Denver Mayor Cuts Police Budget by $8 Million to Fund Illegal Aliens
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D-Colo.) has announced a new spending package that will fund the hordes of illegal aliens flooding into the state, including cutting the city police department’s budget by $8 million in order to support illegals.
As Fox News reports, Johnston’s $45.9 million proposition will go towards funding "newcomers" in the year 2024, on top of the $44 million that has already been spent on illegals in recent years. The city of Denver used to spend a mere $2 million every month on illegals as far back as August; as of December, that amount soared to $15 million a month. The number of illegals living in shelters peaked at 5,000 in January but has since fallen to about 1,000.

Poll by Progressive Group Claims Republicans Divided over 1864 Arizona Abortion Law
A progressive polling firm released data on Tuesday that claims Republicans are divided over the decision by the Arizona Supreme Court to enact a 19th-century law that bans most abortions, including in the event of rape or incest.
Pollsters at Data for Progress asked likely U.S. voters whether they approve of the state Supreme Court's decision to ban all abortions "with exceptions only for when the life of the mother is in danger" and with "no exceptions for pregnancy resulting from rape or incest."
COMMENTARY
Commentary: Lawfare Didn’t Begin with Trump
The newest buzzword in politics is “Lawfare,” the effort to cripple political opponents through legal initiatives, preferably by bringing criminal cases. Today’s favorite target is former President Trump, who has been indicted in various state and federal jurisdictions for some ninety-one felonies.
Amazingly, Wikipedia’s current “Lawfare” entry goes into great detail concerning the term’s origins and current application – defining Lawfare as “the use of legal systems and institutions to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter an individual's usage of their legal rights” without any mention whatsoever of its current use against Trump.
