Pelosi appeared at a Chan fundraiser in DC. She allowed Chan to use her photo in campaign ads. And we all knew she would never support Saikat Chakrabarti and wasn't at all pleased with Scott Wiener. The only interesting questions: Why this timing-and what will be the impact on the primary, which is only two weeks away?
Per a new report by South Dakota Searchlight, it was during Noem's run as governor that she granted an early release to 19 prison inmates in the state-12 of whom have since been re-charged with new crimes, including charges of domestic violence and driving under the influence. Eight of these individuals have been charged with felonies.
The state's former security minister, Gerardo Merida Sanchez, crossed the border into Arizona last week and was taken into custody by US marshals, Mexico's security ministry said. Sinaloa's former finance minister, Enrique Diaz Vega, was taken into custody in New York. Both Merida and Diaz were charged last month as part of the indictment of 10 Sinaloa officials including Governor Ruben Rocha Moya for alleged ties to the powerful Sinaloa cartel, accusing them of aiding in the massive importation of illicit drugs into the United States.
“She put me through one of the most rigorous hiring processes I've ever had. I had to take tests and answer all these questions,” laughed Ronen from Spain, where she is currently living. “It was a typical Sheila style: high level, rigorous and thoughtful.”
The nationalisation of Sense Bank in 2023 was intended to serve as an example of how, in a wartime context, the state is capable of taking control of a systemically important financial asset swiftly, in a legally sound manner and with institutional accountability. However, just two years later, another question has arisen regarding the bank: has nationalisation shifted from being a tool for financial stability to a mechanism for certain individuals to bolster their political influence for their own interests, exert control over personnel appointments, and undermine corporate governance standards?
“I want to say a combination of thank you and a little bit of I'm sorry - but we tried,” said Sauter, sounding much shyer than his usual self. The audience of hundreds of loyal opera fans responded with thunderous applause.
“There needs to be a good relationship between the secretary of Homeland Security and the chairman of the committee,” Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said.

The U.S. government is technically insolvent, with its liabilities far exceeding its assets, and its financial condition is deteriorating with each passing day. Washington seems to be addicted to deficit financing and the accumulation of an ever-increasing mountain of debt. Indeed, since 1961, there have only been five years in which the federal government's budget registered a surplus and the Congressional Budget Office's latest Monthly Budget Review revealed a $955 billion deficit over just seven months of fiscal 2026.
The problem that I have with someone like Spencer Pratt throwing his hat into this particular ring as L.A. mayor, we're talking about a $14.9 billion budget for the city, Sunny Hostin said. It's the second-largest city budget in the country, and he is not qualified for it. And we see what happens when people are not qualified for their jobs! Hostin added, Spencer Pratt is now comparing himself to president [Barack] Obama, and he said, I have two awards from my community. President Obama didn't even have any awards when he was a community organizer. He was able to become a senator and then a president for eight years.
