The individual who carried out a loud, steam >affair with an Obama federal judge has been unmasked as a prominent Atlanta policeman, causing the scandal to take another turn for the worse.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a special committee for the Eleventh Circuit discovered that a judge nominated by former President Barack Obama carried out a two-year sexual affair in her “chambers and during business hours” with a police commander.

According to Bloomberg Law, the incidents all occurred within “earshot” of law clerks.

On Thursday, Bloomberg Law identified the judge as Eleanor Ross of the Northern District of Georgia. She is married to a DeKalb County judge and former prosecutor.

Ross was also found by the committee to have attended a partisan political event hosted by a district attorney’s campaign and to have lied to judges investigating her conduct.

Now, Bloomberg Law has identified the person who carried out this graphic affair with the Obama judge: 55-year-old Kelley Collier, a deputy chief in the Atlanta Police Department (APD).

Collier has worked for the APD since 1998.

More from Bloomberg Law:

The officer was identified by the person familiar with the situation as Atlanta Police Department Deputy Chief Kelley Collier, who commands the department’s community services division, according to the department’s website.

The report said the officer had worked for the police department since 1998, serving as the “commander of a certain division” since 2025.

Those years align with Collier’s biography on the police department’s website and his now-deleted LinkedIn profile.

The APD said on Thursday that it is now investigating Collier.

“The Atlanta Police Department has launched an investigation to determine if the person mentioned in the Committee on Judicial Conduct and Disability of the Judicial Conference of the United States is indeed an employee of the Atlanta Police Department,” the department announced on its website.

Despite the taxpayer-funded scandal, neither Collier nor Ross has resigned to date.

Nithya Raman is a member of the Los Angeles city council who is running for mayor on the far left. She wants to be the Zohran Mamdani of LA.

That’s not even an exaggeration, by the way. She has the same political philosophy as Mamdani, is supported by all the same types of people, and like Mamdani, she was born outside of the United States but feels completely entitled to run one of our biggest cities.

Recently, some activists set up a homeless encampment outside of her house. They were trying to make a point about her support for occupy-style tent encampments. She had the nerve to be offended by this.

The New York Post reports:

Brutal karma for Nithya Raman as she goes ballistic over staged homeless encampment outside her home

Socialist LA mayoral candidate Nithya Raman is getting hammered online after appearing visibly rattled by a staged homeless encampment protest outside her own home.

“I’m glad my kids didn’t have to see that,” Raman told comedian Adam Conover on his podcast released Wednesday before adding, “I thought this campaign was going to be about bike lanes and transportation.”

Raman was referring to a staged Memorial Day protest outside Raman’s Silver Lake-area home.

Footage from the stunt shows homeless people climbing out of tents, staging an open-air barbecue and one individual walking around carrying a bucket as neighbors recorded the scene.

The podcast was quickly shared on online with comment exploding because Raman has spent years defending homeless encampments near schools, parks and neighborhoods across Los Angeles while opposing tougher enforcement restrictions.

Critics immediately accused the Democratic Socialist councilmember of showing a stunning lack of self-awareness as families across Los Angeles continue dealing with encampments outside homes, playgrounds and schools.

Here’s the clip. The video is a little wonky but stay with it:

When it’s her own kids, Nithya Raman suddenly cares where homeless encampments are set up.

But when it’s your kids near schools and parks? She votes to keep the tents there. pic.twitter.com/l3vba2byws

A few weeks back, Raman was booed by her own constituents for thinking that homeless camps near schools aren’t that big of a deal. Watch:

If this woman becomes mayor of Los Angeles, the city would be in even worse shape than it is now, and that’s saying something.

James Talarico, the Democrat freak who’s running for U.S. Senate in Texas and loves trans kids, claims that lots of Republicans are secretly supporting his campaign. Uh huh. Sure they are.

This is the sort of desperate, utter baloney that is usually reserved for later in the campaign cycle. Remember White Dudes for Kamala Harris? How did that work out?

Talarico’s act is already wearing thin. He basically uses Christianity to support far left ideas. In case you haven’t noticed, the only time he ever brings up his faith or his religious beliefs is to defend something the radical left believes.

This bit about Republican voters secretly supporting him is simply not believable.

Talarico: GOP voters ‘whisper’ support for him ‘like they’re in … witness protection’https://t.co/JmIXLmBe09

From The Hill:

Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) said Tuesday that his campaign for Senate is attracting some support from previous President Trump voters who are becoming more disillusioned with the president’s policies, saying they whisper to him at rallies “like they’re in the witness protection program.”

Talarico argued during an interview on MS NOW that Trump has done “the exact opposite” of what he promised in 2024, pointing to the administration’s initial reluctance to release the Jeffrey Epstein files and the conflict in Iran, among other issues.

“A lot of the president’s supporters in Texas are feeling disillusioned, they’re feeling disillusioned with this extremism and this corruption that is embodied by politicians like Ken Paxton,” Talarico said. “And so, we have a real opportunity to build a big coalition of Democrats, independents and Republicans who are fed up with this extremism and this corruption.”

Talarico is facing embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the November midterms, after Paxton — with a final-hour endorsement from Trump — crushed incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in the Republican primary runoff Tuesday.

Even if a Trump supporter was disillusioned with Trump, they’re not going to turn around a suddenly support a far left candidate like Talarico.

No one shifts that hard from one side to the other. People on Twitter/X are calling it out.

For the first time in nearly two decades, the Columbus Fountain in front of Washington, DC’s Union Station is flowing thanks to the Trump Administration’s efforts to beautify the Capital. 

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy also announced during a ceremony at Columbus Circle that the Department of Transportation is giving a $465 million grant to rejuvenate the train station.

“It’s going to fast track critical structural repairs to this building, things like a roof,” Duffy announced, adding that it will be used to “fix the roof, enhance the passenger concourses, the Amtrak lounge, and the ticketing experience.”

“We’re going to maximize the station’s revenue potential with retail, with parking, with office spaces, with digital signage, and a lot more. We’re going to improve security, and we’re going to invest in family-friendly infrastructure,” he added.

WATCH:

In our effort to follow the President’s call to make DC beautiful and great again, we are announcing that we are giving a grant from DOT to Union Station for $465 million. It’s going to fast track critical structural repairs to this building, things like a roof. We can’t have leaks in our Union Station roof, so we’re going to fix the roof, enhance the passenger concourses, the Amtrak lounge, and the ticketing experience. We’re going to maximize the station’s revenue potential with retail, with parking, with office spaces, with digital signage, and a lot more. We’re going to improve security, and we’re going to invest in family-friendly infrastructure.

The beautiful fountain is replacing the tarnished, homelessness-infested dump that had been there for years.

ABC 7 reports,

The 15-feet tall monument at the center of the fountain was erected and dedicated in 1912 and commemorates Christopher Columbus’ 1492 voyage.

According to D.C. Historic Sites, the fountain stopped working in 2007 and was never repaired until now.

The work was complete thanks to President Donald Trump’s executive order on “Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful.”

The Columbus Fountain is just one of many historic landmarks brought back to life under the initiative. On May 18, water started flowing again at the Cascading Fountain in Meridian Hill Park after it was nonfunctional for seven years.

As the Los Angeles mayoral primary approaches, actor Dennis Quaid threw his support behind Republican candidate Spencer Pratt over incumbent Democrat Karen Bass, calling it an obvious choice.

Quaid, 72, is known for headlining a variety of popular films, including the 2024 biopic “Reagan.”

When asked why he was endorsing Pratt during an interview with Fox News Digital published on Wednesday, he replied, “Why? What are you talking about? Why? Just look around, man.”

This was likely a reference to the many issues facing the city, including homelessness, crime, budget shortfalls, and the local government’s handling of the 2025 LA wildfires.

The actor also reportedly said, “Go Spencer Pratt,” at the 2nd Annual Military & Veteran Entertainment Awards Gala Saturday.

Pratt, a former reality television star and businessman, has been highly critical of the political leadership in Los Angeles.

His campaign website states that “the devastating 2025 Palisades fires that destroyed his family home” caused Pratt to jump into the fray and run against Bass.

The site also includes a statement from Pratt, which reads: “I’m not a politician. I’m a husband and father who watched my home burn because the system failed us. We don’t need more government programs. We need common sense, accountability, and a Mayor that shows up for everyone.”

Quaid and Pratt have been highly critical of Mayor Bass, especially for leaving the country during the dangerous windstorms that preceded and intensified the wildfires.

In addition to Quaid, Pratt has gotten endorsements from other conservative and libertarian figures like Joe Rogan, James Woods, and Adam Carolla.

Bass, meanwhile, touted her own celebrity endorsement from actor Samuel L. Jackson with a post Thursday on her X account.

“Honored to have the endorsement of my dear friend, @SamuelLJackson,” she wrote. “Sam has always shown up for the people and causes he believes in – and I am grateful he is showing up for Los Angeles. We’re aligned on the change I’m working to bring to L.A.”

Bass added, “That means getting more people off the streets into housing and connected with comprehensive services. It means more affordable housing units being built. And it means continuing to lower crime down to historic lows.”

Honored to have the endorsement of my dear friend, @SamuelLJackson

Sam has always shown up for the people and causes he believes in – and I am grateful he is showing up for Los Angeles.

We’re aligned on the change I’m working to bring to L.A. That means getting more people… pic.twitter.com/OdwUVuDzhv

— Karen Bass (@KarenBassLA) May 26, 2026

Jackson said Bass was someone who “will go in the streets and gather the people together, not someone who will divide them.”

President Donald Trump has frequently butted heads with Bass over immigration and other political issues. He expressed support for Pratt earlier this month.

“I’d like to see him do well, he’s a character,” Trump said, according to Los Angeles Magazine.

“I assume he probably supports me,” the president added. “I hear he does. I heard he’s a big MAGA person. He’s doing well.”

Pratt is a registered Republican, but will be running as an independent.

CNBC reported on Pratt’s recent surge in the polls, citing a UC Berkeley-Los Angeles Times survey that has him at 22 percent among likely voters. That puts him just behind Bass at 26 percent. City Councilmember Nithya Raman garnered 25 percent.

The poll also revealed that Pratt and Raman have gained eight percentage points since March, making the race a toss-up.
