Supreme Court law clerks are being asked to turn over their personal cell phone records and sign affidavits as the search ramps up for the person who leaked the draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade.Language of the affidavits and what the scope of the cell phone search will be are not yet clear, sources familiar with the efforts told CNN – but the potential of handing over their personal devices have clerks exploring their options, including hiring outside counsel. Considering the crack down on law clerks, it's likely the court has not yet been successful in determining the source of the breach.

A California task force has released a report calling for 'comprehensive reparations' for African American residents, that include free four-year college, payouts, and raising the minimum wage in predominantly black industries, such as agricultural. The more than 500-page document consists of 13 chapters and breaks down reparation suggestions for the eligible black community in California to compensate for the 'racial terror' they've endured. The task force voted in March to limit reparations to descendants of slaves, overruling reparations advocates who wanted to expand compensation to all black people in the US.
As inflation has been knocking the wind out of Democrats' midterm strategy, the Biden White House has turned to pop culture icons and TikTok influencers to drum up support among its key voter base - young people. And while strategists say that such forays into the world of celebrity -- like bringing K-pop group BTS to the White House -- often deliver a momentary boost, even young voters are not soon to forget that everyday goods are being priced out of their budget. Biden, a self-professed K-Pop fan, invited the global supergroup to the White House Tuesday to talk about combatting Asian hate crimes.
Former First Lady and ex-presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton stepped out on the town Wednesday for the first time since her campaign attorney was acquitted of lying to the FBI when sending agents dirt on Donald Trump's alleged links to a bank backed by Moscow.Clinton, 74, was seen walking the streets of New York City on Wednesday, wearing a long, colorful striped coat that ran down to her knees, as well as black pants and blue high heels.She was seen wearing a black KN95 facemask as she walked outside, flanked by a Secret Service agent.At one point, Clinton could be seen talking to a young supporter who
Former Democratic Kentucky state Rep. Charles Booker appeared to be pinning his hopes to defeat incumbent Sen. Rand Paul (R) in the November election on race-baiting in a new campaign ad so misleading USA Today fact-checked it.Posted to his social media accounts Wednesday, the new ad from Booker’s campaign begins with a content warning due to its “strong imagery.”It then opens on a noose dangling from a tree and then in front of the U.S. Capitol before later appearing wrapped around the politician’s neck as he proclaims, “The pain of our past persists to this day.”“In Kentucky, like many states throughout the South, lynching was a tool of terror.
Kathleen Buhle said she finally has "total control over my life" five years after her 24-year marriage with President Joe Biden’s son Hunter ended.The ex-wife of the man, who is now at the center of an investigation surrounding his laptop, said her marriage was one rocked by addiction, infidelity, and shame, according to excerpts from her book If We Break published Wednesday by People."My greatest shame was feeling like my identity was not my own," Buhle, 53, said, according to the interview. "It was in writing this book that I realized probably the heaviest weight was that I first had to forgive myself for not believing in myself."

Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris on Wednesday addressed the country on the purportedly dire threat posed by climate change. In the middle of her speech, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Watch: (Video) “And I remember watching in the Oakland Hills, Northern California that the the landscape turning from green to brown, and everyone from my mother, our teachers, the radio DJs at KDIA,” she said and cackled loudly. “Lucky 13… saying how important it was to conserve water.”Then, the vice president turned to the threats of droughts and water shortages,
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday struggled to answer simple questions on inflation. “When are you guys going to admit that you were wrong about inflation?” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre after peppering her with questions about the baby formula shortage.
“No easy questions today, huh?” Jean-Pierre shot back. “The Treasury Secretary said that she was wrong, so why isn’t anybody here at the White House–” Doocy said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday told a gun control rally that Democrats will plan to push legislation banning 'assault weapons,' in what would be the most aggressive response so far to last week's elementary school massacre that killed 19 children.Republicans have signaled their opposition to restricting the general availability of guns - and some opponents say there is no workable definition for 'assault rifles.'But with the nation once again wondering why America must suffer so many mass shootings, politicians on both sides are under pressure to act.Speaking at an anti-gun violence event in her home town of San Francisco, Pelosi reeled off a long list of actions.
Monica Lewinsky, 48, likened the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial to 'courtroom porn' in a scathing Vanity Fair op-ed published before the verdict.In the piece, the former White House intern turned television personality said that viewers who tuned in to the blockbuster court-case are 'all guilty' for participating in the 'tawdry' spectacle.'We have become so attuned to this narrow, cynical cycle of social media encounters that we consider the trial not tragic or pathetic, but as a pure car wreck: accessible, tawdry, and immediately gratifying,' Lewinsky wrote.
During a campaign event on May 21, Texas Democrat gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke expressed his belief that Americans who own AR-15s should not be able to keep them.

Officials in the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) have released reports that squarely place the rate of inflation on President Biden’s stimulus efforts during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The CBO notes that President Biden is culpable for the record-high inflation creating undue pressure on America’s workforce in its latest annual report. The nonpartisan CBO report also says that Biden’s preferred fix, increasing taxes, will worsen the economy.

As we reported earlier, Michael Sussmann was found not guilty of lying to the FBI, despite the evidence that he was working for the Clinton campaign and that he told FBI General Counsel James Baker that he was not working for any client.
That raised questions as to how, given the evidence, you get a not guilty verdict in this case? Now, part of the issue may have been judicial rulings that hindered Special Counsel John Durham’s case to some degree, as I noted. The other part may have been you likely started out with an unfavorable jury, to begin with, in D.C., but then, in this case, you also seemed
A high school in a Chicago is implementing a race-based grading system “to adjust classroom grading scales to account for skin color or ethnicity of its students.”
The move is necessary, advocates say, because “traditional grading practices perpetuate inequities,” a slide used in a presentation said.
Students, depending on their race, will not be held accountable for missing class, misbehaving in school, or for failing to turn in assignments. (snip) “Teachers may unintentionally let non-academic factors—like student behavior or whether a student showed up to virtual class—interfere with their final evaluation of students,” Sullivan said.
Washington—A federal jury on Tuesday found former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann not guilty of lying to the FBI — finding special counsel John Durham did not prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt. The verdict by a jury in heavily Democratic-leaning DC, came midway through the second day of deliberations following a two-week trial on a single count of making false statements to a federal agent. Durham’s prosecution team unsuccessfully sought to prove that Sussmann deliberately lied to then-FBI general counsel James Baker by claiming not to be acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign and an internet executive when the two met in 2016.
University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) professor and MSNBC contributor Anthea Butler suggested that Texas police didn’t respond sooner to the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde because they “didn’t give a damn” about a school filled with mostly “brown kids.”
“So since no one else will ask, I will. Did those children die because most of them were Mexican American and the police didn’t give a damn about a school w predominately brown kids? I mean, because it’s Texas.. and if you think everyone who isn’t white is illegal,” Butler tweeted on Friday.
The UPenn professor has since deleted her tweet,
George Will on Biden's 'achievement'
38 replies
George Will’s recent column reviewing the first 500 days of the Biden presidency includes praise for the president’s “deft diplomacy” and “stunning achievement” in the administration’s response to Ukraine. According to Will, Biden’s diplomacy is substantially responsible for nudging Germany to play a larger geopolitical role and persuading Finland to join NATO, thus extending the alliance’s reach to more than 800 miles of Russia’s border. Biden, he writes, has revised the concept of the West, but Will writes that Biden’s achievement will not earn him political dividends because “what Americans usually want in foreign policy is as little as possible.”

Last year, the United Methodist Church accepted Isaac Simmons, who regularly preaches dressed as a drag queen under the name Ms. Penny Cost, as a candidate for ordination. Since that time, Simmons, who serves as an associate pastor at Hope United Methodist Church in Bloomington, Illinois, has challenged basic theological concepts, projecting a worldview where divinity rests not in God but in queerness. In a church preparing to split over LGBTQ issues, the drag queen pastor, who embraces queer theology while barely attempting to plaster on the basic tenets of Christian theology, has become a lightning rod. Conservatives argue that Simmons’ role as a celebrated figure
Those flying throughout the United States may soon have to put their masks back on, as the Department of Justice has filed an appeal of an April decision that ended the unpopular mask mandate on planes and public transit. The Centers for Disease Control had first implemented the mandate in February 2021 amid rising COVID cases, but as the number of cases started to drastically decline the mandate became unpopular among both passengers and crew members.
In fact, during a Senate hearing about the financial support airlines received in 2020 and 2021, American Airlines CEO Doug Parker and Southwest CEO Gary Kelly spoke out against the mandate.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. — A bison gored a 25-year-old woman in Yellowstone National Park. The bison was walking near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, just north of Old Faithful, when the woman approached it on Monday, according to a park statement. She got within 10 feet before the animal gored her and tossed her 10 feet in the air. The woman, from Grove City, Ohio, sustained a puncture wound and other injuries. Park emergency medical providers responded and transported her via ambulance to a hospital in Idaho. Park officials say it's the first reported bison goring this year.
Former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann has been found not guilty of lying to the FBI in the first trial of Special Counsel John Durham's investigation into what sparked the investigation of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. It's one of just two indictments in Durham's three-year inquiry into the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe, spurred by allegations that Trump's 2016 campaign got help from Russia. After just six hours of deliberation, a jury rejected Durham's claim that Sussmann lied to federal agents when sending them dirt on Trump's alleged links to Moscow.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she 'did not hear that part of the speech' when asked Tuesday about claims made by President Joe Biden that he was 'appointed' to the Naval Academy the same year he was already finishing college. 'I need to read it myself, and just go back and see what you're talking about exactly. I can't speak to it right now,' Jean-Pierre told CBS News' Ed O'Keefe during the press briefing, as he had asked whether Biden could be confused about the timeline.
