Biden backs Keisha Lance Bottoms for Georgia governor in his first endorsement since leaving office

Bottoms, the former mayor of Atlanta, served as a senior adviser in the Biden administration.

A split composite of Joe Biden and Keisha Lance Bottoms.

Former President Joe Biden on Friday backed former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms' campaign for governor in Georgia, his first endorsement since leaving office last year.

"I've known her for a long time, and she's something special," Biden said in a video backing the former mayor, who served as a senior adviser in the Biden administration.

Biden added in the video that the "same qualities that made her a great mayor made her invaluable to our administration." He called Bottoms "smart" and "focused" and said she "gets things done."

"Georgia, she's ready. She's been ready," said the former president, who included Bottoms on a short list of potential vice presidential running mates in 2020.

Bottoms is running in a crowded Democratic primary field, which also includes former Georgia state Sen. Jason Esteves, former state labor commissioner and DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond and former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, who served as a Republican but later switched parties.

Bottoms has held a lead in public polling in the race, but it's unclear whether she'll garner more than 50% of the vote and avoid a runoff after the May 19 primary.

Whoever wins the Democratic primary nomination will go on to face the eventual GOP gubernatorial nominee.

Georgia, a battleground state in federal elections, skews more Republican statewide and hasn't elected a Democrat to be governor since 1999, when former Gov. Roy Barnes won and served until 2003.

In 2018, Democrat Stacey Abrams came within less than two percentage points of winning the Georgia gubernatorial contest against Brian Kemp, who is now governor. Kemp beat her again in a 2022 rematch election by more than seven percentage points.

The Republican primary field is also crowded and unlikely to avoid a runoff. Businessman Rick Jackson and Lt. Gov. Burt Jones currently lead the race in public polling, but Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and state attorney general Chris Carr are also running. Kemp is term-limited.

Tennessee drops ‘pride’ from June and renames its ‘Nuclear Family Month’ sparking outrage from LGBT community

Tennessee Republicans tried — and failed — to pass a measure that would ban the use of Pride flags inside government buildings

Graig Graziosi 15 April 2026 13:03 EDT

Tennessee will now recognize June as "Nuclear Family Month," a move some critics claim is less about family and more about diminishing the LGBTQ community during Pride Month.

The state’s governor, Bill Lee, signed a resolution on April 9, introducing the new holiday just two days after the state's Republican-controlled legislature advanced it through the statehouse. June is also when Pride Month, which celebrates LGBTQ-identifying individuals, is observed.

The resolution’s language includes a definition of the nuclear family as "one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children," and claims that it is “God’s design for familial structure” and “God’s perfect design for humanity," according to The Advocate.

It also includes several statistics warning about the problems with "fatherless homes.” It also condemns the “humanistic, globalist ideologies of the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and like-minded organizations that fight for population control.”…

Oil prices fall after Iran sends updated peace proposal to mediators in Pakistan

PUBLISHED THU, APR 30 202610:35 PM EDTUPDATED 2

KEY POINTS

• Iran has sent an updated peace proposal to mediators in Pakistan, officials told MS Now.

• President Donald Trump faces a 60-day congressional deadline for the Iran war.

• The Trump administration argued that a ceasefire reached three weeks ago had “terminated” hostilities between the two sides.

Oil prices fell Friday after Iran sent an updated peace prososal to mediators in Pakistan, raising hopes again that a settlement with the U.S. is still possible.

U.S. crude

oil futures fell nearly 5% to $100.03 per barrel by 10:23 a.m. ET. International benchmark Brent

lost nearly 3% to $107.14.

Pakistani officials confirmed to MS Now that mediators received an updated proposal from Iran to end the war. The proposal has been delivered to the U.S., the officials said.

U.S. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, faces a 60-day deadline under the War Powers Resolution related to military action in the Iran war.

Under the 1973 law, a president must withdraw troops within 60 days of notifying Congress of their deployment, unless lawmakers authorize the military action. Congress has not done so.

The Trump administration argued on Friday that a ceasefire reached three weeks ago had “terminated” hostilities between the two sides, according to MS Now. This would allow the White House to avoid seeking Congressional approval for the war.

An administration official said that the absence of direct fire between U.S. forces and Iran since a ceasefire was first agreed to on April 7 means the 60-day clock no longer applies.

“For War Powers Resolution purposes, the hostilities that began on Saturday, February 28, have terminated,” an administration official told MS Now.

The argument was first raised by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during his hearingbefore the House Armed Services Committee earlier Thursday, where he said the ceasefire effectively paused the war.

Civil liberties group denounces UCLA Law administrator’s email

A civil liberties group told UCLA on Monday that the universityshould not stop a conservative student group from identifying demonstrators who protested a United States Department of Homeland Securitylawyer’s campus event.

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression – which advocates for free speech on college campuses –condemned an email sent by Bayrex Martí, the assistant dean for student affairs at the UCLA School of Law, which encouraged the UCLA Federalist Society, a conservative legal organization, to not publicize protesters’ identities. About 50 people disrupted an event hosted by the Federalist Society that featured DHS general counsel James Percival on April 21.

Martí added in the email, obtained by the Daily Bruin,that the Federalist Society could face disciplinary action for identifying protesters.

Videos of the demonstrators have amassed nearly two million views on X. Some users have replied to the videos – originally posted by UCLA Law alumnus Yitzchok “Yitzy” Frankel –asking for the protesters to be identified. FIRE alleged in its letter that Martí’s email raises free speech concerns, adding that no one in the video had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

“As is abundantly clear from the posted videos, the event was held in a large university lecture hall with a large audience of students and faculty present,any of whom could report publicly what occurred in the room,” FIRE program counsel Jessie Appleby said in an April 27 letter to Waterstone.

Martí said in a Wednesday email to Weinberg – after FIRE published its letter –that his original email was unclear, adding that sharing the names of students would not violate UCLA’s Student Conduct Code.

“It was not my intent to issue a warning,” Martí said in the email obtained by the Daily Bruin. “I only meant to flag that if those students were later targeted or subjected to misconduct, they might respond to that conduct. I wasn’t suggesting that protected speech should be restricted because of how others might react.”

FIRE urged the university to send a response to the letter by Wednesday to affirm that the Federalist Society’s UCLA chapter and its members would not face any disciplinary action. UCLA did not immediately respond to questions about if it had responded to FIRE’s letter.

Throughout the hour-long event – at which Percival only answered prescreened questions – protesters yelled, booed and held up posters that said “Stop caging children” and “Stop killing people.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement – an agency within DHS – arrested 300% more people between December 2025 and January 2026 than during the same period the year prior as part of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign, according to the American Immigration Council. Two-thirds of the December 2025 arrests were of people with no criminal record, according to data compiled by the council.

The number of beds holding ICE detainees increased from a daily average of 13,000 in late 2024 to more than 43,000 in a one-month period in 2025, according to the Deportation Data Project – a collaborative led by researchers from UCLA and UC Berkeley that uses both public data and information obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests. ICE has not updated its public Enforcement and Removal Operations database since January 2025.

Protesters walked out of Percival’s talk after 45 minutes, when the event’s moderator said there would be no live Q&A.More than 150 demonstrators then gathered in Shapiro Courtyard to condemn Percival and ICE.

A UCLA School of Law spokesperson said in an emailed statement thatthe school regrets any lack of clarity in Martí’s email. UCLA is committed to upholding the First Amendment, the spokesperson added in the statement.

“UCLA School of Law also encourages students to engage one another with respect and care,” the spokesperson said in the statement.

Percival said in a Fox News interview April 23 that he had anticipated a hostile reaction to the event but went through with the talk out of a feeling of obligation to conservative students. He added that UCLA failed to maintain decorum during the event, which he said was intended to promote the free exchange of ideas.

Percival declined the Daily Bruin’s request for an interview at the event.

“I was once a conservative student on a liberal campus, and whenever the conservatives came to speak, I always valued that very much,” Percival said in the Fox News interview. “It was just unfortunate that those students were deprived of that opportunity.”
