Dear @stephenasmith - HBCU expert here. The FUTURE Act was done by Alma Adams, passed both chambers with veto proof majorities, then signed. Only $85M was for HBCUs; the $255M includes MSIs. The fund was started by Pres. Bush in 2007. Let's talk so you have good information.
Let me be clear! My NUMBER ONE reason for going to the White House was to address HBCUs directly with President Trump!

Hindsight is 20/20: NC Republicans could have easily drawn a 9R-5D or even a 10R-4D map that would have withstood a blue tsunami (by drawing one more safe Dem seat in the Triad). Instead, by trying for a 11R-3D map, they're on track to end up in a 11D-3R hole.

With provisionals now counted in North Carolina, it looks like Democrats will flip the seats of both GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx NC-5 and GOP Rep. Greg Murphy NC-3. That would put Democrats on course to win 260 seats in the House, a net gain of 45 seats.

Listen to this, y'all.
Asked if he forgives Cindy Hyde-Smith for blocking his nomination for a federal judgeship in 2022: COLOM: I forgive her. I'm a District Attorney. I mean, I see mothers forgive people that killed their son, right? ... To the best of my knowledge, I don't think an African American's being confirmed to any federal position since cindy hyde-smith has been in office. And what that tells us is she's not representing all people.

NEW: With Georgia's state House flipped blue, and a new Dem governor, there's now a chance to reform the state election board, which has promoted anti-voting policies. Gov.-elect Lance Bottoms has proposed eliminating it entirely. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

The word “context” is the undisputed heavyweight champion with people like this 😂
Clinton lost 54 seats in the 1994 midterm election. Obama lost 63 seats in the 2010 midterm election. Trump just lost 41 seats in the 2026 midterm election. It’s not exactly the historic event you believe it to be.
