New York City took more than 30 upstate counties and Long Island to court on June 7, accusing them of violating state and federal law by refusing to take in illegal immigrants relocating from the city. Local officials at these localities issued executive orders and barred hotels in their jurisdictions from accommodating illegal immigrants.

After weeks of resistance, the FBI finally permitted the members of the House Oversight Committee to view the form FD-1023 which includes allegations from a confidential human source detailing the alleged pay-to-play scheme. At issue is Ukrainian oil company Burisma, which was facing an investigation from Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin in 2016.

Unlike the Bay Area, which has seen two major earthquakes in under 120 years, Los Angeles and the rest of Southern California are in a 300-year “seismic drought” that’s baffled scientists for years. Research published this week has revealed that a toxic 300-square-mile lake, and its effect on the pent-up tectonic plates below, may be a big reason why. In short, the drying of the Salton Sea in modern times has, for now, reduced pressure on the San Andreas Fault and delayed the “Big One,” which may one day wreak devastation on the Los Angeles basin and its 13 million...

It is a flat out lie. So you are getting a lot of these leaks. Now, people are forced to testify under penalty of inprisonment and things of that sort, but in terms of him and his lawyers trying to cut a deal with the Special Counsel, that's a lie. And that's been reported and so the reporting is a lie. And I...
