Fast forward to a recent episode of ABC’s “This Week,” where Michigan Democratic Sen.…

Eric Swalwell’s recent announcement to run for governor of California raises critical questions about his legal eligibility. The congressman appears to violate clear constitutional requirements. According to California law, a candidate’s primary and permanent residence must be in California for at least five years prior to an election. Yet Swalwell’s own mortgage documents assert that his true home lies in Washington, D.C. The California Constitution, specifically Article V, Section 2, dictates that a governor must be a resident of the state. However, “resident” in this context is not merely where one receives mail. It requires establishing domicile, which is defined…
Bill Maher has struck a chord by criticizing the ultimatum issued by Jimmy Kimmel’s wife, Molly McNearney, to relatives who supported President Donald Trump. On his HBO show, Maher laid bare the problem with emotional blackmail, a strategy he argues only serves to alienate family members rather than foster real unity. “Ultimatums don’t make people rethink their politics. They make them rethink you,” he remarked, pointing out that blunt threats rarely bring about understanding in deeply held ideological conflicts. McNearney’s open letter outlining her reasons against supporting Trump seemed well-meaning, yet Maher sharply observed the unintended consequences of her approach.…

The past five days have been the first time all members have been present in Washington, D.C., since a government shutdown started on October 1.
