He is not particularly close to the White House. He's never won statewide office or a seat in Congress. And just last year, he lost a high-profile Senate race by double digits.

But if you ask him, Jaime Harrison will tell you he is uniquely prepared to lead a Democratic Party confronting fierce Republican obstruction, intense infighting and the weight of history heading into next year's midterm elections.

3.) Covid Cases Keep Falling. •Covid’s retreat continues •Severity looks stable •The U.S. is underperforming.

In 2009, then-first lady Michelle Obama told visiting school children that she and President Barack Obama sometimes heard strange noises in the hallway at night. And other times some Obama family members felt like something was gnawing or chewing on their feet.

For months, Facebook has been shaken by a steady leak of documents from whistleblower Frances Haugen, beginning in The Wall Street Journal but spreading to government officials and nearly any outlet with an interest in the company. Now, those documents are going much more public, giving us the most sweeping look at the operations of Facebook anyone not directly involved with the company has ever had.

Chappelle is the greatest comedian of his generation, but you’d better enjoy him while you can, because weak-kneed Hollywood would rather virtue signal than entertain.

Firebrand comedian Dave Chappelle’s latest Netflix stand-up special ‘The Closer’ has, not surprisingly, been met with outrage by all the usual woke suspects.

Here are the main points of this decision:

Sinema (D-Ariz.) is objecting to provisions in the president's build back better plan that would hike taxes on the wealthy and corporations

The plan raises the top income tax rate, boosts the top corporate rate to 25 per cent, and raises taxes on capital gains

•

•

The West Virginia Democrat has told associates he has a plan to leave his party if his liberal colleagues cannot find a way to cut down the social spending bill

Facebook has a clear mission: Connect everyone in the world. Clarity is good, but in Facebook’s case, it has also put the company in a bind because the mission — and the company’s vision for creating value through network effects — has also become the source of its biggest problems. As the company moved from connecting existing friends online to making new global connections (both examples of direct network effects) and now to connecting users to professional creators (indirect network effects), it has come under fire for everything from violating individual privacy to bullying small companies as a monopoly to radicalizing its users. Now, it is struggling to find solutions that don’t undercut its mission. The author calls this “the Facebook Trap.” To address the problems created by the platform — and by other social networks, too — it helps to clearly establish where the company should be held accountable. While it’s reasonable to push for changes in how Facebook’s recommendations work, it’s harder to decide how the platform should deal with organic connections, which would likely entail censoring users and blocking them from making connections that they want to make. Facebook isn’t the only company facing the conundrum of needing to undermine its own mission to minimize harm, and companies and governments will need to develop strategies for how to deal with this issue.
