Defense industry dollars flowed to a Montana Democratic senator after he gained a key role on spending

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:14:42 GMT

WASHINGTON — As Democrat Jon Tester headed for a surprise victory in his 2006 U.S. Senate race, he attacked his incumbent Montana Republican rival’s close ties to lobbyists and committed himself to a rigorous ethics standard.Now as he looks to win a fourth term in a race that could decide control of the Senate, Tester is embracing a practice he once held against his opponent: taking contributions from lobbyists and executives of corporations while helping craft a government spending package that directs billions of dollars.After Tester became chair of the Senate Defense Appropriations subcommittee in 2021, he received campaign contributions totaling over $160,000 from employees and committees representing the defense industry. At one point last year, 49 Lockheed Martin executives and lobbyists — none of whom had given to the senator in the past — gave Tester’s campaign a combined total of nearly $50,000. There is no indication the contributions swayed Tester’s decision m...

Nicki Minaj's neighbors want to boot her out of Hidden Hills over concerns about her husband's criminal history. Resident Beverly Barden issued a petition called Say No to Sex Offenders in Hidden Hills, and is calling for the eviction of Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, from the posh neighborhood."We, the residents of Hidden Hills, must put our resident’s safety first," the petition reads.

DO NOT allow this dangerous sex offender to live near you, SHOW that you are against sex offenders in our Hidden Hills neighborhood!"The couple moved into the home in December 2022, and reportedly paid a whopping $19.5 million, according to TMZ.

Mailbag: SMU’s fit in the Pac-12 (better than in the Big 12), SDSU’s competitive position, “chatter” about collapse and more

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:14:42 GMT

The Hotline mailbag is published Friday. Send questions to [email protected] and include ‘mailbag’ in the subject line. Or hit me on Twitter: @WilnerHotline.Some questions have been edited for clarity and brevity.If the Big 12 had a do-over, would the conference have taken a different approach and added SMU? Would taking the Mustangs off the table have further injured the Pac-12? — @d_klauserA fascinating question without a definitive answer, at least right now. But let’s dive in, because the topic itself is instructive to the broader conversation around realignment.First, the Big 12 could not have known in September 2021, when it added Houston, UCF, Cincinnati and Brigham Young, that the Pac-12 would lose the Los Angeles schools and fall into an existential crisis.Additionally, it’s reasonable to be skeptical of SMU’s value given that the Big 12 already had a school (TCU) in the greater Dallas media market.Finally, the Hotline has been told by indu...

Borenstein: The Titan implosion provides a tragic lesson in buyer beware

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:14:42 GMT

Caveat emptor. Let the buyer beware.Even if you’re a billionaire.As the world was gripped this week by the search for the Titan submersible, the tragic saga raised difficult questions about transparency and risk tolerance.“You know, at some point, safety just is pure waste,” Stockton Rush, the chief executive of deep-sea exploration company OceanGate Expeditions, told CBS. (Greg Gilbert/The Seattle Times via AP)We have heard two narratives. First, that the passengers understood they were taking risks climbing into a 22-foot vessel to dive 13,000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean. Second, that Stockton Rush, the chief executive of deep-sea exploration company OceanGate Expeditions, in a quest for technical advancement, played fast and loose with safety.Those two narratives are not mutually exclusive. To a certain extent, they are both true. For the story of the five deaths as the Titan imploded — just as some experts had feared and warned — isn’t just a lesson about risk....
