Have there been any polls for Max Rose (NY-11)?

I haven't seen any polls, but I've seen a ton of local ads for him and for his opponent, failed 2017 NYC mayoral candidate Nicole Malliotakis.

Rose's district is largely conservative, and he won in an upset in 2018. I'd love to see how the race is going. Any polling? Predictions?

Joe Biden and Mike Pence cross paths with each other at 9/11 memorial

Say what you wish, but this makes me happy. I miss the days when opposing politicians would be civil to each other. I hope after Trump we can see its return.

Why Oklahoma (poll), why?

Ugh, I know it's a deep Red state and I expected Trump to be ahead, but by 25 points? This is insanity. After all the horrible things he's done, he's leading 60-35%? Come on!

Jeff Bezos is now worth a whopping $200 billion

Source: CNN

Hong Kong (CNN Business)Jeff Bezos was already the world's richest man. Now his net worth has skyrocketed once again, setting another new record.

On Wednesday, the Amazon CEO's wealth reached an estimated $202 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires index, as the company's shares soared. That's up about $87 billion since January.

The explosive growth in Bezos' fortune is being driven by his holdings in Amazon (AMZN). The company's stock is up about 25% over the last three months and 86% so far this year, according to data from Refinitiv.

Bezos, who founded Amazon in 1994, keeps breaking records with his wealth. In 2017, he became the richest person on the planet. And last month, his estimated net worth jumped to almost $172 billion, marking a new global high.

He might eventually become a trillionaire while the bottom 99% get poorer.

Georgia poll shows Trump up by 7

Ugh, while I did expect Trump to squeak out Georgia, winning by 7 makes me worry about the two Senate races there. I thought we could have picked up one of them.
