A vehicle mileage tax could be on the table in talks about how to finance the White House’s expected multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure proposal, according to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Buttigieg, who spoke with CNBC’s Kayla Tausche on Friday, also contended that President Joe Biden’s forthcoming plans to rebuild the nation’s roads, bridges and waterways would lead to a net gain for the U.S. taxpayer and not a net outlay. “When you think about infrastructure, it’s a classic example of the kind of investment that has a return on that investment,” he said.(Snip) “I’m hearing a lot of appetite to make sure

AOC’s beef with MCC isn’t over yet. New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is alleging that shadowy political forces handpicked former news anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera to primary her last year explicitly because of her “ethnicity” as part of a “disgusting” attempt to confuse voters. Ocasio-Cortez made the blistering claim in a wide-ranging interview this week, charging that “Wall Street” and other unspecified entities selected Caruso-Cabrera for the 2020 primary battle specifically because she’s “also a Latina, down to having a hyphenated last name.” “It was just the most cynical, disgusting thing,” Ocasio-Cortez said in the interview
Duke University has launched an investigation after a printout of George Floyd's toxicology report was pinned to a Black History Month display.
The flier, which insinuated that Floyd died of a drug overdose, appeared next to a photo of him Saturday on a bulletin board on the third floor of a dormitory. Each compound in his system was underlined with pink pen and, at the top, was written: 'Mix of drugs presents in difficulty breathing! Overdose? Good Man? Use of fake currency is a felony!'(Snip)'I was honestly terrified. I remember shaking in that moment,' Manns told CNN. 'That happened right down the hall
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed Thursday legislation barring transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, an issue gaining steam in Republican-led state legislatures despite pushback from LGBTQ and business groups. The Republican governor signed SB 354, the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, shortly after it passed both chambers by wide margins. The bill was delivered to his desk Tuesday. “I have studied the law and heard from hundreds of constituents on this issue,” Mr. Hutchinson said. “I signed the law as a fan of women’s sports from basketball to soccer and including many others in which women compete successfully. This law simply

Oakland plans to start a guaranteed income program this spring for 600 residents—one of the largest such programs in the country, city officials said—as Bay Area leaders search for solutions to rising poverty and inequality in the wake of the pandemic. Through the pilot program, residents will receive $500 a month for at least 18 months with no strings attached, Mayor Libby Schaaf said at a Tuesday news conference. Checks could be in residents’ hands by this spring or summer. Low-income families—with at least one child under 18—who are Black, indigenous or people of color will be randomly selected

Novato, Calif.—Mirroring similar efforts in cities such as Stockton and Oakland, Marin County supervisors this week approved participating in a universal basic income experiment to give 125 low-income mothers of color $1,000 a month for two years. The county will spend $400,000 and the remaining $3 million will come from the Marin Community Foundation, the Marin Independent Journal reported. To qualify, the women must have a child under the age of 18. Participants will be selected at random from among 4,600 people who have already received direct cash aid from the foundation with the help of the Family Independence Initiative.
Columbia, S.C.—A South Carolina senator has a proposal to make sure no federal law can ever seize guns—make everyone over 17 who can legally own a gun a member of a militia. South Carolina’s constitution allows the governor to call up an “unorganized militia” of any “able bodied male citizens” between ages 18 and 45. State Sen. Tom Corbin’s proposal would automatically expand membership to everyone who is over 17 and could own a gun. Supporters of the bill said if everyone is a member of a militia, then they all fall under the opening clause of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

A woman shoved an Asian American City Council candidate down a Manhattan subway staircase in a random attack last week, the candidate told The Post.
Candidate Susan Lee said she was in the stairwell at the Oculus subway station when she spotted the woman staring at her. “You know she has this mischievous look on her face, and I was just thinking like, ‘Oh gosh, this isn’t good,’” Lee, 42, recalled of the March 17 incident.
“She pushed me,” she said, adding that she grabbed the handrail to brace herself. The council candidate said she isn’t sure if the woman, who appeared to be homeless,
Pfizer Inc and its German partner BioNTech SE have begun testing their COVID-19 vaccine in children under age 12. On Wednesday, Pfizer spokesperson Sharon Castillo said the first volunteers in the early-stage trial were given their first injections. The vaccine was authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in late December for those aged 16 and older.
The companies hope they will be able to expand vaccination to that age range by early 2022. The pediatric trial, which will include children as young as six months old, follows a similar one launched by Moderna Inc last week. The safety of their

'The United States now ranks 13th globally in infrastructure quality, down from 5th place in 2002,' one bullet point reads. Despite having the cheat cards, Biden was forced to correct himself after mistakenly saying the US ranked 85th in the world in infrastructure, according to the New York Post.

Civil rights leader and MSNBC host Al Sharpton threatened to accuse Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona of "supporting racism" over their approval of the Senate filibuster. "The pressure that we are going to put on Sinema and Manchin is calling [the filibuster] racist and saying that they are, in effect, supporting racism," Sharpton told Politico. "Why would they be wedded to something that has those results? Their voters need to know that." Sharpton is part of a larger push from the left to eliminate the filibuster in order to pass Democrats' election and voting

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said Thursday it was a 'total mistake' for The New York Post to be locked out of its Twitter account for tweets sharing the newspaper's report on Hunter Biden's emails.
'We made a total mistake with the New York Post, we corrected that within 24 hours,' Dorsey told House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, who had asked about that example. 'It was not to do with the content, it had to do with a hacked materials policy, we had an incorrect interpretation,' Dorsey added.

Former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell yesterday responded to the $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit that Dominion Voting Systems filed after she repeatedly accused the company of participating in an elaborate international conspiracy to deny Donald Trump his rightful victory in last year's presidential election.
