Chuck Schumer flew out to this guy to convince him to run at least 3 times. The night before he accepted, Schumer took him and his father out to dinner.
There's no blue Mississippi without Schumer and Colom.

They tried to dismantle Black political power and turn back the clock. History had other plans and instead, we witnessed its greatest expansion since Reconstruction!
6 Black Democratic US Senators (NJ, DE, GA, MD, IL, MS) and 5 Black Democratic Governors (MD, GA, NV, WI, VI)

Imagine sabotaging your own party's nominees and then gloating that you outpolled them.
There's no amount of abuse and humiliation these people won't gratefully endure at the hands of a pathological narcissist. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTโฆ

For the first time in our history, San Francisco will have citywide ethics rules that strengthen accountability for the $6 billion in taxpayer money we spend each year on contracts with outside organizations.ย
San Francisco spends billions of taxpayer dollars every year on contracts that support our city operations, and San Franciscans deserve to know that every one of those dollars is being spent wisely and in the public interest. But today, our ethics requirements are scattered across different sections of city law, and the rules can varyโleaving room for corruption and abuse.ย
This is what voters set out to change with Proposition E, and now weโre taking the first step toward centralizing and depoliticizing contracting so it serves San Franciscans, not insiders.

Sheโs standing there like โyall, I just did something big for my communityโ and itโs simply protecting a massive abandoned parking lot from being turned into a huge tax revenue engine for the community

At what point can smart people realize that price caps on electricity, credit card fees and housing are equivalent of serving kids a diet of candy: It looks appealing until the digestion process begins.
Surely we can get more creative and embrace science over slopulism.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren on a 10% credit card rate cap: "I got the bill. I'm ready to go."
She's in line to chair Senate Banking, and she's pitching it as something Democrats can pass with President Trump.
It's popular. It's also a price control.
An interest rate is a price. It reflects risk, time, and inflation.
Cap it below the risk and lenders don't lend more. They lend less, and they cut off the people with thin or bruised credit first.
Those families don't stop needing credit. They get pushed to payday loans and pawn shops.
If Washington wants cheaper credit, stop the deficits and the inflation that pushed rates up.
Nothing is free. Not even a capped credit card.

Also let's not pretend 10% is a result of careful study of the industry and the policy tradeoffs, it's just a number Warren picked out of the air on a whim

Or they did, and they avoided mentioning it because they didn't want to make the Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association mad. They have her phone number!

We are reaching levels of mass hysteria over data centers I couldnโt have dreamed of. She helps block $5 billion in development on a lot thatโs been abandoned for over 20 years, in a county already struggling with the closure of Six Flags, the (impending) departure of the Commanders, and federal job losses. And her father compares her to Medgar Evers, who was assassinated for his work as a civil rights leader. I mean, come on!

A reminder that the Islamic Republic is still slaughtering innocents simply for making their voices heard in January, in a long struggle by Iranians for basic civil rights and liberties
Twenty-year-old Abolfazl Sedaghat has been sentenced to death by Branch 5 of Mashhadโs Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Hossein Yazdankhah, two sources familiar with the case told Iran International.
The sources said Sedaghat was denied access to a lawyer of his choosing and identified him as the previously unnamed third defendant in a joint case involving Vahid Khedrikhah and Matin Farnian, whose death sentences on charges of moharebeh, or โenmity against God,โ were reported by the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA).
