DOJ went into federal court today and couldn’t—or wouldn’t—tell the judge when it would comply with his orders. Judge Emmett Sullivan brought up the last time he held federal prosecutors in contempt. It didn’t sound like an idle history lesson: joycevance.substack.com/p/judge-sull...

Rep. Mike Flood: "Listen, we are in a conflict with Iran right now. There's going to be temporary pain. And it is painful. I don't want to discount that at all. But this will end and we will have energy independence."
