American commentators and journalists often appear on Ukrainian television expressing solidarity and offering analysis. Russia’s airwaves have largely been free of U.S. voices, save for occasional clips from American airwaves by Ukraine critics such as Tulsi Gabbard , Tucker Carlson and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene . Most U.S. guests on Russian media come from the fringe, including former Virginia State Sen. Richard Black , who associates with the Lyndon LaRouche movement’s Schiller Institute, and Scott Ritter , an embittered and disgraced former American intelligence officer turned critic of the war in Iraq. More surprising are the appearances of several establishment figures: Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs ; the National Interest’s former national security correspondent, Mark Episkopos ; and Dimitri Simes , until recently president of the Center for the National Interest. They willingly appear on the programs of Russia’s most odious state propagandist, Vladimir Solovyov .

Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard left the Democratic Party before campaign with far-right Republicans. "Nope," Sanders said when Insider asked if he'd like to talk about former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, an early supporter of his 2016 presidential campaign. "I'm not surprised," said Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia, another former Armed Services Committee colleague of Gabbard's. Hawaii's two Democratic senators — Mazie Hirono and Brian Schatz — both declined to speculate about what may be driving Gabbard's political movement, despite serving with her in the Hawaii delegation. "I think she's home," Hirono said repeatedly when asked what she thought had happened, referring to Gabbard's political home.

A claim that schools are placing litter boxes in student restrooms for those who identify as “furries” is circulating on social media again. The latest claim appears to originate in an October episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast where host Joe Rogan told former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard a story about litter boxes at an unidentified school. In July, Reuters Fact Check explored and debunked claims surrounding “furries” in detail (here) and previously fact checked claims related to litter boxes in student restrooms (here), (here). Fact checking organizations including the Associated Press, PolitiFact and USA Today have also debunked claims about litter boxes in schools across the U.S. (here), (here) and (here).

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is scheduled Tuesday to campaign for Kari Lake, the Republican nominee for governor of Arizona, just days after she announced she was leaving the Democratic Party. Lake's campaign said Gabbard would introduce Lake at a GOP forum in Chandler. But she will now campaign for a Trump-endorsed candidate who has become a prominent election denier in Arizona. All three of the candidates scheduled to take the stage Tuesday have denied the results of the 2020 election. Doug Ducey and former Vice President Mike Pence, who both rebuffed former President Donald Trump's pressure to overturn the 2020 election results, backed Lake and Masters.

There is no evidence that any school has deployed litter boxes for students to use because they identify as cats. The rumor of litter boxes in schools appears to have begun among parents on social media, and one of the first schools to confront the falsehood was in Canada last fall. Catalina Lauf, a Republican congressional nominee in Illinois, tweeted this month that schoolchildren were using litter boxes in her state. Some say litter boxes are located in “transgender bathrooms” in schools. Meanwhile on TikTok, one video claiming “kids are now requesting litter boxes at school” collected 3 million views on the platform.

Just three years ago, then-Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard stood on the Democratic presidential debate stage and pitched herself as a leader committed to moving the party forward. That Gabbard is tough to square with the bitter also-ran who told the world on Twitter on Tuesday morning that she was officially leaving the Democratic Party. Gabbard’s minute-long good riddance video might have been a bigger media surprise had she not spent much of the last two years savaging the Democratic Party and drifting relentlessly rightward. Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta was more succinct in his snark, tweeting, “Wait, Tulsi Gabbard was a Democrat?”Gabbard’s reasons for leaving read like a typical Tucker Carlson monologue. On Wednesday, just a day after announcing her departure from the Democratic Party, Gabbard announced the launch of “The Tulsi Gabbard Show” on Apple Podcasts.

WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii announced Tuesday that she's leaving the Democratic Party because she said it's "now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness." Gabbard said that the Democratic Party stands for a government of, by and for the "powerful elite" and called on her fellow "independent-minded Democrats" to leave the party as well. Though Gabbard ran for the Democratic nomination for president in the 2020 cycle, she has often questioned where the party has stood on various issues and has criticized Democratic leaders. She served in the House from 2013 to 2021 and as the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2013 to 2016. Since her White House run, Gabbard has frequently appeared as a political commentator on Fox News, where she has mostly railed against Democrats.

De asemenea, ar anula condamnările federale pentru infracţiunile minore la legislaţia privind stupefiantele, care conduce, potrivit susţinătorilor proiectului de lege, la încarcerare în masă afectând în special minorităţile. Potrivit organizaţiei pro-canabis NORML, este prima dată în ultimii 50 de ani când o cameră a Congresului a reexaminat clasificarea canabisului. Proiectul de lege ar introduce, de asemenea, o taxă de 5% asupra vânzării canabisului şi a derivaţilor acestuia, pentru a finanţa reintegrarea deţinuţilor condamnaţi şi ajutor pentru punctele legale de vânzare a canabisului, o industrie în plină expansiune în valoare de mai multe miliarde de dolari. Votul a avut loc la două zile după o altă decizie istorică la ONU. Comisia Naţiunilor Unite privind stupefiantele a aprobat miercuri eliminarea canabisului de pe cele mai stricte liste de control, pe care figura de 59 de ani şi care a descurajat utilizarea acestuia în scopuri medicale.
