GOP Senate candidate pushes Republicans to rebuild Baltimore bridge

GOP Senate candidate pushes Republicans to rebuild Baltimore bridgeBALTIMORE, MD – Former two-term Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says he’s urging fellow Republicans on Capitol Hill to support federal funding to rebuild the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge.”I’m going to push them as hard as I can. I’ve already called a couple of Republican Senate leaders and started working them,” Hogan, who’s running for a Democratic-controlled open Senate seat in his home state, emphasized in a Fox News Digital interview on Thursday.Six construction workers were presumed killed when the bridge collapsed on Tuesday moments after a large container ship slammed into a pillar. President Biden quickly pledged that the federal government would pay the “entire cost” to rebuild the near half-century old structure. Much of the funding will come from the Federal Highway Administration’s emergency fund, which needs to be replenished on an annual basis.POPULAR FORMER REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR LEADS DEMOCRATIC RIVALS IN…

Where RFK Jr. Goes From Here

Where RFK Jr. Goes From HereWasn’t Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supposed to have flamed out by now? At a rally yesterday in Oakland, California, Kennedy—a lifelong Democrat turned independent—unveiled his 2024 running mate, the Silicon Valley entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan. Kennedy selected Shanahan from a motley crew of reported vice-presidential contenders: Aaron Rodgers, Jesse Ventura, Mike Rowe, Tulsi Gabbard, and the rapper Killer Mike, to name a few.Shanahan is by no means a household name. Yet she could bolster Kennedy’s outsider ticket in three pivotal ways. She’s just 38 years old and may help him appeal to younger voters. Several states require candidates to file a two-person ticket as a ballot-eligibility requirement, so her sheer addition could help move those efforts forward. And, of course, she has money: Her charitable donations suggest she is worth tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. “The purpose of wealth is to help those…

Why Biden’s Pro-worker Stance Isn’t Working

Why Biden’s Pro-worker Stance Isn’t WorkingJoe Biden courted the leaders of the Teamsters this week, looking for the endorsement of the 1.3-million-member union. He will probably get it. The Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, calls him “the most pro-union president in history.” He’s already won the endorsement of many of the country’s most important unions, including the United Auto Workers, the AFSCME public employees’ union, the Service Employees International Union, and the main umbrella organization, the AFL-CIO.Biden’s real concern in November, though, isn’t getting the support of union leaders; it’s winning the support of union members. Labor’s rank and file were a valuable part of his winning coalition in 2020, when, according to AP VoteCast, he got 56 percent of the union vote. Today, things on this front are looking a little shakier, particularly in key electoral battlegrounds. A New York Times/Siena survey of swing states late…

Sam Bankman-Fried’s Dream Came True

Sam Bankman-Fried’s Dream Came TrueIf there’s a single image that defines the crypto frenzy of 2021 and 2022, it’s that of the actor Matt Damon, calm and muscled, delivering the immortal proverb “Fortune favors the brave.” It was part of an ad for Crypto.com, yet it somehow captured the absurdity of what the crypto industry promised at the time: not just a digital asset, but a ludicrously magnified vision of the future.Sam Bankman-Fried was the opposite of all that. The crypto mogul did not outwardly aspire to build futuristic crypto-powered cities or hype up ape-themed NFT video games. Even though he was a persistently disheveled Millennial who apparently slept on a bean bag, Bankman-Fried was the industry’s rule-following adult in the room. Regulating crypto was a good idea, he often said, even if it came at the expense of his business.SBF, it turns out, was not a rule follower. In…

The Myth of the Gen Z Gender Divide

The Myth of the Gen Z Gender DivideJudging by recent headlines, young men and women are more politically divided now than ever before. “A new global gender divide is emerging,” the Financial Times data journalist John Burn-Murdoch wrote in a widely cited January article. Burn-Murdoch’s analysis featured several eye-popping graphs that appeared to show a huge ideological rift opening up between young men and young women over the past decade. The implications—for politics, of course, but also for male-female relations and, by extension, the future of the species—were alarming. A New York Times opinion podcast convened to discuss, according to the episode title, “The Gender Split and the ‘Looming Apocalypse of the Developed World.’” The Washington Post editorial board warned, “If attitudes don’t shift, a political dating mismatch will threaten marriage.”But nearly as quickly as the theory gained attention, it has come under scrutiny. “For every survey question where you…

Charlie Kirk, the right-wing radio host and founder of Turning Point USA, insisted that Larry David, the creator, head writer and executive producer of the wildly successful sitcom Seinfeld, was not the “brains” behind it after David unloaded on Donald Trump during an appearance on Chris Wallace’s Max show that was previewed on CNN. “You can’t go a day without thinking about what he’s [Trump’s] done to this country because he’s such a little baby that he’s thrown 250 years of democracy out the window by not accepting the results,” said David of the former president. “I mean, it’s so crazy. He’s such a sociopath. He’s so insane. He just couldn’t admit to losing, and we know he lost, he knows he lost, and look how he’s fooled everybody….
