House Approves Police Reform Bill Named After George Floyd NPR.org March 4, 2021 House lawmakers on Wednesday passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a reform bill that would ban chokeholds and alter so-called qualified immunity for law enforcement, which would make it easier to pursue claims of police misconduct.

How Did I Get Canceled at CPAC’s Uncancel America Event? By Jason Goodman Crowdsource the Truth March 2, 2021 How did a Trump supporting conservative social media influencer get banned from a conference that by all measures should have embraced my presence? This is a question that remains unanswered. Right around the time Donald Trump first announced his candidacy, I began to notice something.

By Caleb Ecarma Vanity Fair February 28, 2021 In the final weeks of Donald Trump’s presidency, many of the swamp leeches who’d spent four years attached to him focused on leveraging their parasitic bond to power for as much cash as possible before January 20.

Yahoo News February 28, 2021 The lobbying firm run by Trump ally Matt Schlapp brought in $750,000 in the final two weeks of 2020 from a former top Trump fundraiser and convicted fraudster who retained Schlapp to lobby—unsuccessfully—for a presidential pardon. Why it matters: The substantial sum that the former fundraiser, Georgia’s Parker “Pete” Petit, paid to Schlapp’s Cove Strategies shows how valuable connections to Donald Trump were in his final days in office for wealthy felons seeking clemency from the outgoing president. What’s new: Lobbying disclosure records filed on Thursday said Schlapp, a close informal Trump advisor, worked…
Post-Breakup, Kim Kardashian Continues to Own the Message By Raven Smith Vogue February 27, 2021 Whilst refreshing viral feta recipes in my feed and muting Meghan Markle trolls, my mind turns to Kim Kardashian. After seven years of marriage (were we ever so young?), she filed for divorce from Kanye West last week. The initial report that Kim Kardashian West was dropping the West was immediately overshadowed by the zoo of men dressed as Viking fertility art storming Capitol Hill, the announcement felt like a fever dream.
