New Jersey Congressman Andy Kim was taking his kids to their annual checkup on Friday when his phone went haywire.
“I was in the doctor’s office with them, they were running around and being absolutely crazy, but I could feel in my pocket my phone blowing up, just people calling and texting,” he says. “I looked at it, and the first thing I saw were the images of the gold bars. I was just trying to figure out what was happening.”

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) called for Sen. Bob Menendez (D-n.J.) to resign from the senate on Saturday, joining a growing chorus of fellow Democrats who are calling for Menendez to resign as he faces indictment on bribery charges alongside his wife Nadine Menendez. The pair are accused of having “engaged in a corrupt relationship with three New Jersey associates and businessmen.”
“Senator Menendez should resign,” Fetterman wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “He’s entitled to the presumption of innocence, but he cannot continue to wield influence over national policy,...

Mike Nesmith was a songwriter ahead of his success with The Monkees. Therefore, he felt a kinship with other like-minded people who also found creative release in this job. He was lucky enough to work alongside some of the greatest writers in the industry for The Monkees. Carole King was one of these songwriters. However, for as much as he “loved” King, Nesmith claimed, “I just can’t stand her records.”

Carole King was one of the dozen or more songwriters enlisted to write music for The Monkees’ television series. King was among the many songwriters associated with Don Kirshner of New York’s The Brill Building.

Seoul, Dec 4 (Ians) South Korea’s Trade Minister Ahn Duk-geun will visit the US for talks on the US Inflation Reduction Act (Ira) that excludes electric vehicles assembled outside North America from tax incentives, the Ministry said on Sunday.
Ahn is set to hold meetings with US Trade Representative Katherine Tai, John Podesta, the senior Adviser to the US President for Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation, as well as US lawmakers during a five-day visit that begins on Monday, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
Ahn’s visit came just days after South Korea sent its second official written opinion to Washington on tax benefits for clean hydrogen and fuel production and commercial eco-friendly cars over the weekend, Yonhap news agency reported.
South Korea provided its first official comments on EVs and related sectors in November.

In an utterly accidental way, a box set devoted to the Archies, the infamous TV cartoon band of the Sixties, couldn’t have arrived at a timelier moment. Earlier this month, we lost the Monkees’ Michael Nesmith. The band’s musical gatekeeper, the one most preoccupied with the TV-generated combo being allowed to write its own songs and play on its own records, Nesmith famously rejected “Sugar, Sugar” — a bubblegum pop song as basic as it gets, brought to them by producer Don Kirshner.

More than 100 Democrats in the House and Senate and independent Bernie Sanders have signed a letter urging the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to negotiate a fair contract with IATSE, saying, “We are united in our belief in the importance of livable wages, sustainable benefits, and reasonable rest periods between shifts and during the workday” – three of the union’s core demands.
The letter was signed by 31 senators and 87 representatives and sent to AMPTP president Carol Lombardini.
The union’s members begin voting on strike authorization Friday in advance of what could be the last round of bargaining before a strike that would shut down film and TV productions across the country.
The politicians also reminded Lombardini that industry workers “risked their health and safety” during the pandemic, and that “the entertainment you jointly produce is helping to heal our nation.”
Here is their letter:

“Every day we’re on the ground is another day that we know Isis-K seeking to target the airport and attack both U.S. and allied forces and innocent civilians,” President Joe Biden said Tuesday from the White House, throwing new urgency and specter into the American withdrawal from now Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.
Calling Isis-k the foe of the Taliban as much as America, and sending many pundits prattling in a new chorus, Biden seemed to be working out a new rationale in real time for sticking to his decision to exit America’s longest war.
“We are currently on pace to finish by August the 31st,” Biden said in a 12-minute speech as both the State Department and Pentagon canceled their respective afternoon briefings. “The sooner we finish, the better. Each day of operations brings added risk to our troops.”

Right now, in your neighborhood, there’s a restaurant on the verge of closing. In fact, there’s probably more than one that’s already closed. Maybe it’s a restaurant like those we went to in New Jersey or the D.C. suburbs that brought us closer to our Korean roots. Maybe it’s a diner you hung out at after school, or the place you went on a first date.

Washington — Andy Kim had finally seen enough.
Until Tuesday, the freshman congressman from New Jersey’s 3rd district had kept a wary distance from the debate over whether to impeach President Trump. Kim, who is 37, won his South Jersey district by a few thousand votes in 2018, ousting a Republican incumbent and helping Democrats regain the majority in the House of Representatives. The Democratic Party has named him one of its so-called frontline members who are running for reelection in tough districts and whose campaigns will get extra help from the party.
