Marjorie Taylor Greene Introducing Resolution to Expel Rep. Maxine Waters from Congress

Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced that she will soon introduce a resolution to expel Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters from Congress.

On Sunday afternoon, Greene tweeted, “Very soon I’ll be introducing a resolution to expel @RepMaxineWaters from Congress for her continual incitement of violence on innocent American people.”

“Rep Waters is a danger to our society,” she added.

In a statement emailed to Newsweek, Greene’s office said she announced plans to expel Waters “after the California Congresswoman invited Black Live [sic] Matter domestic terrorists to fire gun shots at National Guardsmen in Minnesota.”

“As a sitting United States Congresswoman, Rep. Maxine Waters threatened a jury demanding a guilty verdict and threatened violence if Chauvin is found not guilty. This is also an abuse of power,” Greene added.

Greene’s remarks on Sunday came hours after Waters joined hundreds of Black Lives Matter protesters around the 11 p.m. curfew on Saturday night to demonstrate outside the police department in the city of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.

The crowds were gathered for a seventh night of protests, after the police killing of Daunte Wright, to rally against police brutality and systemic racism. They repeatedly called for heavy charges against Kimberly Potter, the officer involved in the shooting.

Waters spoke to the crowd, telling them that she backed murder charges against Potter and advised the city against settling for manslaughter charges.

Nearby in Minneapolis, Derek Chauvin‘s murder trial has disrupted the city. Protesters across America have called for a guilty verdict to be passed onto the police officer accused of killing George Floyd.

Asked about the Chauvin trial by reporters, Waters said that she was “hopeful” the cop would be convicted.

Minnesota lawmaker proposes law to strip convicted protesters of food stamps, unemployment benefits, and other gov’t programs

Bill also includes college loan grants, rent or mortgage assistance, and business grants

A Minnesota state lawmaker wants to strip convicted protesters of their access to government programs, including food stamps, student loans, and health care.

Republican state Sen. David Osmek authored the legislation as the nation awaits a decision in the jury trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was charged in the death of George Floyd.

After a long day of closing arguments, the jurors deliberated about four hours before retiring for the night to the hotel where they are being sequestered for this final phase of the trial, the Associated Press reported. They were slated to resume Tuesday morning.

Amy Coney Barrett receives $2 million advance for book deal

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett has reportedly sold a book, receiving an advance of $2 million.

Three industry sources close to the matter told Politico that Barrett’s book will deal with how judges are not supposed to bring their personal feelings into their rulings.

One industry source told Politico that the “eye-raising amount” is likely the most a justice has received since Clarence Thomas and Sandra Day O’Connor sold their own books.

The Hill has reached out to the Supreme Court for comment.

Barrett was pressed by Democratic lawmakers during her confirmation hearing on how she would rule on certain cases having to do with Roe v. Wade, the Second Amendment and the Affordable Care Act. Barrett avoided answering such questions, saying that, like the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she would not offer “previews” on specific cases.

And during her hearing to be confirmed as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in 2017, Barrett commented on her personal beliefs when asked if she considered herself an “orthodox Catholic.”

“We’ve got to get more confrontational. We’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business,” the representative from California said.

As Gov. DeSantis Signed Anti-Rioting Law, Sheriff Tells New Residents Don’t ‘Vote The Stupid Way You Did Up North’

At the signing ceremony for Governor Ron DeSantis’ new anti-rioting law on Monday, a Florida sheriff told new residents who moved to the Sunshine State not to “vote the stupid way you did up north.”

“If you look at the breadth of this particular piece of legislation, it is the strongest anti-rioting, pro-law enforcement piece of legislation in the country,” Gov. DeSantis said Monday as he signed the bill that would increase penalties for crimes committed during riots.

Sheriff Judd: ‘Florida Is A Unique Place And A Special Place’

DeSantis said last week of the upcoming legislation, “If you assault law enforcement in a violent assembly, you are definitely going to go to jail. You burn down somebody’s business … The penalties are going to be very swift and immediate.”

But Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd had some remarks of his own to make on Monday.

“Florida is a unique place and a special place. It’s where we work, where we live, but it’s also where the world comes to play, to bring their children — and their children have a right to be safe,” Sheriff Judd said.

100 Experts Tell Facebook: Don’t Launch Instagram for Kids Under 13

An international coalition of nearly 100 advocacy groups and child development experts said Facebook’s Instagram for kids under 13 will exploit children in numerous ways, putting their health and well being at risk.

An international coalition of 35 consumer advocacy groups and 64 experts in child development last week called on Facebook to ditch plans to launch a version of Instagram for children under 13.

In a press release, the coalition, led by Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, said research demonstrates “Instagram, in particular, exploits young people’s fear of missing out and desire for peer approval.”

Instagram requires users to be 13 years or older to create an account, but in March, Buzzfeed reported on the social media giant’s plan to build a version of the platform for people under the age of 13 years to allow them to “safely” use Instagram for the first time. Facebook told the Guardian the company was exploring a “parent-controlled version” of Instagram, similar to the Messenger Kids app that is for kids between six and 12.

But in a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, child development experts and consumer groups criticized the move:

“The platform’s relentless focus on appearance, self-presentation and branding presents challenges to adolescents’ privacy and well-being … Younger children are even less developmentally equipped to deal with these challenges, as they are learning to navigate social interactions, friendships and their inner sense of strengths during this crucial window of development.”

The authors of the letter said Facebook’s “long track record of exploiting young people and putting them at risk makes the company particularly unsuitable as the custodian of a photo-sharing and social-messaging site for children.”

The groups pointed to news reports about leaked documents showing how Facebook boasted to advertisers that it could target teens at the exact moment they were feeling bad about themselves, including when they have negative thoughts about their bodies.

The letter cited more than 20 studies on the negative impact of social media on children, which include:

Biden’s Reversal of Fetal-Tissue Research Ban Is ‘Sickening,’ Say Pro-Lifers

On April 16, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) eliminated the requirement that applicants for federal research funding submit to a fetal-tissue ethics review. Since December 2019, proposals involving tissue from aborted babies had to receive a green light from an Ethics Advisory Board. At that board’s only meeting during the Trump presidency, it rejected 13 of 14 applications.

By disbanding the ethics board, says HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, the Biden administration is permitting scientists “to do the research it takes to make sure that we are incorporating innovation and getting all of those types of treatments and therapies out there to the American people.”

Fetal Tissue Research: Proponents Call Move a Shift Toward Science

The scientific community praised Friday’s announcement, which came from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Christine Mummery, president of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, says researchers appreciate “that the Biden administration is lifting the arbitrary restrictions on promising biomedical research using human fetal tissue.” She calls the decision a “return to evidence-based policy-making,” saying the NIH needs to be “insulated from political interference.”

Researcher Lawrence Goldstein, the only ethics-board member who had worked with fetal tissue, calls the ban reversal “an unqualified win.” He says he hopes projects that the board had “killed…will come back” and that we won’t “enter an era of policy yo-yo as we change administrations.”

Biden Destroys Trump’s Pro-Life Progress

Biden Destroys Trump’s Pro-Life Progress

In just a few months as president, Biden has revved up America’s abortion machine, temporarily slowed during the Trump administration. All progress is being rolled back.

President Trump enacted a regulation closing a loophole in Title X that allowed medical professionals at government-supported clinics, unable to perform abortions themselves, to refer women to abortion clinics such as Planned Parenthood. Last week, Biden revoked this rule.

Beyond simply resuming Obama-era policies, Biden is expanding abortion access through telemedicine. With a new FDA policy, abortifacients become available with remote appointments DIY abortion drug Mifepristone delivered right to one’s door. This new update is being marketed as an effort to protect women’s lives from exposure to COVID-19.

Biden has also lifted Trump’s 2019 restrictions on the use of fetal tissue for federally funded medical research. As of Friday, taxpayer-funded laboratories will be able to use fetal tissue from abortions in their research. While not always supported by the government, fetal tissue has been used in vaccine research since the 1960s and has contributed to vaccines for rubella, rabies, and hepatitis. But in the 21st century, technology has improved, and such methods are increasingly outdated, as other research options are available. The Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines did not use fetal tissue in the research process. Instead, they used innovative mRNA vectors — the first widespread vaccines to do so. The creators of the recently suspended Johnson & Johnson vaccine used aborted fetal cells in their research.

Procter & Gamble Will Raise Prices in September

Price increases on baby products, adult diapers and feminine-care brands come as the company reports slowing growth in latest quarter

Procter & Gamble Co. PG 0.83% this fall will start charging more for household staples from diapers to tampons, the latest and biggest consumer-products company to announce price hikes.

The maker of Gillette razors and Tide detergent cited rising costs for raw materials, such as resin and pulp, and higher expenses to transport goods.

The announcement, which came as P&G disclosed its quarterly financial results, follows a similar move last month by rival Kimberly-Clark Corp.

P&G said organic sales grew 4% in the quarter ended March 31, with the biggest gains in the company’s beauty and fabric and home-care units.

The results mark P&G’s slowest overall organic sales increase since 2018, following a year in which the Covid-19 pandemic created high demand for products such as cleaning supplies, paper towels and toilet paper.

“It’s a different situation, as everywhere in the world countries are in very different places as far as coming out of the pandemic,” operating chief Jon Moeller said in an interview. “There is very strong consumption across the board.”
