Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman says he is taking "a serious look" at another run for Senate"
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman says he is taking “a serious look” at another run for the U.S. Senate in 2022, an ambition he plans to share with supporters on Friday.
“The 2022 cycle in Pennsylvania is going to be one of the most, if not the most, important races,” Fetterman told The Inquirer in a brief interview Thursday.
Pennsylvania’s open-seat Senate race is already considered one of the most competitive in the country and will help determine which party controls the chamber after the midterm elections. Sen. Pat Toomey, a Lehigh Valley Republican, announced in October that he won’t seek a third term or run for governor in 2022.
A stampede of candidates in both parties are expected to run. Fetterman, who lost a 2016 Democratic Senate primary, would bring a nationally known political brand and a social-media-savvy approach to governing and campaigning. His public profile has been elevated considerably over the last couple months as he emerged as a prominent defender of Pennsylvania’s election results, with frequent appearances on national TV.

Alaska Senator Murkowski said she would not vote for a justice ahead of election
Shortly before the announcement that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died Friday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski said in an interview that if she was presented with a vacancy on the court, she would not vote to confirm a nominee before the election.
Ginsburg died in her home in Washington D.C. at the age of 87 of complications from pancreatic cancer.
“I would not vote to confirm a Supreme Court nominee. We are 50 some days away from an election,” she said.
Murkowski said her reasoning is based on the same reasoning that held up the confirmation of former President Barack Obama’s final nominee to the Supreme Court.

Texas police officer shoots woman to death inside her home
Source: NBC news
A Fort Worth police officer checking out a residence with an open door opened fire on a woman inside her home, killing her, authorities said.
The shooting early Saturday happened less than two weeks after a police officer in nearby Dallas was found guilty of murder for fatally shooting a man in his home in 2018. In both cases the officers are white and the victims were African American.
In the Fort Worth shooting at 2:25 a.m. Saturday, authorities have the officer's body-camera footage.
According to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth, the imagery shows the perspective of the officer outside a home, peering inside a window using a flashlight, spotting someone inside standing near a window and telling her, "Put your hands up — show me your hands," before opening fire.
Fort Worth police say one shot was fired.

California just passed a landmark law to regulate Uber and Lyft
Source: Vox.com
California just disrupted the gig economy.
Senate lawmakers passed a controversial bill, known as AB 5, on Tuesday evening, after months of uproar from businesses and gig companies like Uber and Lyft. The bill will require businesses to hire workers as employees, not independent contractors, with some exceptions. That will give hundreds of thousands of California workers basic labor rights for the first time.
And despite an aggressive lobbying campaign, Uber and Lyft are not exempt.
Senators voted 29-11 in favor of AB 5, and on Wednesday the state assembly approved their amendments to the bill. Now it heads to Gov. Gavin Newsom for his signature. He has signaled that he will sign it.
“This is a victory to savor,” tweetedNicole Moore, an Uber driver and organizer with Rideshare Drivers United.

Autopsy finds broken bones in Jeffrey Epstein's neck, deepening questions around his death

August 14 at 11:20 PM
An autopsy found that financier Jeffrey Epstein sustained multiple breaks in his neck bones, according to two people familiar with the findings, deepening the mystery about the circumstances around his death.
Among the bones broken in Epstein’s neck was the hyoid bone, which in men is near the Adam’s apple. Such breaks can occur in those who hang themselves, particularly if they are older, according to forensics experts and studies on the subject. But they are more common in victims of homicide by strangulation, the experts said.
The details are the first findings to emerge from the autopsy of Epstein, a convicted sex offender and multimillionaire in federal custody on charges of sex trafficking. He died early Saturday morning after guards found him hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan and he could not be revived
