🤓 Republican US Senator @TedCruzTX has proposed his own solution to expired state and federal unemployment benefits, inviting people affected by it to simply find a job.

😏 At first glance, it is a fairly logical and simple solution, given that there are a huge number of low-paying vacancies on the labor market. However, we have yet to see the ramifications of the Democratic Pandora's Box, opened by the unemployment benefits

🦒 A woman at a Santa Monica beach casually walked a giraffe on a leash on 6 September.

A local beach club hired the giraffe, named Jax, to entertain people at a Labour Day party. Jax was later seen surrounded by children and guests.

The picture turned out to be controversial and divided Twitter: some excited users said the animal had made their day, while others stressed that it was heartless and distasteful to exploit Jax in hot weather.

More cheers as the Robert E. Lee statue is sawed in half to be transported to a state government storage facility.

It was erected in 1890, during the heyday of the ‘Lost Cause’ revisionism, a movement in the Southern US that sought to reinterpret the causes of the 1861-65 American Civil War and paint Confederate figures as heroes.

Well, it turns out there is a way.

🤔 Why do the Dems care about this law? Why are they so adamantly against it?

Here's the thing: The Dems assert that any law that hinders access to the ballot box for any eligible voter will potentially impinge on black and Hispanic voters more than white voters. A 2014 Government Accounting Office study suggested that voter ID laws might reduce voting as much as 2-3 percent.
