The FBI reportedly created “threat tags” to monitor risks for school officials. The idea for the tracking system came from Attorney General Merrick Garland’s request that the agency intervene in school board battles.

A well-known defender of critical race theory has modified her approach to broaching the topic in a new Washington Post op-ed. Meena Harris’ article comes at a crucial moment in the debate over CRT. Harris is Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece. In her op-ed, Harris accuses conservative lawmakers of preventing teachers from “discussing racism, equity and justice in classrooms.” She adds that progressives often don’t have “explicit plans to discuss anti-racism” with schoolchildren. But there may be a workaround outside the classroom. As Fox News reports: Harris called for families nationwide to “start taking time at home to discuss the…

Donald Trump isn’t giving up. One day after a federal judge rejected the former president’s requests to stop the House Jan. 6 Committee’s request for records leading up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol, Trump is back—asking an appeals court to prevent the documents from going to Congress.

Few politicians can say that they have a genuine mandate. Republican Francis Suarez is an exception. Elected mayor of Miami with 86% of the vote, Suarez announced an ambitious new plan on Wednesday to accelerate the city’s renaissance. The plan is to give out a “bitcoin yield” as a dividend directly to Miamians. As CoinDesk reports: The yield comes from the staking of the city’s own cryptocurrency, MiamiCoin, which was introduced early this year and has already earned over $21 million in the past three months for Miami. Suarez noted that if you were to annualize that revenue, it would equal…

In contrast to President Biden, who called the rising prices “worrisome, even though wages are going up,” Manchin said that Congress can “no longer ignore” the pain Americans feel in their wallets. Now, the West Virginia Democrat is saying that he may delay Biden’s spending bill—until at least next year. Moreover, Manchin still hasn’t found common ground with the White House and progressive members of Congress on the bill’s climate change provisions. Some Democrats worry that Manchin will use whatever…
