In a groundbreaking move, California is advancing the Right to Safety Amendment, a major initiative championed by Governor Gavin Newsom. The leftist activist group Shout Your Abortion has posted six billboards across Interstate 55, which spans through five strongly pro-life states. The first day of the new cashless bail system delivered “absurd” and “incoherent” results for deep blue Illinois as far as McHenry County state's attorney Patrick Kenneally is concerned. Illinois officials are investigating what appears to be a quadruple homicide in a small, quiet neighborhood outside of Chicago after police discovered the bodies of a family of four in their home. New York City is considering a measure that would essentially remove statues of Founding Fathers such as George Washington, all while facing a migrant crisis costing taxpayers billions. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed President Joe Biden this week for failing to give his top challenger in the Democratic Party — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — Secret Service protection after a man showed up at one of his campaign events with a loaded gun. President Joe Biden's Department of Justice faced backlash this week after a new report revealed that federal prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into whether Tesla CEO Elon Musk — who is an opponent of the administration — may have received personal benefits from Tesla that the company failed to disclose.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
