Cory Booker throws a tantrum, joins Dem walkout of Senate hearing on Trump judge pick Emil Bove
Spartacus has returned! An enraged Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) shouted over Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for eight straight minutes Thursday before joining his fellow Democrats in storming out of a business meeting to consider President Trump's nominees — including that of his former personal attorney, Emil Bove. Booker threw a fit after Grassley spurned his request to debate Bove's nomination to the Philadelphia-based Third Circuit Court of Appeals and proceeded with a vote to report the nominee to the Senate floor after Democrats vacated the meeting room. 'I don't understand this,' Booker raged. 'What are you afraid of, about even debating this, putting things on the record, hearing from every senator?' 'Dear God. That's what our obligations are,' he continued. ' … There's no need to rush this.' 4 Sen. Cory Booker put on a furious display during the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing on Emil Bove's nomination. C-SPAN 4 Republicans kept proceeding with votes as Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats left the hearing room. C-SPAN 'You are obligated to address a point of order according to the rules of this committee,' the Garden Stater went on. 'You can overrule me by a Senate vote. You're violating your own rules.' Grassley rebuffed Booker, telling him he was 'out of order' for interrupting proceedings. Democrats had wanted to hear from a whistleblower, fired former Justice Department lawyer Erez Reuveni, who alleged Bove encouraged the Trump administration to ignore a court order. According to Reuveni, Bove while serving as principal deputy attorney general insisted that migrant flights to El Salvador's notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) complex 'take off no matter what' after a federal judge ordered the transit halted. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has denied Reuveni accusations as 'utterly false.' 4 Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley largely ignored Sen. Cory Booker's protest. C-SPAN Booker, who broke a Senate filibuster record in April, decried the ordeal as 'absolutely insane.' 'We're simply asking for a credible amount of time to air our concerns before the vote,' said Booker, who in April broke the Senate's record for longest filibuster speech. 'This undermines the basic decency of this committee.' Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) was heard murmuring 'this is a kangaroo court' as she and other Democrats — including ranking member Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) stormed out of the room. During his outburst, Booker lauded the 91-year-old Grassley as a 'good man' and a 'decent man.' 'Why are you doing this? What is Donald Trump saying to you that is making you do something which is violating the decorum of this committee, the rules of this committee, the decency?' 4 Emil Bove's judicial nomination has been met with fierce resistance from Democrats. via REUTERS Senate Republicans have been under pressure to pick up the pace with judicial nominations after lagging behind both the Biden administration and the first Trump administration. On Thursday, despite the Democrats' protests, the Judiciary Committee advanced the nominations of Bove and four other Trump choices for the federal bench.

What is Donald Trump hiding? Bruised hand covered in makeup
A fresh wave of concern about Donald Trump's health resurfaced on Tuesday after a camera zoomed in on a familiar bruise on the back of the President's right hand. The footage, captured by C-SPAN as Trump spoke to reporters before heading to Pittsburgh, showed a patch of makeup caked over the discolored area — makeup that clearly didn't match his skin tone. According to New York Magazine, the patch appeared flaky and heavy, giving rise to renewed speculation about what it might be hiding. This isn't the first time the same spot has drawn attention. Observers first noted a similar bruise during a February meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. At the time, The Independent reported that the area looked yellow, bruised, and covered. Since then, it's been spotted again in April and June. The New Republic also highlighted these repeated sightings, questioning why the bruise keeps reappearing — and why it's often concealed with makeup. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the concerns, repeating an explanation she's used before. 'President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history,' Leavitt said, The Daily Beast reported. 'His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day.' She made a similar statement last month, calling it a common side effect of vigorous campaigning and physical interaction with supporters. Trump himself has previously claimed the bruise is a result of his dedication to meeting voters. 'It's from shaking hands with thousands of people,' he told Time magazine in December 2024. In April, the White House released the president's official health report, which claimed there were no major medical concerns. The report said Trump's 'blood flow to his extremities is unimpaired,' and that there were 'no concerning lesions or growths.' It also noted 'minor sun damage' to his skin but claimed his joints and muscles showed 'no swelling.'

Trump border czar Tom Homan wants ICE to dramatically up illegal migrant arrest quota after ‘big beautiful bill' cash infusion
President Trump's 'border czar' Tom Homan wants ICE agents to arrest at least 7,000 illegal immigrants every day — more than double the current quota — after the agency received a massive budget boost for its mass deportation campaign with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill. 'And for those that say 3,000 a day is too much, I want to remind them, do the math we have to arrest 7,000 every single day for the remainder of this administration just to catch the ones Biden released into the nation,' Homan told reporters Monday outside the White House. Trump signed the nearly 900-page bill into law on July 4, opening the door for ICE to hire 10,000 new officers and double its capacity to detain illegal immigrants. President Trump's 'border czar' Tom Homan called for ICE agents to double their daily arrest quota. C-SPAN Homan's remarks come days after Trump signed the big beautiful bill. @PressSec / X The law will only 'turbocharge' Trump's deportation effort, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLauglin told The Post last week. White House advisor Stephen Miller recently pushed ICE to make 3,000 arrests per day, which has filled detention centers to the brim. The Trump administration originally gave ICE a quota of 1,800 arrests a day in January and increased the expectations in May.
