CNN data guru astonished by Trump's performance in cities: 'I would have never thought possible'
CNN data expert Harry Enten suggested that President-elect Donald Trump may be the best Republican candidate of the 21st century, because of how he improved with voters in urban areas. "It comes as this nation‘s biggest and most liberal cities are part of the reason why we have seen this push to right, moving right, including ultra-liberal San Francisco. Its progressive Mayor London Breed voted out, replaced with Daniel Lurie, my guest in a moment," she said. Enten spoke about the "red invasion" people are seeing on electoral maps, and how they are a clear departure from even Trump’s 2016 victory. Donald Trump put up the best Republican performance for a Republican nominee for president in at least 20 years, if not the entire 21st century," Enten said.

Here's the updated look for the big data center at 727 S. Grand Ave. in DTLA
Architecture firm OfficeUntitled has unveiled an updated design for a proposed data center across the street from the Whole Foods Market and Bottega Louie in Downtown Los Angeles. "Transforming what could have been hidden infrastructure, 727 Grand delights as a striking, sculptural urban data center," reads a narrative released by OfficeUntitled. Plans for a new data center - which would be among several situated along Grand Avenue in Downtown - is driven by ever-increasing demand for artificial intelligence and cloud storage. The Los Angeles Times recently described a neighboring data center at the One Wilshire tower up the street as "the mother of all data centers in the West." The result is a new terrace deck overlooking the southern property line of 727 Grand.

The O’Connor Papers and the Almost-End of Roe
How close did the Supreme Court come to reversing Roe v. Wade more than three decades before the June 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization? Reagan was persuaded otherwise and bristled at the suggestion O’Connor would act to preserve Roe. In short order after Reagan left the White House, the court dealt with a new case where, the O’Connor papers reveal, the tension regarding her views on Roe came to a head. Ronald Reagan’s legacy as a pro-life president is often challenged based on his twin mistakes with O’Connor and Kennedy. The O’Connor papers show how close the reversal of Roe came in 1989 and how reasonable observers could have believed these two pro-Roe justices recognized the artificiality and error of Roe.

The Trump inflation shock could be worse than the last inflation crisis, Larry Summers warns
“If he carries through on what he said during his campaign, there will be an inflation shock significantly greater than the one the country suffered in 2021,” Summers told Kate Bolduan on CNN News Central on Wednesday. Consumer prices started increasing rapidly in the spring of 2021, with inflation eventually peaking at a four-decade high of 9.1% in June 2022. “I hope that he will get the message from this election and adjust his programs so that it’s not inflationary,” Summers told CNN. “In his first term, President Trump instituted tariffs against China that created jobs, spurred investment, and resulted in no inflation,” Karoline Leavitt, a Trump transition spokesperson, said in a statement. They just didn’t want the consequences that came with it in terms of increased inflation,” Summers said.

Trump's Defense Choice Stuns The Pentagon And Raises Questions About The Fox News Host's Experience
He also has questioned the role of women in combat and advocated pardoning service members charged with war crimes. I can tell you.”The 44-year-old Hegseth, a staunch conservative who embraces Trump’s “America First” policies, has pushed for making the military more lethal. During an interview on “The Shawn Ryan Show” podcast, he said allowing women to serve in combat hurts that effort. Some suggested he could be Pentagon chief in name only as the Trump White House runs the department. Smith said that while Hegseth’s combat experience is a plus, running the Pentagon requires a lot of other skill sets, and his nomination will need some time for consideration.
