Rep. Eric Swalwell wants voting by phone which would obviously be to completely corrupt US elections. That would eliminate all voter ID and probably allow illegal aliens to vote. One must wonder if FangFang gave him the suggestion. The California Democrat from the 14th district is running for Governor to replace the termed-out Gavin Newsom.

Aftyn Behn, the Democratic nominee running in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District special election, repeatedly said in recent years she would be willing to get arrested for abortion advocacy. Behn, a state representative, is seeking to replace Rep. Mark Green, who resigned from office earlier this year, and is running against Republican Matt Van Epps, who’s been endorsed by President Donald Trump. “What is the positive if there is a silver lining? What this does not mean for Tennessee is that groups on the ground will continue to provide training in terms of self-managed abortions, and so, instead of going to a doctor because we won’t have any doctors that provide abortions, how do you do it at home?” she said in a May 2022 conversation with the Tennessee Holler. “We’ll continue to figure out how to get abortion pills to people. So the organizing does not stop just because Roe is overturned,” Behn continued. In August 2022, Tennessee made most abortions illegal unless there is a “medical emergency.” Behn was part of a lawsuit against the state’s 2024 law signed by Republican Gov. Bill Lee that “creates the criminal offense of abortion trafficking of a minor; provides for a civil action against a person committing the offense of abortion trafficking of a minor if certain conditions are met.” The Democrat told the Nashville Scene in April 2024 that she would be open to getting arrested for violating the law. “I think most importantly, we’ll see the increased criminalization of people seeking abortions and those assisting them. So I anticipate lots of bail funds for women seeking abortions, getting caught getting abortions, women like myself that plan to travel with women getting arrested. And we’ll also see increased surveillance, policing, and fear. So we are really living in a dystopian reality, I tell you ladies and gents. It’s not great,” the Democrat said earlier in the conversation. Right now, DailyWire+ annual memberships are fifty percent off during our Black Friday sale. Join now at dailywire.com/blackfriday. As for the 2024 law regarding abortions for minors outside of Tennessee without parental consent, Axios reported that a federal judge prevented some aspects of the law from going into effect following the Behn-backed lawsuit, over the “recruitment” element of the law due to free speech concerns, but kept other noteworthy parts of the legislation. Tennessee Advocates for Planned Parenthood is backing Behn in the special election, saying in a recent Instagram post that she “is a champion of reproductive rights with a proven track record of voting for and sponsoring legislation that would protect access to sexual and reproductive health care, and preserve our rights to our own bodies.” Sixty percent of the district in which Behn is running voted for Trump, and nearly 60% voted for Green in 2024. Still, Democrats are eager to see it as a pick-up opportunity following off-year election victories in Virginia, New Jersey, and Georgia earlier this month, with the House Majority PAC pouring $1 million into advertisements for the race, Politico reported. Cook Political Report ranks the race as “Likely Republican.” The Daily Wire reached out to the Behn campaign for comment. The Democrat is already under fire for remarks she made in a 2020 clip. “I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently an ‘it’ city to the rest of the country. But I hate it,” she said at the time. Behn said in a post after the clip went viral that, “NO, I DO NOT HATE THE CITY I REPRESENT.” “The national GOP’s new attack? That ‘I hate Nashville.’ I’ve cried in the Country Music Hall of Fame no less than 10 times. They’re panicking because we’re close to winning. Eyes on the prize, y’all. Let’s go,” she continued. In addition, Fox News reported on old remarks from Behn criticizing law enforcement. Election Day is December 2.

WOODLAWN, Maryland—There is a pattern in the Trump administration that if you are very good at the first job you are appointed to, you are likely to get another one, something more challenging than the first. It’s been true for Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is also the acting national security adviser and acting archivist of the United States, and for several months, he was the acting director of the U.S. Agency for International Development. Frank Bisignano hasn’t hit peak Rubio yet. But the 18th commissioner of the Social Security Administration, who was confirmed by the Senate in May, was named earlier this month the chief executive officer of the IRS, serving directly under Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Bisignano said his path to both positions had a humble beginning. His dedication to keeping Social Security robust and available to all people for generations to come originated from those working-class beginnings and his family’s experiences. “I grew up in a house with my maternal grandfather, who immigrated to our country and served in World War I and became blind, and a father who was orphaned in 1937. He was one of 15 children. By 1940, orphans got survivor’s benefits, and that played a big role in his life,” said Bisignano, who grew up in the working-class Mill Basin neighborhood of Brooklyn. Both men, he said, benefited from Social Security in different ways. “It played a very significant role in their lives,” he said. “My dad never called himself an orphan, but he got shuffled around to different sisters’ homes, and obviously, Social Security was helpful for them to take care of him.” He said his childhood was loving and resilient and filled with determination. It was also loud and included many traditions brought over from the old country, such as the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. “All of us would gather in the basement to do the cooking. It is something we still do today with my family,” he said. “After the war, my father spent over 40 years as a treasury employee. And honestly, I grew up in a home with two role models who both were war veterans, and they shaped my life,” he said. Bisignano said most of his life has been spent living in and around New York in finance, a career path that began with a summer internship with Bear Stearns. “I got hooked on the business,” he said. He was so good at it that he became the youngest senior vice president at American Express in his 20s, going on to manage a third of First Fidelity Bank by the age of 30. Bisignano then listed an impressive career at the highest level of finance, innovation, and banking. He found a way to have all three intersect with the transformative power of technology. From JPMorgan to Fiserv, Bisignano has been at the center of some of the greatest success stories of the past 20 years. It was while he was the CEO at Fiserv, one of the largest financial software companies in the country, that he received a phone call to come see Donald Trump, then the president-elect, about running Social Security. Trump posted on social media, “Frank is a business leader with a tremendous track record of transforming large corporations. He will be responsible for delivering the Agency’s commitment to the American people for generations to come!” Bisignano, who just celebrated the social service’s 90th birthday with employees, said the task was not just to protect the program’s future but also to make it more efficient for people trying to access it, as well as to reduce the call wait time. Efficiency and technology are Bisignano’s sweet spots. Six years ago, he navigated the complicated merger of Fiserv and the payment processing company First Data. Bisignano, who has lived and worked in New York for most of his life, said it was his multiple treks by car across the country from Brooklyn to Kansas during his college years that gave him a real sense of the expanse of the country and the complexity of needs that were similar to and different from his family’s. “It was good for me because if you grow up in the Northeast and you just live in New York, you start thinking that is normal. And then you see there’s a whole other world. It helped me run companies, but it also helped me call on people at a very young age and talk about things that I would never have been able to if I had never stepped out of the Northeast,” he said. Bisignano smiled when he was asked if he took a pay cut for this job—of course he did—but he said he was so inspired by the president’s commitment to protecting and preserving Social Security that he didn’t think twice about joining the administration. “My job is to get Social Security to be a great service, that it will be here forever,” he said, adding, “I feel the urgency to get this completely right for everybody, and I will.” COPYRIGHT 2025 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.
