Far left Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones is using inflammatory racial rhetoric to attack Republicans over redistricting in the state. Appearing Sunday on MS NOW’s “Velshi,” the Democrat accused white Republican lawmakers of turning the Tennessee Capitol into what he called a “Capitol Klan rally.” Jones claimed the redistricting process was designed to weaken black political power and said Republicans had “spit on the graves” of civil rights leaders who fought for the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Jones said he walked into the Capitol in 2026 but felt as though he had walked out “pre-1965,” accusing GOP lawmakers of trying to turn back the clock on history.

He also invoked his grandparents’ experience leaving the South during the Jim Crow era, saying the redistricting fight brought him “grief and anger and righteous indignation.” Republicans have long argued that redistricting is a standard constitutional process carried out after census data and legal review, and that Democrats often use accusations of racism when they lose political ground. Jones’ comments show that Democrats will shamefully exploit racial tensions in an attempt to keep power — even if it puts their opponents in danger. Rather than debate district lines on the merits, are framing Republican election reforms as attacks on civil rights. In actuality, Republicans are upholding civil rights by stopping racial preferences in drawing lines. Republicans are no longer scared of being called racist to move forward and do what it takes to stop Democrat power grabs, and tantrums from low IQ clowns like Justin Jones will not be changing that.

Child care costs have become one of the biggest financial pressures facing American families, often rivaling rent, mortgage payments, or student loans. Democrats are trying to make child care a major midterm issue, arguing that Republicans have failed to lower costs. But their answer is largely more subsidies, more federal spending, and more government control. The Trump administration is taking a different approach: lower costs by cutting red tape and expanding parental choice. The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Administration for Children and Families, is rolling out new rules and guidance aimed at streamlining child care regulations. The plan targets licensing barriers, credentialing mandates, staff-ratio rules, and group-size limits that officials say drive up costs for providers and, ultimately, parents. One major change would replace degree and credit-hour requirements for child care workers with competency-based standards. In plain English, skills would matter more than academic credentials.

The administration also wants to level the playing field for smaller, home-based, community, and faith-based providers that have often been boxed out by rules favoring large institutional centers. The broader goal is to put parents in charge. Instead of funneling money only into government-approved programs, the administration wants to expand vouchers so families can choose the child care option that works best for them. The plan also includes flexibility for low-income married couples under TANF rules, making it easier for one parent to stay home or reduce work hours to care for a child. The message is clear: families need choice, competition, and flexibility — not another top-down federal program.

Former FBI Director James Comey is set to be arraigned June 30, with a trial scheduled for July 15, after federal prosecutors charged him over a social media post they say could be read as a threat against President Donald Trump. The case centers on an Instagram post from last May showing seashells arranged to read “86 47.” Prosecutors argue that, given the context, a reasonable person could interpret the message as a serious expression of intent to harm the 47th president. Comey is expected to appear in federal court in North Carolina before U.S. District Judge Louise Flanagan and enter a not guilty plea.

President Trump criticized Comey over the weekend, reposting an old video of the former FBI director on Truth Social and calling him a “dirty cop.” Comey denies any intent to promote violence. In a video after the indictment, he said the image was misunderstood and came from a beach walk with his wife. He said he removed the post once concerns were raised, adding, “I don’t want to be associated with violence of any kind.” But prosecutors say Comey consciously disregarded the risk that the message would be viewed as threatening. FBI Director Kash Patel defended the charges, saying Comey knew the attention and consequences such a post would bring. It is time for powerful officials who spent years targeting Trump with conspiracies based on lies to pay the piper. They must be charged with treason and locked up.
