.S. attorneys by creatively reshuffling personnel.

“It is not designed or intended to be used repeatedly for the same vacancy,” Leahy said at the time.

Fast forward to 2025: President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi are seeking to shatter that check on presidential power, finding new ways to carry out the “double dipping” that Leahy warned against:

• In Washington, D.C., after Trump’s initial pick Ed Martin failed to win Senate confirmation, Trump simply appointed a second interim prosecutor, Jeanine Pirro, to a successive 120-day slot.

• In northern New York and Los Angeles, Bondi maneuvered to put Trump’s expiring U.S. attorney picks into “acting” roles that would give them another 210 days on the job without Senate confirmation.

• And in New Jersey, the Justice Department went nuclear after district court judges appointed a career prosecutor to replace Trump’s favored pick, Alina Habba, as temporary U.S. attorney — a power the courts have had since the Civil War. An aggressive effort to keep Habba in place has already disrupted a handful of criminal cases in New Jersey.

With a largely compliant, Republican-led Congress, Trump has faced minimal pushback. But the campaign presages battles to come, particularly in blue states where Democratic senators still wield significant sway over who can be confirmed as permanent U.S. attorneys.

It’s the latest expression of Trump’s effort to shrug off traditional constraints on presidential power and relegate Congress to bystander or cheerleader. And it was a concern that animated Congress’ decision to pass the 2007 law checking the president’s power to unilaterally install U.S. attorneys in the first place.

A Justice Department spokesperson said the moves by Trump and Bondi to reshuffle U.S. attorneys are rooted in a pair of federal laws creating “separate mechanisms” to appoint different types of temporary office-holders. Those statutes, however, don’t speak to whether presidents and attorneys general can deploy those mechanisms in back-to-back succession.

POLITICO caught up with Leahy, who’s living a peaceful retirement in Vermont, and asked about recent developments in the U.S. attorney saga. His main message: The Senate needs to stand up for itself and its power of “advice and consent” for all officers of the federal government.

“No senator should have to go back home and have people say why the heck did you let this person come in as a U.S. attorney,” the former Democratic senator said. “Republicans and Democrats agreed with me on that, that we had to have some say in the matter. We can’t tell the president who to appoint. But we can certainly tell them who not to appoint for our states.”

Habba’s case, in particular, may test whether that longstanding history can outweigh the gravitational force of a president intent on rejecting it.

“The Senate seems to have forgotten that it’s an independent body,” Leahy lamented, “and if it fails to act that way, the Senate suffers but the country suffers.”

Hawley defends himself against pile-on from Trump over stock trading bill

The Missouri Republican senator said he has “love” for the president and would seek to make changes to the legislation to win Trump’s support.

In wake of searing criticism from President Donald Trump, Sen. Josh Hawley defended his legislation that would ban stock trading among lawmakers, the president and vice president.

In a Truth Social post Wednesday afternoon, Trump called the Missouri Republican a “second-tier Senator” and criticized his bill as a win for the Democrats and “so bad for our Country.”

Hawley’s bill was advanced by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Wednesday morning in a 8-7 vote, with Hawley the lone Republican voting with Democrats.

“Listen, I want the President to sign the bill, so I’m happy to do whatever it would take to get him to say, ‘Yes, this is good,’” Hawley told reporters following his excoriation by Trump on social media. “I want results.”

Hawley, who reiterated his “love” for the president, emphasized that Trump is not covered by the bill. Indeed, while the stock trading ban would go into effect for the executive and legislative branch elected officials immediately, Trump would not be required to divest his holdings for the remainder of his term.

He also said he was open to making changes to get Trump on board with the measure so that it could be signed into law.

“He’s not covered by the PELOSI Act, but Nancy Pelosi is,”Hawley said. The name of the bil was previously the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act, named for former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose family trading has come under scrutiny. The California Democrat has said she supports Hawley’s bill.

The bill was renamed during the Homeland Security markup to the HONEST Act.

Top Democrat on Senate Intel panel condemns firing of NSA general counsel

Dan De Luce

Reporting from Washington

Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, denounced the dismissal of the general counsel at the National Security Agency.

Warner, D-Va., said April Doss was an experienced, nonpartisan figure who appeared to be the target of a political “smear.” Doss took over as the top lawyer at the NSA in 2022.

When asked about the Doss’ termination, a NSA spokesperson told NBC News, “We are looking into your request and if we have anything further to share, we will."

The right-leaning website The Daily Wire recently published an article about Doss’ previous work for the Democratic staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee under the headline: “Democrat Russia Hoax Investigator Is Now Top Lawyer At Trump’s National Security Agency.” Far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer at one point reposted a social media post criticizing Doss.

The New York Times first reported Doss’ firing.

Warner said in a statement: “We should be outraged by the firing of April Doss, a deeply principled public servant, apparently for the role that she played in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s bipartisan investigation into Russian election interference.” (Even a bigger Reason to Fire her.)

“Her dismissal appears to be the result of a politically motivated smear campaign driven by a far-right conspiracy theorist, not any legitimate concern about her conduct or qualifications. Undermining experienced, nonpartisan professionals like April weakens our national security and makes it harder to protect the country from real threats,” he said.

In April, the Trump administration, without explanation, fired the director of the NSA, Gen. Timothy Haugh, and his deputy, Wendy Noble, following allegations from Loomer. She had claimed that the two officials were disloyal but did not offer evidence for the accusation.
