Listen, I was part of the camp that wanted Drake Maye to wait it out for 6-8 weeks and then get the nod. Well, he’s proven to be more ready than I thought and I’m glad he got his chance earlier in the season than I predicted. In the game against Miami, he again showed flashes but there are still teething problems. Maye may have a fumbling problem. He coughed up the ball in two consecutive weeks and this was his fifth fumble of the season. The good news is that it should be coachable and easy to fix. Young quarterbacks in the league at times still think they’re playing a college defense so they hold the ball that extra second or two longer, but in the NFL that’s just another second the defense can get to the ball. Maye also tends to hold the ball away from his body when he’s under pressure. I understand why he does it because he’s looking to still make a play, but something he’ll need to learn, sometimes it’s best to just take the sack and punt the ball away. Postgame Maye spoke about being loose with the football. “The fumble – just find a way to protect the football and go down, or find a way to get it out. I think I maybe could have spun out of it – reversed out of it and escaped it... don’t want to swim move the guy with a football. That’s just bad,” he said. In addition to the turnovers, Maye didn’t get much help from his offensive line. I knew it was going to be a difficult year with this offensive line especially, without David Andrews, but Sunday was just really bad. Five pre-snap offensive penalties dug Maye and the rest of the offense into a bigger hole. Vederian Lowe accounted for three false starts, Demontrey Jacobs accounted for one false start, and Austin Hooper accounted for an offensive offsides. What’s frustrating is Lowe looked like a serviceable left tackle this season, so to have this bad of a game is concerning. It’s only November so I won’t be writing my column about potential offensive line draft prospects just yet, but best believe it’s in the drafts waiting. The other surprising takeaway from this game was how bad our defense looks. Against the Rams, Sean McVay had the perfect gameplan of having his two best receivers lineup or motion away from Christian Gonzalez and our other corners couldn’t stop them. Against Miami, Gonzalez held his own, but every other corner and safety got torched. Jaylen Waddle has had a down year until Sunday. Waddle posted eight catches for 144 yards and a touchdown. The receptions and yards were all season-highs for him. I get it, Bill Belichick isn’t in charge anymore so the defense, which was top 10 last year, was bound to take a hit, but I wasn’t expecting the hit to sink the ship. Injuries and suspensions have played a toll, but to give up 24 points in the second quarter alone is unacceptable. Hopefully being back at Gillette Stadium against the Indianapolis Colts, the Patriots will take a step in the right direction and not haunt themselves.

The Sacramento Kings are close to landing a veteran to help bolster their roster. Per ESPN's Shams Charania , the Kings and free agent forward Jae Crowder are "close to a deal." Crowder, a 13-year veteran, played for the Milwaukee Bucks during the 2023-24 season. This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.

The Sun columnist, 62, joined all the campmates for the nail-biting challenge, which fell on the evening of Maura Higgins' 34th birthday. 7 The Sun's Jane Moore has taken on her first Bushtucker Trial 7 Despite looking a little apprehensive, she took it in her stride Credit: ITV 7 Jane even comforted GK Barry onboard The Fright Bus Credit: ITV 7 The Loose Women star's campmates shrieked with fear as the trial got underway Credit: ITV But while most of them screamed in terror, Jane managed to stay calm and even comforted her Loose Women co-star GK Barry. Called The Fright Bus, the Bushtucker Trial was dropped on all the celebs as they finished eating their dinner around the camp fire. Moments earlier, they were seen discussing why the lights were still on in the jungle. GK Barry said: "Predictions... I think we're going to have songs, a little boogy and a bit of birthday cake."

"However, to be in with a chance of winning, you will all need to take a trip on The Fright Bus!” Each campmate was handed a ticket before being told to go and stand by a bus stop in the jungle.

The doors then opened and the celebs began filing on, with Jane being left at the front with GK - aka Grace - and Oti Mabuse. Coleen smashed the trial even with Dean’s theatrics...he’s getting so boring "Front row, front row!" she exclaimed. "The seat that everybody wants!" The challenge was simple: the campmates had to endure the bus and work within their rows of three to escape it, passing four stops on its journey. To do this, each row would wait until their stop to manoeuvre three tokens across the bar to the stop button as fast as they could. Every token won, would equate to one piece of luggage. As the gang were told to put their safety goggles on, GK told Jane: "Oh my God, I'm so on edge!" But tapping her knees in anticipation, Jane simply nudged her and replied: "No, come on, we can do this!" She then gently rested her head on GK's shoulder before the task really got going, while wishing everyone luck. Extremely shrill screams is all that could then be heard as creepy crawlies and critters began falling from the roof of the bus onto its famous passengers. In a first for this series, the Bushtucker Trial ended on a major cliffhanger as hosts Ant and Dec revealed the rest of it would be shown in Tuesday night's episode. However, on spin-off show I'm A Celebrity: Unpacked, it was revealed that the nightmare is not yet over for Jane.

Zoom Video Communications Inc. gave a sales forecast for the current quarter that failed to impress investors who were expecting a bigger boost from the company’s expanded suite of products. NSE Revenue will be about $1.18 billion in the period ending in January, Zoom said Monday in a statement. Profit, excluding some items, will be $1.29 to $1.30 a share. Analysts, on average, projected adjusted earnings of $1.28 a share on sales of $1.17 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The shares declined about 4.5% in extended trading after closing at $89.03 in New York. While Zoom’s outlook met estimates, the stock had gained about 48% since the company’s last earnings report in August on optimism about the new products. The software maker known for videoconferencing has expanded its suite of tools to offer phone systems, a contact center application and artificial intelligence assistants. In October, Zoom named former Microsoft Corp. executive Michelle Chang as chief financial officer to replace Kelly Steckelberg, who left to join design startup Canva Inc. Zoom has seen a 59% increase in monthly active users of its AI assistant since the prior quarter, the company said in a presentation to supplement its earnings statement. It also topped 1,250 customers of its contact center application. While there were “no major issues” with the results, a steep gain for the shares headed into Monday’s earnings means the results may not attract new investors, wrote Tyler Radke, an analyst at Citigroup. Separately, the company announced it has dropped “video” from its official name and would now be known as Zoom Communications Inc. “Our new name more accurately reflects our expanding scope and plans for long-term growth,” Chief Executive Officer Eric Yuan wrote in a post announcing the change. In the fiscal third quarter, sales increased 3.6% to $1.18 billion, compared with analysts’ average estimate of $1.16 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Profit, excluding some items, was $1.38 a share in the period ended October 31. Enterprise revenue increased 5.8% to $699 million. Zoom said it had 3,995 customers who contributed more than $100,000 over the past year. An ongoing loss of consumers and small businesses from Zoom has concerned investors, particularly since these customers are typically higher-margin than corporate clients. Average monthly churn in this segment was 2.7% in the quarter, which was better than analysts’ estimates. Sales in the segment was little changed at $479 million. That was Zoom’s lowest-ever online churn, Chang said, according to remarks prepared for the company’s earnings conference call. Zoom said it’s adding $1.2 billion to its existing share buyback program, raising the total repurchase authorization to $2 billion.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks closed at more records after Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street. The S&P 500 rose 0.6% to reach another all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.3% to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite rose 0.6% as Big Tech stocks helped lead the way. Stock markets abroad saw mostly modest losses, after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China as soon as he takes office. U.S. automakers and other companies that could be hurt particularly by such tariffs fell. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are rising toward records Tuesday after Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street, even if they could roil the global economy were they to take effect. The S&P 500 climbed 0.5% and was on track to top its all-time high set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 81 points, or 0.2%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.5% higher, with less than an hour remaining in trading. Stock markets abroad were down, but mostly only modestly, after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China as soon as he takes office. Stock indexes were down 0.1% in Shanghai and nearly flat in Hong Kong, while Canada's main index edged down by just 0.1%. Trump has often praised the use of tariffs , but investors are weighing whether his latest threat will actually become policy or is just an opening point for negotiations. For now, the market seems to be taking it more as the latter. Unless the United States can prepare alternatives for the autos, energy products and other goods that come from Mexico, Canada and China, such tariffs would raise the price of imported items all at once and make households poorer, according to Carl Weinberg and Rubeela Farooqi, economists at High Frequency Economics. They would also hurt profit margins for U.S. companies, while raising the threat of retaliatory tariffs by other countries. General Motors sank 8.2%, and Ford Motor fell 2.6% because both import automobiles from Mexico. Constellation Brands, which sells Modelo and other Mexican beer brands in the United States, dropped 3.9%. Beyond the pain such tariffs would cause U.S. households and businesses, they could also push the Federal Reserve to slow or even halt its cuts to interest rates. The Fed had just begun easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high a couple months ago to offer support to the job market . While lower interest rates can boost the overall economy and prices for investments, they can also offer more fuel for inflation. “Many” officials at the Fed's last meeting earlier this month said they should lower rates gradually, according to minutes of the meeting released Tuesday afternoon. Unlike tariffs in Trump's first term, his proposal from Monday night would affect products across the board. Trump’s tariff talk came almost immediately after U.S. stocks rose Monday amid excitement about his pick for Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent. The hope was the hedge-fund manager could steer Trump away from policies that balloon the U.S. government deficit, which is how much more it spends than it takes in through taxes and other revenue. The talk about tariffs overshadowed another set of mixed profit reports from U.S. retailers that answered few questions about how much more shoppers can keep spending. They’ll need to stay resilient after helping the economy avoid a recession, despite the high interest rates instituted by the Fed to get inflation under control. Kohl’s tumbled 17.6% after its results for the latest quarter fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Tom Kingsbury said sales remain soft for apparel and footwear. A day earlier, Kingsbury said he plans to step down as CEO in January. Ashley Buchanan, CEO of Michaels and a retail veteran, will replace him. Best Buy fell 4.7% after likewise falling short of analysts’ expectations. Dick’s Sporting Goods topped forecasts for the latest quarter thanks to a strong back-to-school season, but its stock lost an early gain to fall 1.4%. A report on Tuesday from the Conference Board said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. J.M. Smucker jumped 5.4% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500 after topping analysts' expectations for the latest quarter. CEO Mark Smucker credited strength for its Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo and Jif brands. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up U.S. indexes. Gains of 2.8% for Amazon and 2% for Microsoft were the two strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. In the bond market, Treasury yields rose following their big drop from a day before driven by relief following Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed to 4.30% from 4.28% late Monday, but it’s still well below the 4.41% level where it ended last week. In the crypto market, bitcoin continued to pull back after topping $99,000 for the first time late last week. It's since dipped back toward $91,600, according to CoinDesk. It’s a sharp turnaround from the bonanza that initially took over the crypto market following Trump’s election. That boom had also appeared to have spilled into some corners of the stock market. Strategists at Barclays Capital pointed to stocks of unprofitable companies, along with other areas that can be caught up in bursts of optimism by smaller-pocketed “retail” investors.

Of the major MSCI stock indices this month, only US and Australian ones have seen gains. This strange phenomenon is attributed not only to Donald Trump's election as US president, which has driven up the value of assets denominated in US dollars but also reflects the significant challenges faced by Asia, Europe and emerging markets. As a result, capital has been "forced" to flow into assets such as the greenback, gold or Bitcoin, leading to an abnormal situation where while US stocks continue to hit new highs, other markets remain under pressure. In fact, the strong US dollar trend started last month, when the market began anticipating a Trump victory. It is important to note that the trend is not solely driven by the US Federal Reserve's interest rate policies. Unfavorable factors across Europe, Asia and emerging markets, as well as potential Trump policies which could impact the economies of other countries, were also influential. The most concerning policy issue is Trump's intention to increase tariffs. Doing so will not only severely impact China, expected to be one of the main targets, but also many emerging industrial countries. As a result, the currencies of some export-oriented countries, notably the yuan, have come under significant pressure. If Trump pursues an aggressive tariffs policy, US demand will plunge, forcing many countries to lower export prices. This will impact their economies by reducing their currencies' attractiveness. Therefore, it is normal for their stock markets to begin facing pressure and currencies to be sold off. As for Europe, the most pressing concern at the moment is the competitive challenges faced by its automotive industry. However, this issue does not stem from Trump's policies but rather from the Chinese automotive industry engaging in global dumping through low prices. That is why the European economy began to show signs of weakness this year. Once in the White House, Trump will likely demand that Europe increase NATO spending, which will place further financial pressure on many countries in the euro zone. They may have to follow the UK in implementing significant tax increases, leading to a substantial reduction in corporate investment and pressure on the consumer market. That is the conundrum facing Europe. Of course, how the Russian invasion of Ukraine turns out will also directly impact Europe's prospects. This is especially true considering that Russian President Vladimir Putin has relaxed conditions for the use of nuclear weapons as the United States transitions from one administration to another, raising concerns about the geopolitical risks for Europe. As a result, the market is not only absorbing US dollar-denominated assets but also paying renewed attention to gold. Additionally, with a stronger greenback, prices of dollar-denominated imports in Europe and Asia, such as crude oil, have started to increase once more. Thus, a rebound in inflation seems inevitable. Moreover, many countries are facing not just inflation but also stagflation, which will provide support for gold prices. It is evident that the imbalance in the global financial markets this month merely reflects worsening global turmoil. This deterioration is expected to continue into next year and investors must exercise increased caution. Andrew Wong is a veteran independent commentatorAnge Postecoglou may be forced into starting some of his big-hitters in attack when Tottenham Hotspur face Roma in the Europa League on Thursday. The Spurs manager has used the cup competitions to hand opportunities to the likes of Wilson Odobert , Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear in attack, but all three will be absent when the Giallorossi travel to North London. Odobert remains out with a hamstring injury; a nasty virus will leave Moore out of contention, and Lankshear is serving a one-match suspension following his red card in the 3-2 loss to Galatasaray earlier this month. Brennan Johnson and Son Heung-min both started in Istanbul, and may be forced to do so again, with Richarlison also sidelined until the new year. Dominic Solanke scored off the bench against Gala, and would ideally be allowed a rest in midweek, and the return of Timo Werner could give Postecoglou that option, but Son may also be the one given the night off. While Spurs' backup options in attack are absent, it is their first-choice players who are missing at the back heading into this one, following the news that Guglielmo Vicario will be out for the foreseeable future after undergoing surgery on a broken ankle. That means Fraser Forster should start in Europe again, but will also be required to face Fulham at the weekend, behind Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies , who have replaced Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero . Romero is in contention to return from a toe injury at the weekend, but remains doubtful, while Van de Ven is not expected to be available until mid-December at the earliest. Rodrigo Bentancur should start as this is a rare opportunity for him to get some game time while he serves a seven-game domestic ban, and the two midfield positions either side of him are up for grabs. Lucas Bergvall should also get another run out in the team, while any one of Yves Bissouma , Pape Matar Sarr , Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison could also feature. Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Forster; Spence, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Werner Click here to see how Roma could line up for this Europa League clash.

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to offer Kelly Loeffler the job of secretary of the Department of Agriculture, two people familiar with the matter told CNN. He is set to meet with her at Mar-a-Lago on Friday afternoon, but as is always the case, nothing is final until Trump announces it. Related video above: Trump nominates Pam Bondi for Attorney General Loeffler, who briefly represented Georgia in the Senate, had fundraised for Trump during the 2024 race and raised several million dollars for his campaign over the summer when she hosted a debate watch party with Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley. Several of Trump’s other Cabinet picks — including Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. Elise Stefanik — were at that party. Loeffler is also co-chairing Trump’s inauguration, as CNN previously reported. The agriculture job will likely be significant — especially as Trump’s pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has promised to assert his influence over the agriculture industry. Loeffler, appointed to the Senate by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp over the wishes of Trump, lost her seat in a 2021 runoff to Democratic now-Sen. Raphael Warnock. Loeffler was a staunch Trump ally in Congress, saying prior to the violence on Jan. 6, 2021, that she planned to vote against certifying her state’s electoral results in support of Trump’s broader effort to upend Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. After the U.S. Capitol attack, Loeffler backed off her objection, saying on the Senate floor: “When I arrived in Washington this morning, I fully intended to object to the certification of the electoral votes. However, the events that have transpired today have forced me to reconsider, and I cannot now in good conscience object to the certification of these electors.” In the same speech, Loeffler condemned the violence at the Capitol, calling it “abhorrent.” Loeffler was among the witnesses who appeared before the grand jury as part of Trump’s 2020 election subversion criminal case in Georgia. Before joining the Senate, Loeffler served as an executive at a financial services firm in Atlanta. She was also a co-owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream. She was among the wealthiest lawmakers during her short time in Congress. Her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, is the CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange. When running for election in 2020, she announced she and her husband were divesting from individual stocks amid sharp criticism over trades she and other lawmakers made ahead of the market downturn caused by the coronavirus. Kemp had appointed Loeffler to fill the seat of Johnny Isakson, who had left the Senate before the end of his term because of health concerns. Trump, however, had pressed the governor to appoint then-Rep. Doug Collins, who then challenged Loeffler for the remainder of Isakson’s term. The two Republicans sought to one-up the other and showcase their loyalty to Trump, moving further and further to the right in a state where Atlanta’s more moderate suburban voters were key. Collins fell short in the November 2020 election, while Loeffler and Warnock advanced to the January 2021 runoff. This year, Trump has selected Collins to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs.

LSU outlasts UCF 109-102 in triple-OT affairRetailer T & R International collapses with $7million inventory up for grabs - and prices start at just $1MOSCOW: Russia fired a hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile at the city of Dnipro on Thursday (Nov 21) in response to the US and UK allowing Kyiv to strike Russian territory with advanced Western weapons, in a further escalation of the 33-month-old war. Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a televised address, said Moscow struck a Ukrainian military facility with a new ballistic missile known as "Oreshnik" (the hazel) and warned that more could follow. "A regional conflict in Ukraine previously provoked by the West has acquired elements of a global character," Putin said in an address to the nation carried by state television after 8pm Moscow time (1700 GMT). A US official said that Washington was pre-notified by Russia shortly before its strike, while another said they had briefed Kyiv and other close allies in recent days to prepare for the possible use of such a weapon. Earlier on Thursday, Kyiv said that Russia had fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a weapon designed for long-distance nuclear strikes and never before used in war, though US officials said it was an intermediate range ballistic missile that has a smaller range. Regardless of its classification, the latest strike highlighted rapidly rising tensions in the past several days. Ukraine fired US and British missiles at targets inside Russia this week despite warnings by Moscow that it would see such action as a major escalation. "Today there was a new Russian missile. All the characteristics - speed, altitude - are (of an) intercontinental ballistic (missile). An expert (investigation) is currently underway," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video statement. Ukraine's foreign ministry urged the international community to react swiftly to the use of what it said was "the use by Russia of a new type of weaponry." A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Russia likely possesses a handful of the "experimental" intermediate-range ballistic missiles used in Thursday's strike. Ukraine's air force said the missile targeted Dnipro in central-eastern Ukraine and was fired from the Russian region of Astrakhan, more than 700km away. It did not specify what kind of warhead the missile had or what type of missile it was. There was no suggestion it was nuclear-armed. Intermediate-range ballistic missiles have a range of 3,000km to 5,500km. "Whether it was an ICBM or an IRBM, the range isn't the important factor," said Fabian Hoffmann, a doctoral research fellow at Oslo university who specialises in missile technology and nuclear strategy. "The fact that it carried a MIRVed (Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) payload is much more significant for signaling purposes and is the reason Russia opted for it. This payload is exclusively associated with nuclear-capable missiles." Russia also fired a Kinzhal hypersonic missile and seven Kh-101 cruise missiles, six of which were shot down, the Ukrainian air force said. The attack targeted enterprises and critical infrastructure in Dnipro, the air force said. Dnipro was a missile-making centre in the Soviet era. Ukraine has expanded its military industry during the war, but keeps its whereabouts secret. The air force did not say what the missile targeted or whether it had caused any damage, but regional governor Serhiy Lysak said the missile attack damaged an industrial enterprise and set off fires in Dnipro. Two people were hurt. Ukrainska Pravda, a Kyiv-based media outlet, had cited anonymous sources saying the missile was an RS-26 Rubezh, a solid-fuelled intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 5,800km, according to the Arms Control Association. "TOTALLY UNPRECEDENTED" A group of glowing projectiles could be seen plummeting to the ground from the night sky in a video published by Come Back Alive, a Ukrainian military charity. It said the video was of Dnipro overnight. The NATO military alliance did not respond to a request for comment. The US European Command said it had nothing on the reported use of an ICBM and referred questions to the US Department of Defense. Some military experts said the missile launch, if confirmed, could be seen as an act of deterrence by Moscow following Kyiv's strikes into Russia with Western weapons this week, after restrictions on such strikes were lifted. Russian war correspondents on Telegram and an official speaking on condition of anonymity said Kyiv fired British Storm Shadow cruise missiles into Russia's Kursk region bordering Ukraine on Wednesday. Russia's defence ministry, in its daily report of events over the previous 24 hours on Thursday, said air defences had shot down two British Storm Shadow cruise missiles but did not say where. Britain had previously let Ukraine use Storm Shadows only within Ukrainian territory. Ukraine also fired US ATACMS missiles into Russia on Tuesday after US President Joe Biden gave the all-clear to use such missiles in this way, two months before he leaves office and Donald Trump returns to the White House. Putin on Tuesday lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike in response to a broader range of conventional attacks. Trump has said he will end the war, without saying how, and has criticised billions of dollars in aid for Ukraine under Biden. The warring sides believe Trump is likely to push for peace talks - not known to have been held since the war's earliest months - and are trying to attain strong positions before negotiations. Moscow has said the use of Western weapons to strike Russian territory far from the border would be a major escalation in the conflict. Kyiv says it needs the capability to defend itself by hitting Russian rear bases used to support Moscow's February 2022 invasion.EXCLUSIVE Inside the insidious Democratic plot to keep Biden in office using harassment tactics out of a spy novel The plan included sending clowns and musicians to harass No Labels founder The proposal also suggested 'bird dogging' members of Congress Read all the details of the plan below By EMILY GOODIN, SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT IN WASHINGTON D.C. Published: 20:20 GMT, 24 November 2024 | Updated: 20:54 GMT, 24 November 2024 e-mail 18 View comments Democratic allies of Joe Biden plotted a secret harassment campaign to keep a third-party challenger out of the 2024 election in order to ensure his victory, even as polls showed voters wanted another option and there were concerns about the president's health. Their plan included 'bird dogging' members of Congress who would support such an option by sending activists to confront them at their offices. It also details a target harassment campaign against No Labels founder Nancy Jacobson and her husband, Mark Penn, a longtime Democratic operative. The plan was to send clowns to block their Georgetown home and drive their neighbors crazy with early morning noise. No Labels - which Penn is not a part of - was running a $70 million effort to field an alternative presidential candidate and get a third-party line on state ballots. But the centrist group dropped its efforts after Biden's allies damaged their ability to recruit a contender. No Labels is now fighting back in federal court and public documents show an incredible proposal from Democrat strategists to clear the way for Biden to win a second term, using techniques straight out of a spy novel. 'Everyone loves a good wake up action- especially the neighbors,' the email read. 'For this, we'd show up at 6am with a truck carrying musical performers and activists marching and chanting. It usually lasts for an hour. We can hire getty to get the event on the wire,' a Democratic strategist wrote in emails exchanged between various people involved with efforts to oppose No Labels. Other options for targeting the couple included 'hire clowns to hangout on their block,' embarrassing them at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner and targeting them with negative ads in a local Georgetown society newspaper. 'The overall cost of this proposal is $180,000 on the low range to $400,000 for 2-4 months of intense activity,' the email read. Not all the documents in the case have been made public so the final figure could be larger. It's also unclear how deeply involved top White House officials and Democratic Party leaders were in the plan. President Joe Biden's allies plotted a secret campaign to keep him in office The proposal included tactics to harass No Labels founder Nancy Jacobson and her husband Mark Penn The emails were sent in May 2023 when the full extent of Biden's health problems remained hidden from the public. Donald Trump had yet clinch the Republican nomination but was the frontrunner. Polls at the time showed voters were desperate from a third option. An NBC News poll released in April found 60% of U.S. adults did not want Trump to run, and 70% did not want Biden to run. Read More Trump Cabinet pick facing most jeopardy in Senate confirmation hearings No Labels was exploring a 'unity ticket' with the goal of giving Americans that option. Democratic operatives, obviously worried about situation, plotted to stop it. Many Democratic groups publicly slammed No Labels at the time, accusing the group of trying to ensure Trump's re-election. But the court documents reveal an entire second level of tactics that go behind the norms of public editorials and on-the-record quotes. The proposal also included plans to 'bird dog' members of Congress who were part of the Problems Solvers Caucus, a group No Labels founded to find bipartisan solutions to the nation's problems. 'One important and effective method to uplift this battle against No Labels is to go directly to their minions in Congress,' the proposal read. 'We will have activists calmly talk to them in the hallways while being recorded. We can then post and share the good videos. We can hit up the entire Problem Solvers Caucus in the House and their key allies in the Senate.' 'We will name and shame the members of the Problem Solvers Caucus who are affiliated with No Labels,' the memo vowed. Ultimately the proposal was never adopted. The Washington Post first reported some of the details of the campaign. DailyMail.com is the first to publish the entire memo outlining the harassment campaign. The detailed proposal outlined by Democratic strategists LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman is a prominent Biden supporter and the new George Soros of political funding One of the men behind the emails Dmitri Mehlhorn, a co-founder of Investing in US, a political operation funded by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. Hoffman is the new George Soros of political funding and he was heavily invested in Biden having a second term. He donated $2 million to help fund the campaign during the New Hampshire primary that urged Democratic voters to write Biden's name on New Hampshire primary ballots. Biden hadn't registered for the New Hampshire primary to comply with a new Democratic National Committee rule that made South Carolina the first state to hold a primary. New Hampshire held its first-in-the-nation primary anyway, which Biden won as a write-in. Hoffman is a massive anti-Trumper. He helped fund writer E. Jean Carroll's sexual assault suit against Trump and supported former Rep. Liz Cheney's 2022 re-election bid, which ultimately failed. He and Mehlhorn split in July 2024 after Mehlhorn had to apologize for comments he made after the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pa., which Mehlhorn suggested was staged. Mehlhorn left Investing in US and joined the Lincoln Project. Biden, after his disastrous debate with Trump in July, ultimately exited the presidential race. Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee and lost to Trump in a landslide.
