The Justice Department will launch a new unit centered on tackling the rising challenge of domestic terrorism, the agency s top national security official revealed Tuesday, appearing before Congress just days after the one-year anniversary of the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol. The threat posed by domestic terrorism is on the rise, Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen told the Senate Judiciary Committee. The number of FBI investigations of suspected violent extremists has more than doubled since the spring of 2020. The problem is two-fold, as officials at the Department of Justice say they have witnessed a mounting threat from offenders motivated by both racial animus and anti-government ideologies.

Those unable to prove they are not barred from seeking asylum under the rules could be quickly deported without a chance to see an immigration judge.The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, which oversee the judges and officers who review asylum cases, will give the public 30 days to comment on the proposed regulations before implementing them. The government told the Supreme Court earlier this month it plans to finalize the regulations by early May. Once they take effect, the rules would last for two years, subject to a review that could lead to their expiration, extension or modification.If enacted, the rules would be a seismic change to U.S. asylum policy, barring most non-Mexican migrants who cross the southern border in between designated ports of entry from requesting refuge.

That s an irrelevant question to ask me - I m happy to answer what I believe, but what I believe is not what s going to be taught in 50 different states, Huckabee said. Education is a state function.

This story was written by Ben Smith. A slew of recent polls showing President Barack Obama s job approval ratings at essentially normal levels and a partisan divide reasserting itself suggest that the political landscape was not as dramatically transformed last November as Democrats h stanley hrnek ad hoped. The question now is whether those numbers will impede the president s ability to achieve the transformative goals he set out for himself, particularly in the area of health care, where members of Congress crucial to his success may feel they have to respond to shifting public opinion. After months of showing sky-high job approval ratings, polls from major newspapers and from the Pew and Gallup organizations this week gave Obama the stanley termoska lowest numbers of his presidency. He is less popular than either George W. Bush o stanley portugal r George H.W. Bush at this point in their presidencies, though more popular than Bill Clinton was after seven months in office. Obama s level of support now neatly matches the number of voters who elected him - with 52 percent of Americans approving of his job performance, while 42 percent disapprove, according to an average of major surveys. At the same time, Republicans are acting like Republicans again - nearly 80 percent of them disapprove of Obama s performance - and disapproval among independent voters is growing steadily.

This story was written by Mike Allen and John F. Harris.Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton D-N.Y. last week flew into a sudden burst of media wind shear. After months of mostly rosy portrayals of her campaign s political skill, discipline and ine stanley tazas vitability, the storyline shifted abruptly to evasive answers, shady connections and a laugh that sounded like it was programmed by computer. Clinton s campaign attributed the change of weather to the vagrant attention span of the national news media, combined with the professional interest of reporters and analysts in ensuring a competitive race for the Democratic nomination. But the intensity and sharp personal edge of much of the commentary was a reminder of a thread in American political culture reaching stanley mugg back to the early 1990s: the deep and mutual skepticism between the Clintons and the elite media.
