AGNC Investment Corp. Declares Monthly Common Stock Dividend of $0.12 per Common Share for December 2024CHICAGO — In his first public remarks since last month’s election, former President Barack Obama on Thursday largely avoided direct mention of Donald Trump’s presidential victory and instead focused on the need for bridge-building and accommodation among a public whose sharp divisions have been sown in the Trump era. “You see, it’s easy to give democracy lip service when it delivers the outcomes we want. It’s when we don’t get what we want that our commitment to democracy is tested,” Obama said as he keynoted the third annual Obama Foundation Democracy Forum at a South Loop hotel. “And at this moment in history, when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged, now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people,” he said. During his speech, Obama did not mention Trump by name, his Republican successor in the 2016 election who retook the White House by defeating Vice President Kamala Harris on Nov. 5. And Obama’s talk was a far cry from the partisan attacks he leveled against Trump at the Democratic National Convention, the last time Obama was in Chicago for a public speaking engagement. At the convention in August, Obama ridiculed Trump and warned that his returning to the White House would lead to “four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos.” But on Thursday, it was Obama the lecturer who spoke, echoing the forum’s theme of “pluralism” and calling for people to engage with others from differing viewpoints and backgrounds in order to help maintain democracy. During his speech, Obama acknowledged that in previewing to friends the forum’s planned subject matter he “got more than a few groans and eye rolls” since “as far as they were concerned, the election proved that democracy is pretty far down on people’s priorities.” “But as a citizen and part of a foundation that believes deeply in the promise of democracy — not only to recognize the dignity and the worth of every individual but to produce free and fair and more just societies — I cannot think of a better time to talk about it,” he said. “This idea that each of us has to show a level of forbearance toward those who don’t look or think or pray like us, that’s at the heart of democracy,” he said. “But it’s especially hard in big, multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-religious countries like the United States.” Obama noted that in America in the decades after World War II “democracy seemed to run relatively smoothly with frequent cooperation across party lines and what felt like a broad consensus about how interests were shared (and) differences should be settled.” “The biggest reason that American pluralism seemed to be working so well may have to do with what was left out,” he said, noting that even in 2004 when he was elected to the U.S. Senate he was its only Black member. “It’s fair to say that when everyone in Washington looked the same and shared the same experiences ... cutting deals and getting along was a whole lot simpler.” But starting with the rise of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, “historically marginalized Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans, women, gays and lesbians, disabled Americans demanded a seat at the table,” Obama said. “Not only did they insist on a fair share of government direct resources, but they brought with them new issues, more than their unique experiences, that could not just be resolved by giving them a bigger slice of the pie.” “In other words,” he said, “politics was not just a fight about tax rates or roads anymore. It was about more fundamental issues that went to the core of our being — how we expected society to structure itself.” Those issues, however, also opened the door to “politicians and party leaders and interest groups (who) take a maximalist position on almost every issue,” Obama said. “Every election becomes an act of mortal combat, which political opponents are enemies to be vanquished. Compromise is viewed as betrayal and total victory is the only acceptable outcome,” he said. “But since total victory is impossible in a country politically split down the middle, the result is a doom loop — gridlock, greater polarization, wilder rhetoric and a deepening conviction among partisans that the other side is breaking the rules and has rigged the game to tip it in their favor.” Obama, a former senior lecturer of constitutional law at the University of Chicago, has spoken frequently in his post-presidency of a need to restore civility and the need for compromise despite the nation’s political divisions. His comments Thursday took on an added dimension in the post-election climate given the history of Trump’s first term and the promises the president-elect made throughout the campaign. “I am convinced that if we want democracy, as we understand it, to survive, then we’re all going to have to work toward a renewed commitment to pluralist principles,” he said, adding that “it’s important to look for allies in unlikely places,” not “assume that people on the other side have monolithic views” and believe that they “may share our beliefs about sticking to the rules, observing norms.” The alternative is “an increasing willingness on the part of politicians and their followers to violate democratic norms, to do anything they can to get their way, to use the power of the state to target critics and journalists and political rivals and to even resort to violence in order to gain and hold onto power,” he said. “In those circumstances, pluralism does not call for us to just stand back and save our breath,” Obama said. “In those circumstances, a line has been crossed and we have to stand firm and speak out and organize and mobilize as forcefully as we can.” But, in nodding to the fact that such change can’t happen quickly, he also called a restoration of “habits and practices that so often we’ve lost, learning to trust each other,” is “a generational project.” Illinois Gov.

Democratic strategist James Carville claims he was right when earlier this year he warned about Democratic support among young men was falling because of the party's focus on effeminate and woke messaging. Democratic Party strategist James Carville lamented the political misfortune of President Biden in the weeks following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. In a video update published on YouTube, the 80-year-old pundit weighed in on the heat Biden is currently enduring from his own party for pardoning his son, Hunter Biden. Though Carville did not hold the pardon against the president, he lamented how Biden’s actions in the past year have made him such an unpopular figure. "The most tragic figure in American politics in my lifetime is President Biden," Carville proclaimed. HUNTER BIDEN PARDON: MEDIA TAKES LATEST BLOW TO CREDIBILITY WITH BOTCHED COVERAGE OF BROKEN PROMISE Democratic strategist James Carville recently claimed President Biden not withdrawing from the presidential race sooner has turned him into the most tragic figure in American politics he's ever seen. (Screenshot/HBO) The strategist waved off criticism from Biden’s own party that he pardoned his son on Sunday after saying throughout his presidency he never would. "Alright, so he said, ‘I’d never pardon the kid.’ Okay. I don’t believe any – When anybody says, ‘I never had sex with that person,’ or, ‘I’d never pardon my kid,’ I don’t pay any attention to it, ‘cause I think everybody lies about sex and everybody is going to do what they’re going to do with their own children," he said. Multiple Democratic lawmakers and liberal media outlets condemned the pardon , arguing the younger Biden got off too easy from multiple felony convictions and warning that Trump would use it as an excuse for more abuses of power. Instead, Carville hammered Biden over running for re-election in the first place, saying that if he had just passed the torch early enough, the Democratic Party would have won the election and none of this negative attention would be on him. He would have left the White House on a "high note," he said. Under intense pressure, Biden bowed out of the race in July and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who went on to lose to Trump.

(The Image Direct for Fox News Digital) "But the different scenario would be, if he would have – in September of 2023 or August – said that he wasn’t going to run ... we would have won this election. And it wouldn’t have been that close, because we’d have had so many freaking talented people that were running," he lamented. Carville continued describing Biden’s glorious alternative future, stating, "And he would be sitting here right now, getting ready to leave on a high note. There would be naming commissions to figure out what we're going to name after him. He would be the toast of Washington. It would be a Democratic inauguration coming up, and a new Democratic president could have sort of gotten away with commuting any sentence that Hunter Biden got." He added that there would have been "minimal" pushback if the pardon happened in this scenario because Biden would be seen in a better light. JAMES CARVILLE SAYS AMERICA’S WOKE ‘HANGOVER’ HAUNTED HARRIS CAMPAIGN, DAMAGED DEMOCRATIC BRAND "And all of this," he continued, "is f---ing self-inflicted. It’s tragic, it’s sad, and of course, everything about him is – it will be six years before somebody comes back and talks about all of the stunning things – the manufacturing that he’s brought back, the stunning stuff he’s done." Democratic strategist James Carville during an appearance on MSNBC. (Screenshot/MSNBC) "What’s so sad, it didn’t have to be this way. He brought it all on himself," he said.

Krispy Kreme says hackers disrupted its online ordering, likely hurting its ‘financial condition’Gradually, then suddenly. That was the theme of the night as slow burners sparked into life with clusters of goals across the board. In an early kick-off, there were four goals in ten minutes either side of half-time as Lille beat Sturm Graz 3-2, while a scoreless first half between Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona served up five goals after the break as a Ferran Torres double sealed the win for Hansi Flick’s side. Advertisement Feyenoord served up some special long-range goals in their 4-2 win over Sparta Prague and Stuttgart ended an eight-game run without a home win in Europe by scoring five goals against Young Boys — more than they managed in that winless run combined. Arsenal took a major step to automatic qualification with a 3-0 home win over Monaco and Tammy Abraham scored a late winner for Milan against Belgrade’s Crvena Zvezda, but there was more misery for Pep Guardiola... City lose again, facing play-off headache Guardiola has been scratching his head a lot lately . Another disappointing evening in Turin will have seen him dig those nails in even further. Not only did his Manchester City side meekly succumb to a 2-0 defeat to Juventus , it means they have just one win in their last ten games in all competitions and are in danger of failing to make the knockouts. Since being eliminated in the last 16 in his first season, City have reached at least the quarter-final stage in each of the last seven seasons. GO DEEPER The Briefing: Juventus 2 Man City 0 - Playoffs for Guardiola? Unlucky Ederson? De Bruyne lone bright spark They are five points off Lille, who occupy the eighth and final automatic qualifying spot. They face a pivotal clash with Paris Saint-Germain in January, who are also fighting for survival as they languish in 25th, outside the play-off spots. It is shaping up to be a do-or-die penultimate tie but, even if both make it through, they look most likely to do so via the play-off route as part of the cohort from ninth to 24th. Those teams must come through a two-legged play-off in February to make the last 16. It would be a headache for big elite clubs competing on multiple fronts as they have become used to fairly calm four-team group stages in which they have qualification sewn up with a game or two to spare. An additional two games would mean even more strain on Guardiola’s squad, who are already missing Rodri — a player who was vocal about the calendar being too much before he suffered an ACL injury. GO DEEPER Rodri is a symptom of a sport at breaking point - and we're all to blame It has been difficult to get a handle on the jeopardy of the new 32-team league format. The lists of fixtures looked more appealing at the start but in recent matchdays, it was difficult to know what constituted a good or bad result with so much football still to be played. With just two games to go, however, the table has taken some shape and nearly all teams are still fighting to qualify for the play-offs or qualify for the automatic places. It has certainly shaken things up. A good night for the USMNT It did not look like a day to work from home and set the Champions League alarm for American fans hoping to see their compatriots make a dent in Europe’s premier competition. PSV’s Malik Tillman is in the top tier for chance creation in the Champions League but he and Ricardo Pepi suffered a disappointing defeat to Brest on Tuesday. With Milan’s Christian Pulisic ruled out for the rest of the month with a calf injury and Monaco’s Folarin Balogun undergoing shoulder surgery, the flag was at half mast for the USMNT on matchday six. GO DEEPER USMNT milestone: Weston McKennie and Tim Weah combine for special Juventus strike But things changed when Gio Reyna was given a surprise start for Borussia Dortmund at home to Barcelona. The 22-year-old has been injured for the majority of the season, playing 63 minutes across all competitions, but he managed 73 minutes in the 3-2 defeat to Barcelona and will hope this is the start of a prolonged period of availability. Advertisement At Juventus, Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah both started on the bench but their nights coalesced in a massive 2-0 win over City. Weah was set free down the right flank on the counter-attack and, after seeing his first cross blocked, he showed composure to wait for McKennie to burst into the penalty area from deep. His cross was slightly behind the midfielder but McKennie showed great athleticism to acrobatically volley the ball home to seal the win for Juventus. Earlier this week in an interview with The Athletic, Pulisic had spoken about how he believed the crop of players in Europe had helped change the perception of USMNT players. “I think it’s in a better place now,” he said. “I hope I’ve had a say in that and other people look around and say, ‘This guy’s American and he is doing it at the highest level, so we need to respect some of these guys’. Look how many Americans in the last five to 10 years have come over to Europe. We have players in the Champions League and some of the highest leagues in the world. It is not our biggest driver of wanting to prove them wrong. It’s just something that is out there.” Tonight’s cameos will have helped push the boulder up the hill that little bit more. Lewis-Skelly & Duranville take their chance Lamine Yamal being just 17 has forced the football world to reconsider what qualifies as young, but two 18-year-olds made their first starts in the competition — and they both showed why it will be the first of many for both. Myles Lewis-Skelly came through the ranks at Arsenal as a midfielder but he has been remoulded by Mikel Arteta as a left-back who can invert into midfield. GO DEEPER The Briefing: Arsenal 3 Monaco 0 - Lewis-Skelly's starring role, Saka at the double, wasteful Jesus In the 35th minute against Monaco, he showed why he is perfect for that role as he was the catalyst for the opening goal in Arsenal’s 3-0 home win. Martin Odegaard played a square pass and Lewis-Skelly baited the defender towards him before showing sharp footwork to feign and step inside. He then slid the ball through to Gabriel Jesus , who teed up Bukayo Saka for a tap-in at the back post. For UK viewers: Bukayo Saka with an easy finish following a brilliant Gabriel Jesus pass 😮💨 Some incredible play from Myles Lewis-Skelly on his first Champions League start 👏 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/GJHS03AXiD — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) December 11, 2024 For US viewers: Arsenal score their first goal from open play in 268 minutes 🚨 Myles Lewis-Skelly in the build up though 🔥 pic.twitter.com/vLGRwlCMNw — CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) December 11, 2024 The entire team ran to Lewis-Skelly — the youngest player to start for Arsenal in the Champions League since Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain in 2011 — as recognition of his part in the goal. “I just told him that this is his level and he should have no doubts,” said Saka after the game. Another 18-year-old who showed no sign of stage fright was Dortmund’s Julien Duranville. A left-footed winger who plays on the right, his direct dribbling caused Alejandro Balde problems in the first half. Having missed the majority of last season through a thigh injury, Duranville has not been able to showcase his talents since signing from Anderlecht in January 2023. He has only appeared in the Bundesliga twice this season, both off the bench, but in his 73 minutes against Barcelona, he displayed flashes of his incredible agility when running at full speed. It is 20-year-old England prospect Jamie Gittens who has been getting all the attention on the other wing so far this season. As is so often the case with the Dortmund pipeline, it may not be long before Duranville is the name hogging the headlines. GO DEEPER How Dortmund's 'golden boy' Jamie Gittens is becoming one of Europe's most destructive players Raphinha ’s remarkable turnaround Raphinha did not score in any of his first ten Champions League games for Barcelona. After netting against Dortmund, the Brazilian forward has nine in his last eight appearances in the competition. The last Barcelona player to score eight Champions League goals in a single year was... Lionel Messi in 2019. It underlines the remarkable turnaround in fortunes he has experienced since joining from Leeds in 2022. A player who showed glimpses of his talent but struggled to find a role within the system is fast becoming a numbers machine. He has more goal contributions than any other player in the competition after six games (six goals and two assists) and has joined a select group of five players with 25 goal involvements across Europe’s top five leagues and UEFA competitions this season. Raphinha’s 28 goals and assists have come in just 27 games and have included a hat-trick against Bayern Munich , a goal and an assist away to Real Madrid and another at Dortmund. Wednesday’s results What’s next? The fixtures for matchweek seven of the eight-round league phase take place in January (kick-offs 8pm BST/3pm ET unless stated).

NCCN Hosts Patient Advocacy Summit on Improving Access to Accurate Health Information
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski has been selected by Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s centrist Civic Coalition as its candidate in next year's presidential election, beating out Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski. Tusk announced the decision at a party gathering on Saturday, a day after more than 22,000 party members voted in a primary to select who should run to replace the incumbent, Andrzej Duda. Tusk said Trzaskowski won nearly 75% of the votes, and Sikorski slightly over 25%. Political observers in Poland say Tusk's pro-European Union party has already put itself in a strong position ahead of the presidential election by showing that it had two strong candidates, generating a buzz around them and allowing party members to choose in a democratic process. “We are responsible people, we are responsible for the fate of our homeland today,” Tusk told supporters at the party event. He said it was only the start of what is expected to be a difficult campaign. The primary process distinguishes Tusk's party from its main rival, the national conservative Law and Justice party, known by its acronym PiS, whose candidate will be handpicked by leader Jarosław Kaczyński. The candidate is expected to be announced at a party convention in Krakow on Sunday. “In PiS, one vote matters, while we value every vote, and that’s how we differ,” Trzaskowski told party members in his acceptance speech. “I’m convinced that we’re coming out of this primary stronger, we’re all stronger, and I have a very strong mandate and a lot of energy, determination and courage to beat PiS.” Sikorski congratulated Trzaskowski and promised his support. Trzaskowski has long been considered the obvious candidate for Tusk’s party but was recently challenged by Sikorski, who argued that his experience in security and defense issues made him the better choice at a time of war in neighboring Ukraine and political change in the United States. But party members overwhelmingly stuck with Trzaskowski — and were in a good mood as they gathered over coffee and cookies after cheering the outcome. One, Małgorzata Kobus, told The Associated Press that she voted for Trzaskowski because he has been an excellent mayor, preserving green spaces and historical monuments in the capital. She also appreciates that he is highly educated and fluent in several foreign languages. Another, Hanna Szulczewska, thinks Trzaskowski is well suited to the difficult times in a region near Ukraine. She was persuaded by polls that show Trzaskowski would have a better chance of beating out candidates from other parties. “I am really convinced that he will make a fantastic president,” she said. “And strategically we really need a strong candidate.” Trzaskowski, 52, has been mayor since 2018 and has overseen a rapidly changing city of nearly 2 million people that has absorbed large numbers of Ukrainian refugees. He ran for president in 2020, barely losing to Duda. A first round of the presidential election is due to be held in May, and a possible runoff two weeks later if no candidate gets an outright majority in the first round. President Duda will complete his second five-year term in August 2025 and is prevented by the constitution from running again. It is a priority for Tusk to have an ally win the presidency because it will determine whether he can fulfill his agenda. He is currently unable to complete some of his campaign promises because Duda wields veto power over legislation, but also because of opposition within his own three-party coalition. The Civic Coalition is led by Tusk’s party Civic Platform and also includes smaller parties including the Greens.
