Rep. James Clyburn Announces He Will Seek Reelection
LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON — Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) announced Thursday he will seek reelection, ending speculation that he may retire after more than 30 years in Congress. He spent years in House Democratic leadership, serving as Majority Whip alongside former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and former Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). “It made me feel necessary,” said the South Carolina Democrat. When a reporter asked about Democrats clamoring for younger leaders, Clyburn brought up a fellowship program he’s funded for 13 years that helps to develop the next generation of leadership in the South Carolina Democratic Party. “This selfish decision does such a disservice to his district, to the Democratic Party, and to the country,” said Amanda Litman, co-founder of Run for Something, which recruits young progressives to seek office.

What’s in the ‘SAVE America Act’ and why is it so important to Donald Trump?
Additionally, the “SAVE America Act” would instruct the federal government to investigate and potentially deport non-citizens who have been unlawfully registered to vote. President Donald Trump delivers remarks during an event at the Port of Corpus Christi in Corpus Christi, Texas, on February 27. Given its widespread use in both red and blue states, getting Republicans united behind ending most mail voting would be a challenge. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, asked Wednesday about Trump’s proposal to end most mail voting, said “there were questions” lawmakers were asking about the demand. But even the version of the “SAVE America Act” that already passed the House faces near-insurmountable roadblocks in the Senate.

Rising prices and what Iran war could soon cost you
With oil prices shooting up, the cost to transport physical goods around the world has already increased and is poised to continue going up the longer the war continues. “If we see the persistence of these higher (oil) prices for a period of time, then you’re going to see a persistent cost shock,” he said. Outside of grocery stores, higher prices will take much longer to appear, Weinswig added. Getting creativeBusinesses will likely explore other ways to deal with the higher fuel costs. When the war between Russia and Ukraine broke out in 2022 oil prices similarly soared and compounded already-high inflation.

Embed from Getty ImagesChristina Applegate is 54 years old and she’s been working steadily since she was a teenager. By the time she was 17 years old, she was dating 26-year-old Brad Pitt before he was really a thing (this was before Thelma & Louise). Well, apparently, Christina dumped Brad very suddenly one night when she decided to run off with Sebastian Bach, the iconic rock star and frontman for Skid Row. Christina Applegate reveals how she dumped Brad Pitt — for Skid Row rocker Sebastian Bach — at the height of her “Married … With Children” fame, as she details the dark truths behind her sunny Hollywood persona. “I had spent all night staring at Bach, who was then a long-haired hunk fronting the band Skid Row,” Applegate, who was 17 at the time, writes.
