Imagine being under investigation because you want to support black students civil rights.

This story is creepy enough before you realize this dude is an anesthesiologist.

Have we ever had such a degenerate administration before?

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested: King Charles says β€˜law must take its course’ as ex-prince taken into custody – live The police raided Andrew’s Norfolk home on Thursday

By publicly distancing himself from former Prince Andrew, King Charles basically gave the police permission to further investigate.

His statement on the arrest:
"Police have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.. <>..Let me state clearly: the law must take its course."

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

I ordered French cookware from Williams Sonoma and Sur Le Table. They both promised me delivery this week. But the moment they received my payment, they informed me that delivery would be months away. That is bait and switch. They have supply chain software that shows when they can deliver.

Tricia McLaughlin is reportedly out at DHS, according to multiple sources. She’s a very close ally of Noem.

That news, plus stories like the below which are coming out daily, strongly suggest the knives are clearly out for Noem inside DHS.

Reuters: New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women.

I never thought I’d see the day.

Americans being told by the rest of the world to fight for our own democracy.

We should never have gotten here.

Keep resisting. ✊🏽

Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive.

Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list.

Trump’s Claims About Noncitizens Voting Are False. We Can Prove It. A number of states have undertaken investigations into noncitizen voting, cross-checking voter rolls with citizenship status, and found it virtually nonexistent.

Audits in Utah, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, and Georgia found a few dozen possible noncitizen registrants out of millionsβ€”and virtually no voting. Trump’s claim that noncitizens are swinging elections is false, says Cato’s Stephen Richer. #Idaho πŸ‘‡

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

This is wild.

41 DUI arrests by a Tennessee trooper. All dismissed. 22 drivers were completely sober.

He β€œresigned”. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. His personnel file doesn’t even mention the cases.

Police departments shouldn’t be in the business of shielding corrupt officers.

Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State - Bolts As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportationβ€”even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

Massachusetts has spent months delaying & denying @boltsmag.org’s public records requests on how many people it has transferred ICE during Trump as part of its formal contract with ICE.

A supervisor of records ruled last week that the state’s denials are improper; we hope to get records soon.

Trump: β€˜There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!’ "I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," wrote Trump, who is not a lawyer.

Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution.

Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
