House votes to prevent a government shutdown as GOP Speaker Johnson relies on Democrats for help

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:04:41 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Tuesday to prevent a government shutdown after new Republican Speaker Mike Johnson was forced to reach across the aisle to Democrats when hard-right conservatives revolted against his plan.The bipartisan tally, 336-95, showed Johnson’s willingness to leave his right-flank Republicans behind and work with Democrats to temporarily keep government running — the same political move that cost the last House speaker, Kevin McCarthy, his job just weeks ago.This time, Johnson of Louisiana appeared on track for a temporarily better outcome as the House approved the stopgap package to keep the government running into the new year. The Senate would act next, ahead of Friday’s shutdown deadline.“Making sure that government stays in operation is a matter of conscience for all of us. We owe that to the American people,” Johnson said earlier Tuesday at a news conference at the Capitol.But the new Republican leader faced the same political problem that led to...

A 30-year-old Pompano Beach man was arrested and is facing charges after allegedly installing hidden cameras in the bathrooms of multiple YouFit gyms across South Florida. The investigation began in September when a hidden camera was discovered under the sink in the handicap stall of the men’s bathroom at the YouFit gym located at 4032 W Hillsboro Blvd in Deerfield Beach. “This is a very disturbing and despicable crime,” said BSO Spokesperson Carey Codd. “This individual is accused of surreptitiously placing hidden cameras inside men’s handicap bathroom stalls at fitness facility in Deerfield Beach.”Following the discovery, the gym’s regional manager instructed staff to check their facilities, leading to the detection of additional cameras in Boynton Beach, Davie and another Deerfield Beach location.

Police in Concord, New Hampshire are investigating after they said they found skimmers on credit card machines at checkout lanes in two separate stores last month. Concord police shared details about the case on Monday night. Weeks earlier, on Oct. 19, police said workers at the Walmart location on Loudon Road in town told authorities that a loss prevention associate had found a credit card skimmer attached to a self-checkout register. Police said a loss prevention associate at the Market Basket location on Storrs Street later reached out on Oct. 27, saying they had also found a skimmer on an express lane checkout.Concord police on Monday said investigators determined both skimmers were installed by the same two people on Oct. 17.  Asked how someone would get a skimmer onto a machine in a store with other people around, Concord Police Lt. Marc McGonagle responded.“I’m assuming they are practiced,” he told 7NEWS. “They work in a group and they pay attention a...

Fiscal ‘storm clouds’ growing over Massachusetts after lower than expected tax collections

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:04:41 GMT

Massachusetts is not “raining money” anymore, state lawmakers said Tuesday.The top Senate budget writer and the chamber’s ranking Republican painted a less than ideal fiscal picture for Massachusetts, airing during a debate concerns they had for the future health of the state’s finances after multiple months of lower than expected tax collections.Massachusetts has experienced four consecutive months of below benchmark revenue collections during the start of fiscal year 2024, said Senate Ways and Means Chair Michael Rodrigues, a Westport Democrat. That follows years of “very robust revenue collections,” he said.“Even though there are storm clouds on the horizon, it’s not bright and sunny, it’s not raining money as it has been over the last few years, we are still being responsible in addressing the long-term liabilities of the commonwealth,” Rodrigues said.The first two months of the fiscal year, July and August, saw revenue collections collectively $20 millio...

By STEVE KARNOWSKI (Associated Press)MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin is making another attempt to overturn his federal civil rights conviction in the 2020 murder of George Floyd, saying new evidence shows that he didn’t cause Floyd’s death.In a motion filed in federal court Monday, Chauvin said he never would have pleaded guilty to the charge in 2021 if he had known about the theories of a Kansas forensic pathologist with whom he began corresponding in February. Chauvin is asking the judge who presided over his trial to throw out his conviction and order a new trial, or at least an evidentiary hearing.Floyd, who was Black, died on May 25, 2020 after Chauvin, who is white, kneeled on his neck for 9 1/2 minutes on the street outside a convenience store where Floyd tried to pass a counterfeit $20 bill. A bystander video captured Floyd’s fading cries of “I can’t breathe.” Floyd’s death touched off protest...
