...On January 6, Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and clashed with police which resulted in five deaths.
Brooks was one of several GOP politicians who falsely claimed there was voter fraud in the 2020 election.
"Brooks—acting in his personal capacity— conspired with the other Defendants to undermine the election results by alleging, without evidence, that the election had been rigged and by pressuring elected officials, courts, and ultimately Congress to reject the results," Swalwell's lawsuit said.
The lawsuit said Brooks "directly incited the violence at the Capitol that followed" when he addressed the crowd before the riot... quoted from

CNN Journo Roasted After Asking White House Press Sec Jen Psaki a 'Bootlicking' Question
Recently, communication between journalists and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has seen criticism, as many suggest that some correspondents are soft on the Biden administration. Earlier in the week, the press corps at a White House briefing was mocked for asking questions about the Biden family cat, instead of other issues.
Jun. 7 - CNN journalist Brian Stelter landed in hot water on Sunday after asking White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki what, in her opinion, the media get wrong when covering the work of the Biden administration.
"Busy summer ahead – infrastructure, election reform. What does the press get wrong when covering Biden's agenda? When you watch the news, when you read the news, what do you think we get wrong?", Stelter questioned during a one-on-one interview with Psaki.Psaki decided not to lash out at media, only sharing her views on the process of passing legislation and how "messy" it can be, noting that she does not know whether it is "the press getting it wrong".
"I'll leave you to the critique of that, Brian", Psaki stated.But it was not Psaki who lambasted the media, but rather netizens watching the interview who immediately deemed Stelter's question "bootlicking" and "pathetic"... more

White House rejects GOP infrastructure counteroffer, saying it does not meet Biden's objectives
Jun. 6 - (CNN)President Joe Biden on Friday rejected a new counteroffer made by Republicans on infrastructure despite a $50 billion increase in spending, telling the GOP's key negotiator that the new offer did not meet his policy goals.
And as the talks between Senate Republicans led by West Virginia's Shelley Moore Capito and the White House hit a wall, a bipartisan group of senators could emerge as the next key negotiating partners with Biden on infrastructure. Whether they can reach a deal remains to be seen but the group has been working on a proposal that it could unveil as soon as next week, according to sources familiar with the effort.
The group includes Sens. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican; Susan Collins, a Maine Republican; Joe Manchin, a West Virgina Democrat; Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican; Mitt Romney, a Utah Republican; Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat; Kyrsten Sinema, an Arizona Democrat; and Jon Tester, a Montana Democrat.Capito presented the new Republican counteroffer on infrastructure, "which consisted of an about $50 billion increase in spending across a number of infrastructure programs," according to the readout from White House press secretary Jen Psaki. Psaki said the President felt the offer "did not meet his objectives.""The President expressed his gratitude for her effort and goodwill, but also indicated that the current offer did not meet his objectives to grow the economy, tackle the climate crisis, and create new jobs," the readout stated in part... more

Statement by President Joe Biden Recognizing the 40th Year of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic
June 05, 2021 • Statements and Releases
Forty years ago today, five young men in Los Angeles were confirmed as the first
known patients stricken with an illness that
the world would later come to know as AIDS. In the decades since, more than 700,000 Americans and 32.7 million people worldwide have been lost to AIDS-related illnesses – a heartbreaking human toll that has disproportionately devastated LGBTQ+ communities, communities of color, and underserved and marginalized people around the world.
On the 40th year of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, we remember the lives that were cut short by this terrible disease – including so many whose pain went unacknowledged for far too long. We also celebrate the resilience and dignity of the over 38 million people worldwide, including approximately 1.2 million Americans, living with HIV.
Thanks to the tireless dedication of activists, scientific researchers, and medical professionals, we have made tremendous progress to advance HIV research, prevention, treatment, and care. And after years of neglect, discrimination, fear-mongering, and limited action by government officials and the public, America has grown to become a leading force in the fight to end the HIV crisis. Through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief – and as the largest donor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria – the U.S. has invested more than $85 billion since 2002 to support HIV programs around the world, including $250 million provided in my American Rescue Plan to address the impacts of COVID-19 on our progress in the fight against HIV. All told, these efforts are estimated to have saved more than 20 million lives globally. To help accelerate and strengthen our efforts to end the HIV epidemic in the United States, I have requested $670 million from Congress, an increase of $267 million over previous levels, to aggressively reduce new HIV cases by increasing access to treatment, expanding the use of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and ensuring equitable access to services free from stigma and discrimination.
Despite the progress we’ve made, our work is not yet finished. In honor of all those we have lost and all those living with the virus – and the selfless caregivers, advocates, and loved ones who have helped carry the burden of this crisis – we must rededicate ourselves to reducing HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths. We must continue empowering researchers, scientists, and health care providers to ensure equitable access to prevention, care, and treatment in every community – particularly for communities of color and the LGBTQ+ community. And we must provide moral leadership to eradicate the stigma and discrimination still faced by those living with HIV, rededicating ourselves to continuing the vital work of ending this epidemic once and for all. source from
