Huckabee, I think - the new ambassador to Israel.

Queen's/King's/Prince's Consent is given on advice of the govt. It could be used to block a private member's bill, but again, the govt would have to advise for it. In 2014, there seemed to be 4 examples of it having happened (and thus led to the Bills being withdrawn, all on advice from the gov...

Isn't that his crypto coin Doge dog?

They're not foodbanks. They're hubs to collect unused food from supermarkets/suppliers in order to send it to where it is useful - that does include foodbanks, but also charities, schools, etc. That seems to be a good thing to me, and rather baffling as to why it hasn't been done before.

assuming that there is a hearing not a recess.

3 years as AG, and then off to SCOTUS with him??

That is kind of how see it - strongarm the Senate immediately when Trump's not burned anyone yet. In a couple of years, some might be less willing as their terms run out.

There seems to be quite a significant move to withdraw from Twitter since the election, and since Musk was given a US govt role (or a prospect of). Organisations, celebrities, quite a broad range. I think it's just a convenient break point - Twitter use has changed noticeably since Musk took...

Surely Trump's Unitary Redundancy Department ?

I see John Bolton has said that what Agent Orange wants isn't loyalty - it's fealty.

Didn't the separation idea get rejected during Obama's time? He did appoint Homan, and Homan did come up with the idea, but I didn't think it was put into practice.

well, it could be a ploy to look as though Musk isn't in charge. I did say 'a little'! Bannon, wouldn't surprise anyone, I'd think.

Thune in as Senate leader, beating Musk's chosen one Rick Scott. Four years ago, he said that Trump should step aside. The TwitterXMuskosphere is already showing the "you're on notice" trash. Senators acting a little independently?

I think it says that the person(s) who told him it had been reported to the police hadn't actually done so.

And brag about... it seems unlikely.

If it happens, it's pretty blatant, isn't it?

From the little I've read, that's not the only thing. I wonder if he'll want a big name assassination to his name (not that Trump will allow anyone else to take credit).

Does the DoD or the Secretary of State run overseas military for the US? His Middle East position is pretty anti-Iran and pro-Israel from a quick look at his wikipedia page. "there's no reason why the miracle of the re-establishment of the Temple on the Temple Mount is not possible." (this...

The time available is largely down to it not being a government bill, isn't it? I thought that it had more than more backbench bills. What it doesn't have is the committee time to assess options with experts. My impression was that that is pretty standard for an independent bill.

That's what I think - it'll raise the questions more obviously, and recommendations can then be canvassed again. The downside for those who want it is that it will be a few years before the next go-round. I think in general that it's considered acceptable, but with great reservations regarding...
