Republican Pillars of Support
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/04/us/politics/trump-polls-christians-evangelicals
“QAnon” is the name of a tangled, pro-Trump conspiracy theory about “deep state” traitors involved in a global sex-trafficking ring. Now Marjorie Taylor Greene, a full-throated QAnon believer, is positioned to win election to the House of Representatives after winning a Republican primary in a conservative Georgia district last week.
A false conspiracy migrating from online message boards to the halls of Congress may seem shocking. But Kevin Roose, a technology columnist for The Times, isn’t surprised. “I think it was inevitable,” he told us. “QAnon is, at its heart, a right-wing activist movement. Its followers aren’t passive — they consider themselves soldiers in a digital army of ‘white hats’ that is going to take back the country, under President Trump’s leadership.” Greene is one of an estimated 53 QAnon exponents who ran for Congress this year.
QAnon has also benefited from the pandemic, which has kept many Americans indoors and online. “I think we’re probably still in the growth phase,” Kevin says. If you want to learn more about QAnon, Kevin covered it extensively in two recent episodes of the “Rabbit Hole” podcast.

The order would target H-1B visas, which are designed for certain skilled workers such as those employed in the tech industry, as well as L-1 visas, which are meant for executives who work for large corporations.
The executive action is also expected to suspend H-2B visas for seasonal workers such as hotel and construction staff, and J-1 visas, which are meant for research scholars and professors and other cultural and work-exchange programs. Trump could renew the suspensions when they lapse. The order is not expected to immediately affect anyone already in the United States.

The report, from the conservative think tank, identifies 254 papers in a publicly accessible Chinese government-backed academic database. They were written by researchers from 115 U.S. universities and government research labs working with counterparts from seven key research universities and institutes with ties to China’s People’s Liberation Army.
Papers cover a range of topics, from material science to naval engineering, and the Hoover report found instances of the Chinese researchers allegedly hiding or not making clear their defense affiliations.

When Washington, D.C., resident Rahul Dubey realized dozens of protesters were facing pepper spray and arrest for violating curfew Monday night, he did what he says anyone else would do: He invited about 70 people into his home, to spend the night.
The protesters had been herded into Swann Street near Dupont Circle as police forces around the city used helicopters and flash-bang munitions in a crackdown on anyone violating the 7 p.m. curfew.
