A Senate report on President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election offers new details about an Oval Office confrontation between Trump and the Justice Department, revealing the extent to which government lawyers threatened to resign en masse if the president removed his attorney general.
The interim report by the Senate Judiciary Committee was issued Thursday. While Republicans on the panel offered their counter-findings, arguing that Trump did not subvert the justice system to remain in power, the majority report by the Democrats offers the most detailed account to date of the struggle inside the administration’s final, desperate days.

Trump was desperate in those days as he tried to reclaim the power he had lost.  Now he's determined, because his lies are still believed within the GOP voting base.

More than 170,000 migrants crossed the border in March — many coming from countries still grappling with high infection rates — but the Border Patrol is conducting no testing for the coronavirus during the several days that the newly arrived migrants are in U.S. custody except in cases where migrants show obvious symptoms.

Yes but if you watched the hearing, that was all twisted and blown apart. I almost came on here and was going to criticize Trump..... Until I did more research, watched the whole thing...as usual....

School board members in the eight districts will have their salaries withheld. That’s already happened in Alachua and Broward counties — the first districts to defy DeSantis and implement mask mandates. But the combined amount withheld — over $500,000 for both districts, according to officials — was replaced with grants from the U.S. Education Department. President Biden said last month that Supporting America’s Families and Educators (SAFE) grants will restore 100 percent of pay for school workers who are punished for “doing the right thing.”

I guess DeSantis is comfortable with authoritarian tactics.

Watch the whole thing. Of course you'll only get one side from WP. Propaganda rag. 

Look into "Ground News". It has all reporting from left, center and right perspectives. It's quite funny how both sides word tge headlines!

The link I offered was simply a way for you to actually watch or listen to that public Senate hearing on the January 6th violence. 

Here's a cspan LINK so you don't have to open a link from a "propaganda rag" like the Washington Post. LOL

I watched the entire Judiciary meeting yesterday. WP is not a good news source.  You're the "propaganda " advisor,  I thought you'd know that. I also thought you would never post a reference to WP either. Desperate times I guess. 

I'll watch the vid you posted for fun though later.

Please, it's confusing when you attach your reply to the poster's message.  According to Fox news, 30% of the immigrants at the border refuse to take the vaccine - they seem to be no more or no less stupid than Americans.  What I don't get it that Biden is not mandating the vaccine for them when he mandates it for others.  They, like everyone else, can practice their autonomy by leaving the country if they don't want to take the vaccine., IMHO.  The conditions they live in only exacerbate the spread of Covid infection.  If he can mandate it for Americans, he can certainly mandate it for people who wish to become Americans.

Absolutely. It's his responsibility to ensure these people are vaccinated as well. He needs to get control over the border.
