7. There is allegedly a plan to avoid another government shutdown that was unveiled by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in a closed-door meeting. However, a shutdown is looking more likely every day, and to no surprise, the media is declaring Republicans the villains, but they may be right this time.
6. U.S. Sen. Katie Britt was one of three senators to not sign a letter asking Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to put the dress code in the U.S. Senate back in place. Britt, and the guy the dress code was changed for, reportedly have a good personal relationship.

4. Attorney General Merrick Garland was grilled by Republican members of Congress who questioned him on the Biden administration’s weaponization of the Department of Justice. Garland was asked about how he was unaware of various Biden-linked shell companies, and how the Hunter Biden special counsel was appointed.

To that end, more than 4,000 illegals have entered the country during a recent 24-hour period.
