Difference between revisions of "117th United States Congress"

Revision as of 23:09, June 29, 2021

The 117th United States Congress is the Congress that will last from January 3, 2021 to January 3, 2023. Following the 2020 U.S. House elections with the 2020 U.S. Senate elections to be yet concluded as the 2021 Georgia runoff elections are to be held on January 6, 2021, the Democratic Party is expected to narrowly hold the House by a narrow margin, though their majority has been significantly slashed following heavy losses. They only managed to gain three open House seats (two of which were due to redistricting) while losing a dozen in unexpected upsets.^[1]

Current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi faces a tough fight in maintaining her position, as two incoming far-left Democrat representatives-elect have announced their hesitancy to support her.^[2]

2020 U.S. House election results

See main article: United States House of Representatives elections, 2020

Following the impeachment coup against Donald Trump pushed through by House Democrats that was unpopular among voters in swing states/districts,^[3][4] the campaign wing of the Democrat establishment insisted that they would expand their majority,^[5] with the Cook Political Report also changing several of their predictions, marking a number of seats being in favor of the Democrats.^[6][7] However, the following districts represented by mostly left-wing Democrats who ran for re-election flipped towards the GOP:

• California's 21st district: T.J. Cox lost in a rematch of the 2018 Midterms to Moderate Republican David Valadao by 0.9% of the votes cast^[8]
• California's 39th district: Despite fake predictions that the race was "Likely D",^[9] Gil Cisneros lost to Republican Young Kim in a rematch of the 2018 election^[10]
• California's 48th district: Phony "moderate" Harley Rouda lost to Michelle Steel in a district centered in Orange County^[11]
• Florida's 26th district: In an upset,^[12] Debbie Mucarsel-Powell was defeated by Miami-Dade County mayor Carlos Gimenez in a race changed merely two weeks before the general election from "tossup" to "Lean D" by the increasingly unreliable Cook Political Report^[6]
• Florida's 27th district: Donna Shalala lost in a major upset to GOP challenger Maria Elvira Salazar;^[13] the race was rated "Likely D" by the Cook Political Report^[9]
• Iowa's 1st district: Incumbent Democrat Abby Finkenauer lost to Republican state representative Ashley Hinson^[14]
• Minnesota's 7th district: Longtime^[15] DINO Collin Peterson lost to Michelle Fischbach in the strongly conservative district by a margin of over ten points
• New Mexico's 2nd district: Xochitl Torres Small lost to Republican Yvette Herrell
• New York's 11th district: Left-wing Democrat Max Rose, despite being considerably lucky in the 2018 Midterms in running against an incumbent establishment Republican then, lost re-election to Nicole Malliotakis in a district covering the entirety of Staten Island^[16]
• Oklahoma's 5th district: Kendra Horn lost re-election to Stephanie Bice in a largely conservative area^[17]
• South Carolina's 1st district: Liberal Democrat Joe Cunningham lost re-election to Republican state representative Nancy Mace by a very narrow margin^[18]
• Utah's 4th district: Ben McAdams lost re-election to Burgess Owens by a narrow margin^[19]

Of thirteen House Republicans whose re-election efforts were rated as "tossups" by Cook Political Report,^[9] none lost in the general elections. Democrats only flipped the following open seats:

• Georgia's 7th district: Republican representative Rob Woodall of the mostly urban, increasingly liberal area retired,^[20] and the open seat was by Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux,^[21] who had unsuccessfully challenged Woodall in the 2018 Midterms
• North Carolina's 2nd district: due to redistricting in late 2019 that shifted a mostly Republican area into a liberal stronghold,^[22][23] George Holding retired and the seat was won by leftist^[24][25] Deborah Ross^[26]
• North Carolina's 6th district: also due to redistricting,^[22][23] conservative Rep. Mark Walker retired and the seat was won by Democrat Kathy Manning^[27]

Republicans successfully held numerous open seats, including:

• Texas' 23rd district: incumbent RINO Will Hurd of the mostly Hispanic district that had previously been more liberal retired,^[28][29] and Republican nominee Tony Gonzales won the open seat in a surprise upset^[30] despite nearly every election rating except for RCP considering it "Lean D (flip)"^{[9][31][32][33][34]}
• Texas' 24th district: despite the Cook Political Report changing its rating for the seat merely a day prior to the general election from "Tossup" to "Lean D (flip)",^[7] Republican nominee Beth Van Duyne won the general election to succeed retiring Republican incumbent Kenny Marchant very narrowly^[35]

Democrat circus/Republican incompetence

Following the 2021 Capitol riot, House Democrats on January 11, 2021 introduced an article of impeachment against Donald Trump, falsely claiming that he was directly responsible for the violent breaking and entering of the United States Capitol Building.^[36] Several conservative Republicans led by Ken Buck and joined by Thomas Massie, Chip Roy, Nancy Mace, Tom McClintock, Kelly Armstrong, as well as Mike Gallagher poorly attempted to oppose the impeachment by sending a letter to incoming junta leader Joe Biden begging him to urge Speaker Nancy Pelosi to stop the resolution.^[37] Several NeverTrump House Republicans soon announced their support for the sham measure, including John Katko (R–NY),^[38] Fred Upton (R–MI),^[39] Adam Kinzinger (R–IL),^[40] Liz Cheney (R–WY),^[41] and Jaime Herrera Beutler (R–WA).^[42] They were joined by Dan Newhouse (R–WA), Anthony Gonzalez (R–OH), Peter Meijer (R–MI), Tom Rice (R–SC), and David Valadao (R–CA) in ultimately voting to impeach Trump.^[43] Chip Roy (R–TX) accused Trump of committing "impeachable offenses" and was joined by globalist Moderate Republican Michael McCaul (R–TX) in suggesting such as well, though both voted against the resolution.^[44] Nancy Mace (R–SC), a freshman congresswoman who won a narrow race in 2020 partially riding the coattails of Trump, blamed him for the riot though ultimately voted against the impeachment.^[45]

As Democrats plotted to impeach Trump a second time, several House Republicans attempted to "compromise" between far-leftists and conservatives by introducing a resolution to officially censure Trump over the riot;^[46] the resolution was introduced by Brian Fitzpatrick (PA–1), Young Kim (CA–39), Fred Upton (MI–6), Tom Reed (NY–23), Mike Gallagher (WI–8) John Curtis (UT–3), and Peter Meijer (MI–3).

Several House Republicans following the House impeachment vote announced that they would continue to support Liz Cheney being the chair of the House Republican Conference, the top third position in the House GOP. These RINO Backers, with some being strongly conservative while others moderate, included House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy,^[47] House Minority Whip Steve Scalise,^[47] Chip Roy,^[48] Nancy Mace,^[49] Carlos Gimenez,^[50] Rodney Davis,^[47] Michael McCaul,^[47] Mike Gallagher,^[47] and Dan Crenshaw.^[51]

117th Congress

As the 117th Congress was sworn in, one thing was certain and obvious to the American people: the Democratic party no longer had any regard or respect for democracy and the human rights of other people. The Democratic party organization, from poll workers, to members of the civil service system, to elected officials, had rejected the fundamental tenets of a two-party system and embraced full-fledged single party communism and totalitarianism, including rigged elections, censorship, lack of due process rights, a rejection of the right of free association, a perverted law enforcement and judicial system, wholesale domestic spying, a globalized and collectivist planned economy, a rejection of God and religion, and an attack on the rights of armed citizens to defend themselves.

Impeachment sham 2.0

House Democrats in the 117th Congress tampered with evidence to bring a second sham impeachment charge against President Donald Trump.^[52][53] Chief Justice John Roberts refused to preside over what was obviously an illegal and unconstitutional abuse of power.^[54] Democrats refused to allow the subpoena of Speaker Pelosi to testify as a witness under oath in the impeachment trial about her role in the pre-planned attack on the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021.^[55]

New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew quit the party rather than vote in its second bogus impeachment sham. After voting to object to electoral certification, a mainstream media journalist with the Ocean City Sentinel left a voice mail on Van Drew's home phone:

The ACLU argued that the Democrats' new Domestic Terrorism bill to target their enemies will harm minority communities.^[57] H.R. 1 and S. 1 effectively ended voter registration.^[58] That, coupled with the executive order raising the migrant refugee ceiling by 730% in the midst of the COVID pandemic effectively put an end to free and fair elections.^[59]

Racist origins of sham impeachment

The only precedent for the second impeachment of President Donald J. Trump was that of William W. Belknap, President Ulysses S. Grant’s Secretary of War during Reconstruction, who was tried and acquitted by the U.S. Senate after resigning from office. An investigation into the War Department was launched. Under Belknap the U.S. Army was used in combination with the Justice Department to prosecute the Ku Klux Klan, a policy opposed by most Democrats.^[60] Senate Democrat Majority leader Chuck Schumer said, “The Senate convened a trial, and voted, as a chamber, that Mr. Belknap could be tried ‘for acts done as Secretary of War, notwithstanding his resignation of said office.’ The language is crystal clear, without any ambiguity,” quoting a resolution by Senator Allen Thurman, who opposed President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and campaigned against allowing black people to vote.^[61]

DCCC

According to Breitbart News:

Transgenderism

The so-called Equality Act is a bill that would eliminate the legal recognition of male and female sex, make it more difficult to bring charges of sexual harassment in the workplace, cater to gender ideology, and designate protection for the unborn as “pregnancy” discrimination. The legislation, which would rewrite civil rights law to include “sexual orientation and gender identity” as protected classes, would likely upend the national culture as Americans have known it. Ryan Anderson, president of Ethics & Public Policy Center (EPPC) said, “The so-called Equality Act isn’t drafted as a shield to protect vulnerable minorities from unjust discrimination, but as a sword to persecute those who do not embrace new sexual and gender ideologies.”^[63]

Abolish ICE

See also: Abolish ICE

On July 12, 2018 Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) introduced H.R. 6361, in the House to abolish ICE. Eight House Democrats signed on as cosponsors: Pramila Jayapal and D. Adam Smith of Washington; Adriano Espaillat, José Serrano, Nydia Velázquez, and Yvette Clarke, all from New York; Earl Blumenauer of Oregon; and James McGovern of Massachusetts.^[64] Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, and other Democrats all rallied behind the “Abolish ICE” banner.^[65]

Many Leftists ran on a platform of abolishing the nation's imigration enforcement authority and moving toward a policy of unrestricted immigration and open borders. In November 2018 Kamala Harris compared ICE workers, more than half of which are Hispanic, to the Ku Klux Klan. The suggestion sparked horror and outrage.^[66]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez referred to DHS detention facilities where illegal immigrants were being held as "concentration camps" and people were being forced to drink toilet water. Motivated by AOC's rhetoric, the Tacoma suicide bomber attacked a detention facility housing hundreds of children.^{[67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]} AOC refused to condemn the attacks or to even speak to the media.^[77]

An Antifa supporter, Connor Betts, murdered 9 people in the Dayton nightclub shooting. Betts, a registered Democrat and Elizabeth Warren backer posted to Twitter “I do not consider ICE agents to be human beings.”^[78] and echoed Ocasio-Cortez' statement that ICE detention facilities were "concentration camps." No less than four violent acts and shootings occurred against ICE facilites and border agents after Ocasio-Cortez's comments.^[79][80] Ocasio-Cortez then voted against a Democrat-sponsored bill that would have provided humanitarian relief for the border crisis and threw a fit when the Senate rejected the bill she herself voted against.^[81]

MS-13 and others

By October 21, 2018, reports estimated the number of economic migrants at between 7,200 and 10,000. The numbers seemingly doubled and tripled upon entering Mexico. No further resistance was met once passed the border. Migrants from Haiti, Congo, Sri Lanka, Angola, Cameroon, and Bangladesh have swelled the ranks.^[82] The crowd is mostly men, ages 16–40. There are MS-13 gang members among them.^[83] The caravan was now over two miles long.

Mexican authorities issued a warning about migrants in Guatemala who were preparing Molotov cocktails and acquiring firearms to use against police officers. Two migrants were arrested, one a minor, after shooting at police. They were arrested carrying a loaded firearm.^[84]

Child trafficking

Guatemalan authorities rescued seven unaccompanied minors from human smugglers working inside the caravan. The smugglers were arrested and a broader investigation into criminal activity in the caravan continued.^[85]

Immigration

On March 17, 2020, during a 2020 Democrat primary debate, Biden called for an immediate surge of illegal immigrants to the border.^[86]

A Harvard/Harris poll produced in the summer of 2021 revealed that 80% of Americans believe that illegal immigration is a serious problem. 68% indicated they believed Biden was encouraging illegal immigration. 55% stated they believed President Trump’s immigration policies should have remained intact. Pollster Mark Penn wrote:

55% believed that Biden’s border policies are “increasing the flow of drugs,” into the country. 61% believed the flood of unaccompanied children surging at the southern border was the fault of the Biden administration.^[87]

Biden border crisis

See also: Cloward and Piven Strategy and Biden border crisis

On Biden's second day occupying the White House he issued a diktat which has been described as the most extreme directive in the history of modern law enforcement. Acting Secretary David Pekoske issued a memorandum on the evening of January 20, 2021 putting into place a deportation moratorium. There were narrow exceptions for terrorists and spies and none for criminals and criminal suspects. It is estimated that about 12,000 criminal illegal aliens per month will not be deported from the United States throughout the existence of the Biden/Harris regime.^[88] These illegals can vote unchallenged under the Democrats "For the People Act".

The junta further scrapped the “public charge” rule—a government policy that sought to limit admissions of immigrants likely to become reliant on government benefits.^[89] People from Yemen, Iran and Sri Lanka were crossing the border, including people on the terrorist watch list.^[90]

The junta's executive order raised the refugee ceiling by 730% in the midst of the COVID pandemic.^[91][92] By the junta's seventh week Arizona border agents reported illegal immigration in 2021 already surpassed all of 2018, and was on track to surpass 2018, 2019 and 2020 combined.”

After White House chief propagandist Jen Psaki denied a border crisis existed,^[93] the junta dispatched FEMA to deal with over 100,000 illegal aliens who crossed the border in February,^[94] 150,000 in March,^[95] and 178,000 in April 2021, a two decade high for a single month. 17,000 of those in April were unaccompanied children.^[96] Democrat Reps. Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar criticized the junta's mishandling of the crisis.^[97] Biden found the humanitarian crisis he created flattering.^[98] Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick told Fox News,

A border agent described conditions in the cells to the Epoch Times:

After White House chief propagandist Jen Psaki denied a border crisis existed,^[101] the Biden junta put Kamala Harris in charge of managing the catastrophe.^[102] Harris previously compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to the Ku Klux Klan.^[103] A week into the Harris' appointment as border czar, Harris had no immigration-related meetings on her schedule and made no public statements about the border crisis.^[104] Axios reported "If you give someone a sh***ty assignment because the president doesn’t want to do it himself, you can’t be mad when the treacherous situation looks treacherous.”^[105]

Harris refused to visit the border for six months and laughed at the unfolding human tragedy.^[106] Not until President Trump announced he and Texas governor Greg Abbott would visit the border did Harris announce she would visit the border.^[107]

Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar, whose district was hardest hit by disaster, had been calling for months for the Biden junta to listen to the people in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, to him, and to law enforcement that is overwhelmed called Harris' visit to El Paso in the Upper Rio Rio Grande Valley a “politically safe” trip, a “check the box” kind of trip and a "joke". Harris never consulted with Cuellar, Texas governor Greg Abbott, or other local people.

Human trafficing

The Biden junta’s reversal of Trump-era border policies gave Mexican cartels an enormous opportunity to exploit immigrants for financial gain. This criminal and inhumane system is a direct consequence of Biden’s open border policies and willful neglect of border security. Chris Farrell, director of investigations and research at Judicial Watch, explained how the cartels’ control of the Mexican border is driven by profit. “When Americans hear about the humanitarian crisis at the border,” said Farrell, “they should remember that it is fueled by a sophisticated criminal enterprise that is subsidized by the Biden administration’s failure to secure our border.” An Arizona rancher explained “Nobody comes through that border illegally without their [the cartels] authorization.” Dan Cantu, a retired Border Patrol agent, said no one “freelances”—or crosses into the U.S. from the Mexican border without cartel permission. In most cases, those who try are instantly killed. “They call those [who cross on their own] ‘chapulines’ … which means grasshoppers in Spanish. It’s common knowledge that the minute they try to freelance—as soon as they do—smugglers and recruiters [for the cartels] will notice … [and] they’ll flat out kill them.” They patrol ridge lines and mountains in search of “chapulines” walking on their own. If found, the chapulin is approached by a scout and asked for a code. Those who don’t know the code are often tied to a tree and beaten, raped, or killed by cartel operatives. “The chapulines experience all kinds of torture,” Cantu emphasized, “because [the cartels] have got to send a message … there is a price for attempting to traverse the border yourself.”^[108]

According to a veteran Department of Homeland Security law enforcement officer, “The cartel makes more money on people than they do on dope.” The Mexican cartels have a valuation greater than Walmart.^[109]

Child sex trafficing

Biden also canceled the Trump era Operation Talon which focused on deporting illegal child sex traffickers and sexual predators.^[110] The order essentially shut down ICE operations. An estimated 117,000 migrants crossed the border at the going rate for smuggling humans of $10,000 each the first month, totaling well over $1.1 billion for the cartels and human trafficking networks.^[111] Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador expressed concern over the junta incentivizing human trafficing and organized crime.^[112] Reports indicated that human traffickers were purchasing children for $3200.^[113][114] Drug cartels often recruit or kidnap migrants, hold them for ransom or murder them if their families don't comply with the operatives' demands.^[115]Evidence at the border suggested children were being raped.^[116] @red_pill_latina said on Instagram,

No covid testing

The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was not doing any covid-19 testing on people apprehended at the border.^[118] The Epoch Times: described conditions in the holding cells:

The National Sheriffs Association estimated that up to 50% of all illegal immigrants were covid positive.^[120] Congressional Democrats blocked a Republican bill which would require the Department of Homeland Security to test all apprehensions for covid.^[121] Restoration of the Obama era Catch and Release program led to the release of covid infected illegal aliens into American communities.^[122]

Babies in cages

The Biden / Harris regime kept babies in cages..

The junta renewed the Obama era program of locking migrant children in cages.^[123] The New York Times initially reported the junta was holding 3250 kids in "jail-like facilities"^[124] 38% longer than the law allows.^[125] The figure was later revised to 9,400 in February alone,^[126] and by the third week of March DHS said the number of babies in cages was 15,500.^[127] The Former head of CBP said Homeland Commissar Alejandro Mayorkas "lied to the American people" about the crisis.^[128]

According to CBS News, children were held in overcrowded conditions, and some were having to sleep on the floor and were going hungry. One immigration lawyer representing the children said there were kids who have only showered once in seven days and weren’t allowed to shower more often. The children were not allowed outdoors and complained of not seeing the sun in days. The Donna complex which is supposed to hold only 250 people held 1,800, or 729% of its pandemic era capacity. The migrants were not able to practice any social distancing because of the massive number of people.^[129] The New York Post wrote in an editorial, "While we feel Trump was wrongly vilified for these facilities, Biden deserves every knock of hypocrisy leveled against him."^[130] Time magazine pleaded for the Dear Leader to end locking babies in cages.^[131]

The Washington Post reported “[y]oung people are waiting in cramped, austere holding cells with concrete floors and benches. Lights remain on 24 hours a day, agents say, and there are few places to play.”^[132] CNN’s Pamela Brown reported that “as the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border gets worse, the media is being kept from it despite calls of transparency from the Biden administration. Reporters and photographers were not been allowed inside the facilities where thousands of unaccompanied children are being kept in similar to jail-like conditions."^[133]

When negative publicity arose, the Biden team then emptied the cages and forced children to sleep in buses overnight, according to NBC News.^[134]

Narcotics trafficing

Prior to the junta opening the border bi-partisan experts estimated the money made on drug trafficking by the Mexican Drug Cartels at around $500 billion, or one half-trillion dollars per year. Sen. Sonny Purdue said in 2019: “At half a trillion dollars — $500 billion — that makes the cartel business and the drug traffic just in Mexico alone coming across to the United States bigger than Walmart, to put it in perspective. So this is larger than our largest companies.” Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein quoted the same figure testifying, “The illicit drug trade is a business, valued at anywhere between $426 [billion] and $652 billion…”.^[135]

Racist elected officials

Racist Democrat Sens. Tammy Duckworth and Mazie Hirono refused to vote for any white Biden appointee.^[136]

Rhode Island Democrat Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is a systemic racist who is a member of an all-white beach club in which his wife is a major shareholder.^[137][138]

Progressive Rep. Katie Hill of California's 25th district, a member of the LGBT+ community, sports a white supremacist tattoo.^[139]

In April 2021, Twitter allowed a racist insult against Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina to "trend" on its website/platform following the GOP rebuttal to Biden's SOTU speech in which Scott debunked the liberal leftist agenda, accused Democrats of trying "to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present" and stating, "America is not a racist country."^[140] Following the speech, angry leftists flooded Twitter in attempts to label the Senator "Uncle Tim" and using other racist slurs. During the rebuttal Scott stated, "I have experienced the pain of discrimination... I get called "Uncle Tom" and the N-word — by 'progressives'! By liberals!"^[141] The left traditionally uses the derogatory epithet and hurls it at conservatives who dare to walk off the Democrat plantation. This has long been a way for bigots to insult black people who are accused of being subservient to whites and used to send an intimidating message to others who might be thinking about leaving the plantation.^[142][143]

In May 2021 Chicago NBC5 reported mayor Lori Lightfoot refused to do interviews with white people.^[144] The report was confirmed by Chicago PBS station WTTW.^[145] and USAToday.^[146] The formal announcement said Lightfoot would only grant interviews to "Black and brown" reports. Lightfoot complained bitterly about the "whiteness and maleness" of Chicago's liberal media which had only aided in her election.^[147] Chicago Tribune reporter Gregory Pratt, a Latino was granted an interview and asked the mayor’s office to lift its exclusion others. When the mayor's office refused, Pratt protested the racist policy and canceled the interview. A Chicago WGN anchor and a Washington Post reporter supported the Tribune's action and called on all reporters to boycott the mayor's office racist policies.^[148] The National Association of Black Journalists issued a statement: "that NABJ’s history of advocacy does not support excluding any bona fide journalists from one-on-one interviews with newsmakers, even if it is for one day and in support of activism...We have members from all races and backgrounds and diversity, equity and inclusion must be universal."^[149] Civil rights attorney Leo Terrell ripped Lightfoot's policy as "repugnant".^[150] Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard who excoriated Hillary Clinton as "the personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic party", called upon Lightfoot to resign. "I call upon President Biden, Kamala Harris, and other leaders of our county—of all races—to join me in calling for Mayor Lightfoot's resignation.^[151]

Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley weighed in: "The question is whether a race-based criteria for reporters is not just actionable but whether the media is prepared to sue Lightfoot for discriminatory policies....One of the most significant aspects of this controversy is that Lightfoot ordered staff to enforce the race-based criteria. That means that the policy was carried out with city staff and resources....The Illinois Human Rights Law states that unlawful discrimination

Amidst a firestorm of outrage Lightfoot attempted to defend her racist and anti-male policies: “As a woman of color, as a lesbian, it’s important to me that diversity is put front and center.”^[153] Lightfoot argued that racism and discrimination will make "the collective us do better."^[154]

The Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) and Judicial Watch filed suit, alleging the Chicago mayors stated racist policy violated DNCF reporter Thomas Caenacci's First Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment rights:

Catenacci requested an interview with Lightfoot through her office on May 20 to talk about coronavirus-related issues like Chicago's lagging vaccination rate, how she'd rate her handling of the pandemic in comparison to other cities, etc. He followed up on May 21 and May 24 and did not receive a response. “By failing to respond in a timely manner, Mayor Lightfoot has denied Plaintiff Catenacci’s request,” the complaint alleges.

Further, the DCNF alleged “on information and belief” that Lightfoot was aware that Catenacci is white, and that because of that and her newly announced policy of interviewing only “journalists of color,” he was being denied the opportunity to sit down and interview her in his capacity as a journalist.^[155]

Covid-19

Congressional Democrats blocked a Republican bill which would require the Department of Homeland Security to test all border apprehensions for covid.^[156]
