[FOX] FIRST ON FOX: The beleaguered Obama Foundation has an income inequality problem: While half of its employees earn six-figure salaries, led by CEO Valerie Jarrett at $771,000, dozens at the other end of the scale are fighting for union representation.
The workplace disparity comes to light just as Fox News Digital reported that the long-delayed Obama Presidential Center's price tag hit $1 billion — nearly triple the original estimate for the Chicago facility. The Obama Foundation, former President Barack Obama's private nonprofit, reported 172 employees receiving more than $100,000 in salary in its 2025 tax filing — roughly half its 342 reported employees.
Jarrett, one of former President Barack Obama's closest advisors and a former senior White House official, has led the Obama Foundation since 2021, overseeing the final years of construction of the Presidential Center on Chicago's South Side.

[The Hill] President Donald Trump, who will rally for Rogers in Michigan later this month, has also attacked El-Sayed for his immigrant background. During remarks at a Rose Garden luncheon yesterday, the president said El-Sayed "is a Muslim Brotherhood guy, 100 percent." Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who was born in Michigan to Egyptian immigrant parents, has denied any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, which the U.S. earlier this year designated a terrorist organization.

Come see me when this unpleasantness is over money.

It might have been Instapundit; I read a story earlier today where they interviewed some black voters and El-Sayed is not making them want to vote for him. Also said Obama's influence is waning as they did not find his endorsement of El-Sayed to change their minds about probably voting for Rogers
