J Street to Democrats: Back Resolution Supporting Gaza War or Lose Endorsement

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:53:29 GMT

On Tuesday, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Ranking Member Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., introduced a resolution pledging Congress would stand “with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists.” Nearly every member of Congress announced their support for the resolution — with the exception of 13 Democrats.The resolution, however, does not mention Palestinian civilians, who face an ongoing siege of medieval proportions — with Israeli forces cutting off access to food, water, and electricity — and calls for further restricting and scrutinizing imports because of Hamas’s use of bulldozers and other rudimentary equipment to break down the border fence with Israel. The lack of any attempt in the resolution to urge Israel to avoid civilian casualties, as the Palestinian territory stares down an apocalyptic and ongoing massacre, has led to a small pocket of resistance to the resolution among a handful of ...

Why it’s cheaper to repair your appliances instead of buying new ones

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:53:29 GMT

You may be in the market for new appliances. But experts said if they’re in good working order, why spend the money?They said you should try to repair them first.“The reason is … most appliances, if it’s a small problem, can be fixed for less than $200,” said Kevin Brasler, executive editor of Consumers’ Checkbook.He added that repairing an appliance could save you money in the long run.“Usually, most homeowners — we’re happy with what we have. It works well for us. We’re happy with the features.” Brasler said. “And most importantly, if the unit’s been reliable already for five to eight years or more, there’s no reason to think that it won’t continue to work reliably for many more years to come.”Brasler added that new appliances come with a hefty price tag.“I mean, new refrigerators often cost more than $2,000,” he said.But what if you discover those appliances are beyond repair?...
