The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee is expected to open a congressional investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as soon as Thursday, a source tells CNN – the same day former President Donald Trump is slated to surrender at the county jail after being charged for participating in schemes to...
For anyone playing along, CNN reports the House Committee has sent a letter demanding documents about the case.
House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan sent Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis a letter requesting a slew of documents by September 7, confirming CNN’s exclusive reporting that the panel was opening an investigation into Willis.
In the letter, Jordan lays out why he believes his panel has jurisdiction over Willis’ probe and accuses Willis of being politically motivated.
“Your indictment and prosecution implicate substantial federal interests, and the circumstances surrounding your actions raise serious concerns about whether they are politically motivated,” Jordan writes.

I do find that so-called originalist members of the Senate that love the filibuster to be hypocritical considering it was a loophole and not an original part of the government. Of course that is a whole other can of worms.

Mastodon also doesn't feed you content from my understanding, you have to curate your feed yourself, and a lot of people don't mind the algorithm of places like TwitterX and Facebook feeding them random stuff.
Democrats on Thursday sought to make the case for legislation to mandate a binding ethics code for the U.S. Supreme Court after revelations that some conservative justices failed to disclose luxury trips and real estate transactions, with a Senate panel set to vote on the measure.
Why would the Supremes not just rule it unconstitutional because it's one branch interfering with another? It sounds good but it's probably not going anywhere.
