Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

I am suing the Attorney General of the United States. In my opinion, the judge in my case has been strategically laying the foundation for contempt.

WaPo Exclusive: The Trump admin is now set to spend at least $900 million for construction projects on the White House grounds.
