💥 Radio icon Howard Stern says it could be his “civic duty” to run for president in 2024 if Donald Trump makes another attempt at the White House.
Stern even gamed out how he would handle the debates: by playing the recordings of Trump pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to overturn the 2020 election results.
“I would just sit there and play that f*cking clip of him trying to fix the election over and over again,” Stern said. “There’s no way I’d lose.”

🟩 Big cannabis companies are backing a new, celebrity-infused campaign to enlist marijuana users to pressure members of Congress to legalize pot nationwide.
Federal legalization has advanced somewhat but still faces strong headwinds on Capitol Hill. The "Cannabis in Common" initiative launched Tuesday aims to change that – and it has nabbed actor Seth Rogen and comedian Sarah Silverman to push its message.
"Legalizing cannabis is long past due, and if we make enough noise, we can make it happen," Rogen, co-founder of a cannabis company and enthusiastic user of the drug, says in a kickoff video.

😢 Over 1,000 Afghan children were brought to the U.S. without their parents as part of U.S. efforts to evacuate allies after the country fell to the Taliban, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Most of the unaccompanied minors were accidentally separated from their parents or guardians during the evacuation from Kabul, Afghanistan.
The Biden administration doesn’t appear to have a plan to reunite Afghan children with parents who are being held in countries other than the U.S., Reuters reported. There also aren’t enough foster families in the U.S. with the same cultural background as the children.

📊 ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel revealed Tuesday what he thought was at least part of the driving forces behind Vice President Kamala Harris' historically poor approval rating: racism and sexism.
During his opening monologue, Kimmel joked about the reasons Harris' approval rating is so low, claiming it made no sense because "she basically has nothing to do," but ultimately blamed "sexism and racism" amid his comedic attempts.

⚡️ URGENT | Death toll from Astroworld festival jumps to nine after 22-year-old succumbs to injuries
😕 Co-founder of Black Lives Matter of greater New York Hawk Newsome said there would be "bloodshed" and "riots" if Mayor-elect Eric Adams keeps his campaign promise of reinstating a controversial undercover anti-crime unit.
Newsome made his comment following a meeting with Adams. Though the two agreed on several points, they disagreed over reinstating plainclothes cops to combat the city's rising violent crime rate.
"If they think they are going back to the old ways of policing then we're going to take to the streets again," Newsome said to reporters outside of Brooklyn Borough Hall after the meeting. "There will be riots. There will be fire, and there will be bloodshed."

BLM NY co-founder Chivona Newsome stated that Mayor-elect Eric Adams longs for a New York where "Black folks get their heads cracked by law-enforcement" after the new mayor doubled down on his plan to bring back a version of the NYPD’s controversial undercover Anti-Crime Unit.
"Mayor-elect Adams is a bargain-basement Giuliani knockoff who longs for old New York where Black folks get their heads cracked by law enforcement and women sit quietly in the back of the room"
