Young Americans for Liberty, a prominent youth Libertarian organization, is being hit by accusations of sexual harassment.

The panel of company bosses disbanded by Theresa May certainly didn’t represent everyone and there are already plenty of lobby groups to do their work

The husband of QAnon-supporting Congresswoman-elect Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) allegedly exposed himself to a minor in a bowling alley in 2004. In a little-noticed blog post from journalist Anne Landman on Oct. 30, a Garfield County Sheriff’s Office arrest report details how Jayson Boebert was charged with indecent exposure. The incident, which took place on Jan. 28, 2004, at the Rifle Fireside Lanes bowling alley in Rifle, Colorado, reportedly involved a 20-year-old and a 16-year-old. The girls were reportedly approached by Jayson while standing at a snack bar. They were discussing tattoos when Jayson allegedly interjected by stating that he received a tattoo on his penis.

Concepts cars of the past.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill has claimed she saw congressional colleagues lead groups on "reconnaissance" surveys of the Capitol ahead of the Jan. 6 riot.

One angry mum received a food package she said contained just £5.22 worth of food for the week - when she was entitled to £30

A man’s experiment with psychedelic mushrooms went disastrously wrong and nearly killed him, according to his doctors.

The U.S. government does not need new domestic terrorism laws to stop white insurrectionists. It needs the will to confront a violent and deeply American legacy on the march.

Penny Moore, associate professor at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases in South Africa, called the mutation "alarming."

The Rifle Republican reportedly attempted to walk through newly installed metal detectors, which sounded as she did. She then refused to turn over her bag to Capitol Police, who in turn refused to let her enter House chambers, according to reporters on the scene. It’s not clear how the matter was resolved. Reporters saw Boebert enter the House to vote, but couldn’t confirm if she was allowed through with her bag. Boebert’s office did not respond to a request for comment answering that question.

Current US government policy rejects the possibility of an Ireland event, largely because of what I believe is a politically-motivated analysis by the CDC that models more than 100 million Americans already possessing Covid antibodies, prior to any vaccination effort. Using data from flu monitoring programs in prior years, the CDC models project that 70 MILLION Americans have already gotten sick with symptomatic Covid, but decided to just write it off as a bad cold and never got tested. I am not making this up. Add in another 10 million or so Americans who the CDC models as having already had asymptomatic Covid, add in the 23 million Americans who we know have had Covid, and voila! – per the CDC, one-third of the American population is already effectively immunized against getting Covid in the future. And obviously enough, if >30% of Americans are already effectively immunized against Covid because they’ve already gotten sick, then it’s very difficult to hit the Re numbers of 2.4 – 3.0 that Ireland is currently experiencing. I think this model is wrong, and I think the CDC knows that it’s wrong. (somebody reassure me and tell me that this is horseshit)

As people rushed out of other buildings on the Capitol grounds, staffers in Pressley’s office barricaded the entrance with furniture and water jugs that had piled up during the pandemic. Groh pulled out gas masks and looked for the special panic buttons in the office. “Every panic button in my office had been torn out — the whole unit,” she said, though they could come up with no rationale as to why. She had used them before and hadn’t switched offices since then. As they were escorted to several different secure locations, Groh and Pressley and her husband tried to remain calm and vigilant — not only of rioters but of officers they did not know or trust, she said.

Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, has told associates that he believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses and that he is pleased that Democrats are moving to impeach him, believing that it will make it easier to purge him from the party, according to people familiar with his thinking. The House is voting on Wednesday to formally charge Mr. Trump with inciting violence against the country.

We have enough cops, and they don’t need new laws. What happened on January 6 requires a political, not criminal response. On Monday, Opposite Office, an “activistic architecture studio” based in Munich, released design materials for what it called “Capitol Castle,” a plan that would encircle the entire U.S. Capitol with 36-feet-thick brick walls. The concept was not serious—or, at least, it was “serious” but not intended to be built. It was, depending on how charitable you feel about “activistic architecture studios,” a design meant to spark a debate on democracy and division, or one meant to get written up by the architecture press and shared widely on social media. But even if these German architects don’t sincerely propose physically walling off the Capitol after right-wing insurrectionaries stormed the building on January 6, it is far too easy to imagine a similar proposal being carefully considered, right now, by someone in Washington with the power to make it happen. It seems inevitable that there will be additional physical security at and around the Capitol—the trend around federal government buildings and major financial centers has not exactly been “more public and open” since Oklahoma City in 1995 or the World Trade Center in 2001—raising the question of what additional security measures we can expect from our next president and a Congress still reeling from the attack.* As with the physical space, if very recent history is any guide, the impulse of nearly everyone in official Washington will be to further enlarge the security state that failed them instead of examining how and why it came to fail them.

Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the No. 3 House Republican, announced on Tuesday that she would vote to impeach President Trump, saying there had “never been a greater betrayal by a president of the United States” than Mr. Trump’s incitement of a mob that attacked the Capitol last week. In a stinging statement that drove a fissure through her party, Ms. Cheney dismissed fellow Republicans arguing that the impeachment was rushed, premature or unwarranted. Her words were unequivocal and likely to give cover to two dozen or so other House Republicans looking to break ranks and join an effort that was also said to have the tacit support of Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader.

Barry Myrick loves Roxy, the pit bull terrier he's lived with for five years, and cared for. Roxy is trained to sniff for bed bugs. Myrick began taking care of her when both worked for a Queens pest-control company, M and M Environmental. "I feel like people understand how much you can really love a dog and how much they can love you too," he told us through tears on a Zoom call. After the pandemic hit in March, Myrick was laid off. He returned his company uniform, car and credit cards but he was not asked to return Roxy. In May, Myrick, his wife, their dog Robbie, and Roxy moved from Brooklyn to Philadelphia. The company demanded Roxy's return, setting off a legal battle. M and M sees this as a case of stolen property. "And we asked for what's called a temporary restraining order returning the dog to us while the matter is pending, because we can actually prove and it's undisputed that my clients own the dog," said the company's lawyer, Gary Port.

It’s been two weeks since Christmas and yet some are still waiting on Santa to deliver their packages. The holidays are over, but some are still waiting for packages from the USPS. It’s getting to the point where they’re starting to lose their patience. The post office is turning packages left and right, yet the load doesn’t seem to get any lighter. “Mail backed up to the ceilings,” Nick Casselli, the local American Postal Workers Union president, said. Casselli says postal workers are doing the best they can, but with a hiring freeze and no allotted overtime, packages are simply backed up. “I looked into one of the containers, two-day priority mail, and the dates were Dec. 1, Dec. 5, Dec. 10,” Casselli said.

In their first abortion case since Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the court, the justices reinstated a requirement that women seeking medication abortions pick up a pill in person.

President Trump on Tuesday showed no contrition or regret for instigating the mob that stormed the Capitol and threatened the lives of members of Congress and his vice president, saying that his remarks to a rally beforehand were “totally appropriate” and that the effort by Congress to impeach and convict him was “causing tremendous anger.” Answering questions from reporters for the first time since the violence at the Capitol on Wednesday, Mr. Trump sidestepped questions about his culpability in the deadly riot thatshook the nation’s long tradition of peaceful transfers of power. “People thought what I said was totally appropriate,” Mr. Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, en route to Alamo, Texas, where he was set to visit the wall along the Mexican border. Instead, Mr. Trump claimed that protests against racial injustice over the summer were “the real problem.” “If you look at what other people have said, politicians at a high level about the riots during the summer, the horrible riots in Portland and Seattle and various other places, that was a real problem,” he said.
