Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley listens as she is introduced during a campaign stop in Hooksett, New Hampshire, U.S., November 20, 2023. The political network largely financed by billionaire Charles Koch endorsed former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley for president Tuesday, boosting her primary campaign against the Republican front-runner, former President Donald Trump.

Washington CNN —Justice Clarence Thomas attended a private dinner in 2018 during a winter donor summit of the Koch network, the political organization founded by libertarian billionaires Charles and David Koch, ProPublica reported Friday. Thomas attended Koch donor events at least twice over the years, according to interviews with three former Koch network employees and one major donor conducted by ProPublica. Thomas arrived for the 2018 dinner on a Gulfstream G200 jet, although a Koch network spokesperson told the outlet that the network did not pay for the private jet and it was not disclosed on his financial disclosure forms for that year. A spokesperson for the Koch network told ProPublica that Thomas wasn’t present for fundraising conversations. CNN has reached out to the Supreme Court for comment.

A new ProPublica story features a photo of filmmaker Ken Buns with Clarence Thomas and David Koch. But Burns released a statement making it clear he doesn't know Thomas. But more shocking to many was the lead photo, which featured star PBS documentarian Ken Burns sandwiched between Thomas and David Koch. Other than the taking of that photograph and innocuous pleasantries, that's the extent of his contact with Justice Thomas." So now we know: Ken Burns and Clarence Thomas are not pals, according to Burns.

For Trump and Koch, it represents the latest chapter in the on again, off again relationship between the two parties. The theme of the ads is simple: Trump can't win, and with Trump as the Republican nominee, President Joe Biden will be reelected. The ads have landed the Koch network squarely on Trump's list of enemies, literally. "Club for No Growth and Koch Brothers operations spending tens of millions of dollars to prop up Ron DeSantis while attacking President Trump," the July 17 memo claimed. But neither the Koch network nor the Club for Growth has endorsed a Republican primary candidate.

The ADA is a federal law requiring employers to make "reasonable accommodations" — adjustments or modifications — for qualified job applicants or employees with a "known disability." How companies can create 'a culture of inclusion'Rob Koch speaks to CNBC on Zoom with ASL interpreter, Amelia Fruehsamer. Yet, employees with disabilities make up a sizeable share of the global workforce, by some estimates. PSEG held a yearlong campaign to try to build empathy and destigmatize what it means to have a disability. After its awareness campaign, PSEG found the percentage of people who identified as disabled in its workplace tripled.

The political network financed largely by billionaire Charles Koch is launching a wave of digital ads targeting former President Donald Trump. The ads argue that if Trump becomes the Republican nominee next year, it will lead to President Joe Biden winning reelection. One of the spots, titled "Only Way," has a voiceover saying, "The only way Biden wins is if we nominate Trump again." All of the Koch digital ads cite public polling that say how key voters don't want Trump to be president again. The ads are also targeting voters at a tumultuous moment for Trump.

The Republican Party has eked out a slender House majority, likely 222-213, four members more than are needed for control. The GOP should direct its gratitude to Misha Tseytlin , a soft-spoken Chicago lawyer who helped engineer the margin of victory in an unlikely place—New York state. Kathy Hochul approved a gerrymandered electoral map drawn by Albany Democrats that could have handed them victory in as many as 22 of the Empire State’s 26 districts. Mr. Tseytlin, 41, filed suit the same day, arguing that the map violated a 2014 constitutional amendment against gerrymandering that had been championed by, among others, the late former New York City Mayor Ed Koch , a Democrat. The state Senate at the time was under Republican control, the Assembly was Democratic, and Democrat Andrew Cuomo was governor.
Victoria istorică a lui Dinkins la alegerile din 1989 a fost rapid eclipsată de o creştere a criminalităţii şi a tensiunilor rasiale care au subminat realegerea sa pentru un nou mandat, în 1993.Decesul lui David Dinkins a survenit la puţin mai mult de o lună după ce soţia sa Joyce a încetat din viaţă, la 11 octombrie.În cele două decenii trecute după ce a plecat de la primărie, Dinkins a predat la Universitatea Columbia, s-a implicat în acţiuni caritabile şi a mai apărut doar ocazional în public, rămânând în general o prezenţă discretă.În 1995, Dinkins a fost supus unui triplu bypass coronarian, iar 13 ani mai târziu a suferit o altă intervenţie la valvă. În 2013 a văzut lumina tiparului autobiografia sa "A Mayor's Life: Governing New York's Gorgeous Mosaic" ("Viaţă de primar: Să guvernezi extraordinarul mozaic newyorkez"), titlul care redă cea mai cunoscută expresie folosită de Dinkins din cei patru ani petrecuţi la City Hall.Alegerea sa a fost salutată atunci ca începutul unei noi ere pentru oraşul pe care l-a descris în discursul de inaugurare "un mozaic extraordinar", Dinkins fiind văzut ca o voce a schimbării, a calmului şi compromisului, după cele trei mandate ale predecesorului său Ed Koch, perceput drept caustic şi înclinat spre confruntare. "Dinkins a proiectat un tip de personalitate care nu este ameninţătoare pentru albi şi este acceptabilă pentru negri", a afirmat la un moment dat fostul congresmen Floyd Flake.Ca primar, Dinkins s-a confruntat cu un val în creştere de probleme, aproape încă din prima zi, începând cu dezastrul din trezoreria oraşului şi reputaţia sa grav avariată şi până la "epidemia" de cocaină care făcea ravagii.Până la finalul primului său an la primărie, omuciderile ajunseseră la un nivel record în New York - peste şase pe zi, sau o crimă la patru ore -, totul culminând în 1991 cu aşa-zisele revolte de la Crown Heights, izbucnite după moartea unui copil afro-american de 7 ani lovit de o maşină condusă de un evreu.O anchetă i-a reproşat ulterior lui Dinkins că nu a reuşit să ţină sub control escaladarea violenţelor între afro-americanii şi evreii din cartier, raportul de anchetă fiind publicat cu câteva luni înainte de alegerile din 1993, câştigate de Rudy Giuliani, care a transformat revoltele într-o temă de campanie.Victoria lui Dinkins asupra lui Koch fusese asigurată de aceleaşi probleme care i-au marcat propria administraţie - problemele rasiale şi criminalitatea. Popularitatea administraţiei Koch a fost grav afectată de o crimă din august 1989, când un adolescent de culoare a fost asasinat de o bandă de albi. O lună mai târziu, Dinkins a câştigat alegerile primare democrate în defavoarea primarului în exerciţiu, apoi, la scrutin, l-a depăşit pe republicanul Giuliani cu doar 50.000 de voturi, într-una din cele mai strânse curse electorale de acest nivel din istoria oraşului, scrie agerpres.ro.
