Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Monday attacked the American Rescue Plan that passed the Senate over the weekend -- but he quickly faced backlash.

Specifically, Cotton attacked the bill for sending $1,400 relief checks to prisoners, despite the fact that the CARES Act that passed with Republican support in 2020 also sent prisoners checks.

In an event that human rights groups are calling "Bloody Sunday," at least nine left-wing activists and labor leaders were executed at their homes and offices this past weekend during a series of coordinated raids carried out jointly by the military and police in four provinces in the Calabarzon region of the Philippines, just two days after President Rodrigo Duterte ordered security forces to "finish off" communists in the country.

"I've told the military and the police that if they find themselves in an armed encounter with the communist rebels, kill them, make sure you really kill them and finish them off if they are alive," Duterte said Friday. "Just make sure to return their bodies to their respective families."

Writing for Above The Law, attorney Mark Herrmann explained that he is of two minds as to what Donald Trump's legal future holds -- with multiple investigations being launched in multiple cities -- but admitted that, should any trial reach a jury, the ex-president may not like the end result.

Aside from a possible federal investigation into his role in inciting the Jan. 6th insurrection that led to multiple deaths and over $300 million in damages to the Capitol building, Trump is also facing investigations by Manhattan's district attorney, New York's attorney general, the District of Columbia district attorney and Fulton County (Georgia) district attorney Fani Willis for election meddling.
