Congress:

Jeffries: This is the lesson you've drawn? From the election in November? This is your priority? That you want to bully a member of congress? As opposed to welcoming her to join this body?

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country … it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

From the MarKODA Files-DEI is the New ‘N’ Word Edition:

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

How a House Bill Could Let Trump Label Enemies as Terrorists

“Donald Trump says you’re a terrorist, so you’re a terrorist.”www.motherjones.com/politics/202…

“Donald Trump says you’re a terrorist, so you’re a terrorist.”

Last week, a bill that would give the Treasury Department power to designate a nonprofit as a “terrorist-supporting organization” for supporting pro-Palestine protests was narrowly voted down in Congress. But the saga is far from over. It could still be passed in the coming days.

Called the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, the bill initially was introduced with broad bipartisan support. But after Donald Trump’s reelection, many Democrats flipped, fearing the incoming administration would use the bill not to stop terrorism, but to kneecap Trump’s political enemies.

Funding terrorism is already illegal. Still, all but one Republican in the House backed the bill when it came to a vote last week. There were also 52 Democrats who supported the measure.

Nonprofits such as the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and NAACP came out against the bill in a letter in to House leaders. “These efforts are part of a concerted attack,” they wrote, “on civil society that is targeted at more than just groups involved in the campus protests regarding Gaza.”

Wagner: The irony here is that if there are any alleged or accused of sexual predators coming to town in January 2025, they may be two of trump's own cabinet picks.
