WASHINGTON — Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Defense Department, said he had a “wonderful conversation” with Maine Sen. Susan Collins on Wednesday as he pushed to win enough votes for confirmation. He said he will not back down after allegations of excessive drinking and sexual misconduct. Collins said after the hourlong meeting that she questioned Hegseth about the allegations amid reports of drinking and the revelation that he made a settlement payment after being accused of a sexual assault that he denies. She said she had a “good, substantive” discussion with Hegseth and “covered a wide range of topics,” including sexual assault in the military, Ukraine and NATO. But she said she would wait until a hearing, and notably a background check, to make a decision. “I asked virtually every question under the sun,” Collins told reporters as she left her office after the meeting. "I pressed him both on his position on military issues as well as the allegations against him, so I don’t think there was anything that we did not cover.” The meeting with Collins was closely watched as she is seen as more likely than most of her Republican Senate colleagues to vote against some of Trump’s Cabinet picks. She and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a fellow moderate Republican, did not shy from opposing Trump in his first term when they wanted to do so and sometimes supported President Joe Biden’s nominees for the judicial and executive branches. And Hegseth, an infantry combat veteran and former “Fox & Friends” weekend host, is working to gain as many votes as he can as some senators have expressed concerns about his personal history and lack of management experience. “I’m certainly not going to assume anything about where the senator stands,” Hegseth said as he left Collins’ office. “This is a process that we respect and appreciate. And we hope, in time, overall, when we get through that committee and to the floor that we can earn her support.” Hegseth met with Murkowski on Tuesday. He has also been meeting repeatedly with Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, a military veteran who has said she is a survivor of sexual assault and has spent time in the Senate working on improving how attacks are reported and prosecuted within the ranks. On Monday, Ernst said after a meeting with him that he had committed to selecting a senior official to prioritize those goals. Republicans will have a 53-49 majority next year, meaning Trump cannot lose more than three votes on any of his nominees. It is so far unclear whether Hegseth will have enough support, but Trump has stepped up his pressure on senators in the last week. “Pete is a WINNER, and there is nothing that can be done to change that!!!” Trump posted on his social media platform last week. On Thursday, Hegseth plans to meet with a Democrat — Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman. Fetterman confirmed the meeting to The Associated Press but did not say whether he was considering supporting Hegseth or what he planned to discuss.moana magical ocean 。

General Motors (GM) has announced layoffs affecting about 1,000 employees worldwide. The move is part of GM's effort to trim costs and tighten up operations as it tries to navigate tough economic challenges. According to the Detroit Free Press, 507 affected people worked at the Global Technical Center in Warren, Michigan – a hub for GM's innovation and tech development. Spokesperson Kevin Kelly said in a statement to Detroit Free Press that the layoffs are part of GM's plan to streamline operations and move faster toward their goals.

Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – Last Chance to get 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share! A big part of GM's focus right now is on electric vehicles (EVs), but they've hit a few bumps in the road. Cox Automotive reported that EV sales in the U.S. made up 8.9% of all vehicle sales in Q3 2024. Regarding market share, GM holds 9.8%, a far cry from Tesla's commanding 48.2%. To keep things in check, GM has scaled back its 2024 EV production goals from 300,000 units to somewhere between 200,000 and 250,000 units. CFO Paul Jacobson explained during a Deutsche Bank investor event that this will help them avoid overproduction and keep inventory balanced with demand. There's also the potential loss of federal EV tax incentives, which doesn't make things easier. The $7,500 tax credit from the Inflation Reduction Act, aimed at boosting EV sales, might be rolled back under proposed Republican tax reforms. Reuters noted this could put the U.S. even further behind countries like China, where EVs make up 47.9% of sales. Despite potential challenges for automakers like GM, Ford, Rivian and even Tesla, CEO Elon Musk supports the move.

During Tesla’s Q2 2024 earnings call, Musk told Wells Fargo equity analyst Colin Langan he isn't concerned about an IRA cut’s impact. He believes Tesla's strength lies beyond EVs. “There might be some impact, but it would devastate competitors and only slightly affect Tesla,” Musk said. “Long term, it likely benefits Tesla. The value of Tesla overwhelmingly is autonomy.” He added, “If you don't believe Tesla will solve autonomy, sell the stock. If you do, buy it. Everything else is just noise.” Despite these challenges, GM is showing it's not all bad news. The company's Q3 2024 profits were up 10.5% from last year. According to the Detroit Free Press, Paul Jacobson credited part of this success to cost-cutting efforts and capital investments during the earnings call. During an interview with CNBC, Mary Barra, GM’s CEO, confidently claimed in 2021 that GM would surpass Tesla in the U.S. EV sales by 2025. Highlighting GM’s innovation, she stated customers are “wowed” by their vehicles and emphasized the company's commitment to achieving the No. 1 market share in electric vehicles through consistent progress and rollouts.

Many new businesses were participating this year, including Limerick Candles & Vintage Reads, 1108 Iowa St., a store mainly selling used books and candles, which opened in September. "(One of our goals is) to get our name out," said owner Angie Ma. "A lot of people still don’t know our name." Ma said Dubuquers should shop at businesses owned by Dubuquers, like hers. Deals at Limerick Candles & Vintage Reads included five free wax melts after the purchase of two candles, as well as a free book after the purchase of three others. Also available at Ma's store and many others is a free craft beer, courtesy of Dubuque Main Street, one of many ways the organization and the city worked to encourage shoppers to participate in Small Business Saturday. Parking downtown at metered spaces and city-owned ramps and lots is free this holiday weekend, although Saturday's shoppers did not need to worry about finding a spot. The Holidazzle trolley loop, hosted by Dubuque Main Street from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, stops at six popular shopping areas in the heart of Dubuque. Waiting for the trolley at Cable Car Square on Saturday afternoon, after stopping at a couple shops in the area, were Jill Keck, of Dubuque, and her mother, Linda Way, who was visiting from Rockford, Ill. Way said she was happy to be enjoying a day in downtown Dubuque. "I love to come down here all the time," she said. "I really like Dubuque." As the owner of local yard sign company Grassy Greetings, Keck said she understands the importance of supporting local businesses. "As a small business owner myself, I think it’s important ... to support other families and businesses," she said. "Everyone's always so friendly down here. It’s good to go in and look and see what’s new.” For the rest of the afternoon, Keck and Way were going to check out stores in other parts of town. "We're just going to get on the trolley and see where it takes us," Way said. A couple blocks away, McCoy Jeweler, 261 Main St., was offering 20% off all in stock jewelry. “We believe Small Business Saturday is obviously a very very important day not just for us but the entire community," said store manager Samantha Swift. "We really wanted to give an incentive that is hard to ignore.” Swift said shopping at a local jewelry store had many benefits over national chains. "There’s a chance the person you’re speaking to isn’t handling your order (at large chains)," she said. "When you come into our store and work with me, you’ll probably work me with continuously... We build a relationship with our clients." In the Millwork District, businesses like clothing store The Midwest Girl, 898 Jackson St. Suite 2, were offering their own incentives. Owner Marissa Hoffmann said shoppers at The Midwest Girl could get a free pair of socks with a $75 purchase and a gift with all purchases. “We have something for everyone who’s proud of their Midwest roots," Hoffmann said of her store's selection. "We are our own brand." Hoffmann said Small Business Saturday was not about getting the best deals but about supporting the community and its small business owners. She encouraged Dubuquers to go to local stores, see what they have to offer and talk to the owners even if they did not plan on buying anything. “That’s always the goal, really -- being community focused," she said. "It’s not so much about the sales and discounts today (but) really just encouraging people to throw on their coats and go downtown."
