7. Bud Light screwed up again, this time four disgusting human beings were part of a staged photoshoot holding bottles of Bud Light. While the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco was bad, Bud Light’s brand was damaged even more when California’s Democrats U.S. Reps. Ted Lieu, Mark Takano, Judy Chu, and Adam Schiff posed with Bud Light.
6. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is not done with his war on the House of Mouse. He joked there could be a new prison built near the property and will work to revoke a deal Disney tried to strike with outgoing members of their development board attempt in an attempt to blunt the governor’s powers.
5. China was running a secret police station in New York City and now two American citizens have been arrested for their part in it. Some of the things the station did were innocuous like helping Chinese citizens renew Chinese driver’s licenses, but they also were using the station to do things like tracking down a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil for the communist Chinese government.
4. Two media stories involving claims of racism, one involving a white man who has been charged with shooting a black 16-year-old who reportedly knocked on the wrong door looking for his sisters. Another case involves police officers not being charged after shooting a black man dozens of times after he fled police on a traffic stop, shot at police officers, ran from them on foot, exited a vehicle in a ski mask, refused orders before being tased, and was then shot as officers believed he reached for his waistband.
3. Republicans put Democrats on defense when they held a congressional hearing from New York City on crime and lawlessness. Democrats had no choice but to pretend this was a made-up issue, which did not go over well with the parents of dead people who were in attendance to testify.
2. Alabama Democrats are ready to push for gun control of some kind, but this seems unlikely to pass. The attempted ban on assault weapons by State Rep. Juandalynn Givan (D-Birmingham) is just another push for the same policies that they already wanted and can’t get accomplished. Gov. Kay Ivey has not yet taken a position on these bills that do not exist yet.
1. We still have very little information about what happened in Dadeville on Saturday night. Four were killed but the number of shooters, types of guns, nor the events of that evening are known. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency says that the shooters in the Dadeville Sweet 16 shooting were likely using handguns and the total number of wounded shooting victims has risen from 28 to 32. ALEA continues seeking more information about that night.
