Gov. Jerry Brown, Democrats Divided Over Welfare Cuts

Gun rights activist Kyle Rittenhouse wants you to know that he’s very pleased with the Supreme Court, after the justices on Friday overturned a federal ban on bump stocks—devices that are attached to semi-automatic firearms to make them shoot as quickly as machine guns. Bump stocks were banned under the Trump administration with bipartisan support after a shooter in Las Vegas used one to spray more than 1,000 rounds into a crowd at a concert, murdering 60 people and injuring hundreds more.

Turning Point USA, which casts itself as a conservative political youth movement, appears to be aging. Founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk, then 18, TPUSA quickly won the backing of rich Republican megadonors eager to try to recapture young voters, who overwhelmingly had been supporting Democrats. The group has since become a staple on college campuses, where it decries “cancel culture” and warns students of encroaching socialism, and has been a major player in Trump world. In 2019, Kirk started a nonprofit political action committee (PAC), Turning Point Action, to gain more sway in elections.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops, which creates policies for the church in the United States, formally apologized on Friday for the church’s role in traumatizing Native American children at boarding schools until the mid-1900s. It’s “the most direct expression of regret to date” by church officials for forcibly assimilating Indigenous kids into white culture, according to the Washington Post, whose investigative reporters recently documented the widespread sexual abuse by priests and nuns at these schools. “The family systems of many Indigenous people never fully recovered from these tragedies, which often led to broken homes harmed by addiction, domestic abuse, abandonment and neglect,” the bishops said in a 56-page document, which came after decades of attempts by Native Americans to demand accountability from the US government and the Catholic Church.

There are buildings with Trump's name on them. However, tenants have fought to strip the former President's name from their buildings in some cases. In New York, a judge ruled that residents of Trump Place have the right to remove Lumpy's name from the building if enough of them approve of it.

Colorado’s latest congressional campaign fundraising snapshot — the final one before the June 25 primary — showed new and intriguing dynamics emerging to stir things up in a high-profile presidential election year. But some things have stayed the same — including in U. S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s current district, long after she announced she would run in a different part of the state. Adam Frisch, the sole Democratic contender in the Boebert-represented 3rd Congressional District, once again hauled in the largest take of any Colorado congressional candidate from April 1 to June 5, with just over $1 million collected.

His forehead rub with the pope was met with expressions of disgust.
