'Greater reckoning': Obama's spot in the Democratic sun fading after Harris loss
Former President Barack Obama faces criticism following the Democratic Party's losses in the 2024 election, with experts suggesting a "greater reckoning" is on the horizon. The election saw President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as nominees, but ultimately resulted in a decisive victory for Trump, raising questions about Obama's influence and leadership within the party.

Critics, including Democratic strategist Julian Epstein, argue that Obama and party leaders failed to recognize the reasons behind their electoral defeat, particularly their disconnect with working-class voters. The Democratic establishment is now grappling with the implications of these losses, as calls for a shift in strategy and leadership intensify.

Rosen emphasizes the importance of engaging with diverse communities to understand their concerns.

Hospitals rake in more than £1 BILLION on car parking fees from patients, visitors and staff - 'Tax on the sick'
NHS hospitals have collected £1.15 billion in car parking fees over the past six years, with £242.8 million collected in 2023-24 alone. Critics label this a "tax on the sick," as £847.5 million came from patients and visitors, while NHS staff contributed £304.3 million.

Despite government efforts to limit charges, 37 hospital trusts have raised their fees in the last two years, with some reaching £3.90 for the first hour. Advocates argue these fees impose an unfair financial burden on patients and staff, especially those traveling long distances for treatment.

California's Soros-backed progressive experiment collapses after a decade
California voters have rejected progressive DA George Gascón and passed Proposition 36, which reinstates felony charges for certain drug possession and thefts under $950. This measure aims to address rising crime and homelessness by increasing penalties and facilitating rehabilitation.

Supporters argue that Prop 36 reflects a demand for accountability and safety, while critics warn it may lead to higher incarceration rates. The proposition's approval indicates a significant shift in public sentiment regarding crime and public safety in California.
