Graham Platner: “We have watched life get harder down here while we witness somebody like Elon Musk exist. These two things are not disconnected. In the time that we have watched the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the ruling class, we have watched the immiseration of working people in this state”

David Friedberg predicts AOC will be President and says red states might leave the U.S. if she wins "I do predict AOC will be president. I would say AOC would be my front runner based on the extraordinary cost of living and wealth disparity. Those two things are going to continue to drive the socialist movement over the next 24 months." "And if AOC comes in and they bail out California and they federalize California's liabilities, you're going to see parts of this union, the red states... say, why should we be part of this union anymore?" "We don't want to pay for all of these liabilities that these blue states have accrued and that we are now being asked to bail out. And that is where I think you face a crisis of the union in the years ahead."

"The first level of leaders gone, the second level of leaders gone, the third level of leaders, you have to hear the conversations. Who wants to be president? I don't want it. Nobody wants to be president!" "And then we have to read that they're doing well. They're doing so badly. In the meantime, we're setting records!" "We have the strongest economy we've ever had. We have 18 to 19 trillion dollars being poured into our country. We're building factories all over the place."

“There's no comparison for the power of women.” Speaking at the TIME Women of the Year Leadership Forum, WNBA All-Star Chiney Ogwumike said that during this “pivotal moment” for women’s sports, it's important not to compare women to men. With sponsorships growing 50% faster than men’s leagues, according to the World Economic Forum, and the WNBA recently cited as the fastest-growing brand in professional sports, Ogwumike added that continued investment in women’s sports will come from recognizing that women’s sports can stand on their own.
