Myrlie Evers-Williams, the widow of Medgar Evers, is still alive today at 93 years old. Cannot imagine what she must be thinking right now watching Scott Colom make history

In the last month, one tech CEO significantly altered U.S. Ukraine policy and another U.S. China tech policy. Each had enormous power to do so without oversight. Will it spark a broader rethinking of super-empowered corporate heads in vital national security spaces?

A US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony. https://t.co/MMDfZ31pPP

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.

Chicago’s first self-cleaning toilet opens today at the Polish Triangle. The free facility will be open 7-7 daily. The toilet bowl and floors are cleaned automatically after each use, and each visit is limited to 15 minutes, two technicians here told me. @BlockClubCHI

The combination of the mass erroneous purge, forcing voters to cast affidavits, & mass rejection of affidavits per strict rules, is such an indictment of voter suppression in Mississippi.

Why would Jeffries publicly back impeachment, make a big show about it, and then not ensure he has the votes to make it happen?

Hegseth avoids House rebuke - too many Democratic absences. Impeachment plan sent to committee to die.
