OAKLAND — The race to be Oakland’s next mayor may have officially kicked off Monday, but the starting line is eerily quiet — and may continue to be until Rep. Barbara Lee about whether to run. Lee, the longtime East Bay congresswoman and stalwart of progressive politics, said late last week in a social media post that she will announce her decision in early January, noting the decision was “not one I take lightly.” In the meantime, Lee has held numerous private meetings with city officials about the issues affecting Oakland, from the ongoing budget crisis to homelessness to policing, two sources with direct knowledge of those conversations told this news organization. The policy “deep dive,” as a source not authorized to speak publicly put it, might offer reassurance to skeptics who worry that the retiring legislator, who has represented Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley and San Leandro in Congress since 1998, would struggle to adapt to running a city full-time. But the larger consequence of Lee’s decision-making timeline is that the run-up to the April 15 special election to has largely stalled. Most candidates are holding off until Lee makes a move. Hours after the formal start on Monday of the candidate filing period, which lasts until Jan. 17, only two people had scheduled appointments to pull papers for the office — and , a pair of fringe prospects who are unlikely to make a dent in the race. Loren Taylor, the runner-up in the 2022 mayoral election, said Monday he plans to pull papers in the coming days, noting in an interview that his desire to help Oakland grow as a city won’t be affected by whom he’s running against. But others, such as former Councilmember Ignacio De La Fuente and lobbyist Isaac Kos-Read, have said they’re holding off. “To be candid, I’m getting a little restless — but out of respect I have to wait,” De La Fuente said Monday in an interview. “Hopefully, she’ll make a decision soon.” An by numerous Oakland leaders urging Lee to run included sign-offs from City Council members Nikki Fortunato Bas, Treva Reid and Dan Kalb, as well as prospective candidate Kos-Read. The letter included signatures from both labor leaders and local political figures who otherwise have often clashed on issues like crime and public spending. “We need someone who can bring the new ideas, policies, resources and opportunities that the people of Oakland deserve,” the letter read. “That person is Barbara Lee.” There are other examples of weighty political races symbolically put on hold amid “will they, won’t they” tension involving potential candidates, including late in 1998. But the upcoming special election in Oakland is unique in how strongly some local leaders seem to be thinking past the election entirely in their overtures to Lee, said political expert Dan Schnur. “These communities and business and labor leaders aren’t begging her to run because they think she’s the only one who can win,” Schnur said. “They think she’s the only one who can govern.” The clearest sign of how many in the city view Lee — who has often weighed in on local affairs to or or — might be a billboard that popped up in recent weeks along Interstate 880 in East Oakland. “Thank You, Barbara Lee,” it reads, “for bringing over half a billion dollars of federal funds into Oakland in 2024!” The billboard, hoisted near the highway’s High Street exit, also links to a website, thankyoubarbaralee.com, which lists some of Lee’s accomplishments and includes a sign-up form “to add your name to our letter of gratitude!” Both the physical and digital ads were created by the East Oakland Youth Development Center. Selena Wilson, the nonprofit’s CEO, said the gesture had nothing to do with the upcoming special election and was solely intended to honor the congresswoman for her longtime support of the center. Nationally, Lee is perhaps best known for being the only member of Congress to oppose the use of military force following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Her entry into the race would bring a layer of gravitas to the top political office in Oakland, a city whose reputation took a hit after crime rose and the economy declined during the pandemic. But it may also bring back memories of the mayoral tenure of the late Rep. Ron Delllums, whose decorated legacy was hurt by the perception that he was an absentee leader during the Great Recession, or former Gov. Jerry Brown, whose time as mayor coincided with the infamous Riders police brutality scandal. Taylor, meanwhile, is steadfast about wanting to lead, an ambition that has not diminished in the two years by fewer than 700 ranked-choice votes. “I think the fact that the others are playing a game of political calculus,” he said, “is indicative of where their leadership commitment is and how confident they are in what they’re bringing to the table.”Trump is teasing US expansion into Panama, Greenland and Canada | CNN PoliticsThis major win comes as no surprise, given the company's stellar track record of delivering high-profile projects on time and within budget.

FC Barcelona will hold talks with Ansu Fati's entourage in January to determine the player's future solution. Ansu Fati, the young sensation who burst onto the scene at the Camp Nou last season, has been the subject of intense speculation regarding his future at Barcelona. The club's hierarchy, led by club president Joan Laporta, is keen to address the uncertainties surrounding the talented forward and ensure that his future is secured with the Blaugrana.Focused Energy, a fusion power startup, has signed an agreement to secure two of the world’s most powerful lasers, specifically designed for their critical role in nuclear fusion research. This strategic acquisition, made in partnership with leading laser manufacturer Amplitude, marks a significant step forward in Focused Energy’s mission to achieve inertial confinement fusion (ICF). The inertial confinement fusion technology offers a potential solution to the world’s growing energy needs with a limitless source of clean power. “These laser systems will serve as the technological foundation from which Focused Energy will build the modular laser arrays necessary for a fusion pilot plant capable of supplying clean energy to the grid,” said the startup in a press release. Focused Energy’s ICF uses high-power lasers Focused Energy’s inertial confinement fusion process utilizes many high-power lasers directed at a small fuel pellet. The lasers’ energy compresses the pellet, increasing its density and temperature to extreme levels. This triggers a fusion reaction, mirroring the process that occurs within the sun, and releases a substantial amount of energy. This method has already achieved a historic milestone by demonstrating net-positive fusion power in 2022, thanks to a breakthrough by the US’ National Ignition Facility (NIF). This net-positive power means the fusion reaction generates more energy than the lasers used to start it. However, the path to commercially viable fusion power still presents challenges that scientists and engineers are trying to overcome. Overcoming challenges in fusion power To address the challenges, Focused Energy is making an investment in laser technology. The two lasers they are acquiring from Amplitude are classified as kilo-joule class and are designed for high energy output and repetition rates. These characteristics are vital for conducting the experiments needed to advance fusion research, particularly for optimizing the compression of deuterium-tritium fuel pellets. “Under Focused Energy’s direct drive laser fusion approach, lasers compress and then ignite millimeter-scale deuterium/tritium fusion fuel targets,” explained the press release . The new lasers will enable Focused Energy to investigate the complexities of laser performance and fusion target design. A notable feature of these lasers is their ability to fire a laser pulse every 60 seconds. This allows for a rapid experimental process. Promise of fusion energy Focused Energy is constructing a new facility in the San Francisco Bay Area to house these lasers. This facility, expected to be operational within the next two years, will serve as a center for fusion research. “Once commercial fusion is reached, three soda cans worth of deuterium/tritium fusion fuel will be able to power a city the size of San Francisco for a day,” emphasized Fusion Energy. Focused Energy’s direct drive laser fusion approach is considered one of the most promising paths to achieving commercially viable fusion energy. Apart from Focused Energy, several other startups are working on developing a nuclear fusion reactor. One of them is MIT spin-off Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), which recently announced that it will build the world’s first grid-scale commercial fusion power plant in Virginia.
