So much drama, so little time to see it all resolved. When the Senate convenes at 10 a.m. Eastern today, the scene will be set for a fantastic grand finale to this summer session.

It took all night and into the morning, but the Friday grand finale was as epic as expected.

Rahm Emanuel may not have realized he was playing with fire when he targeted Bernie Sanders last month. Now, in true socialist form, Bernie is trying to “redistribute” – and in the unlikely event he succeeds, it's the whole Democratic establishment that will “Feel the Bern.”

Rep. Clyde is certainly correct – especially when it comes to Texans or even Americans across the nation who are willing and able to do what needs to be done to be covered by the injunction. However, the ruling leaves much to be desired. It is, at best, only a solid first step in undoing one of the most egregious infringements on an allegedly uninfringeable right to keep and bear arms in this nation. Certainly, the NFA was the first successful federal gun control law, and without it, the others could never have followed.

Of course, red states weren't really the problem. President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have logged quite a few significant

When it comes to gun rights, the Trump administration has what, at first glance, appears to be a very confused stance. But is it really as it seems? Last year, President Donald Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which, among a great many other things, removed the $200 fee for registering certain items in accordance with the National Firearms Act of 1934. Yet as recently as about a week ago, the DOJ defended the NFA registration for suppressors, only giving up the fight when a federal judge ruled it now unconstitutional. This isn't the only example in recent years – but a closer look at the apparent conflict of interest might reveal something deeper.

President Donald Trump and Republicans hoping to hold the House after November notched another win in Missouri this week. Cole County Circuit Judge Daniel Green ruled on Wednesday, August 19, that the state's constitutional referendum rules don't apply to congressional redistricting enacted by the General Assembly. If his ruling stands, so too will the GOP-friendly new district map, which is expected to give Republicans one more seat in the House. But will it stand? That's the question – and the Missouri Supreme Court seems to be chomping at the bit to answer it.

President Donald Trump got the go-ahead to continue construction on the new White House ballroom on August 21. A federal judge had ordered work to halt back in April, but on Friday, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a stay blocking that injunction until the High Court can resolve the case.

As the saying goes, you can't win ‘em all. President Donald Trump was handed a mixed bag of rulings from federal courts this week, exemplifying

Just how powerful is the president these days when it comes to winning elections? When you first look at President Donald Trump's endorsement to win ratio, the record is impressive.
