Democratic “Squad” member Jamaal Bowman (N.Y.) on Wednesday said the government needs to “invest in climate” rather than policing to promote public safety.

“The research shows we need a public health approach to public safety. You want to make us safer? Invest in poverty, in ending poverty, invest in housing, invest in climate, invest in education,” Bowman said on CNN. “What we’re doing is adding more police and feeding the prison industrial complex, and that has to stop.”

Bowman’s comments came in response to the Jan. 10 death of Tyre Nichols, who was beaten by Memphis police officers after being

Throughout President Joe Biden’s classified documents scandal, the White House has insisted that the president is taking the matter “seriously.”

After FBI agents on Wednesday searched Biden’s vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., for classified documents, the Biden administration hammered a new point: The White House is being “cooperative”—a word spokesman Ian Sams repeated a dozen times during a brief media gaggle on the White House lawn.

Sams, who has led White House communications regarding the documents scandal, is best known for modeling the “Grillary Clinton” aprons sold by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Claim: Stricter national gun laws would have prevented a string of mass shootings in California.

Who said it: Gov. Gavin Newsom (D., Calif.), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), the Washington Post.

Why it matters: California has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation and leaders who like to export their policies to the rest of the country. Newsom and congressional Democrats have spent the past week arguing that state laws won’t deter mass shooters unless the federal government steps up with its own restrictions.

Democrats are relying on a dark money group to stymie Republican investigations into President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

The Congressional Integrity Project will provide the Biden White House and congressional Democrats with poll data, political ads, and opposition research on Republicans leading investigations into the Biden family, CNN reported. House Republicans have made clear their intention to investigate the Biden family’s business dealings, the president’s handling of classified documents, the border crisis, and federal mismanagement of the coronavirus relief program.

Democrats’ collusion with the Congressional Integrity Project contradicts party leaders’ insistence that dark money has undue influence

Iran is on the cusp of producing enough fissile material to power several nuclear weapons, according to the United Nations.

A confidential U.N. report leaked on Wednesday indicates that Iran is enriching uranium, the key component in a nuclear weapon, up to 60 percent purity at its Fordow nuclear site, according to Reuters. The technological know-how needed to enrich uranium to these levels demonstrates that Iran has surpassed the threshold required for bomb-making.

Iran is believed to have altered nuclear centrifuges stored at the Fordow site, allowing the country to enrich uranium to these high levels of purity. The news

Former president Donald Trump and the Republican Party are driven by “the exact same things that drove the [Ku Klux] Klan movement of the 1920s,” according to Wesley Lowery, the former Washington Post reporter best known for winning the Pulitzer Prize after being arrested at a McDonald”s restaurant during a riot in Ferguson, Mo., and spending several minutes in jail.

“We have one political party that traffics in the same talking points as white supremacists, be it on immigration, be it on Muslims, be it on any number of issues, where the mainstream political rhetoric could be written by

The College Board revised its new Advanced Placement course after Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R.) criticized the curriculum for having woke and inaccurate content.

The College Board released Wednesday the official curriculum for its new high school course in African-American studies, stripped of the controversial critical race theory, “queer experience,” and “Black feminism” subject matter that DeSantis slammed earlier this month, the New York Times reported. In a Jan. 12 letter to the College Board, the DeSantis administration rejected the draft curriculum, saying it is “inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.”

“In the future, should

Critics slammed President Joe Biden on Monday for giving “free publicity” to General Motors with a tweet featuring the company’s electric Hummer. But the president’s promotion actually cost the company a pretty penny.

General Motors has paid Jeff Ricchetti, the brother of longtime Biden confidant and White House counselor Steve Ricchetti, $460,000 to lobby Congress and the White House on electric vehicle tax incentives since the president took office. Biden was promoting his administration’s electric vehicle tax credit with Monday’s tweet, which featured a photo of the president behind the wheel of a GMC Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1.

FBI agents on Wednesday reportedly searched President Joe Biden’s Delaware beach house for classified documents.

According to CBS News, agents showed up at Biden’s home at Rehoboth Beach on Wednesday to conduct the search, which was consensual and planned with Biden’s attorneys in advance.

The search comes after reports this week that the FBI searched Biden’s Washington, D.C., think tank, the Penn Biden Center, in mid-November as part of the documents probe. The White House had failed to disclose that the search took place.
