Comment on Blumenthal Easily Wins Second Term In Quiet Senate Race

Growing up in Oakland, California, you learn early that Black women have rules. They mean what they say. They lead by example. You do NOT disrespect them. Take for instance Michelle Obama: Michelle Obama Just Announced She Will Not Attend Donald Trump’s Inauguration After Also Missing Jimmy Carter’s Funeral Michelle Obama will not join her husband, Barack Obama, at Donald Trump’s second presidential inauguration, a spokesperson for the former first couple confirmed to PEOPLE on Tuesday, Jan.

It's been a long time coming, but negotiators were finally reached on Wednesday to end the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. The complexity of that region made this especially difficult, but according to reports, the ceasefire will take effect on Sunday, and the hostages can be released soon. Of course, Donald immediately pounced on Truth Social to grab the credit after the Biden administration, including the tireless work of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, secured the deal. "This EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November," Donald wrote, along with an exhaustingly long post that included this bloviating gem, "We have achieved so much without even being in the White House." And his superfans, like Handsy Rep.

2020 election denier Pam Bondi, Trump's pick to be the Attorney General, refused to say the words when asked if she knew who won the 2020 presidential election. It's no surprise that Trump nominated a woman straight out of the Roger Ailes playbook preferences. Sen. Hirono has been on a roll holding a mirror up to the dregs Trump has nominated. HIRONO: I want to ask you a factual question.

At her confirmation hearing Wednesday, Pam Bondi probably made sure she will become attorney general. She did that, however, by pretending to be an idiot. The former Florida attorney general and lobbyist refused to confirm that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, declined to oppose pardons for violent January 6 attackers, would not say if she would carry out an illegal order from Trump, and professed ignorance of a wide array of controversial statements by the incoming president. Such answers reflect the reality that Bondi depends on Trump’s continued support; already has the backing of GOP senators; and simply doesn’t need any Democratic votes to secure the job. Bondi acknowledged Wednesday that Biden is, in fact, president.

Despite President Joe Biden’s former directive that U. S. flags would be flown at half-staff during President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration day—a continuation of mourning after the death of former President Jimmy Carter—several Republicans have pledged to fly their flags at full-staff. In honor of Carter—who died on Dec. 29, 2024, aged 100—Biden proclaimed that flags at government buildings should be flown at half-staff “as an expression of public sorrow” for 30 days—a period of time that would have included Trump’s inauguration on Monday, Jan.
