Clip of the day:
No More Masks
The federal mask mandate was ended yesterday when a federal judge in Florida ruled the CDC overstepped its authority. 35-year-old Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle ruled the CDC did not adequately explain its rationale for the mandate to remain in place. The TSA will not enforce the mask mandate starting today with United, Delta, Alaska, and other airliners following suit. Fun fact: Judge Mizelle clerked for Clarence Thomas. Go deeper with CNBC.
Libs of TikTok
If you’re not following Libs of TikTok on Twitter, you should. The account has grown to 668K followers by highlighting ridiculous examples of progressives saying outlandish things. Libs of TikTok was an anonymous account, until yesterday. This article by Taylor Lorez at The Washington Post doxxed the account. (Doxxing is the act of revealing private information about someone against their will.) The punchline is Lorez had a breakdown on MSNBC complaining about someone doxxing her previously:
Trump 2024?
Democrats are panicked over the 2024 election according to a story from Axios. The reason is the Senate map in 2024 is extremely unfavorable for Democrats. Theoretically, Trump could be elected President with a filibuster-proof Senate majority. The best quote from the Axios article:

Youtube Removes Tucker Carlson Clip
Youtube removed a clip of Tucker Carlson interviewing an individual who detransitioned to her gender assigned at birth. The clip was deemed to “violate YouTube's policy on spam, deceptive practices, and scams.” This is from The Post Millenial:
"Thank you for speaking up, because your voice does matter, I think in this conversation, but you felt what every young woman I've ever met, felt at a certain age, which is uncomfortable with yourself. And it feels like you were exploited at that moment of weakness," Carlson said to Kerschner.
"Yeah, absolutely. I mean, as you said, it's completely normal for not only young girls, but often young boys to feel uncomfortable with themselves uncomfortable with their body. But we have this ideology that is especially prevalent online that says that if you have those feelings, that means you're trans. I mean, there are literally people who say, if you don't even like your voice on a recording, that's a sign of gender dysphoria, and you need to go see a medical professional because you're trans," Kerschner said.

ICE is getting ready to release as many as 600,000 illegal immigrants into communities before the end of September, the agency told a federal judge, giving an early estimate of the chaos the administration is predicting after it ends the Title 42 pandemic border shutdown.
