Carville: Parts of Diversity Training Have Become a ‘Racket’
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Democratic strategist James Carville argued that some diversity training “has hit the racket stage.”
Carville said, “I’m sure I do things in my everyday life that I could do better in terms of that. But you start out and you say, ‘All right, you sorry white sack of racist shit,’ and then, okay, well, I don’t want to listen to you anymore. You’ve lost me there. If you start out and you say there are ways that you communicate with people that you don’t realize that there are things that you’re doing that send the wrong signal. I’m all ears. But — and by the way, this guy Eric Hoffer…said, every movement starts out as a cause, morphs into a business, and ends up a racket. Part of this diversity training stuff, I’m sure, has hit the racket stage.”
Carville later stated that some diversity training is beneficial, but anything can be taken too far.

Wasserman Schultz: GOP ‘Willing to Abandon Our System of Government’ to Install Trump
Wasserman Schultz said, “Make no mistake, this was a domestic terror attack whose purpose was to overturn the results of a legitimate election. You have an attack that was incited by the then president of the United States, the executive branch on the citadel of our democracy, the United States Capitol, the legislative branch to prevent the end of his own presidential term and overturn an election. If that doesn’t cry out for an independent investigation, I don’t know what does. How will we prevent another attack if we don’t get to the bottom of how this one occurred and do everything we can to put in place measures to make sure it can’t happen again?”

Since the nose doesn't know pot is now legal, K-9s retire
As Virginia prepares to legalize adult possession of up to an ounce of marijuana on July 1, drug-sniffing police dogs from around the state are being forced into early retirement, following a trend in other states where legalization has led to K-9s being put out to pasture earlier than planned.

I found this on Huffpost, not sure what to make of it.
The Insurrection Isn’t Over
The Republican Party is more in thrall than ever before to the lies that led to a deadly attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6 meant to stop the peaceful transfer of power. The latest evidence: Republicans killed a bipartisan bill to create a commission to investigate the insurrection.
The bipartisan commission could have answered key questions about the attack, including what involvement and response former President Donald Trump and key lawmakers had. But most Republicans don’t want Trump to be held accountable for his effort to subvert democracy by insisting the election was stolen. They’re too busy helping him feed the myth.
The stolen election lie that inspired the Jan. 6 insurrection now inspires voter suppression legislation that could be used by partisan forces to prevent Democrats from winning in 2022 or 2024. Republicans aren’t just trying to fix elections to benefit them in the future. In states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and New Hampshire, they’re still trying to change the 2020 election results.
This is not just a top-down phenomenon driven by the ex-president from his redoubt in Mar-a-Lago. The stolen election myth is driving the majority of the party’s grassroots as well.
The Republican Party’s orientation around the tale of a stolen election comes as it finds itself in an increasingly precarious political position in national elections. Republicans have lost the presidential popular vote in four straight elections and in seven out of the last eight. The party no longer operates as a national majority.
But the stolen election myth provides a narrative for why the Republican Party can no longer win the popular vote. It also justifies the party’s anti-majoritarian turn. It is the reason for Trump’s continued power over the party. And it could lead to further violence as the former president or other figures continue to insist that their supporters cannot trust the nation’s democratic processes and must take dramatic action to overcome them

Should bipartisan panel investigate Jan. 6 Capitol attack? Louisiana U.S. senators split
“The investigations will happen with or without Republicans," said Sen. Bill Cassidy, who voted to move forward. "To ensure the investigations are fair, impartial and focused on the facts, Republicans need to be involved.”
