Wow, the timing, what a coincidence.

Breaking: Pelosi delayed the impeachment waiting on her commemorative embossed souvenir pen order bearing her signature
The choreography is so over the top for the somber occasion, too, designed doubtlessly to mock Trump.
Speaking of carving out new states of the union, Virginia looks set to divide again, over guns, giving us West Virginia, Virginia, and South Virginia
Maybe what's left of Virginia will call itself Northern Virginia, but probably not. Might remind people of the Army of Northern Virginia, Robert E. Lee, minstrel shows in blackface, Gov. Ralph Northam, you know, that kind of thing.
I'm confused: How can the world be ending in 11 years when Obama stopped the rise of the oceans in 2008?
I mean, he just bought a house on an island, amirite?
With the budget deficit topping $1 trillion again, Larry Kudlow promises a middle class tax cut proposal for later in the year
The American people are for two incompatible things, spending and tax cuts, and Trump is giving it to them, good and hard.
Speaker Pelosi snubs Justin Amash for impeachment manager, names some unknown Democrats instead
- Pelosi names Reps. Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Hakeem Jeffries, Zoe Lofgren, Val Demings, Jason Crow and Sylvia Garcia to manage the House impeachment case against Trump.
I sure hope the job comes with a map so they can find the US Senate chambers, and a pocket copy of the constitution.

Mayor Bloomberg once was a Republican, then he became a Democrat, now he's just a meatball
Better be a turkey meatball, mister.
The idiots at Vox don't know that the constitution specifies a minimum congressional district size of 30,000
Here:
"Literally nothing in the Constitution prevents Congress
from admitting the Obama family’s personal DC residence as a state — a
state which would then be entitled to two senators, one member of the
House, and exactly as much say on whether the Constitution should be
amended as the entire state of Texas."
Article I, Section 2.3:
The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for
every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one
Representative;
You can't have two per thirty thousand, that is, one per fifteen thousand, let alone one representative for just four people.
It doesn't occur to the idiots at Vox, nor Harvard Law whence the idea comes, that the main problem with the federal government is that the US House concentrated power in its hands decades ago by stopping the growth of representation. It's been on a spending spree ever since, picking the taxpayers' pockets.
Why do you think we have a $23 trillion debt?
Giving Obama his own representative just makes the Obama family more like Wyoming, our least populous state, which already has too much representation relative to California according to these liberals.
The feds grabbed this power by fixing the number of representatives at 435 way back in 1929, contrary to the intent of the constitution, which required a census every ten years in order to add representatives to the US House as the country grew in size. The original First Amendment to the constitution would have fixed the formula at one per fifty thousand, giving us over 6,000 representatives by today. It failed ratification by just one vote. The bastards finally realized this loophole in 1929 and pulled a power play.
Yes, maybe some mega states like California, Texas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio should be carved up to add states to the union and increase representation that way. Northern Californians and Southern Illinoisans already feel this way.
But carving up DC into a bunch of states? Really? It has about 705,000 residents total, less than the current average size of one US congressional district. If it were a state, the most representatives it should have today would be fourteen, but under the current way it's done, just one.
And the Obama family doesn't get its own private Representative to the US House, not while we're alive anyway. He got to be president for eight years. He can cast his useless vote now like everyone else.
What a farce is Vox.
