A lawyer for President Trump appeared in court Friday after being ordered to answer before a grand jury investigating Donald Trump's handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. M. Evan Corcoran, part of Trump’s legal counsel, was forced to appear before a grand jury after a federal judge ruled in favor of the Justice Department's request for additional answers to their questions. Mr. Corcoran was initially able to avoid prosecutors by citing attorney-client privilege. However, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell required Corcoran to appear before the grand jury and answer their questions in full. So far, multiple lawyers for Trump have already testified to the jury, like Timothy Parlatore, who said that he had spent hours testifying in front of the grand jury to answer any and all questions presented to him. But, prosecutors were not satisfied. The Mar-a-Lago investigation is led by a Justice Department special counsel, Jack Smith, who is coincidentally also investigating attempts by President Trump to overturn the 2020 election. It’s safe to say Mr. Smith won’t be satisfied until he gets a form of justice that fits his own politically motivated narrative.

A year following its original passage, Ron DeSantis and the Florida government are looking to expand the scope of the Parental Rights in Education bill dubbed by the media as ‘Don’t Say Gay’. The bill was originally created in order to prevent public schools from teaching young students lessons in gender identity and sexual orientation, topics that many would deem inappropriate and indoctrinating in nature for children. Although the reach of the initial legislation only applied to grades K-3, the Florida State Board of Education (FSBE) is set to rule on an expansion of the bill that would cover grades K-12, meaning middle and high schools would also be subject to the law. “Parents have the right and God-given responsibility to guide their children’s upbringing,” Sen. Clay Yarborough (R-Jacksonville) stated when asked about his support for the bill’s expansion. It is expected that the new ruling will be passed with flying colors, as the FSBE is currently composed entirely of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis appointees.

Following a shooting that took place at East High School in Denver, Colorado, Wednesday morning, police believe they found their potential suspect. Austin Lyle, a 17-year-old student of East High School, is believed to have been the gunman and was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in a remote area of Park County, 50 miles southwest of Denver. Before the fate of Lyle was known, residents in the county were issued a shelter-in-place order at the beginning of the search. Prior to the shooting, Lyle had a known track record with school officials for being a potential threat. The shooting took place when he pulled a handgun on school administrators while going through the pat-down part of a daily safety check Lyle was required to go through.

Grand Valley State University in Michigan has been at the center of controversy recently as they announced that this year they will host separate graduation ceremonies based on race and sexuality. Some of the groups with their own ceremonies will be Black students, Asian students, and ‘Latinx’ students. Not all ceremonies will be racially segregated, however, as there will also be a non-racial ceremony for LGBT students, where graduates will be eligible for such prestigious academic awards as the "Outstanding LGBTQIA+ Graduate Award." GVSU is not the only college to roll out segregated programs for graduates. In recent years other major colleges like Columbia and Harvard University have also announced they will host similar celebrations.
