Rep. Sara Jacobs on extremism and 'conflict entrepreneurs'
Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (D-CA) studied violent extremism while working for the State Department, then saw it first-hand when rioters stormed the Capitol.
She says Trump’s acquittal shows “there’s something very broken in our democracy” but defends the value of the trial.
She warns against “conflict entrepreneurs” who “take existing fault lines in our society” and “mobilize around them using the enabling environment of our media ecosystem.”

How Did '4/20' Become
a Holiday for Weed?.
One common theory is that it stems
from a California criminal code for
those who distribute the drug.
According to CNN, California's 420 code is actually for obstructing entry on public land.
The state's medical marijuana
program was created from a bill
with the number 420.
Oaksterdam Cannabis Museum's Chris Conrad
says "4/20" started as a code in
Marin County, California, at San Rafael High School.
In the 1970s, a group called
"The Waldos" would get together at
4:20 PM to smoke pot.
The time of the day was convenient as it
was right after school ended with
no parental supervision just yet.
"4/20" became a code word that allowed
them to notify each other in front of
unsuspecting parents.
From there, the phrase likely
spread across the country

Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood stressed to the

come from direct negotiations between the parties.”.
Similarly, deputy State Department
spokesman Vedant Patel said that the U.S. has...
... “been very clear consistently that premature actions
in New York — even with the best intentions — will
not achieve statehood for the Palestinian people.”.

be granted by the president.
Without an extension, the earliest a ban
could be implemented is January 2025.
