Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:45:39 GMT

(The Hill) – The government did not shut down Sunday, surprising just about everyone.Instead, lawmakers rallied around a 47-day “clean” stopgap measure that did nothing to support Ukraine or deal with the border crisis.The result is that the House and Senate will have to figure out a way to keep the government open again in a little more than a month if they want to prevent a Thanksgiving shutdown.They’ll also have to prevent a closure as Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) works under repeated threats to his job.Here are five takeaways.McCarthy escapes again — but trouble is around the cornerMcCarthy’s ability to surprise — repeatedly snatching a semblance of political victory from the jaws of defeat — is becoming something to behold.Throughout last week, it seemed certain that the government would close and that he would get the blame.That this didn’t happen made it a pretty good outcome for the Speaker, even though Democrats got much of what they wanted from the new funding law.The...

He looked straight ahead, arms crossed, facing away from a screen that showed details of Wallace's presentation. Defense lawyers, in their openings, said that the financial statements were true. Trump's holdings are "Mona Lisa properties" that can command top dollar, attorney Alina Habba said.“That is not fraud. That is real estate," she said, a...
