🕊️ @KimBurrellLove ‘s powerful rendition of “Take Me To The King” was a fitting tribute to Rev. Jackson…
The final public obsequies of the late Rev.
Jesse Jackson concluded at the House of Hope, the longtime headquarters of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. Rev Jackson founded and lead PUSH for several decades before retiring due to ill-health.
The service was a reflection on the man, his loved ones, and his impact. From South Carolina, to South Africa, to the former Soviet Union...from Chicago, to Cypress, and the Korean Peninsula...Rev Jackson was revered, admired, and celebrated.
Of course, he didn't always get the appreciation he deserved while he was living but as his widow and eldest son said "he will be remembered more fondly in death than he was treated in life."
The lesson of Jesse Jackson's life remains: keep hope alive...

Such a great day today: $17 billion investment, three gas fired power plants, and over 2,000 new projected high paying jobs for West Virginians AND we are beginning to bring back WEST VIRGINIA kids to our state.
36 kids will receive care in a facility coming to Barboursville. That means 36 fewer kids in the child welfare system housed outside of our state.
We work hard and will keep fighting to solve problems for the Mountain State.

Congratulations to Mike Reichenbach who is the lieutenant governor-elect of South Carolina. He will be the first Black Lieutenant governor since 1876 held the office during Reconstruction. I wish him & Governor-elect Alan Wilson a very successful term in South Carolina.

California disbarred our client, former Trump attorney John Eastman, over legal arguments he advanced on behalf of the President.
We just took this fight to the U.S. Supreme Court as we appeal to the Justices to hear this landmark case.

Dear @nvidia :
You are a patriotic company. The only beneficiary of Mr. Huang’s dismissal would be America’s adversaries. This was an act of corporate espionage perpetrated by foreign governments.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,
-The American People 🇺🇸
Our message to Nvidia's board:
Do not fire Jensen Huang.
There is no clear replacement for Jensen Huang. We are confident that his departure would ultimately be a net negative for Nvidia, its shareholders, and the AI Revolution.
First, take a look at the data. History also suggests that removing a successful CEO will come with a significant cost.
A study of 187 forced CEO departures from S&P 1500 companies found that removing outperforming CEOs resulted in negative long-term stock returns. This case would be no different, in our view.
Jensen Huang is the definition of an outperforming CEO. Nvidia's board must not make a decision in the heat of the moment.
The board should take the time to conduct a thorough investigation and consult with shareholders, with a strong emphasis on the latter.
Quite literally, Nvidia's board should convene a special shareholder meeting and hold an advisory vote on this decision. This is the most consequential CEO controversy in world history. Shareholders deserve a say.
In addition, Nvidia's stock, $NVDA, is now down -35% in 26 trading days, nearly half of which is a result of the recent scandal.
We believe Jensen Huang's potential removal as CEO is now ~80% priced in.
Why take an action with massive downside potential when the market has already priced in much of that risk?
The downside of retaining Huang may be limited, while the potential upside is tremendous.
Lastly, history shows that retaining Jensen Huang could still lead to a favorable outcome. In 2019, Amazon retained Jeff Bezos as CEO after his extramarital affair became public, and the company's stock subsequently surged +108% by 2021.
Personal misconduct should not be ignored, but it must also be distinguished from corporate wrongdoing and weighed against the consequences of removing an executive who is instrumental to the company's success.
We believe Jensen Huang is an irreplaceable part of Nvidia and the AI Revolution more broadly.
Once the dust settles, firing Jensen Huang would prove to be a costly mistake.
It is time to pause and consult your shareholders.
