In a letter to the president, 26 Republican attorneys general demanded the Biden administration withdraw its Department of Agriculture’s Title IX interpretation, which will take billions of dollars in National School Lunch Program funding away from schools that don’t let biological males use the girls' bathroom or compete in girls’ sports. The department's interpretation violated the Administrative Procedures Act, since it was issued as a memorandum rather than a proposed rule for the public to comment on, the attorneys general wrote.
The Biden administration has a history of going around the public when issuing policies, Matt Bowman, a senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, told the Washington Free Beacon. Before the Supreme Court blocked it in January, a mandate without public comment from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration required that workers at businesses with 100 or more employees get vaccinated or submit a negative COVID test weekly.
With the exception of New Hampshire attorney general John Formella, every Republican attorney general joined the coalition, which is led by Tennessee attorney general Herbert Slatery.
That's a terrifying prospect for ex-aides who recall a "toxic" and "reactionary" workplace infused with "a sense of paranoia in that office that you never knew when she was going to snap at you."
One former staffer who had mostly positive things to say about Harris conceded that her staffers were often "so stressed out that they were making themselves sick. Is that toxic? I don't know."
The comments from former staffers echo those published earlier this month in Politico. "People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses, and it's an abusive environment," said one person with knowledge of Harris's management style. "It's not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It's not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s—t."
Some people have defended the vice president against the charges of staff abuse, including Anita Dunn, a senior White House aide who served as a "damage control" adviser to disgraced Hollywood pervert Harvey Weinstein. According to Dunn, the situation in the VP's office was "not anywhere near what you are describing," though she declined to elaborate as to whether it was better or worse than the situation being described.
Within the community of traumatized former Harris staffers, the Politico report "went around like wildfire," as many "recognized treatment they had seen" during their time in her office. One former aide even forwarded the story to their therapist along with a note that read: "Rarely in life are we publicly vindicated." The ex-staffer told Insider they sought therapy to "resolve trauma from the on-the-job abuse" after Harris was selected as Biden's running mate in 2020.
Their accounts described Harris as an unpredictable boss who would unleash "a lot of verbal abuse" upon staffers who failed to fulfill her erratic demands, or even for handing her the wrong type of pen. The traumatic work environment could explain why Harris had one of the highest staff turnover rates among U.S. senators between 2017 and 2020.
A former aide who worked for Harris in the California attorney general's office said the reports coming out of Harris's office just a few months after Biden was inaugurated were "very concerning" and delivered a vague yet ominous warning to the American people: "It's important to both the nation and the Biden administration that this doesn't happen again."
Legendary singer Nina Simone’s granddaughter accused Vice President Harris of causing the family to lose control of Simone's estate.
A 2016 settlement regarding the Nina Simone Charitable Trust refers to Harris multiple times for her "primary responsibility for supervising charitable trusts in California" as state attorney general.
"The Attorney General asserts that [Lisa Simone] Kelly breached her fiduciary duty to the Estate and to the Charitable Trust and wrongfully diverted Estate assets. The Attorney General seeks to surcharge Kelly for amounts totaling $5,937,749.42 plus over $2.5 million in interest, which the Attorney General contends is far more than one-half of the Estate's value during [Lisa Simone] Kelly's administration of the Estate," the settlement reads.
ReAnna Simone Kelly said there is "a lot of slander" about her mother Lisa Simone Kelly.
"I’m going to leave it at that for now. Do your research if you like, but know that there is A LOT of slander out there on my mother. There was a lot of false information put out there that is NOT TRUE. Listen. WE LIVED IT. We are still living in the aftermath of this," she wrote.
"OH WAIT, While we’re asking Kamala questions ask her why after all of this pain and suffering she put us through a Nina Simone song was sang at the inauguration to swear her in as VP?! She knew what she was doing," ReAnna Simone Kelly continued.
George Soros spent more than $40 million in the past decade to elect scores of liberal prosecutors in half of America's largest jurisdictions, many of which are now roiled by crime.
The Democratic megadonor has backed 75 so-called justice reform prosecutors through direct contributions, PACs, and other third-party entities, the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund revealed in a June report. Though many had little prosecutorial experience when elected, they represent 72 million Americans in some of the nation's most populous municipalities. Ten Soros prosecutors, including Philadelphia district attorney Larry Krasner (D.) and Los Angeles district attorney George Gascon (D.), received $13 million in just the last four years, going on to win races where they had vastly outraised their competition—sometimes by as much as 90 percent. In each race, Soros was the single greatest donor to the campaign.
Today, President Donald Trump will name 10 nominees to lower federal courts today. The appointments are just the beginning of the President’s plan to flood the judiciary with Conservative judges.

Striking State Attorneys ‘fight’ AG over ‘lay-off threat’
It seems Ghana’s State Attorneys are bent on having their demands of better conditions of service met before they return to work.
The Association of State Attorneys declared a strike in October 2016, in protest of government’s failure to meet its demand for improved conditions of service. Several efforts to get them to return to work have proved futile.
