JD Vance’s Mother-In-Law Led the DEI Charge He Reviles excerpts: While Vice President JD Vance rips through DEI initiatives across the nation, his mother-in-law, Lakshmi Chilukuri, is a proud pioneer of diversity, equity, and inclusion at her own job. The provost of the University of California San Diego’s Sixth College and a teaching professor in its Department of Microbiology, CBS News reports that Chilukuri’s seasoned career in the university has seen her help create a pilot course on race, ethnicity, and gender in biology and medicine and serve on the university’s biological sciences diversity committee. In a 2018 announcement appointing Chilukuri as provost, UC San Diego (UCSD) Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla described the vice president’s mother-in-law as a “creative and dynamic educator” who has a “demonstrated record of commitment to undergraduate education, equity, and diversity. BRAIN DEAD JD VANCE WHO KNOWINGLY PROMOTED LIES ABOUT MIGRANTS EATING PETS & SPEWED HATE-FILLED NONSENSE ABOUT CHILDLESS CAT LADIES IS BOASTING ABOUT HIS RACIST IGNORANCE OF DEI THAT MAGA GOP RACIST LIES...PETER THIEL MISFIT! In a statement to the Daily Beast, Vance said, “I don’t like DEI, and I’m proud of what our administration has done on that front,” referring to the sweeping efforts by the Trump administration to end DEI across federal agencies. “But I love my mother-in-law,” the vice president continued. “If she doesn’t share my views on DEI I suppose I’ll have to do what 99 percent of Americans do when confronted with a family member who doesn’t always agree with them: get over it.” “I’ll choose instead to focus on her kindness and the fact that she’s an incredible mother and loving grandmother to the most important people in my life,” he continued. “This story exists because CBS has decided that harassing my mother in law is a reasonable price in order to attack President Trump.” THE STORY EXISTS BECAUSE YOU'RE A BRAIN DEAD BOOB WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH TRUTH & FACTS! | |

GOP lawmaker abruptly ends hearing after being confronted about misgendering Democrat THANK YOU CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM KEATING! YOU DID MASSSACHUSETTS PROUD BY CALLING OUT AN IGNORANT BIGOT! A House Republican abruptly ended a congressional hearing he was chairing Tuesday after his Democratic colleague called him out for misgendering Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender lawmaker in Congress. The confrontation occurred during a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe hearing, when Rep. Keith Self of Texas called on the Delaware Democrat to speak and introduced her as “Mr. McBride.” McBride quickly shot back, responding, “Thank you, Madam Chair.” Rep. William Keating of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on the subcommittee, then stepped in. He interrupted McBride and asked the Texas Republican to repeat himself. "Yes, it's a — we have set the standard on the floor of the House," Self replied, "and I'm simply —" “What is that standard, Mr. Chairman?” Keating fired back. “Would you repeat what you just said when you introduced a duly elected representative from the United States of America? Please!” “I will,” Self said, before misgendering McBride again. “Mr. Chairman, have you no decency? I mean, I’ve come to know you a little bit, but this is not decent,” Keating said, before cutting off Self’s attempt to move on. “You will not continue with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way.” Self then abruptly banged his gavel and adjourned the hearing. BECAUSE HE'S A MAGA MAGGOT COWARD! Self later posted a clip of the incident on X and pointed to a Trump administration executive order that proclaims there are only two biological sexes, one of the administration's many actions targeting trans people. “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female,” he wrote. HIS CONSTITUENTS HATE HIM: Texas Republican Repeatedly Heckled at Tense Town Hall: 'Vote You Out'McBride's identity has been a topic of preoccupation by her Republican colleagues long before she was sworn into the House. She has tried to distance herself from the GOP's histrionics and stayed focused on her messaging about serving her constituents. McBride appeared to address the exchange in a post on X later Tuesday, writing, "No matter how I’m treated by some colleagues, nothing diminishes my awe and gratitude at getting to represent Delaware in Congress." | |
USAID order to delete classified records sparks flurry of litigation DOJ LIES! USAID order to delete classified records sparks flurry of litigationU.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) employees and outside groups are fighting an order from the agency’s leadership to shred and burn its classified documents as well as personnel records. An email obtained by The Hill sent by USAID’s acting executive secretary instructs remaining employees at the dismantled agencies to “shred as many documents as possible first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break.” The move alarmed those fighting to restore the agency — who stressed the destruction could run afoul of public records laws and hinder any efforts to rehire employees. It has also raised questions over whether it will impact the ability of the public to scrutinize the role the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) played at USAID. In two different suits, an organization representing USAID employees along with one representing contractors asked judges for a restraining order to block the agency from destroying the documents — arguing it could impact ongoing litigation and violate their obligation to retain relevant evidence. “This directive suggests a rapid destruction of agency records on a large scale that could not plausibly involve a reasoned assessment of the records retention obligations for the relevant documents under the [Federal Records Act] or in relation to this ongoing litigation,” the American Foreign Service Association (AFSA) said in its suit. The Personal Services Contractor Association in its suit said Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys have “not confirmed or denied or explained” the order. They also asked “how and why burning and shredding is consistent with preservation obligations in litigation, which documents are being destroyed and why, who authorized it and what DOJ is doing to stop it.” In its suit with AFSA, the Justice Department agreed to pause the shredding, but otherwise asked the court to deny requests for a restraining order. That filing said AFSA accused the agency of “an indiscriminate purge” of documents “based on one out-of-context email.” “Plaintiffs have seriously misapprehended the facts. Trained USAID staff sorted and removed classified documents in order to clear the space formerly occupied by USAID for its new tenant,” DOJ said in court filings. | |
