Special counsel Jack Smith’s team has signaled a continued interest in a chaotic Oval Office meeting that took place in the final days of the Trump administration, during which the former president considered some of the most desperate proposals to keep him in power over objections from his White House counsel.
Multiple sources told CNN that investigators have asked several witnesses before the grand jury and during interviews about the meeting, which happened about six weeks after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Some witnesses were asked about the meeting months ago, while several others have faced questions about it more recently, including Rudy Giuliani. #KaitlanCollins #CNN #News

"Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, calling out toxic Republicans, politely-ineffectual Democrats, and mealy-mouthed media mavens in equal measure, JUSTICE IS COMING will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.
The media can’t stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government has been taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.
In JUSTICE IS COMING: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love It (On sale: September 19, 2023), The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.
JUSTICE IS COMING, a compulsively readable manifesto, seeks to apply the momentum progressives have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. JUSTICE IS COMING looks beyond Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment, and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win."

"A NEBRASKA LABOR leader running for the U.S. Senate as an independent could best the Republican incumbent, according to a recent poll of voters in the Cornhusker State.
Dan Osborn, a 48-year-old military veteran who helped lead the 2021 strikes against food giant Kellogg’s, launched a challenge against 72-year-old Nebraska Republican Sen. Deb Fischer in October. A poll conducted by Change Research, a liberal research firm, shows Osborn leading Fischer by a margin of 2 points. Nebraska has voted for a Republican president every year since 1964, and the survey, conducted in November, shows that respondents favor former President Donald Trump over President Joe Biden by a margin of 16."

National Politics Video: Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) Questions University Presidents on Antisemitism
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) on Tuesday pressed the presidents of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard and MIT about rising antisemitism on college campuses and whether that speech violates their schools' codes of conduct, creating an exchange that has led to severe blowback on the presidents.
"Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn's rules or code of conduct?" Rep. Stefanik asked.
"It is a context-dependent decision," replied UPenn's Elizabeth Magill. "If the speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment."
"'Conduct' meaning committing the act of genocide?" an incredulous Rep. Stefanik asked. "The speech is not harassment? This is unacceptable."
The New York Republican asked each of the university presidents the same series of questions.
"Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules on bullying and harassment?" she asked Harvard's Claudine Gay.
"It can be, depending on the context," Ms. Gay responded.
"What's the context?" Rep. Stefanik followed up.
"Targeted at an individual," the Harvard president said.
"It's targeted at Jewish students, Jewish individuals," Rep. Stefanik shot back. "Do you understand your testimony is dehumanizing them? Do you understand that dehumanization is part of antisemitism?"

White House Video: Vice President Harris Ceremonially Swears In Edgar Kagan as Ambassador to Malaysia
Folks, right now, 25 of the largest pharmaceutical companies in America control 70% of the market. This lack of competition drives up prices – making it harder for hardworking American families to access the health care they need.
Today, my Administration is doing something about it. Let me explain:
Hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars are spent on research, discovery, and development of new prescription drugs. And while I firmly believe that the strength of a nation can be measured by the boldness of its science, the quality of its research, and the progress it helps bring forth, I also believe that the folks who paid for the research – you – ought to be able to access and afford the final product.
That's why my Administration is proposing that if a drug made using taxpayer funds is not reasonably available to Americans, the government reserves the right to "march in" and license that drug to another manufacturer who could sell it for less.
This is an important step toward ending Big Pharma price gouging.
It's good for competition.
It's good for our economy.
And it's good for the millions of Americans who can't afford their medications – who know all too well that fine line between dignity and dependence that the price of a prescription drug can draw.
