Comer has said he would probe the younger Biden’s business dealings and look for evidence that he had compromised the president. Biden has said that he has no involvement in his son’s businesses and that his son’s previously disclosed addictions had not caused any conflicts for him. “I'm pretty sure one will come to the floor, if he doesn't resign at some point, but we're trying to avoid that,” he said. Massie, a Kentucky Republican, added that they are giving Johnson the chance to resign, although the speaker has insisted he won’t. Massie added he believes a motion to vacate — a rarely used procedural tool to remove the House speaker — will happen eventually. Austin added that the package of bills will “save lives” and that the “world is watching” what the United States does.

Conservatives don't like the CR, but most like Johnson

Rep. Hal Rogers, a Kentucky Republican who has been recovering from a car accident, appeared on the House floor in a large neck brace, and GOP Rep. Nick Langworthy of New York returned just in time to vote after leaving the Capitol for an emergency. Up until Green’s vote changed the margins and tipped the vote over the edge against Republicans, the plan to bring him back was in flux, a source familiar with the plans told CNN. Leading up to the vote, Republicans believed that Green’s absence would give them the cushion they needed if a few GOP lawmakers defected and felt confident they would be able to squeak the vote through up until the last minute. Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina also criticized GOP leadership’s strategy on the Mayorkas vote. On Tuesday, the House overwhelmingly passed a resolution to condemn Russia's abduction of Ukrainian children in the two years since the war began. Two other Republicans and two Democrats were not present for Tuesday’s vote, allowing it to narrowly pass with the three Republican defections.

Of course, been praying for him this whole time to beat cancer,” she added, referring to the House majority leader who was absent from the vote as he recovers in Louisiana from a stem cell transplant. Biden promised protecting abortion rights would be his priority if Congress sends him a bill, but Democrats would need to gain enough seats in the Senate to overcome the requirement for 60 votes to pass the legislation. The House has twice voted to expand the rights to an abortion though the medical procedure would be banned earlier than 24 weeks, when the ability of a human fetus to survive outside a woman’s uterus is thought to begin.

No Serious Problems Reported at the Polls as Americans Vote in the Midterms

A foreign aid package passed by the US House of Representatives will “exacerbate global crises,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement to CNN on Saturday. If the Senate votes to approve the TikTok legislation, it heads to the desk of Biden, who endorsed the prior version of the bill and may quickly sign any foreign aid package that includes similar language targeting TikTok. Democrats stepped in to support bringing the aid package to the floor, in a remarkable breach of custom on a key vote that paved the way for its passage. Instead of a six-month deadline, TikTok would have roughly nine months, which could be extended by President Joe Biden by 90 days if he determines there’s been progress toward a sale.

Local authorities have said that the civilian death toll exceeds 5,000, though those figures have been questioned due to the fact that Gaza is governed by Hamas. The resolution states that the House "stands with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists" and "reaffirms the United States' commitment to Israel's security." The bipartisan resolution, drafted by Republican Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas and Democratic Rep. Greg Meeks of New York, is a largely symbolic gesture.

The 316-to-94 vote cleared the way for the House to bring up the aid package, teeing up separate votes on Saturday on each of its parts. But passage of those measures, each attracting bipartisan support from different coalitions, was not in doubt, making Friday’s action the key indicator that the legislation is all but certain to prevail. The House passed a resolution Tuesday night to impeach Alejandro N. Mayorkas, the homeland security secretary, over his handling of the southwestern border.

A tense moment between McCarthy and Rep. Burchett

Democratic members shouted loudly as McCarthy began to read the resolution, causing him to stop and start several times. The vote was entirely along party lines, with the California congressman calling the resolution "false and defamatory." Democrats attempted to kill the bill from advancing but were outvoted. The House of Representatives has voted to censure Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff for his past actions while chair of the House Intelligence Committee in leading investigations into then-President Donald Trump. With the help of House Democrats, Speaker Kevin McCarthy successfully pushed forward a measure on Saturday that would keep the government funded through mid-November. With 335 in favor, it crossed the two-thirds threshold required to pass and now goes to the Senate. Sources told CNN earlier Wednesday that there was a "big push" to bring the bill to the floor once the House elected a new speaker.

House votes to censure Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff

Also, the bill has now been inserted into a larger foreign aid package, which makes it much harder for lawmakers to oppose the measure. Senate and House of Representatives take thousands of votes, some to pass bills, resolutions, nominations, and treaties, and others on procedural matters such as on cloture and other motions. This page shows the outcome of all recorded votes on the Senate floor and House floor. In a letter to colleagues earlier Wednesday, Johnson outlined his first priority will be trying to pass the remaining spending bills that have so far languished in the House one by one. The House is now voting to pass a resolution in support of Israel in the war against Hamas – the first measure to come to the floor to be passed after Speaker Mike Johnson was elected this morning following three weeks of a speakerless-House. The bill is broadly similar to a $95.3 billion aid package that passed the Senate in February, shortly after a bipartisan border deal collapsed in the face of opposition from former President Donald Trump and other congressional Republicans.

The Senate pushed its vote to after the election concerned about getting the necessary Republican votes for it to pass. "The dream scenario for the Democrats is that they maintain a majority in the House -- it’s not impossible, it’s unlikely but not impossible -- and they expand their majority in the Senate," he said. Republicans might try to link inflation to Democratic spending, the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, and the economy’s over dependence on supply lines out of China. Kosar said he would expect the GOP to propose cuts in government spending, to try to lessen dependence on goods from China and support more drilling for oil and gas in the United States. Republicans might introduce legislation that would curb practices they claim lead to voter fraud, tightening rules on voter IDs, curbs on the number of days of early voting, restrictions on absentee voting and mandatory post-election audits.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., said he'll support the CR today and wondered aloud about criticism of the bill focused on the fact that Democrats plan to support it. The tensions on Capitol Hill are hitting their peak after a long period in session. The House has been working for 10 weeks straight, an unusually long time without a break, and several of them were spent on an ugly fight over the speaker's gavel.

But, the Colorado lawmaker said the resolution is likely to pass at some point when House Majority Leader Steve Scalise is back on the Hill. He was not present for the vote on Tuesday because he is still recovering in Louisiana from a stem cell transplant. Also missing the vote were long-time Ukraine aid opponent Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who said in a statement on Tuesday that he supported the package. The Senate passed the $95 billion package by a sweeping bipartisan margin on Tuesday, with 15 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the legislation. Should that happen in votes set for Saturday afternoon, the Senate was expected to quickly pass the measure, and President Biden has said he would sign it into law. Similarly the House passed a bi-partisan bill codifying same-sex marriage in July, worried that the right would not withstand the new conservative faction on the Supreme Court.

There’s no love lost between McCarthy and the eight Republicans who voted to oust him. Particularly on a day when they’re expected to allow the new speaker to pass his own clean CR without similar repercussions for his job. The federal government will shut down and be unable to continue paying its workers starting Saturday unless Congress passes a new funding bill.

House lawmakers have once again passed legislation that could lead to a nationwide TikTok ban, renewing a massive threat to the company’s US operations. "I led the first impeachment of Donald Trump, for one of the most egregious presidential abuses of power in our history, and I led a trial which resulted in the first bipartisan vote to remove a president in history," he said. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called Schiff to the well of the chamber as he read the censure resolution out loud.

With control of both the House and Senate, Republicans would have more chance to impede Biden’s initiatives, an appealing move with a presidential election two years off. There would be pressure to introduce measures popular with the Republican base, even if Democrats employ the filibuster, the Senate rule that requires 60 votes to pass most legislation. The challenge for House Republicans is they still have eight more spending bills to pass including two that have been stuck in committee because of disagreements within GOP ranks. In his letter to colleagues, Johnson set out an aggressive time table for passing the bills, but the issue will be finding a way to pass the legislation in just a narrow GOP majority.

"US security aid [to Israel] constitutes a dangerous escalation and aggression against the Palestinian people," Abu Rudeineh added. "You honor me with your enmity. You flatter me with this falsehood. You, who are the authors of a big lie about the last election, must condemn the truth tellers and I stand proudly before you," Schiff said on the House floor. Johnson alluded to the chaos that paralyzed the House and distracted from the GOP agenda.

Speaker Johnson will need Democratic support for two-step funding bill

Tuesday's failed vote also casts doubt on whether a potential effort to impeach President Joe Biden will succeed, Kinzinger, a CNN senior political commentator, argued. Despite rumors swirling that House Majority Leader Steve Scalise – who would be a key vote – could be back tomorrow, his office denies that. The surprise maneuver by House Democrats that sunk the Alejandro Mayorkas impeachment vote came at the last minute. The White House is calling Tuesday night's failed vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas a "baseless, unconstitutional impeachment stunt." Sponsored by Democratic Rep. Susan Wild of Pennsylvania, the resolution holds the Russian government "responsible for the wrongful and illegal kidnapping of children from Ukraine" and states that doing so "amounts to genocide."

House will bring Mayorkas impeachment back up when they have the votes, GOP leadership says

In March, House lawmakers approved a bill that would give TikTok roughly six months to sell or the app would be prohibited from US app stores and from “internet hosting services” that support it. Ahead of the vote, Schiff thanked his GOP colleagues for offering the resolution. Schiff, who gained national recognition during his participation in the Trump probes — including as lead manager during Trump's first impeachment trial — is a frequent target of Republicans and Trump himself.

Republicans needed a net gain of five seats in the House to achieve the 218-seat majority and a net gain of one to seize control of the Senate. The Senate has been in Democratic hands because Vice President Kamala Harris can cast a tie-breaking vote, in what has been one of the longest stretches of a split Senate in modern times. He's already a lame duck, he can't raise money, everyone knows it,” Greene claimed. “When faced with the question of whether to provide offensive aid to further this conflict, we believe there is a moral imperative to find another path," the statement said. The statement also called for a ceasefire in Gaza, more humanitarian aid to be delivered, and peace talks to begin. Nineteen members of the House Progressive Caucus who voted against further aid to Israel said Saturday that “we make ourselves complicit in this tragedy” if Congress continues to supply military assistance amid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Russian Foreign Ministry says US foreign aid package will "exacerbate global crises"

Senate Republicans are trying to use the fact that there is no pending business before the Senate — because they’re waiting for the House to pass this CR so they can start considering it — to try to force consideration of the House-passed Israel aid bill. The bill now heads to the Senate, which is expected to send it to President Joe Biden’s desk by Friday night to avert a shutdown. J Street, liberal pro-Israel group, also reportedly threatened to rescind their endorsement of any Democrat who did not support the resolution. It was the first legislative action that the House took after electing Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana as the next speaker of the House, ending the lower chamber's 3 weeks of deadlock. Three Republicans — Colorado Rep. Ken Buck, Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher and California Rep. Tom McClintock — joined the Democrats in voting against the resolution to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Homeland Security Chair Mark Green said he is "frustrated" that House Republicans failed to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, but said Republicans will vote again when Majority Leader Steve Scalise is back and pass it.

These 18 senators voted against Ukraine and Israel aid

That means its operations and funding don’t stop when the government shuts down. House Speaker Mike Johnson told CNN earlier Tuesday that he believed House Republicans had enough votes to impeach, but several Republican lawmakers voted against the resolution. After facing a stunning defeat on the House floor, GOP leadership is signaling they will try again to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas once they have the votes secured. The Republican votes against the resolution come as most of the party has gradually turned against providing further US military aid to the besieged eastern European country. A first attempt to impeach Mr. Mayorkas failed last week after the same three Republicans broke with their party and voted against the impeachment.

It will need to come up as a suspension vote — an expedited process that requires a two-thirds majority for passage. The members who ousted McCarthy also told reporters that they have no regrets now about ousting McCarthy. GOP Rep. Stephanie Bice of Oklahoma is considering a run for conference vice chair – the leadership role previously occupied by now-Speaker Mike Johnson, according to her spokesperson. Johnson ignored a question as he was walking out about whether he was committed to passing a supplemental aid bill for Israel and Ukraine before the next CR passes in early 2024.

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy, had an odd run-in with the former speaker in the halls this morning. Several conservative House Republicans who oppose the CR criticized the bill for not having any spending cuts, but most of them avoided putting the blame on Johnson himself. Then, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., tried to start a physical fight with a committee witness, the president of the Teamsters union, Sean O’Brien.

A tricky proposition for many Republicans, who have long argued that abortion rights is an issue that should be left to the states, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina proposed national legislation to ban abortions after 15 weeks and proponents could force a debate on the issue. Among the first could be allocating funds to finish the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, he said. “Republicans may just block it with the idea that they’ll come back and re-legislate everything in January if they win one or both chambers,” she said. The Jan. 6 committee’s mandate expires at the end of the current Congress and it would need to be re-convened to continue. The committee on Oct. 21 subpoenaed testimony and documents from Trump, but if Republicans win the House they could be expected to disband the committee and end the investigation into the attack on the Capitol. The House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy instead threatened telecommunications companies that complied with subpoenas of phone records.

House conservatives are signaling they’ll give the newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson some runway and flexibility as the House barrels toward a November 17 spending deadline to fund the government. With a handful of conservatives rebelling against the stopgap funding bill, it means Johnson, R-La., must receive help from Democrats to get it through the chamber. After trashing the idea of a two-step strategy to fund the government, House Democrats signaled Monday that they are open to backing Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan, significantly lowering the threat of a painful shutdown at the end of the week.

But in October House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy cautioned against using impeachment as a political tool and said he did not believe any Democrats warranted such a step. Several swing-district House Republicans praised Speaker Mike Johnson for pushing forward with the foreign aid bills and attacked his detractors. Zakharova said that in addition to the package's "military aid to the Kyiv regime," the bills would support Taiwan's "interference in China’s internal affairs" and allow Israel to continue "a direct path toward escalating unprecedented aggravation in the region." The House on Saturday passed a key package that provides aid to Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific region, while also addressing GOP legislative priorities, such as sanctions on Iran and a potential ban on TikTok.

We've gone through a little bit of character building, and you know what has produced more strength, more perseverance and a lot of hope, and that's what we're about to deliver to the American people,” Johnson said. GOP Rep. Doug LaMalfa told CNN the threshold needs to be raised to at least 25 members so it's not just one member bringing forward a motion to oust the speaker like GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz did with McCarthy. "I think one that everybody would agree on is that if there is a vacate that the current speaker does not step down until a new speaker is elected," Crenshaw said.

The House is expected to vote on a resolution in support of Israel on Wednesday afternoon, according to a notice from the House Democratic whip. “The door to the speaker’s office now is open to the members and to the constituents, not just the lobbyists,” Rep. Matt Rosendale told reporters. “I have never been comfortable with CRs (continuing resolutions), but it … is going to be difficult for Mike and anyone who steps into that job, but I think he is going to do a great job,” Rep. Eli Crane, a Republican, told CNN.

Mr. Mayorkas is the first sitting cabinet secretary to be indicted by the House. Republicans have produced no evidence that Mr. Mayorkas committed a crime or acts of corruption. They accused him of willfully refusing to enforce border laws and breaching the public trust.

The market was taken down in 2013 by an FBI investigation. Its administrator, Ross Ulbricht—using the online alias “Dread Pirate Roberts”—was eventually sentenced to life in prison without parole. At the time of its closing, the platform had nearly 900,000 users, of which more than a third—roughly 326,000—were active. Like other dark web markets, it was accessible only on anonymity browsers like Tor and I2P.

But Dutch police had already taken over Hansa’s market operations, which meant the newly displaced AlphaBay users were busted through Hansa instead. This is according to a review of black-market websites and interviews with dark-web users and experts who track the industry by Columbia University’s Brown Institute for Media Innovation and MuckRock. A select few of the dark-net vendor accounts identified were sourced to White House Market, according to court documents.

This Braided Halter Dress, deemed by one customer as “great for travel,” is made from comfortable cotton fabric and features a braided tie belt that cinches at the waist. It’s made with stretchy fabric containing spandex for a comfortable daytime look that can be worn with casual sneakers. If your closet is already full of solid-colored styles, this bright, floral-patterned option may just be the outfit your travel dress lineup has been missing. One beneficiary of White House Market’s decision to close up shop might be the newly rebooted AlphaBay, now run by the admin “DeSnake.” DeSnake was one of the admins for the original AlphaBay but escaped prosecution. In a September interview with WIRED, DeSnake wrote that he reappeared to reestablish AlphaBay’s popularity as the go-to online black market.

But weeks into the market’s relaunch, AlphaBay was still struggling to attract users. Undeterred, in his interview DeSnake said that dark web markets typically gain an influx of new users only after another popular market shuts down or is busted by law enforcement. For a go-to dress that will fit any occasion, this satin slip dress can be worn with a jacket or styled on its own.

Whether WHM and its administrators are under ongoing criminal investigation is an open question. These trousers are a must if you’re in need of pants that are equally stylish and comfortable, and the velvet fabric adds a festive, winter-ready touch to your wardrobe. They’re available in deep blue and burgundy red, and at 30 percent off, they are now discounted to $77. My most recent vacation confirmed my belief that I’m the ultimate overpacker. In fact, I had an entire suitcase filled with clean clothes upon my return — lesson learned.

Even as WHM facilitated the sale of illegal drugs and other items, the site admins also abided by and enforced their own brand of ethics. Engstrom’s indictment, announced by the US Department of Justice on Tuesday, also provides a window into how investigators trace even the most careful dark web transactions. Engstrom allegedly used a cryptocurrency-to-cash exchange called BitLiquid to convert his earnings to US dollars. He exchanged Monero for Paxos Standard, a type of tethered cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar, and then used BitLiquid to exchange that for cash. The DEA agents on Engstrom’s trail, meanwhile, used toll records to determine when Engstrom visited BitLiquid on his phone and monitored the BitLiquid wallet for activity in those time frames.

One transaction that lined up—an exchange of $37,000 in Paxos Standard for $36,900 in cash—automatically triggered a currency transaction report, or CTR, because it was over $10,000. That CTR allowed investigators to trace Engstrom’s deposits to his personal crypto wallets totaling $3 million—money that investigators believe come from dark web cocaine sales. The first such modern black market to demand public attention was Silk Road—a $1.2 billion operation at its peak. Silk Road launched in 2011, serving more than 100,000 customers and popularizing the use of Bitcoin in black-market transactions.

Christin, whose team collects the data used extensively by the UN, puts the upper bound closer to $1 billion, since his team can only track a fraction of all sales taking place on these platforms. That final listing matches the site’s theme, which features Walter White from Breaking Bad on the banner. But unlike Walter White’s fictional operation, this one had a global presence, with vendors and buyers stationed all around the world, although most transactions were conducted in English. Despite never reaching the peak trading volumes of its more-famous cousins Silk Road and AlphaBay, White House Market had established itself as one of the most popular—and secure—markets on the dark web.

So when WHM unexpectedly closed on October 1, it came as a shock to the platform’s dedicated user base. Tropical vacations are great, but I just spent an entire summer sweating and reapplying sunscreen like it was my day job. I have no interest in doing it all over again, even if that picture includes a white sand beach and free-flowing Pina Coladas.

While the magenta color is almost sold out, black is fully in stock, and it can “be easily dressed up or down,” per one shopper. It’s also “a great wardrobe builder” since it can be accessorized with boots, sneakers, a blazer, or on its own. When packing for a trip, I love choosing pieces that can easily be worn for a day tour around the city and then dressed up for dinner out. It pairs well with casual jeans but can be leveled up by styling with trousers or extra accessories.

And while other DNMs balked at mandating complex security protocols for users at the time, buyers did not seem to mind playing by WHM’s rules. Other markets swelled to fill the vacuum, chief among them AlphaBay. It was established in late 2014, and it encouraged (but did not mandate) the use of Monero. By July 2017, AlphaBay was roughly 10 times bigger than Silk Road ever was. Around this time, one of AlphaBay’s administrators, Alexandre Cazes, made a series of mistakes, exposing his identity.

Don’t wait too long to expand your travel wardrobe, especially while you can score 25 percent off on these full-priced styles until Sunday. This sleeveless maxi dress combines both a fitted bodice and a flowy skirt for a red carpet-ready look. One customer wore it for a formal night on a cruise and shared that they’re “always looking for the perfect red dress, and this fits the bill.” Several other shoppers mentioned how “flattering” it is. For a flowy style that can be worn in casual and formal settings, this Kimono Sleeve Smocked Waist Dress is a versatile option to pack.

Operation Bayonet, a multinational law enforcement operation, pounced and shut down AlphaBay, arresting Cazes, who was found dead in his cell weeks later. It’s unclear how much money WHM’s founders made since starting the site in August 2019, but they charged a 4 percent commission on all sales via an almost-untraceable cryptocurrency called Monero. The few public references to the website are on Reddit forums or specialty tech blogs. But among users of the dark web, WHM was, for years, the go-to online marketplace for illegal drugs and fraudulent credit cards. Although no platform has emerged as the go-to DNM in the wake of White House Market’s demise, cannabis, meth, and cocaine vendors on WHM flooded Dread (a dark web Reddit-like forum) to announce where their buyers could now find them.

Also, if the “what to wear” the item with feature is available, then it’s well hidden as is the option to write a review. Shopping online should not be challenging nor frustrating, it should be fun. It should also not take customers an inordinate amount of time to learn the app, rather it should take no time at all. This company gets thousands of my dollars per year, yet they never seem to listen to any of their customer feedback never mind mine.

Don't worry, you can sign up today and still be privy to these savings. Preferably ones where I can sit in front of a crackling fireplace or admire the foliage. Luckily, White House Black Market is hosting a massive sale just in time for Labor Day with discounts on long-sleeve styles, transitional jackets, and fall-ready pants for your autumn getaway. White House Market also led to other markets mandating PGP encryption and going walletless, says Eileen Ormsby, a lawyer and author of several dark web true-crime books. Those precautions disincentivize platforms and vendors from using so-called exit scams—where an established business stops shipping orders while receiving payment for new orders. White House Market also insisted that all users shift to Monero for transactions, making them close to untraceable.

In this release, we have resolved a critical bug that was causing some customers to be locked out after 30 days of inactivity. This is the new breed of dark net markets—one that will make the next big international takedown much harder to pull off. Other major contemporaries like Dream faced their own troubles. Dream’s founder had been arrested by US authorities in August 2017. Beleaguered by DDoS attacks and operational security issues, the platform finally shut down in 2019.

To make it even more versatile, layer it under a sweater to create a casual daytime outfit. Shoppers love the fit, saying “the dress is form-fitting without being tight, flattering without being showy.” In short, it’s an effortless holiday party piece. Sometimes, an occasion calls for fancier clothing, but that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice comfort or bring a dress that seems to acquire a new wrinkle every minute. I love that this simple long-sleeve dress is made with matte jersey fabric and a smocked waistline that is nearly impossible to crease, making it the ideal travel piece.

One reviewer praised its versatility, sharing that there are “so many ways of styling this from super casual to dressy,” while nearly every other review called out the top for its “flattering” shape. Finding the right turtleneck can be harder than you’d imagine, especially if you want it to be layerable, comfortable, and available in a variety of colors. But even the strictest on-platform security protocols can’t necessarily keep DNM users out of the hands of law enforcement. We sorted through the brand's stunning selection to find the best vacation dresses, each of which have earned high ratings from shoppers for being great for travel. What's more, they can also be easily transported in your luggage wrinkle-free.

The light material and stretch allow it to fit and fall perfectly on your arms, while the cuffs and collar give it a classic feel. The brand has huge deals on comfy clothes like cardigans, dresses made with wrinkle-free matte jersey fabric, lightweight tunics like this one for 78 percent off, and stylish jackets that can be worn over turtlenecks in the cold or basic T-shirts when the weather warms up. Prices start at just $15 and are too deeply discounted to overlook, so shop some of my top picks below before the sale ends on January 7. Christin says this moral stance underscores a truism for how black markets exist amid the threat posed by law enforcement. If your vacation itinerary includes heading somewhere romantic, this eyelet midi dress will fit the bill without sacrificing comfort for the fashion points. Be prepared for this dress to “get you a ton of compliments,” just as it did for one reviewer when they wore it on a recent cruise.
