Poll: Republicans reverse views on economy and election fraud after Trump’s win; much smaller shifts among DemocratsLynn Hershman Leeson Predicted Our Digital HellscapeTowson 64, Morgan St. 60
Father and son team Callum and Tim Harrison have made thousands by reselling old clothes on eBay and Depop. And 26-year-old Callum says he got into it after becoming 'bored' during the pandemic. But over the last four years he has slowly grown his business and has now enlisted the help of his dad, retired software salesman Tim, aged 60. Callum sources and buys clothing such as Carhartt jackets from wholesalers like Fleek - a vintage wholesale marketplace - for £35 and sells them on for £100. Callum only turned over a few thousand in his first two years as reseller but shot up to £35,000 in 2022 to 2023. Last year he turned over £22,000 as he was working less while travelling and in the last three months he has made £16,000 on Depop alone. Callum said: "It's definitely brought us closer together. I think my parents were a bit apprehensive at first but then they saw a football shirt selling for £80. My record week of sales was 3,000 one week. Anything I get I reinvest." Callum has always been passionate about business and started looking into reselling in late 2020 while in his final year at University of Newcastle studying business and marketing. He said: "I knew a friend who works at a vintage wholesaler. I've always sold on Depop since I was 16." To start with Callum used reselling as a side hustle for some extra cash but gradually started to see it take off - getting £1,000 in sales in one week by Christmas 2022. He decided to ask his dad to help out after using his well earned money to travel for a year. He left in March 2023 to travel around Hong Kong, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand before living in Australia for a year. Callum also spent five weeks in New Zealand and flew back to the UK via Japan in July 2024. Tim helped out mailing the orders and listing some of the items on social media while Callum was away and now still helps out. Callum said: "Last month it went crazy so I took him back on for sending out orders." Callum currently has around 4,000 to 5,000 items of clothing in stock which he keeps in his parents' garage, nan's garage and in a storage container. He finds his stock from wholesalers and sites such as Fleek - and buys brands such as Carhartt, North Face, Ralph Lauren and Patagonia to sell on. Callum said: "Carhartt jackets sell for £100. Wholesalers are a bit more savvy now but they try sell for around £40 to £50. I get them at £35. The cheaper work wear sells for £40 to £50. Ralph Lauren and North Face sells well on eBay. "I'll buy 300 shirts for £800 - £3 per month - but one might be worth £100." Callum also says the right football shirts can go for £80 - and he buys them for £10. He says it would need to be a memorable year - such as the Manchester United 1998 to 1999 season when they won the treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League. He said: "It's always trial and error." Callum sells mainly on Depop but also uses eBay, Vinted, and Tilt. He said: "Depop is trendier. Vinted is for household names - M&S would do really well. "eBay goes for anything. Tilt is good for getting rid of stock - I sell cheap bundles on there." Callum has found buying on Fleek has helped his sales shot up - and has earned £16,500 in the last three months alone from his Depop sales. He advises anyone starting out in reselling to look at what people are wearing to get an idea of what to buy and sell on. He said: "Go out there and see what people are wearing. Keep an eye on the market and see what is trending. Keep buying - a lot of the time I run at a loss. I have constantly got stock." Callum has now taken his reselling business full time - but does still pick up occasional agency work on the side. He loves the flexibility of working for himself but says he is often up late in the evenings working. Callum said: "I constantly have a flow of amazing clothes. I got a new Carhartt hoodie the other day. I constantly have amazing things to wear."

SISAK and JENNIFER PELTZ NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers urged a judge again Friday to throw out his hush money conviction, balking at the prosecution’s suggestion of preserving the verdict by treating the case the way some courts do when a defendant dies. They called the idea “absurd.” Related Articles National Politics | Trump wants to turn the clock on daylight saving time National Politics | Ruling by a conservative Supreme Court could help blue states resist Trump policies National Politics | A nonprofit leader, a social worker: Here are the stories of the people on Biden’s clemency list National Politics | Nancy Pelosi hospitalized after she ‘sustained an injury’ on official trip to Luxembourg National Politics | Veteran Daniel Penny, acquitted in NYC subway chokehold, will join Trump’s suite at football game The Manhattan district attorney’s office is asking Judge Juan M. Merchan to “pretend as if one of the assassination attempts against President Trump had been successful,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in a blistering 23-page response. In court papers made public Tuesday, District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office proposed an array of options for keeping the historic conviction on the books after Trump’s lawyers filed paperwork earlier this month asking for the case to be dismissed. They include freezing the case until Trump leaves office in 2029, agreeing that any future sentence won’t include jail time, or closing the case by noting he was convicted but that he wasn’t sentenced and his appeal wasn’t resolved because of presidential immunity. Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove reiterated Friday their position that the only acceptable option is overturning his conviction and dismissing his indictment, writing that anything less will interfere with the transition process and his ability to lead the country. The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment. It’s unclear how soon Merchan will decide. He could grant Trump’s request for dismissal, go with one of the prosecution’s suggestions, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court, or choose some other option. In their response Friday, Blanche and Bove ripped each of the prosecution’s suggestions. Halting the case until Trump leaves office would force the incoming president to govern while facing the “ongoing threat” that he’ll be sentenced to imprisonment, fines or other punishment as soon as his term ends, Blanche and Bove wrote. Trump, a Republican, takes office Jan. 20. “To be clear, President Trump will never deviate from the public interest in response to these thuggish tactics,” the defense lawyers wrote. “However, the threat itself is unconstitutional.” The prosecution’s suggestion that Merchan could mitigate those concerns by promising not to sentence Trump to jail time on presidential immunity grounds is also a non-starter, Blanche and Bove wrote. The immunity statute requires dropping the case, not merely limiting sentencing options, they argued. Blanche and Bove, both of whom Trump has tabbed for high-ranking Justice Department positions, expressed outrage at the prosecution’s novel suggestion that Merchan borrow from Alabama and other states and treat the case as if Trump had died. Blanche and Bove accused prosecutors of ignoring New York precedent and attempting to “fabricate” a solution “based on an extremely troubling and irresponsible analogy between President Trump” who survived assassination attempts in Pennsylvania in July and Florida in September “and a hypothetical dead defendant.” Such an option normally comes into play when a defendant dies after being convicted but before appeals are exhausted. It is unclear whether it is viable under New York law, but prosecutors suggested that Merchan could innovate in what’s already a unique case. “This remedy would prevent defendant from being burdened during his presidency by an ongoing criminal proceeding,” prosecutors wrote in their filing this week. But at the same time, it wouldn’t “precipitously discard” the “meaningful fact that defendant was indicted and found guilty by a jury of his peers.” Prosecutors acknowledged that “presidential immunity requires accommodation” during Trump’s impending return to the White House but argued that his election to a second term should not upend the jury’s verdict, which came when he was out of office. Longstanding Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution . Other world leaders don’t enjoy the same protection. For example, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on trial on corruption charges even as he leads that nation’s wars in Lebanon and Gaza . Trump has been fighting for months to reverse his May 30 conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records . Prosecutors said he fudged the documents to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier, which Trump denies. In their filing Friday, Trump’s lawyers citing a social media post in which Sen. John Fetterman used profane language to criticize Trump’s hush money prosecution. The Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that Trump deserved a pardon, comparing his case to that of President Joe Biden’s pardoned son Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun charges . “Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division,” Fetterman wrote Wednesday on Truth Social. Trump’s hush money conviction was in state court, meaning a presidential pardon — issued by Biden or himself when he takes office — would not apply to the case. Presidential pardons only apply to federal crimes. Since the election, special counsel Jack Smith has ended his two federal cases , which pertained to Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and allegations that he hoarded classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate. A separate state election interference case in Fulton County, Georgia, is largely on hold. Trump denies wrongdoing in all. Trump had been scheduled for sentencing in the hush money case in late November. But following Trump’s Nov. 5 election victory, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed the former and future president’s sentencing so the defense and prosecution could weigh in on the future of the case. Merchan also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. A dismissal would erase Trump’s conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence. Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office.
Aflac Incorporated to Webcast 2024 Financial Analysts BriefingDULUTH – On Fridays, Mary Murphy lunched. The longest-serving woman in the Minnesota House, retired just two years, routinely sat alongside other politicians and laborers at a downtown restaurant and talked shop — and listened. The weekly lunch dates, first initiated by the late Judge Gerald Heaney , a labor-lawyer turned federal appellate judge here who has a courthouse named for him, have been going on for decades. “People always like to hear her point of view, her history,” said longtime friend Beth McCuskey, vice president of the North East Area Labor Council, who in recent years drove Murphy to the casual get-togethers. “When Mary would have something to share, the table would listen.” Murphy died Wednesday, days after she had a stroke and a “second series of complications,” according to Speaker of the House Melissa Hortman , DFL-Brooklyn Park . Murphy was 85 and just two years removed from politics. The Democrat from Hermantown was elected to the state House of Representatives in 1977 — and she held onto the position through 2022. She also taught at the former Duluth Central High School for more than 30 years. “She was a wonderful state representative and human being,” Hortman wrote on social media. “So many people will miss her and remember her and her accomplishments fondly.” Murphy had been active in local DFL politics for more than a decade in June of 1976 when she first announced her intention to run for a spot in the Minnesota House, supporting parts of St. Louis and Carlton counties. At the time, she was also teaching social studies. Murphy was in her mid-30s when she won the seat. In more than 40 years of state government , she had a hand instituting early-childhood programs, helped establish Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College and initiated legislation to establish wind power in Minnesota. She won countless awards for her work as a teacher and in politics. Murphy also went to all community events, from Proctor’s Hoghead Festival to community parades to spaghetti dinners. “She showed up,” McCuskey said. One of Murphy’s successes in recent years was a $1.87 billion bonding bill to pay for hundreds of state infrastructure projects that passed in 2020. At the time, Murphy, who sponsored the bill and chaired the House Capital Investment Division, said they had heard from more than 250 communities and agencies looking for assistance. “I can’t imagine how many water treatment plants she visited,” said Jeff Anderson, who worked alongside Murphy on campaigns, during his time as a Duluth city councilor and as a lobbyist. “It’s a real hallmark of her time. She believed in investment in the state.” Murphy lost to Republican Natalie Zeleznikar in the 2022 general election by just 33 votes — but it wasn’t the end of her political interests. Anderson said she continued to follow the Legislature closely. She was one of the state’s 10 electors during the Electoral College Assembly just more than a week ago in St. Paul. State Sen. Grant Hauschild said Murphy was one of the first people he connected with when he moved to Hermantown. He found a leader focused on children and the future and someone he could learn from. “I think her legacy will be that compassionate approach to politics,” he said. “Focusing on people, focusing on labor. I think her biggest legacy will be kids and education.” McCuskey described her as “a great listener.” “When you had a conversation with her, you knew she was paying attention to you,” she said. “She was listening; she stored it.” Murphy lived in the home she grew up in, one of Hermantown’s signature Jackson Project homes built in the 1930s as sustainable properties. Much of her home’s interior resembled what it looked like when she was growing up, according to those close to her. She was especially proud of her flower gardens. Lee Cutler, of the North East Area Labor Council, remembered Murphy as a devout Catholic. “It’s fitting that she died on Christmas,” he said. A few years ago, Murphy took Cutler for an hourslong walk along the grounds of her home, where she mowed her own grass with a tractor. “She loved anything that grew, even weeds,” Cutler said. “Much to the chagrin of her gardening friends, she let the weeds grow.” Murphy famously lived most of her life with just a landline telephone. A little-known secret: In recent years she had gotten a cellphone. “I think only three people had the number,” Cutler said. Murphy attended Hermantown Public Schools and the College of St. Scholastica and did graduate work at the University of Minnesota Duluth, Macalester College, the University of Wisconsin-Superior, American University and Indiana University, according to a Minnesota Legislature biography. When it was her turn to lead a prayer, she read the book “Old Turtle,” a bestselling fable by Douglas Wood with art by Duluth artist Cheng-Kee Chee. The state’s political leaders took to social media to remember Murphy. U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar described her as being ahead of her time in “so many ways.” “She was a strong advocate and so often the only woman at the table in northern MN,” Klobuchar said on social media. On Facebook, Gov. Tim Walz described her as “a true champion for the Northland.” In a statement, Hermantown city officials lamented her loss. “Hermantown will always be Mary’s hometown, and her contributions to the community will always remain,” the statement said. The Friday lunches will go on, even without one of the group’s stalwarts. McCuskey said she feels fortunate for the time spent in the car alongside her friend. This week, Murphy’s signature order will go unrealized: a side salad with French and ranch dressing and just three croutons, no more, no less, according to Cutler.Will Foster Moreau Play in Week 13?

But the recent 14% decline in exports, is more than a statistic, it is a wakeup call. It signals a turning point where challenges, both temporary and permanent demand that we reimagine our approach.” Further he mentioned that, “We are at the start of revolution. Sustainability and technology, two forces reshaping industries worldwide are now at our doorstep. The rise of lab-grown diamonds, the demand for transparency and ethical practices, shifting consumer priorities and the digital wave are not just disrupting the status quo. They are creating a new blueprint necessary for success. This is therefore our moment to lead. The industries must think differently, act urgently and innovate courageously. Today’s inflection point must be turned into an era of unprecedented opportunity.” The GJEPC (Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council) was established by the India Gem and Jewellery Awards about 51 years to honour the leading exporters in the field of gems and jewellery. The selection criteria for the awards include some other parameters such as export performance, value importance, generation of employment and many more. Apart from felicitating the leading players in the gems and jewel industry, the GJEPC also recognises the other business excellence by the companies which helps in strengthening ‘Brand India’. The GJEPC doesn’t only felicitate business players but also gives recognition to banks and gold supply agencies that play a major role in the development of the sector.

But the recent 14% decline in exports, is more than a statistic, it is a wakeup call. It signals a turning point where challenges, both temporary and permanent demand that we reimagine our approach.” Further he mentioned that, “We are at the start of revolution. Sustainability and technology, two forces reshaping industries worldwide are now at our doorstep. The rise of lab-grown diamonds, the demand for transparency and ethical practices, shifting consumer priorities and the digital wave are not just disrupting the status quo. They are creating a new blueprint necessary for success. This is therefore our moment to lead. The industries must think differently, act urgently and innovate courageously. Today’s inflection point must be turned into an era of unprecedented opportunity.” The GJEPC (Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council) was established by the India Gem and Jewellery Awards about 51 years to honour the leading exporters in the field of gems and jewellery. The selection criteria for the awards include some other parameters such as export performance, value importance, generation of employment and many more. Apart from felicitating the leading players in the gems and jewel industry, the GJEPC also recognises the other business excellence by the companies which helps in strengthening ‘Brand India’. The GJEPC doesn’t only felicitate business players but also gives recognition to banks and gold supply agencies that play a major role in the development of the sector.
