West Virginia legislature vacates lawmaker's seat after his arrest for terroristic threats

In one of the most chaotic developments in a state legislature in months, the West Virginia House of Delegates has vacated a seat of a newly-elected Republican state legislator — and due to a bizarre series of events, Democrats may get to appoint his replacement, despite the seat being in a county that gave two-thirds of its vote to Trump.

Delegate-elect Joseph De Soto, who ran unopposed last year after winning the GOP primary for House District 91, stumbled into an explosive and snowballing controversy even before he was elected. DragLine, a local nonprofit journalism outfit affiliated with the West Virginia ACLU, published a bombshell series of allegations, including that De Soto was not licensed to practice medicine despite claiming to be a doctor on his campaign site, and that while he served in the military, the timeline of his service doesn't line up with some of the roles he claimed to have served.

'CEO's being murdered in the street': Expert warns U.S. headed towards 'small revolutions'

According to Professor Scott Galloway of NYU's Stern School of Business, the growing disparity between the haves and the have-nots is leading to a "series of small revolutions" where billionaires and CEO's may have pushed the envelope too far and put their own lives at risk.

After lashing out at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg earlier for dismantling Facebook's fact-checking and moderation safety division to make Donald Trump happy –– and put more money in his own pocket at the same time –– Galloway had a warning.
