Former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday called President Donald Trump's "Anti-Weaponization Fund a "bad idea" and urged the president to "drop it." "Let's get rid of this fund," Pence said in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press." "I mean, it's deeply offensive to me that you could have a fund that could even possibly compensate people who assaulted police officers or vandalized the Capitol on January 6th," he added. "And I think that's broadly held by most Republicans and most Americans."
Evidence tied to last week's deadly attack on a California mosque illustrates a violent ideology and playbook that is all too familiar to counterterrorism and extremism experts. A 75-page typewritten document, attributed to the teenage suspects, and a livestreamed video showing the attack show extensive grounding in far-right, neo-Nazi thinking. But one facet of the ideology behind this attack has, so far, been left out of much mainstream coverage.

And this is an important thing, because that kind of misogyny did not exist in white supremacist circles, say, 10, 15 years ago," said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism.

The convention day began at 9 a.m. with a prayer from Father Richard Kunst of Duluth that the adopted platform of the party "promotes true, good, conservative values, fiscally and socially," followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. A delegate then called for a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murdering George Floyd in 2020 and is in prison. State Rep. Danny Nadeau, R-Rogers, led a 10-second moment of silence after taking an informal vote. Monday was the sixth anniversary of Floyd's death.
A group of legal and civil rights organizations late Friday sued U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement over conditions at Camp East Montana in El Paso, the country's largest immigration detention facility. "Camp East Montana is nothing short of a civil rights catastrophe," Kyle Virgien, senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union's National Prison Project, said in a statement. "We're suing to ensure that no other human being has to endure the inhumane treatment that the Trump administration has inflicted on our clients." read more

Men who worship Trump, a man who wears liquid foundation, is *obsessed* with ballrooms, dances to gay anthems from the 70s, plays music from Broadway musicals, talks fondly about Arnold Palmer's enormous penis, and gushes about how hot Jaxson Dart is, are questioning James Talarico's sexuality?
