Beyoncé is nominated for her album, ‘Renaissance,’ which is by the way, was better than anything from the actual Renaissance, in my opinion." He added, "The Renaissance was just pictures of grapes and stuff. Beyoncé took it up another level.  I was so inspired by the lyrics of ‘Break My Soul' that I actually quit my job. That’s how powerful that was.

More than 40 years after its last makeover, the plaza in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art is showing its age: the fountains are leaking, the sidewalk is crumbling, and the trees are dying. Overcrowding on the institution’s grand front steps — one of the most popular meeting places in Manhattan — often causes bottlenecks for visitors trying to get to the front door. Now an ambitious plan is in the works to transform this four-block-long stretch along Fifth Avenue, from 80th to 84th Street, into a more efficient, pleasing and environmentally friendly space, with new fountains, tree-shaded allées, seating areas, museum-run kiosks and softer, energy-efficient nighttime lighting. A meeting was held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday for officials from the Met to sit down with some 2,000 neighborhood residents to explain the project. If all goes as scheduled, and the institution receives approval from various city agencies — including the Public Design Commission, Landmarks Preservation … [Read more...] about Met Aims to Build Itself a Museum-Quality Plaza

President Obama’s political team is fanning out across the country in pursuit of an ambitious goal: raising $50 million to convert his re-election campaign into a powerhouse national advocacy network, a sum that would rank the new group as one of Washington’s biggest lobbying operations. But the rebooted campaign, known as Organizing for Action , has plunged the president and his aides into a campaign finance limbo with few clear rules, ample potential for influence-peddling, and no real precedent in national politics. In private meetings and phone calls, Mr. Obama’s aides have made clear that the new organization will rely heavily on a small number of deep-pocketed donors, not unlike the “super PACs” whose influence on political campaigns Mr. Obama once deplored. At least half of the group’s budget will come from a select group of donors who will each contribute or raise $500,000 or more, according to donors and strategists involved in the effort. Unlike a presidential … [Read more...] about Obama’s Backers Seek Big Donors to Press Agenda

It's rapidly approaching three months since a Powerball jackpot has been won, which means there have been no grand prize winners in 2023 so far. That also means the jackpot has kept soaring. It's now the fifth-highest in game history and ninth-largest in the history of U.S. lottery games. Monday night's 02/06/23 Powerball jackpot is worth $747 million, with a cash-value option worth $403.1 million. The drawing will be held at 11 p.m. ET on Monday. There was no grand prize winner from Saturday's 02/04/23 drawing for the $700 million jackpot, which increases the rolling prize. However, there were four tickets sold – one each in Florida, New Jersey, Oregon and Pennsylvania – that matched the first five white balls, and minus the red Powerball, for the game's second prize of $1 million apiece. Had they purchased the Power Play for an extra $1, their second prize would be worth $2 million. In addition, there were 64 winning tickets on Saturday that hit four of the first five numbers, … [Read more...] about Monday night Powerball jackpot is fifth largest in game’s history

A young Michigan woman who was pronounced dead in August, only to be found alive at a funeral home hours later, has died, her family’s lawyer said. The woman, Timesha Beauchamp, 20, died on Sunday at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit after about eight weeks in a coma, said Geoffrey Fieger, the lawyer. Ms. Beauchamp’s ordeal began on Aug. 23, when her family called 911 for help at their home in Southfield, Mich., because Ms. Beauchamp, who was born with cerebral palsy, was having trouble breathing. Four paramedics responded to the call and spent 30 minutes trying to revive her, but Ms. Beauchamp did not show signs of life, Chief Johnny L. Menifee of the Southfield Fire Department, which sent the paramedics, said at a news conference in August. The paramedics then called an emergency department physician, who pronounced Ms. Beauchamp dead based on information provided over the phone, the Fire Department said .

Donald Trump, as expected, announced on Tuesday night that he’ll run for president again in 2024, despite being twice impeached, castigated for fomenting the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, investigated for potential fraud at his family’s business and blamed for Republicans’ weak showing in last week’s midterm elections. But while the former president is counting on faithful Republicans to once again flock to him, he appears to be losing supporters — including deep-pocketed conservative donors who are instead looking for alternatives. Just this morning, Stephen A. Schwarzman of Blackstone , a longtime ally of Trump’s, told Axios that he would back someone from a “new generation” of Republicans. And the attendee list for Tuesday night’s announcement was telling: Loyalists like Roger Stone and Mike Lindell, the C.E.O. of MyPillow, were there, but few members of Congress made the trip. Mr. Trump outlined what a second term would look like. In his meandering 63-minute speech, he focused … [Read more...] about Big-Name Donors Are Moving On From Trump
