O’Rourke, who previously served in Congress for Texas’ 16th District from 2013 through 2019, significantly grew his national profile when he unsuccessfully challenged incumbent GOP Senator Ted Cruz in 2018. After that, the Texas Democrat launched an unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination, dropping out well before the caucuses and primaries began. The liberal candidate has broken Texas fundraising records in his bid to unseat Abbott, who has already served two terms as governor....

O’Rourke had sought to share the story as an example of the harsh realities of income inequality in the U.S. during Tuesday evening’s debate. Asked whether he believed a wealth tax would be “the best way” to address income inequality, O’Rourke said he believed a tax that would make the ultra-wealth pay more could be “part of the solution.” “I think we need to be focused on lifting people up,” O’Rourke, a former Texas representative said, before telling the story of a mother he had met in Las Vegas, who might benefit from such support....

Nice pomp and pageantry, but the fact is that the real transition to Chinese rule already took place two weeks ago–and it was hardly so civil. On Nov. 23 the most powerful gangster in Macau’s warring underworld, Wan Kuok-koi (a.k.a. Broken Tooth), sauntered into Courtroom No. 1 of Macau’s old courthouse to face the verdict in his criminal trial. Dressed in a gray pin-striped suit, the 44-year-old leader of the 14K–a secret society, or triad, that feeds on Macau’s gambling industry–looked confident as he smiled, winked and chatted with friends in the packed gallery....

The Grammy Award-winning artist can be seen rocking a Rose jersey bikini in the video for “Feeling Myself,” a Nikki Minaj single that she’s featured in . This is the second time in a matter of days that the superstar has been seen in NBA gear. A few days ago, this photo of the Houston native sporting a James Harden jersey showed up on social media. Word on the street is, Bey’s Rose number may bring back the jersey and jersey dress as popular urban fashions....

The action by the Treasury Department prevents seven members of Myanmar’s military junta and 15 family members of previously sanctioned officials from U.S. assets or companies owned by them, according to the Associated Press. Also, U.S. citizens can no longer engage in business with the 22 individuals sanctioned. The sanctions are over the military’s harsh crackdown on those protesting against its rule following a February coup where the military seized power of the South Asian nation, also known as Burma....

The announcement from the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office credits last year’s bipartisan infrastructure law that broadened the pool of companies that were eligible for the loans. Up to $1 billion in loans has been guaranteed to Nebraska-based Monolith, which says it can use natural gas to create materials for multiple industries at a fraction of the previous environmental cost, according to The Associated Press. The program was introduced to ramp up clean-energy capabilities in the U....

Biden said the new round of sanctions will target Russia’s largest banks, wealthy individuals, and further isolate the country from the global economy. The sanctions were designed to have a “maximum long-term” cost to Russia, Biden said, while limiting the impact to the U.S. and other countries. “This is a dangerous moment for all of Europe,” Biden said, adding that Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine represented “a sinister vision for the rest of the world....

In July, 92 percent of Democrats supported the president but as of September 27, the number has dipped to 85 percent as he works through challenges connected to infrastructure and economic legislation as well as immigration and the coronavirus pandemic. And overall, just 47 percent of Americans approve of how Biden is managing the economy, according to AP. In March, the number was 60 percent but now remains similar to what was reported in August....

“In our family, the values we share, the character we strive for, the way we view the world—it all comes from home, from Delaware,” Biden said in his nearly 7-minute address before boarding a plane to travel to the nation’s capital. “When I die, Delaware will be written on my heart.” Biden represented Delaware in the U.S. Senate for more than three decades until he became vice president to Barack Obama in 2009....

The poll, which was conducted by Third Way/David Binder Research, found 55 percent of suburban voters saying they’d vote for Biden if the election were held today, while 39 percent sided with Trump. Among the 55 percent that chose Biden, 46 percent said Biden, definitely and 9 percent said “Biden, but still may change.” In comparison, among those choosing Trump, 30 percent said Trump, definitely and 9 percent said “Trump, but still may change....

Last time out, Trump won by just more than 44,000 votes, with less than one percent of the state’s vote separating him and Hillary Clinton. Given this, third party candidates could tilt the outcome should it be so close again. And a Democrat-led push to get the Green Party candidate off the ballot recently failed, the Associated Press reported, after contentions they had not properly submitted candidate affidavits in August were rejected....

Much has already been written about Nord Stream 2 and the Russian-sponsored corruption surrounding it. For instance, we know that Vladimir Putin’s hand-picked chief executive to run the pipeline is none other than Matthias Warnig. Warnig began his career behind the Iron Curtain as an East German intelligence officer in the State Security Service (Stasi) in 1974—at the height of the Cold War. It was here, serving in West Germany, that Warnig likely first met Putin, then an aspiring KGB case officer who had grander ambitions....

“At President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces earlier this evening conducted airstrikes against infrastructure utilized by Iranian-backed militant groups in eastern Syria,” Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said Thursday in a statement sent to Newsweek. “These strikes were authorized in response to recent attacks against American and Coalition personnel in Iraq, and to ongoing threats to those personnel.” An unclaimed rocket barrage killed a contractor and injured another, along with a U....

“We are not going to go to any part of the state, or visit any community, where we would take away from relief efforts,” Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Wednesday, adding that the trip is being “planned in close coordination with leaders on the ground.” The news comes as state and local officials have urged evacuees not to immediately return because thousands of homes remain without power and other services, and many roads are still blocked by downed trees and other debris....

Biden’s plan includes pardons for those convicted of simple possession under current federal laws, as well as a reclassification of marijuana from its current Schedule I designation—the same designation given to drugs such as heroin and LSD. Amani Wells-Onyioha, operations director at Sole Strategies, told Newsweek she’s glad Biden is treading forward with a safe, common-sense political strategy that should have been done previously—even by executive action, which she says hasn’t been utilized to its full potential on other issues....

That was then. Today, it is not only likely that Senator Schumer will do a 180-degree reversal, but he might even shut down debate on the Biden administration’s impending new Iran deal—and in doing so, violate the law. If Democratic Party leaders refuse to submit for congressional review the new Iran deal expected to be announced imminently, they will be violating ​​the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 (INARA) and thereby overriding the will of the American people....

The Trump administration imposed tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum in 2018 in an effort to bolster domestic industries. Under the new agreement, the EU will be able to send a limited volume of steel and aluminum to the U.S. duty free. “Today’s announcement delivers on President Biden’s vision to turn the page on past disputes and begin a new chapter of enhanced trans-Atlantic relations,” said U....
