The Senate is digging into partisan violence today, with conservatives making the case that most political violence comes from the left. The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution hosted several voices, including The Daily Wire's own Michael Knowles.

Even an attack by Antifa that targeted me personally, as well as conservative college students for our political views, appeared in official records and data sets as nothing more than obstructing law enforcement. It turns out the left commits relatively little political violence when you don't count the political violence that the left commits.

Jamaica has been slammed by the strongest storm in the island's recorded history. Hurricane Melissa made landfall at noon today and has already caused multiple deaths. The category five monster storm has clocked wind speeds of 185 miles per hour, strong enough to strip leaves from trees and level even well-built structures.

Officials warned of storm surges of 20 feet on the coasts, as well as widespread inland flooding from torrential rains. The storm system is expected to weaken slightly to a category four by the time it hits Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

The Trump administration reached a deal with Japan on rare earth minerals on Tuesday and unveiled a list of projects included in a $550 billion investment proposal stemming from a July trade agreement.

Chapter 4: What political violence issues are being discussed in the Senate?

Though they also wanted him unshackled, Judge Graff said that was too much. But the high-profile nature of the case, the judge said, played a role in his ruling. He said, quote, the case has attracted extraordinary public and media attention. Images of Mr. Robinson in jail clothing are likely to circulate widely and influence prospective jurors.

Given the scale of that publicity, the risk of prejudice is significant.

As the government shutdown continues, one Democratic senator notably struggled to defend his party's demands to reopen the government. In a fiery exchange on CNBC yesterday, Squawk Box host Joe Kernan pressed Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego on the Democrats' supposed focus on extending Obamacare subsidies.

The subsidies were originally introduced as an emergency measure during COVID and are set to expire this year. Democrats have made this a sticking point to negotiations to reopen the government. Kernan noted that funding the subsidies for one additional year would cost roughly $40 billion.

But the current Democratic proposal to end the shutdown reportedly includes $1.5 trillion in additional spending. Here's Gallego.

335.016 - 353.801 Unknown

You're asking for $1.5 trillion? I'm sorry, are you an insurance broker? I'm sorry, are you an insurance broker? Are you an insurance broker? That's not germane to this. Senator, are you an insurance broker? Are you an insurance broker? No, but I actually understand why I would first go talk to them, right?

New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she thought socialists chanting tax the rich at a rally were actually saying let's go bills. Daily Wire senior editor Virginia Kruda has more.

364.143 - 381.325 Unknown

In a moment ripped straight from the sidelines at Talladega, the birthplace of Let's Go Brandon, Governor Kathy Hochul claimed on Monday that when a crowd of New Yorkers began chanting Tax the Rich at a rally for mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani, all she had heard was Let's Go Bills.

381.305 - 401.194 Unknown

The governor gave the implausible explanation when she was asked about the chanting and whether she would stand firm on not raising taxes, despite Mamdani's repeated calls for higher taxes on wealthy New Yorkers and on corporations that do business in the city, whether or not they are located within the city limits. Here's the exchange. I couldn't hear what they were chanting.
