If there was any progress that started under Trump, Biden is grinding it to a halt. We’ve seen Biden frequently interrupt or cancel projects from the Trump administration. That includes the direly needed border wall.
He’s also canceled projects that meant thousands of jobs, including the Keystone XL Pipeline. Well, add this to Joe’s “destroy America in four short years” list. Texas needed improvements to a major highway system. They were in the process of doing just that. So, Biden put a stop to it.

The federal government has accused the City of Portland and its police force of failing to abide by the provisions of a 2014 police reforms settlement. The settlement called for reforms to the PPB’s training, oversight, supervision, and use-of-force policies, as well as finding ways to conduct investigations into allegations of police misconduct more quickly and restructuring police crisis intervention services, The Oregonian reported. U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys have demanded the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) produce a specific correction plan regarding how they will report, analyze and investigate use-of-force incidents, according to The Oregonian.

Notorious anti-cop civil rights attorney Lee Merritt announced Saturday that he’s going to run against Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton in the next election. Merritt made the announcement in a video posted to Twitter on March 20. “I am running for Attorney General of Texas,” the video was captioned. “Texas deserves an attorney general that will fight for the constitutional rights of all citizens.” Merritt filmed the video outside with his dog at sunrise and said he was doing so because he had “accidentally made an announcement yesterday that I was running for Texas attorney general.”

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday said that New York Police Department (NYPD) officers should confront people who say mean or offensive things even if their conduct isn’t criminal.

The mayor encouraged those who felt they were victims of discrimination or hate speech to report it to the police. “We need to know about it immediately,” de Blasio told reporters.

U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) sent a letter to newly-sworn in U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland asking for his support to investigate the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) background check of U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh before he was confirmed.
Whitehouse told Garland in the letter that he thought the FBI’s investigation into allegations of misconduct by Kavanaugh was “fake” and compromised by partisan politics, CBS News reported. “It cannot and should not be the policy of the FBI to not follow up on serious allegations of misconduct during background check investigations,” Whitehouse wrote.

The caterer contracted to feed thousands of National Guard troops providing security at the U.S. Capitol defended its food service Thursday, claiming that none of the cases of reported gastrointestinal illness among soldiers have been linked to the company.
"No cases of foodborne illness can be directly tied to this vendor," said Maria Stagliano, a spokeswoman for Sardi's Catering in College Park, Maryland. The response follows a Wednesday announcement by the National Guard that at least 50 service members have been sickened with gastrointestinal issues after complaints that they were served bad food while on duty guarding the Capitol.

Migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border on Tuesday were photographed wearing T-shirts in support of President Biden at the San Ysidro crossing port in Tijuana, Baja California state. One apparent migrant held up a poster that read, "Biden, please let us in!" Prospective U.S. residents and progressive Democrats are hoping the new president will implement more lenient immigration policies than former President Trump, though some politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., have expressed concern with Biden's use of migrant holding facilities at the border.

A politician vying to become New York City’s next mayor said the city’s defunded and understaffed police force is responsible for skyrocketing crime rates and needs to be held responsible for not solving more cases. Andrew Yang, a staunch Democrat and Universal Basic Income (UBI) supporter, said he decided to run for mayor after his failed presidential campaign last year, according to Newsweek. A cornerstone of Yang’s latest campaign focuses on skyrocketing crime rates that he claims police are simply refusing to combat.

President Joe Biden blamed former military and law enforcement officers for the growth of white supremacy in the United States during a town hall in Milwaukee on Tuesday. President Biden was asked during the Feb. 16 session how his administration would address the threat to the United States from “Americans who embrace white supremacy and conspiracies that align with it.” “It is complex, it’s wide-ranging and it’s real,” the President answered. “You may — I got involved in politics to begin with because of civil rights and opposition to white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan.”

Weymouth, MA – Some students at Weymouth High School started a petition to ban the display of the Thin Blue Line flag in any form on their campus because it offends them, but the students who support law enforcement are fighting back and say they are doing it in memory of murdered Weymouth Police Officer Michael Chesna. Many students and staff at Weymouth High School have shown their support for the fallen hero who was killed in the line of duty on July 15, 2018 when a suspect bashed him in the head with a rock and then shot the officer in the head.
