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.

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.
Is this a thing now? A fraternity at UT Chatt did the same thing a year ago.

After years of fighting to recover hundreds of millions of dollars in funding owed to Tennessee State University, the former president is turning her attention to Washington. bit.ly/4sYzCc4
"Starting in January, it will not consider an applicant’s race or ethnicity, but will instead offer the scholarships to students who “demonstrate a commitment” to the success of Hispanics in the United States, the group said."

University statement regarding Nov. 6 video:
ALT The image contains a statement from The University of Mississippi. It addresses a video with offensive behavior, condemning it and offering support to those affected. It mentions that investigations are underway, adhering to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The statement emphasizes the university's commitment to a safe and welcoming environment for all, ensuring well-being and safety.

🎤👑 A HIP-HOP QUEEN IS GETTING HER FLOWERS! 💐🔥
Brooklyn's very own MC Lyte will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, receiving the Musical Influence Award! 🗽🏆
Let's put some RESPECT on her name:
One of hip-hop's original female trailblazers, MC Lyte made history with her groundbreaking 1988 debut album, Lyte as a Rock, helping pave the way for generations of women in rap! 💿 And let's not forget,“Ruffneck” made her the first female solo rapper nominated for a Grammy!** 🎶👏🏽
A true NYC icon whose impact on hip-hop is undeniable. Her legacy is bigger than music, she helped change the game for women in the culture! ❤️🔥
Let's give this queen her flowers! 👇🏽💐
One of my all time favorite @PhilanderSmith alums. Came to the games, was a great presence, just the kindest man you’ll ever meet.

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.
