COMMENTARY: A “Main Street” Bank Bill That Would Really Hurt Main Street

By BlackPressUSA Newswire By Ben Jealous In Washington, the name on a bill is often the opposite of what it does. The Main Street Depositor Protection Act is the latest example. The name sounds noble. The math is not. Here is what the bill would change. The FDIC is the federal agency that pays you back if your bank closes its doors. Today, it covers up to $250,000 in each account. Most people never come close to that limit. Most […]

OP-ED: Are We Really in the Same Boat? South Carolina Redistricting and the Limits of Coalition Politics

By Greer MarshallBlackPressUSA Columnists Rainbow coalitions have a history of leaking on Black folks. There are tons of stories behind that claim; that’s probably not relevant right now, but I digress. In Southern politics, the Black electorate has been the engine of the Democratic Party for more than half a century. They’ve provided the votes, the grassroots infrastructure, and the moral authority that’s kept the party alive. That said, at this point, they know when they’re being asked to provide […]

Her debate performances, policy flip-flops, and track record reveal she lacks the readiness for prime time as mayor of America’s second-largest city.In the recent televised debate against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and challenger Spencer Pratt, Raman appeared […]

Can Spencer Pratt Actually Save Los Angeles?

Spencer Pratt L.A Mayor CandidateIn a city battered by wildfires, plagued by homelessness, struggling with crime and affordability, and weary of entrenched political failures, Spencer Pratt is emerging as a refreshingly authentic voice.
