A UC Berkeley poll found that 67% of California voters believe that Senator Dianne Feinstein is no longer fit to serve in her role due to her latest illness. However, only 42% say she should resign while 27% say she should continue to serve in the Senate until the end of her term and 31% are undecided.

The 89-year-old senator's office confirmed earlier this week that the shingles infection she suffered from caused Ramsay Hunt syndrome and more serious illnesses than previously disclosed. A staff photographer for the Los Angeles Times reported that Feinstein is typically surrounded by a cocoon of staffers.

Jill Biden faced an awkward silence at the annual Reagan Institute Summit on Education after urging the audience to applaud her comments about the common values that unite Americans across political lines. The first lady had to prompt the crowd to clap during her speech, which focussed on the need for education reform as the US emerges from the pandemic. Social media users were quick to compare the moment to the one when Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush begged supporters to "please clap" at a rally in 2016.

Meanwhile, Brinton, who has faced legal troubles related to multiple airport thefts, was appointed to a role in the Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy under the Biden administration's agenda for inclusivity.
Red State: Media Obsesses Over Glitches in Ron DeSantis’ Presidential Announcement
Media outlets sensationalized technical difficulties during Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' presidential announcement on Twitter, instead of focusing on the substance of the discussion. The server issues that disrupted the broadcast gave an opportunity for Team Trump and Team Biden to poke fun at DeSantis' announcement, but he used the platform to formally declare his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and outline his vision for a "Great American Comeback." Despite the hiccups, the conversation delved into policy discussions and political perspectives, offering valuable insights for voters. The media's fixation on the glitches ignored an opportunity to engage in a meaningful examination of a potential presidential candidate.
Washington Free Beacon: Target Loses $9B Amid Controversy Over LGBT Children’s Clothes
Target faces backlash and boycotts from conservative consumers after releasing its "Pride" collection, including "tuck-friendly" swimsuits for girls to hide male genitalia and merchandise from the LGBTQ brand Abprallen. The collection, designed by a Satanist, has led to a 12% drop in Target's stocks, worth $9 billion since last week. Target has since removed the Abprallen items and backtracked on its marketing plan. The company is adjusting its marketing plans for the safety of its employees considering the current volatile circumstances. "Given these volatile circumstances", they said. It thanked its 'frontline teams and the LGBTQ community' for the 'care shown to each other' after the backlash. The need for continued care arises as the team reflects on the anniversary of George Floyd's death. Rep. Nancy Mace (R., S.C.) said, "Target: hold my beer" when criticizing the company.

National Review: DeSantis Is Better Off Being Banal Than Being Based
Governor Ron DeSantis's presidential-campaign launch was "very online" and suffered from technological hiccups. Observers are criticizing the campaign's theory that DeSantis can out-compete Donald Trump on theory and how the focus was on ideology rather than practical achievements. DeSantis's talk on niche minutiae, from Bitcoin to the Federal Reserve and “Very Online” right-wing argot, came at the expense of direct and tangible achievements. His campaign needs to focus more on basics, on delivering actual legislation and victories, and less on taking a theoretical stance on divisive ideological issues.

The Federalist Papers: Country Music Songwriter Blasts Wokeness in New Single: 'I’m Just Saying What You’re Thinking'
Country music songwriter Wynn Varble co-wrote a new single called "I'm Just Sayin'" that rebukes the indoctrination of college students and the destructive left-wing riots caused by woke culture. The song encourages people to limit the impact of left-wing demagoguery, stating that they have "torn Portland all to pieces" and let "Chicago go to hell", and advocates the use of common sense over left-wing overcorrection. The new song is also a testament to the politics of Nashville country music, which tends to conservative values and should, in Varble's opinion, be made with the audience in mind.

Forbes: Here's Who Wall Street Experts (And Oddsmakers) Would Pick As 'Succession's' New Waystar CEO
Real-life Wall Street analysts disagree on who should take over fictional mogul Logan Roy's media empire in the Succession finale.

A Forbes poll reveals the popular HBO show is not a hit amongst the group it's about, billionaires.
The Epoch Times: The Emotional Paintings of Hugo van der Goes
Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie is hosting the first exhibition of Hugo van der Goes’s paintings and drawings since his death 540 years ago. The exhibition is a remarkable feat since few of his works have survived and they frequently have a large format. Van der Goes was the pre-eminent Netherlandish painter for the second half of the 15th century, notably for his strong colours, increasing realism and fine portrayals of emotion in monumental altarpieces. The exhibition includes 12 of his 14 surviving works alongside some believed to have been influenced by him, including a copy of a lost original by the Brussels master, Rogier van der Weyden.

Forbes: CBO’s New Numbers: What You Need To Know About Medicaid And Obamacare
CBO's report predicts declining Medicaid enrollment over the next few years, as states resume eligibility reviews for enrollees. Those who lose Medicaid are expected to mostly enroll in employer plans, while some will be uninsured despite access to subsidized coverage. Obamacare spending is projected to be $214 billion this year and $2.5 trillion for the next decade, contributing to annual federal deficits and costing taxpayers three times more than employer coverage per enrollee, according to CBO. Other findings include rising exchange enrollment with the help of higher subsidies, stability in employer coverage, and the projected stagnation of the under-65 population, which highlights the need for federal health program reform.

National Review: The Corner: Supreme Court Reins in the EPA Again, This Time on the Clean Water Act
The Supreme Court's decision in Sackett v. EPA requires fixed definitions in statutes and rejects ambiguity that allows administrative agencies to create crimes. The EPA used the Clean Water Act's vague definition of navigable waters to extend its regulatory power, but the Court's ruling limits it only to permanent bodies of water such as streams, oceans, rivers, and lakes. While some justices disagree with the narrowing, the Court confirms that policy must be made in the legislative process.
