‘Stop the Steal’ protesters descend on D.C.
A day before the U.S. Congress convenes to symbolically certify President-election Joe Biden’s victory against Donald Trump, Trump supporters who believe he was robbed of the election gear up in Washington for what local authorities say could be one of the largest pro-Trump rallies since November and December, which were marred by violence.
Thousands of so-called 'Stop the Steal' protesters descended on Washington, D.C.
On Tuesday -- a day before a symbolic vote in Congress to certify President-elect Joe Biden's 2020 victory - to stand in solidarity with President Donald Trump who continues to falsely claim that the election was stolen from him.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMEN FROM ARIZONA IN WASHINGTON, D.C., FOR PRO-TRUMP RALLY: "I just want to see the proof.
I mean, I think that's all that Trump is asking.
He's able to accept the results whatever way they may fall, but just show us the proof that we're asking for and no-one seems to be willing to do that." NAT POP - SPEAKER: "I ask you again, who here is up to the task of not wearing a mask" crowd cheers.
Trump has encouraged his supporters to descend upon the capital as he pursues his effort to overturn the election result, promising Wednesday's protests would be quote "wild." D.C.
Mayor Muriel Bowser called on Washingtonians to avoid the downtown area unless absolutely necessary ahead of the planned demonstrations.
Workers boarded up businesses near the White House on Tuesday as the D.C.
Police chief said the protests could be bigger than November and December rallies marred by stabbings and brawls as hundreds of Proud Boys, a group of self-described "Western chauvinists" and other Trump loyalists clashed with counter-protesters.
There are reports the Proud Boys this time will wear all-black to blend in with Antifa protesters.
Washington, D.C.
Police said they arrested the Proud Boys leader on Monday for destruction of property for burning a Black Lives Matter banner, allegedly taken from a historic Black church.
Police said he was "In possession of two high capacity firearm magazines" at the time of his arrest.
This all comes as a handful of republican Senators plan to defy Republican Party leaders by objecting to Wednesday's certification of Biden's victory, and despite another false claim in a Trump tweet Tuesday, that read quote "The Vice President has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors" -- Pence's advisers said he won't interfere in Wednesday's election count, and will stick to his ceremonial duties.

Kennedy introduced Shanahan as

He went on to call his campaign "a spoiler for President Biden and for President Trump" that
will "forge an unstoppable coalition of homeless Democrats and homeless Republicans.".
Kennedy's independent bid was launched
in October after challenging Biden for
the Democratic nomination.
The Democratic National Committee has condemned Kennedy's bid, saying that he
will only help to draw votes away from
Biden, ensuring Trump's victory. .
Shanahan revealed that she had left the Democratic Party because it was consumed with "elitism" and "winning at all costs.".
I believe I am taking the best
ideals and impulses with me. , Nicole Shanahan, via statement.
Shanahan's professional
colleagues speak highly of her.
She's motivated by trying to change
things for the better and having an
impact on social benefits, Roland Vogl, executive director of Stanford University's
Center for Legal Informatics, via statement.
Don't undersell someone
who comes from outside a
system to change the system. , Bruce Cahan, a professional colleague, via statement.
Announcing Shanahan as his running mate
will likely help Kennedy get on more ballots.
He's currently only confirmed on Utah's ballot

Truth Social Soars Nearly 50% , in First Day on Nasdaq.
The former president's social media company began trading on the Nasdaq on March 26, AP reports. .
Digital World Acquisition Corp. acquired Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., which runs Truth Social, on March 25.
Trump Media has taken the place
of Digital World on the Nasdaq. .
On March 25, Trump said, "Truth Social is doing
very well. It's hot as a pistol and doing great.".
Trump Media's market value was roughly
$6.8 billion prior to trading, AP reports. .
Shares were up 47% at $73.50
just before 10 a.m. ET.
Truth Social's ticker symbol is "DJT.".
Trump launched Truth Social in 2022 after being banned from Twitter and Facebook. .
The social media platform had approximately 5 million users in February, according to research firm Similarweb.
Investors could be in for
a bumpy ride, AP reports.
In a regulatory filing, Trump Media said that it “is highly dependent on the popularity and presence of President Trump.”.
If Trump were to distance himself from the
company, perhaps for reasons such as campaigning
for presidency, Trump Media “would be
significantly disadvantaged,” the filing states. .
Similarly “an adverse outcome in
one or more” of the cases in which the
former president is embroiled could harm
the success of Trump Media and Truth Social.

In addition to $8.5 billion in direct funding, $11 billion will be provided in loans.
The money will come from
the CHIPS and Science Act.

plants in Arizona, Ohio, New Mexico

According to Intel, the new funding and other investments will create a total of 30,000 jobs in manufacturing and construction.

The deal will help the U.S. to produce 20%
of the most advanced computer chips
in the world by 2030, according to
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
Failure is not an option — leading-edge
chips are the core of our innovation

to advances in artificial intelligence
and our military systems, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, on a call with reporters.
We can't just design chips.
We have to make them in America, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, on a call with reporters.
Biden's funding announcement comes
amid a heated presidential campaign.
Administration officials want to get chip technology funding
"out the door as quickly as possible so that the Biden campaign can point to concrete progress on one of the
White House's signature programs," analysts say.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger called the
CHIPS Act "the most critical industrial
policy legislation since World War II.".

This Day in History: , Pluto Is Discovered.
February 18, 1930.
Once believed to be the ninth planet,
Pluto was discovered at the Lowell Observatory
in Flagstaff, AZ, by astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh.
Tombaugh discovered the
tiny dwarf planet using a new astronomic technique
of photographic plates combined with a blink microscope.
Pluto was given the Roman name for the
god of the underworld in Greek mythology
due to its surface temperature of -360° F.
Nearly four billion miles away from the sun,
it takes Pluto approximately
248 years to complete one orbit. .
Pluto's only known moon, Charon,
has a diameter of a mere 737 miles.
In 2006, it was announced that Pluto would
no longer be considered a planet because its
orbit crosses into the orbit of planet Neptune.
While widely referred to as a dwarf planet, many argue that it should still be considered a planet.

16 Republican AGs Sue Biden Administration , for Pausing Liquid Natural Gas Exports.
The lawsuit was filed on March 21.
The states claim that the Biden administration
does not have the authority to deny
"federal permits for new liquid natural
gas (LNG) exports," 'The Hill' reports. .
The 16 attorneys general also allege
that the pause goes against Congress.
This ban disregards statutory mandates,
flouts the normal regulatory process, upends
the industry, disrupts Plaintiffs’ economies,
and subverts our constitutional structure, Via lawsuit.
These unlawful actions leave Plaintiffs
with no choice but to once more turn
to the courts to enforce the law, Via lawsuit.
The suit goes on to allege that the ban is
motivated by politics and comes "in the midst of an election year, and after a sustained pressure campaign from billionaire conglomerates, celebrities, ‘influencers,’ and banks.".
The timing of the decision, in an election
year, raises the likelihood that political
motivations drove the action, House Oversight Committee Republicans,
in a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.
LNG, which is often considered to be
"a bridge between coal and renewables," was first pushed by the Obama administration.
