Tense Moments Dominate Latest Impeachment Testimonies

Things got a little heated during the latest round of impeachment inquiry testimony when legal experts and scholars clashed with representatives during a tense session.

At one point, one of the scholars, Stanford Law Professor Pamela Karlan, slipped in a joke at the expense of President Trump’s son, Baron, setting off criticism from Rep. Gaetz.

While much of the testimony given centered on hypotheticals regarding Trump’s actions, the session has primarily set the tone for the next phase of the impeachment process.

You can watch some of Rep. Gaetz comments toward Professor Karlan in the below video:

House Drug Pricing Bill Will Hurt Americans

The White House released a statement this week, criticizing a House bill that would essentially force prescription drug manufacturers to reduce the production of life-saving drugs.

DeVos hopes to spin-off the Federal Student Aid division of the Department of Education as its own institution. Such a move would untangle the FSA, the largest consumer lender in the US, and reduce bureaucratic red-tape.

Of course, any changes would have to be approved by Congress. Given their track record, we aren’t holding out too much hope.

Miller, a Korean War vet, sprung into action and used part of a Christmas display to strike the dog until it released the girl.
