Rep.-Elect Chevalier: We have to make sure that we’re rooting out corruption, whether that is corruption with these corporations that are profiting from corruption in the White House, whether that is from the war machine that we’re seeing, where so many people are profiting off the deaths of so many humans, or whether that is corruption and the violence that we’re seeing from ICE and immigration enforcement.
And so, making sure that we are being really diligent with our oversight, making sure that we’re holding all bad actors to account.

A 124-year-old voting ban designed to silence Black Virginians is finally gone.
While Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress, Virginia overturned its “Jim Crow-era lifetime ban” on voting for people with prior felony convictions. motherjones.com/politics/202…

Kelsey Mitchell has unfollowed the Indiana Fever across all social media platforms, and informed teammates, family members, and coaches that she has no plans of returning to the Indiana Fever.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to see the REAL Caitlin Clark.
No more hiding against top Point Guards on defense.
No more handing the ball to Kelsey and asking her to carry you in big games.
No more shooting 5/22 with 6 turnovers and still winning because of Kelsey.
The Indiana Fever will not make the PLAYOFFS without Kelsey Mitchell!
Turns out that hooping at Klan rallies every home game is NOT enjoyable!

🚨 GOVERNOR GINA HINOJOSA GIVES ELON MUSK UNTIL DECEMBER TO PAY ALL OUTSTANDING TAXES OWED IN TEXAS OR FACE SERIOUS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES.
Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has reportedly issued a December deadline to Elon Musk, demanding that Tesla and his other companies operating in Texas fully comply with applicable state tax obligations or face potential legal and regulatory action.
The development could open another major political confrontation between the Democrats and Republicans, particularly as Donald Trump and several Republican allies have maintained close political ties with Elon Musk.
Hinojosa, a Democrat, is making it clear that her incoming administration will not give special treatment to billionaires or major corporations. She reportedly wants Tesla and other Musk-owned businesses to meet their tax responsibilities rather than benefit from political connections.
The situation could further intensify the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans, with Trump’s relationship with Musk potentially becoming another talking point in the battle over corporate taxation, economic policy and political influence in Texas.
The controversy also raises questions about the future of Tesla’s operations in Texas, considering the company’s significant manufacturing presence in the state. Any proposed changes to corporate taxation could have implications for Tesla’s business plans, investment decisions and relationship with the incoming Democratic administration.
Meanwhile, Republicans close to Donald Trump could find themselves under pressure to respond, especially given Musk’s public support for Trump and his involvement in Republican political circles. Democrats, on the other hand, could use the controversy to reignite discussions about billionaire wealth, corporate accountability and whether major companies should receive preferential treatment.
With December approaching, all eyes would be on Elon Musk, Tesla, Donald Trump and the Republican leadership to see how they respond to the proposed ultimatum.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Gina Hinojosa has issued no December deadline or ultimatum to Elon Musk or Tesla on taxes. As Governor-elect she takes office January 19 2027; recent comments address data center regulations not specific tax demands.

Bethany Donaphin has reportedly been selected as the next WNBA commissioner, succeeding Cathy Engelbert, who announced her retirement in early September.
Her potential leadership is already raising questions among fans, particularly over last season’s disciplinary decisions.
Donaphin has been accused of playing a role in the one-game suspension of Alyssa Thomas and Sophie Cunningham, as well as the repeated fines Cunningham received for criticizing referees and alleging preferential treatment of players like Paige Bueckers.
Donaphin previously served as Head of WNBA League Operations.

Amy Klobuchar pulled off the masterstroke of easily getting elected governor, putting her in a position to pick her own replacement as senator (which given the blueness of the state means she could be picking someone who serves for decades)

Après 35 ans dans la marine américaine, dont le grade de vice-amirale trois étoiles, Nancy Lacore a été brusquement démise de ses fonctions de cheffe de la réserve navale en août 2025, sans explication publique. Mère de six enfants et pilote d’hélicoptère ayant notamment servi en Afghanistan, elle avait consacré presque toute sa vie adulte au service militaire. Elle avait également créé Valor Run, un événement de 160 miles destiné à honorer 160 militaires américaines mortes pendant les guerres en Irak et en Afghanistan.
Loin de renoncer au service public, Nancy a choisi de se lancer en politique. Elle s’est présentée sous l’étiquette démocrate dans le 1er district de Caroline du Sud, un territoire traditionnellement favorable aux républicains. Sa campagne a notamment mis l’accent sur le coût de la vie, le logement, la santé, la garde d’enfants et les préoccupations des anciens combattants. Après avoir consacré 35 ans à l’armée, elle entame ainsi un nouveau chapitre de sa vie publique.
La fin d'une carrière ne signifie pas forcément la fin d'une vocation. Parfois, une porte qui se ferme ouvre un nouveau chemin pour continuer à servir.
