As many of you know the UK is hosting the G7 summit, and the Queen is going to host Biden at Buckingham Palace this Sunday.
From what I've seen so far of the G7 has been really promising. I am so happy to see President Biden and the first lady here in the UK. It feels like a sense of relief to see a real leader again and one who brings decent values back into the Western world.
I think Biden is a really good influence on PM Boris Johnson too, which I hope continues to be a positive influence over the UK, rather than the copycat Trump antics we have been used to seeing from Boris Johnson.
The UK-US relationship looked actually stronger than I've seen it in a long time, just by how highly Biden speaks of the UK. I know it's early days but it is a really good start.
Here's hoping for a really strong relationship moving forward for the US and UK.
Barr is in hot waters again. Using the DOJ subpoena power to get data on Schiff and others
“that prosecutors in Trump's Department of Justice subpoenaed Apple for data from the accounts of Democratic members of Congress, their staffs and families -- are different in kind. According to The New York Times, Barr even moved a New Jersey-based attorney to the main Justice Department to work on a case related to Rep. Adam Schiff of California, one of the House Democrats whose data was sought. (Barr, the Justice Department and Apple declined to comment on the story to the Times, though the Justice Department's inspector general has said it will investigate.)”
and he also used Gag orders so they wouldn’t even know he was requesting their data.
@jessi1978 We had a prediction about that. That he'd be in hot water when Trump was gone.
Don't ever thing that you can't make an important impact because you are to young (or even too old).
17 year old Darnella Frazier , the young teenager who took the video of George Floyd's murder, just received a special honorary Pulitzer Prize.
In an announcement Friday afternoon, the Pulitzer Prize board commended Frazier “for courageously recording the murder of George Floyd,” highlighting “the crucial role of citizens in journalists’ quests for truth and justice.”
"As the prosecutors congratulate each other, thinking of young Darnella Frazier. There is no case without her," journalist Ann Marie Lipinski tweeted during Chauvin's trial. "The video record she made is one of the most important civil rights documents in a generation."
