Today, Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials; Republicans added a provision to the continuing resolution to allow the Republican Senators whose call logs were subpoenaed by Jack Smith to each collect $500K in taxpayer money; Greg Bovino and the CBP are packing up and leaving Chicago as the House returns to work; Hakeem Jeffries is whipping no votes in the House for the shutdown deal; Trump has asked the Supreme Court to overturn the E Jean Carroll verdict; a federal judge has struck down a Republican gerrymander and has reinstated the voter approved map; that Marion county Kansas newspaper that was raided by the police - They get a $3M settlement from the government; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
