MSNBC contributor political professor Jason Johnson said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the MAGA movement is a “terrorist organization” that no longer believes in democracy.Johnson said, “I used to always say, Ari, with any sort of political conflict — I was saying this during Ferguson — the country can’t heal if we can’t agree on the diagnosis of what got us sick. At the end of the day, you have a certain segment of the population that has told the Republican Party we do not believe in a multicultural democracy. So anything that you have to do to make sure the country stays in the hands of straight

President Joe Biden on Monday took aim at ghost guns, the privately made firearms without serial numbers, using his regulatory power to get around Washington gridlock on the issue.The president showed off one of the gun kits for sale on the internet, pointing out anyone can purchase one and have a gun assembled in under 30 minutes. 'This is the gun,' Biden said during his event in the Rose Garden where he walked over to show off the kit. He lifted the gun in the air to show it more clearly.'It's not hard to put together with a little hand drill at home. It doesn't take very long.

According to a spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry, the delivery of military supplies to Serbia, which has been economically and politically connected to Russia, “has nothing to do with the current situation.”The announcement comes after reports that HQ-22 surface-to-air missile systems were dropped off in Belgrade, Serbia, on Saturday

The fate of President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda may hinge on his administration’s ability to do one simple thing: Shut up.Four months after Biden’s Build Back Better plan collapsed amid a bitter back-and-forth with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), the White House is taking a final shot at resuscitating its social spending bill — and this time it’s vowing a sharply different approach to the negotiations.Top Biden officials are keeping their ambitions vague. They’re steering clear of firm deadlines. Most importantly, they’re trying as hard as possible to just not talk about it at all.“I would quite explicitly not comment on the conversations that are happening,” Brian Deese,

"I am grateful LinkedIn reinstated our account," she added. "Now we can resume focusing on veterans in crisis/need." (Photo) Smith on Thursday shared her story on LinkedIn about rising from poverty to holding four college degrees after serving in the Air Force. She wrote that she is "not responsible for your student debt."

Joe Biden forgets that his current job title is “President of the United States” and not “King” from time to time, and it’s up to others to remind him about the very clear limitations of his power.This time, Biden seemed to forget that he can’t just simply craft and pass laws about the Second Amendment. According to Fox News, Biden is looking to pass a ban on “ghost guns.” You’ll recall that the Democrat Party’s understanding of ghost guns is…questionable.Recall California lawmaker Keven de Leon back in 2014 who claimed that a ghost gun could rattle off an absurd amount of bullets in “half a second”

AVENEL, N.J.— The familiar sights and sounds are still there: the scuffed and faded floor tiles, the relentless beige-on-beige color scheme, the toddlers’ clothes and refrigerators and pretty much everything in between.There’s even a canned recording that begins, “Attention, Kmart shoppers” — except it’s to remind folks about COVID-19 precautions, not to alert them to a flash sale over in ladies’ lingerie like days of old.Many of the shelves are bare, though, at the Kmart in Avenel, New Jersey, picked over by bargain hunters as the store prepares to close its doors for good April 16.Once it shutters, the number of Kmarts in the U.S. –

New York, New Jersey and California failed in their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic because of stringent lockdowns and policies, while Florida was among the best-performing states in the country, a new study has found.The study, published by the Committee To Unleash Prosperity, graded states by comparing COVID-19 outcomes based on the number of deaths, the economy and impact on education.Overall, the bottom 10 on the study’s “report card” were dominated by states that had the most severe pandemic lockdowns and were among the last to finally reopen schools.
