646jili01 Bernie Moreno, Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Ohio, attends a campaign event in Holland, Ohio, on Saturday, October 26, 2024. Moreno is running against Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio. Tom Williams | Cq-roll Call, Inc. | Getty Images Prior to announcing his Senate candidacy in April 2023, Bernie Moreno was a political no name. A former car salesman in the Cleveland area, his only prior experience in politics was a losing bid for Ohio's other Senate seat in 2022. Moreno has since accomplished the once unthinkable. On Nov. 5, as part of the election that swept Donald Trump back into the White House, Moreno defeated Democratic incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown, who was first elected to the House in 1992, before winning his Senate seat in 2006 and chairing the powerful Banking Committee since 2021. Moreno's rise from unsung Ohio businessman to prominent political leader was no accident. His campaign was backed by $40 million from the cryptocurrency industry as part of a highly targeted effort to get friendly candidates elected and, perhaps more importantly, its critics removed. Moreno's victory was one of the Senate seats Republicans flipped to take control of the chamber. In total, crypto-related PACs and other groups tied to the industry reeled in over $245 million, according to Federal Election Commission data. Crypto accounted for nearly half of all corporate dollars that flowed into the election, according to nonprofit watchdog Public Citizen. Advocacy group Stand With Crypto Alliance, which Coinbase launched last year, developed a grading system for House and Senate races across the country as a way to help determine where money should be spent. Crypto execs, investors and evangelists saw the election as existential to an industry that spent the past four years simultaneously trying to grow up while being repeatedly beaten down. Nearly 300 pro-crypto lawmakers will take seats in the House and Senate, according to Stand With Crypto, giving the sector unprecedented influence over the legislative agenda. The crypto political lobby worked so well this cycle because it made something complicated, like campaign finance, simple: Raise a ton of cash from a handful of donors and buy ad space in battleground states to either support candidates who back crypto or smear the candidates who don't. It also required thinking of candidates as a bit of a binary: They were either with the industry or against it. Crypto companies and their executives mobilized rapidly, and they successfully figured out how to deploy their cash through a sophisticated ad machine across the country. They also took cues from what big tech got wrong. Rather than spending hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbying legislators post-election, the crypto industry invested in targeting their opponents ahead of the election so they wouldn't have to deal with them at all the next few years. watch now VIDEO 7:49 07:49 Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong: We finally have a chance to get some regulatory clarity in the U.S. Squawk Box For over a year, Moreno was grilled by Silicon Valley heavy hitters like Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz and David Sacks about blockchain technology, digital asset policy and the shifting terrain of global finance. "They didn't just jump in head first," Moreno said, describing the scores of meetings that stretched back to his run in the primary. "We had to build a lot of trust." Moreno also met with Coinbase co-founders Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam as well as policy chief Faryar Shirzad. Armstrong and Ehrsam did not respond to CNBC's request, through Coinbase, for comment about the meetings. Coinbase is the largest digital asset exchange in the U.S. and has been battling the Securities and Exchange Commission in court for over a year. The company was the crypto kingmaker in the 2024 cycle, giving more than $75 million to a super PAC called Fairshake. It was one of the top spending committees of any industry this cycle and exclusively gave to pro-crypto candidates running for Congress. Fairshake's candidates won virtually every race that it funded in the general election. "Being anti-crypto is simply bad politics," Coinbase's Armstrong wrote on X following Moreno's victory. As the price of bitcoin has multiplied by about sixfold in the past four years, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has taken major crypto players like Coinbase and Ripple to court for allegedly selling unregistered securities and has avoided working with companies to develop new specialized regulations. Meanwhile, Sen. Brown sided with the expressly anti-crypto Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., in targeting crypto for allegedly funding terrorist organizations, including Hamas. Brown became more vocal in calling for crackdowns of the industry after the failure of crypto exchange FTX in late 2022. As FTX was spiraling into bankruptcy, Brown on Nov. 10 retweeted a post from the Senate Banking Committee calling the event "a loud warning bell that cryptocurrencies can fail" and can "have a ripple effect on consumers and other parts of our financial system." The bipartisan Fairshake won all but three races in the general election, spending big on Republicans and Democrats gunning for key seats. Protect Progress, a PAC affiliated with Fairshake, gave more than $10 million apiece to Democratic candidates for the Senate in Arizona and Michigan. Both won. Defend American Jobs, another one of Fairshake's affiliated PACs, spent more than $3 million to support Republican Jim Justice in West Virginia, who will take the former seat of Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin when the new session gets underway in 2025. In California, Democratic Rep. Katie Porter lost a Senate primary after Fairshake spent more than $10 million on ads against her. "I was, like, 'What the heck is Fairshake?'" Porter told The New Yorker . watch now VIDEO 5:01 05:01 Trump trade boosts crypto Crypto World How tech bros made their pick Those vetting Moreno wanted to understand what he would do differently than the current administration and regulatory regime, the senator-elect told CNBC in an interview. "These are people who know how to vet investments, know how to vet people and they took that same discipline" with me, Moreno said. It helped that he'd built a blockchain startup, a company called Champ Titles that digitizes automobile ticketing and registration. "What they didn't want was to put time, effort and energy behind somebody who, at the end, would be a disappointment," Moreno said. A spokesperson for Andreessen and Horowitz, who are co-founders of a venture firm bearing their names, declined to comment. Sacks, founder of Craft Ventures, didn't respond to CNBC's request for an interview. Coinbase's Shirzad met Moreno over breakfast in Washington in the spring. Moreno wasn't an expert on the details of the policy issues he'd be pursuing but had a clear understanding of crypto technology and how it could be applied, Shirzad told CNBC in an interview. "It was a really great meeting of minds between me as a policy guy and him as kind of a business guy that saw the potential of the technology," Shirzad said. Moreno was out of cash after spending all he had on a tough and expensive primary, said David McIntosh, an early backer of Moreno's Senate bid and president of the Club for Growth, a conservative organization that focuses on American economic issues. Fairshake played a crucial role for Moreno's campaign starting in the summer, McIntosh said. Moreno's victory over Brown "sent a really strong signal to Washington that the voters are going to support candidates who are pro-blockchain," McIntosh said. McIntosh noted that the Club for Growth spent $6.5 million to help Moreno with advertising in the primary through its different super PACs, including the Bitcoin Freedom Fund. Brown's office didn't respond to multiple requests for comment. Brown told Politico he hasn't ruled out running for Vice President-elect JD Vance's open Senate seat in Ohio, which will be filled by special election in 2026. Moreno benefited from branding himself as the "change" candidate while Brown "became a defender of the status quo," Shirzad said. "Crypto thematically is a change issue," Shirzad said. "It appeals to not only a younger demographic, but it also appeals to voters who want to change." Fairshake declined to comment on whether it would spend to block another Brown Senate run, but the super PAC has already raised $78 million for the 2026 midterms. "We stuck to our core strategy from Day 1, supported pro-crypto candidates and opposed those who played politics with jobs and innovation, and won," Fairshake told CNBC in a statement. watch now VIDEO 2:58 02:58 How crypto and fintech may perform under the second Trump administration Worldwide Exchange 'Most pro-crypto Congress ever' The past two election cycles featured spending from the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX and its founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison in March for stealing more than $8 billion worth of customer money through FTX. This year's contributor list was more robust but saw large sums of funding come from companies that have been at odds with SEC Chair Gensler for years. That includes Coinbase and blockchain giant Ripple Labs. Prominent venture fund Andreessen Horowitz, which has a large portfolio of crypto companies, was one of the other primary contributors. A lot of crypto's big names also gave significantly in 2024. FEC filings show Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss were among the largest individual crypto donors this election cycle, giving a combined $10.1 million. Top executives from Ripple contributed millions, led by billionaire founder Chris Larsen, who gave around $12 million this cycle. Coinbase CEO Armstrong gave over $1.3 million to a mix of PACs including Fairshake and JD Vance for Senate Inc. He also gave directly to Democrats and Republicans running for House and Senate seats. Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal attended at least two Trump fundraisers, including one in Nashville , Tennessee, on the sidelines of the biggest bitcoin event of the year. Kraken Chairman Jesse Powell donated over $1 million to the Trump campaign. Other individual crypto contributors include ex-Bitfinex strategy chief Phil Potter (over $1.6 million), Multicoin Capital's Kyle Samani ($878,600), Paradigm co-founder Fred Ehrsam ($735,400), Union Square Ventures partner Fred Wilson ($1,4 million), Paxos CEO Charles Cascarilla ($198,500), BitGo CEO Mike Belshe ($119,825), Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko ($67,100), and Xapo Bank founder Wences Casares ($374,899). This week, Armstrong reportedly met with the president-elect to discuss appointments. Within a day, conversations swirled about the potential for the White House's first crypto czar . By the end of the week, SEC Chair and longtime crypto foe Gensler, whose term doesn't expire until June 2026, announced he was retiring on inauguration day. One of Trump's promises to his crypto fans on the campaign was that he would fire the SEC head and choose crypto-friendly regulators if elected. Gensler may have taken a look at the pressure that faces him across Washington and decided it just wasn't worth trying to stick it out. "Welcome to America's most pro-crypto Congress ever," Armstrong wrote on X on Nov. 5. watch now VIDEO 8:13 08:13 Coinbase's legal chief: 'We are going to have the most pro-crypto Congress ever' Crypto WorldFranklin Resources Inc. lessened its holdings in Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc.

Sweet 16: Hockomock League flexes its muscles in the postseason

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman Gary Gensler will resign in January, which would allow for President-elect Donald Trump to select a pro-crypto, anti-climate-change-policy chairman. Gensler inflamed controversy during his time as chair by pushing onerous climate change policies, targeting cryptocurrency companies, and other actions. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported in 2023 that the SEC’s proposed climate change disclosure rule would require companies to disclose a staggering amount of data: The proposed reporting rules would require public companies to include a raft of climate data in their audited financial statements. The mandated disclosures cover everything from costs caused by wildfires to the loss of a sales contract because of climate regulations, such as a cap on carbon emissions. Companies would have to analyze climate-related costs and risks for each line item of their financial statements, such as revenue, inventories or intangible assets. Any climate costs that are 1% or more of each line item total would have to be reported. Under current rules, companies are generally required to disclose only those climate costs and risks they judge to be material, or significant, for investors. SEC officials are concerned that too few companies are reporting such important climate costs and risks. As SEC chairman Gensler also had many contentious disputes with the crypto industry, which led to the regulatory agency suing several large digital asset companies and exchanges over how they handled and sold cryptocurrency. Gensler investigated Elon Musks’s Telsa for potential fraud surrounding his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, which he rebranded X. In January 2024, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) said that Gensler’s investigation of free speech platform Rumble may have been interfering the site’s role in the 2024 presidential election. Trump can now choose a new chairman for the SEC. Two other commissioners’ terms will expire during Trump’s time in office as well. It is expected that he would nominate commissioners friendlier to the cryptocurrency industry and other financial technology industries. American-based digital exchange Coinbase described the fight against Gensler and the SEC as “existential.” In an interview with Breitbart News, Rep. French Hill (R-AR), who is running to be chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said he would seek to end the targeting and “debanking” of cryptocurrency companies happening under the Biden-Harris administration. “I want to increase competition, make community banking great again, and end the regulatory administrative state’s dominance of the regulatory system,” Hill remarked. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) wrote, “Good riddance,” referring to Gensler’s resignation. Sean Moran is a policy reporter for Breitbart News.

I haphazardly closed up the little house this year. I hurriedly swept the floors, took out the trash, checked the windows, pulled the Dutch door shut and whispered, “Thanks for the memories.” Not long after, a fierce night wind pushed the door open. Blowing snow drifted in and nestled in the corners. Tiny hand-shaped footprints crisscrossed the front porch. With the door ajar, raccoons let themselves in and ransacked the place. They tossed plates and cups, knocked the fry pan on the stove to the floor and clawed at the tablecloth in search of crumbs. So uncivilized. The little house really is just that. It measures 6 feet by 6 feet and has a ceiling that will graze the head of anyone over 5 feet, 2 inches tall. The front porch, which usually holds a red geranium and child-size wicker chair, runs the width of the little house. We built the little house 35 years ago. It was how we spent a summer vacation not long after we moved back to the Midwest. The husband drew meticulous plans, hauled in supplies and was assisted by a work crew that played with the hammer, colored all over the blueprints and littered the work site with empty juice boxes and yogurt pouches. Despite all the help, the little house was eventually finished and soon hosting tea parties, secret clubs, bank robberies and foreign invasions. The years flew, the children grew, the gatherings tapered from often to occasional, and the little house was visited less and less frequently. The life and laughter that once shook the walls quietly disappeared. More than a decade passed before a second generation brought the little house back to life. Red, white and blue garlands on the Fourth of July, small bouquets of freshly picked herbs in the summer, a pumpkin on the porch at Halloween and every pot and pan filled with maple leaves and acorns in the fall. A VRBO listing would read like this: Small, aging, rustic cottage. No fridge, heat or running water. Nearest bathroom 20 feet away in the big house. Kitchen fully stocked with plastic food. Decrepit dishware for four and a pink teapot missing the lid. Large chalk wall; no chalk. All you need is imagination. Now, after a busy summer and beautiful fall, the mercury in the thermometer plummeting and the wind howling, the little house stands bare and alone. Just when it appears forsaken and forgotten, a small voice asks to use one of those orange electrical cords in the garage. The plan is to lug a space heater to the little house. And could they cut some evergreens? And could they use that lantern with the candle in the hall? And how soon could I deliver a round of hot chocolate? Once again, the little house bustles with laughter and warmth. At least for one more season. Lori Borgman is a columnist, author and speaker. Email her at lori@loriborgman.com . Get local news delivered to your inbox!OTTAWA — A Liberal MP says his committee colleagues are wasting time by launching a third inquiry into the former employment minister instead of focusing on important legislation for Indigenous Peoples. Jaime Battiste, who is Mi'kmaq, said there has been an "attack" on fellow Liberal MP Randy Boissonnault, who left his position as employment minister on Wednesday after allegations of shifting claims of Indigenous identity and questions around his past business dealings. Boissonnault has been the subject of two ethics committee probes, and Battiste said a third one by the Indigenous and northern affairs committee is "a waste of time, and it seems to be the Conservatives' way of ensuring that nothing gets done in the House of Commons." The Conservatives, NDP and Bloc Québécois all supported pushing ahead with the third study, even after Boissonnault left cabinet. Though Liberal MPs did not object to the motion Thursday, Battiste said the committee's time would be better spent studying legislation on important issues such as First Nations policing, a modern treaty commissioner and clean water for First Nations. "It’s very much my fear and frustration that politics is now becoming more important at the Indigenous and northern affairs committee than actually Indigenous Peoples that we're there every day to try to make life better for," he said. NDP MP Lori Idlout, who is a member of the committee, said Canadians deserve answers and she doesn't expect the probe to cut into the committee's other work. "It's not a waste of time to have MP Boissonnault answer for why his identity kept changing. Pretending to be Indigenous is a serious matter and we need to have him be transparent to all Canadians." Boissonnault came under intense scrutiny after the National Post reported that a company he previously co-owned described itself as wholly Indigenous-owned in order to apply for government contracts set aside for Indigenous businesses. He has been described as Indigenous multiple times in communications from the Liberal party, and in 2018 referred to himself as "non-status adopted Cree" — a statement he has repeated on other occasions. He also said his great-grandmother was a "full-blooded Cree woman." He has since clarified that his adoptive mother and brother are Métis, and he apologized for his shifting claims last Friday. The House ethics committee has separately investigated Boissonnault's past business dealings after media reports alleged he remained involved in the company he co-founded after he was re-elected in 2021 and joined the federal cabinet. Opposition MPs passed a motion in the House of Commons on Tuesday — a day before Boissonnault left cabinet — for the employment minister to appear as a witness to discuss his claims to Indigenous identity. But because Boissonnault is no longer in cabinet, the Liberal chair of the committee ruled Thursday that newly minted Employment Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor is technically the person the motion called to testify. "I figured this might happen," said Conservative MP and committee member Jamie Schmale. "If there are games to be played here and we have Minister Petitpas Taylor attend, I don't think that goes to the spirit of the House order. I don't think it would be very responsible to go against that ... It's Randy Boissonault that the House determined it needs and is ordered to appear along with several other witnesses. That's who we expect to be in that seat." A new motion from the Conservatives calls directly for Boissonnault to appear at the committee. One of the key concerns raised about Boissonnault in recent weeks is related to the government's Indigenous business procurement strategy. A directory provides the federal government with names of businesses it could consider using to meet its Indigenous procurement target, which states a minimum five per cent of the total value of government contracts should be held by Indigenous-owned businesses. Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu told a House of Commons committee on Tuesday that the company Boissonnault founded was not listed on that directory. Battiste suggested the committee will now be in a position of determining who is eligible for Indigenous programming and determining who is Indigenous, and as a First Nations person he does not agree with that. "I have a lot of concern because no First Nations, Métis or Inuit in this country are asking committees — who are filled with non-Indigenous Peoples — to determine our identity, who we are." Schmale and Bloc MP Sebastian Lemire, who is also a member of the committee, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 21, 2024.

Kohli’s dismissal unfolded in dramatic fashion. Facing Mitchell Starc just before the lunch break, Kohli attempted to drive a full-length delivery pitched outside the off-stump. The iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground witnessed another emotional rollercoaster during the Boxing Day Test as Virat Kohli once again fell prey to the outside-off trap. While his dismissal sparked discussions among fans and pundits, it was Anushka Sharma's reaction in the stands that truly caught everyone's attention. The actress, a constant presence at Kohli’s games, showcased a range of emotions that resonated with millions watching worldwide. Edged and caught behind the wicket, all of Virat Kohli's dismissals this series have had a common theme #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/5mz5SGcAbh The Dismissal That Sparked a Reaction Kohli’s dismissal unfolded in dramatic fashion. Facing Mitchell Starc just before the lunch break, Kohli attempted to drive a full-length delivery pitched outside the off-stump. The shot, while aesthetically pleasing, resulted in a faint edge that carried to Usman Khawaja at first slip. As Kohli walked back to the pavilion for just five runs, cameras immediately panned to Anushka Sharma, who was visibly disheartened by the turn of events. Anushka, known for her poised demeanor, was seen initially clapping in encouragement but soon turned pensive as Kohli’s wicket flashed on the giant screen. Her subtle but poignant reaction reflected the disappointment of countless fans who had pinned their hopes on the Indian talisman. Anushka Sharma: A Pillar of Support Over the years, Anushka Sharma has been an unwavering source of support for Virat Kohli, both on and off the field. Her presence in the stands often serves as a reminder of the human side of cricket’s biggest stars. During the Boxing Day Test, her reaction encapsulated the collective heartbreak of a nation rooting for Kohli to overcome his recent struggles. Social media was abuzz with clips of Anushka’s expressions, with fans lauding her for always standing by her husband through his highs and lows. Many drew parallels to past moments when she celebrated Kohli’s centuries with unrestrained joy or consoled him during tough times. The Emotional Toll of Cricket Cricket, often dubbed a religion in India, places immense pressure not just on the players but also on their families. For Anushka, this was another instance of navigating the emotional highs and lows that come with being married to one of the world’s most scrutinized athletes. Experts weighed in on the situation, noting how players like Kohli, despite their stature, are vulnerable to public and personal pressures. “Anushka’s reaction speaks volumes about the emotional stakes involved,” former cricketer Michael Clarke remarked during the broadcast. “It’s a reminder that behind every star is a family living every moment of the game.” Social Media Reacts to the Viral Moment The internet, quick to spot such moments, erupted with reactions to Anushka’s expressions. Memes, heartfelt posts, and messages of solidarity flooded platforms like Twitter and Instagram. “Anushka Sharma clapping for Kohli even when he’s struggling is the energy we all need in life,” one fan tweeted. Another wrote, “Behind every great cricketer is a partner who feels every ball, every shot, every dismissal.” The moment also sparked debates about the added scrutiny on cricketers’ families. Many urged fans to show empathy, acknowledging the emotional toll that constant public attention brings. Kohli’s Struggles Continue Kohli’s dismissal wasn’t just another wicket; it symbolized his ongoing battle with the fifth-stump line. While he showcased discipline earlier in the innings, the lapse highlighted his vulnerability against Australia’s relentless bowling attack. For Anushka, the disappointment of the moment was palpable. Yet, her unwavering presence serves as a reminder of the resilience required to endure such challenges. Kohli, no stranger to adversity, will undoubtedly draw strength from the support of his loved ones as he looks to bounce back in the series.

Alex Ovechkin has a broken left fibula and is expected to be out four to six weeks, an injury that pauses the Washington Capitals superstar captain’s pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s NHL career goals record. The Capitals updated Ovechkin’s status Thursday after he was evaluated by team doctors upon returning from a three-game trip. The 39-year-old broke the leg in a shin-on-shin collision Monday night with Utah’s Jack McBain, and some of his closest teammates knew it was not good news even before Ovechkin was listed as week to week and placed on injured reserve. “Everyone’s bummed out,” said winger Tom Wilson, who has played with Ovechkin since 2013. “We were sitting there saying: ‘This is weird. Like, it’s unbelievable that he’s actually hurt.’ It’s one of those things where like, he’s going to miss games? I’ve been around a long time, and it’s new to me.” Ovechkin in his first 19 seasons missed 59 games — and just 35 because of injury. Durability even while throwing his body around with his physical style is a big reason he is on track to pass Gretzky’s mark of 894 goals that once looked unapproachable. “He doesn’t go out there and just coast around,” Wilson said. “He’s played 20 years every shift running over guys and skating. He’s a power forward, the best goal-scorer ever maybe, and he’s a power forward that plays the game really hard.” Ovechkin surged to the top of the league with 15 goals in his first 18 games this season. He was on pace to break the record and score No. 895 sometime in February. “You know when goal-scorers start scoring, it’s dangerous,” said defenseman John Carlson, who has been teammates with Ovechkin since 2009-10. “There was a bit of that in the downs that everyone was feeling about it too, of course. We see him coming to the rink every day, we know what’s at stake. You never want anyone to get injured, but there’s a lot to it and certainly he was playing his best hockey in years.” ___ AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl Stephen Whyno, The Associated PressIt’s no secret that San Franciscans don’t feel particularly great about their city government. Residents have repeatedly signaled in surveys that they feel The City is heading in the wrong direction , and November’s election saw candidates promising change earn voters’ support. But feelings aside, just how effective is city government, and is it meeting its own goals? The City Controller’s Office asks these questions every year and assembles a plethora of data to grade city departments. On Thursday, the Controller’s Office released its Annual Performance Results report, which features data from the fiscal year from July 2023 through June 2024. The goal is to not only provide San Franciscans with a snapshot of government performance, but help departments make decisions based on real data. “Good data informs good policy. We aim to provide something that’s a useful snapshot of our city’s service delivery performance — something to supplement the narratives that don’t always capture a complete picture of complicated issues,” Controller Greg Wagner said in a statement. “Departments can hopefully see at a glance what’s working well and where there’s more work to be done.” The Examiner pored over the report and highlighted a few noteworthy nuggets below. Libraries Maybe it’s just a symptom of bookflation , but the San Francisco Public Library has never been busier. The library system lent out about 14 million materials, which includes electronic and physical items, in the last fiscal year. That’s beyond the quantity in any other year in the last decade, and a pronounced recovery from a COVID-19 pandemic drop-off. The library system took steps during the pandemic to make electronic materials easier to access. It’s also seeing a rise in physical media distribution, which was up 12% last year, which is partly attributed to a change in policy that allowed patrons to renew physical materials for up to five times instead of three. ( Editor’s note: This is especially handy for items like cookbooks. Get comfortable, “The Levantine Vegetarian” by Salma Hage, you’re staying a while.) The circulation increase comes despite the fact that the number of physical people entering a physical library remains less than two-thirds of what it was prior to the pandemic, though even that figure continues to rise every year since COVID-safety restrictions were lifted. The jails Both violent and property crime continued to trend downward in San Francisco, but its jails are more full than in any other year included in the controller’s analysis. The average daily jail population in San Francisco rose by 34% from fiscal year 2023 to 2024, and its jails were at 86% of their rated capacity. The change is likely due to a couple of factors. The City joined up with state and federal law enforcement in May 2023 to launch a coordinated crackdown on low- and high-level drug dealing in and around the Tenderloin and Civic Center, where open-air drug markets had become commonplace. The jail population also began to rise after a pandemic-induced dropoff. Prior to 2020, the number of people in jail was above what it is now — 1,322 in fiscal year 2019, compared to the 1,099 on average for the last year — although capacity was higher at the time. 911 response A shortage of emergency dispatchers continues to plague The City’s 911 call-response times. In August, KQED reported The City is short about 40 dispatchers of its goal of 160 to 165. Just 76% of 911 calls were responded to within 15 seconds in fiscal year 2024. This was the fourth consecutive year in which response times worsened, according to the controller’s data. As recently as 2020, 94% of 911 calls were answered within 15 seconds. City data for the current fiscal year shows a moderate improvement within the last few months, with 82% of 911 calls answered within 15 seconds in September. San Francisco dispatchers not matched that monthly average response time in more than two years. The controller’s report attributes worsening performance to a shortage in staffing exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, but it notes causes for hope. The Department of Emergency Management told the controller’s office that it has hired a recruiter and shortened its hiring process by 20%. Its last two 911 Dispatch Academy classes were its largest since prior to the pandemic and officials expect staffing to improve throughout the next fiscal year. Despite the dispatcher shortage, emergency responders were able to dramatically improve their response times to “A” emergencies — the most extreme situations — by nearly a full minute, from 6.9 last year to 6 this year. That’s significantly under the target of 8 minutes. Naloxone distribution After an alarming and steep increase in fatal opioid overdoses in recent years, city health officials have touted a steady dropoff throughout this year. One factor in the improvement may be The City’s drastic escalation in its distribution of naloxone, a drug that can reverse overdoses. Though it still fell short of its target for the year, the Department of Public Health reported giving out 157,528 doses of naloxone in fiscal year 2024, more than twice what it did just two years prior.

NEW DELHI: The political faceoff over BR Ambedkar, triggered by Amit Shah 's remarks in Rajya Sabha during the Constitution debate, has spilled over from Parliament to the streets with opposition parties trying to make the most of the controversy while the BJP launching a coordinated counter offensive to control the damage. Launching an all-out offensive on the issue, the Congress today took out protest march in several states demanding the resignation of Amit Shah. The grand-old-party has announced to take up the issue of "insult" to B R Ambedkar at its CWC meeting to be held in Karnataka's Belagavi from December 26 and has promised a "strong follow-up" action. "Over the last week, Congress party workers all over India have been participating in agitation. Today, all district committees are holding demonstrations and will be submitting a memorandum to the President of India, through the district collectors, demanding the resignation of home minister Amit Shah," Congress general secretary organisation K C Venugopal said. In Lucknow, Bahujan Samaj Party workers held protests in parts of the state demanding Amit Shah's resignation. BSP chief Mayawati had earlier described Shah's remarks as deeply hurtful to Ambedkar's followers. Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party has announced to organize 'PDA Charcha (discussion)' programme across all assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh from December 26 to January 25. The initiative aims to safeguard the Constitution and propagate the ideals of Dr BR Ambedkar, party chief spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary said. "The statement made by the Union home minister in Parliament was 'disrespectful' to Dr BR Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution," the party said in a statement. The Samajwadi Party contends that dominant, feudal forces have historically opposed Ambedkar's principles of equality, as these challenged their traditional authority and sought to empower oppressed and underprivileged communities, it said. Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Kunal Ghosh also demanded either resignation or apology from Amit Shah and said the BJP needs to clarify its stand. "Union Home Minister Amit Shah insulted Dr BR Ambedkar and the spirit of the Constitution. Many parties including TMC, condemned and opposed the statement of Union home minister Amit Shah. He should reconsider his statement, beg your pardon or resign. Every party including TMC is protesting and after all this BJP is under pressure. They (BJP) have to take some stand and clarify their stand with the nation," Kunal Ghosh said. The BJP responded strongly to the opposition attack and launched a coordinated counter offensive. Almost all BJP chief ministers came out in defence of Amit Shah and attacked the Congress for distorting the statement of Union home minister. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath demanded an apology from Congress for continuously insulting Bharat Ratna Baba Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar and said that the Bharatiya Janata Party has worked to build the country of Baba Saheb's dreams. The UP CM said the Congress has a "history of insulting" Dalits and the underprivileged in the country. Last week, Parliament saw dramatic scenes following Amit Shah's remarks. There were parallel protests from both the treasury and the opposition benches. The protests outside Parliament led to a huge scuffle between the two sides with two BJP MPs, Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput, sustaining injuries. Both parties alleged that their party members had been pushed around. Later, Delhi Police registered an FIR based on BJP's comlaint against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is also the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha. A delegation of Congress MPs, including women MPs, also approached Parliament Street Police Station, accusing BJP leaders of misbehaving with Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge during the scuffle in Parliament premises. With elections in Delhi scheduled early next year, the opposition will continue to rake up the issue to put the BJP on the defensive. Moreover, with the Congress making it clear that it will not stop protesting till Amit Shah resigns and apologises, we may continue to see this controversy play out for some more time.
