Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) latest Washington headache fits in her purse. Federal agents seized her cellphone during Monday’s search of her Washington home.

Washington normally treats a lost cellphone as an emergency.&nbsp;]]>Wed, 14 Oct 2026 20:50:00 -0400<![CDATA[David Manney]]>https://pjmedia.com/david-manney/2026/10/14/ilhan-omar-has-a-new-problem-and-it-fits-in-a-pocket-n4958328Trump Targets Permit Delays As America’s Power Grid Faces Growing Risks<![CDATA[President Donald Trump is pushing federal agencies to clear the path for pipelines and power lines as Congress continues debating energy-permitting reform.
