The Jones Act is a century-old cargo shipping law that some argue has a significant impact on Hawai'i's cost of living. Do you support a full repeal, a specific exemption for Hawai'i or maintaining the status quo? How will you build a national coalition to change it? If you support maintaining the status quo, please explain why that's necessary. I support the Jones Act. China already delivers most of our furniture, clothing and electronics to Hawai'i on foreign flagged vessels that operate beyond our jurisdiction and owe us nothing in a crisis. When conflict or pandemic strikes, those ships go where the money is. The goods we cannot go without - Spam, toilet paper, medicine - must be guaranteed to arrive no matter what. Repeal the Jones Act and China delivers those, too.

Connie Chan for District 1 ... Supervisor Oct 2 • 0 Our economic recovery hasn't been felt equally. Low-income jobs were lost much more rapidly and have been much slower to come back. I am against RR Measure to increase the sales tax to fund CalTrain operations. I'm voting no on RR to protect our small businesses and working people, and ease their burden. If public transit is a public good, let's leverage local resources and legislative power to approach state and federal funding sources from a regional approach.

After hearing of Adams' decision, TWU International President John Samuelsen called him "a straight-up Judas Iscariot who has sold his soul to real estate developers. Developers have long sought to see the carriage-horse stables on Manhattan's West Side vacated so they can build skyscrapers with luxury apartments and corporate offices," he said. "NYCLASS was founded by real estate developers and is led by developers. Randy Mastro is a lawyer for the NYCLASS phonies." In a spontaneous floor speech to the TWU Constitutional Convention in Las Vegas Wednesday, Samuelsen told delegates that "Eric Adams is now Mayor Backstabber. He's throwing his lot in with the billionaires who don't give a rat's ass about blue collar New York or the TWU. I condemn Eric Adams and his attacks on the TWU." Delegates supported his declaration with cheers and applause.
Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP'S FORMER FIXER) reposted Emanuel Quiñones • @EQuinone... • 1d The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world. X And they are not handling it well. In the best possible way. Here is what they are discovering: Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time. Free water at every restaurant. Just appears. Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited. Free chips and salsa before you even order. Free warm bread with dinner. Ice in drinks like civilized people. Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact. Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going. Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it. Ranch dressing by the gallon. Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced. Dental care that actually works. Buccee's. There are no words for Buccee's.

MARTIN • HEINRICH WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) released the following statement on his vote to advance the nomination of U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) to be the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary. "This is going to surprise some people, but | consider Markwayne Mullin a friend. We have a very honest and constructive working relationship. We have authored legislation together, such as the Tribal Buffalo Management Act, and we crafted the Legislative Branch Appropriations bill together this year. We often disagree and when we do, we work to find whatever common ground we share. "I have also seen first-hand that Markwayne is not someone who can simply be bullied into changing his views, and I look forward to having a Secretary who doesn't take their orders from Stephen Miller.

Folarin Balogun Main striker 20 Club Monaco Age 24 Rating Group 32 16 QF SF F •••••••• Give the assist for this roster selection to the US commercial airline industry. Balogun was still in utero when his mother visited New York on vacation, but the return trip never happened as the airline refused to let her board the plane due to the size of her belly and how close she was to giving birth. As it happened, Balogun was born in Brooklyn and was off to London months later, where he fell in love with football and came up through the Arsenal academy. Now one of the most promising strikers in Europe, "Flo" is expected to lead the line for the USA, using his speed, tactical awareness, and deft finishing touch to give his birth country something to cheer about.
