About 125,000 borrowers will benefit from the move, the latest that Biden has taken to expand student loan relief since the Supreme Court blocked his effort to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in student debt. "This kind of relief is life-changing for individuals and their families. But it's good for our economy as a whole as well," Biden said. The latest measures include $5.2 billion in relief to 53,000 people covered under Public Service Loan Forgiveness programs, and nearly $2.8 billion for 51,000 borrowers qualifying for "income-driven repayment" who have made 20 or more years of payments without "relief they were entitled to," the White House said. <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID%3DHdcHeb%252BeIxirYFVGNJIze81iHlElBrzJgPSChVtXPz%252BR7WTrP9rcRg037F9hT2oJ9InaWPtDnBKDMCOOw56vUGrN2jdPv&source=gmail&ust=1696700872870000&usg=AOvVaw3s2rN4QSjwvy4psOHuOeR-" href="https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=HdcHeb%2BeIxirYFVGNJIze81iHlElBrzJgPSChVtXPz%2BR7WTrP9rcRg037F9hT2oJ9InaWPtDnBKDMCOOw56vUGrN2jdPv" style="background-color: transparent;

Ethan Nordean received the sentence after previously being convicted of seditious conspiracy. The Justice Department wrote that Nordean had "participated in every consequential breach at the Capitol," resulting in violence, assaults on police and the destruction of property. His 18-year sentence matches that of Oath Keeper Stewart Rhodes, who was also convicted of seditious conspiracy. In addition to Nordean, a co-defendant, former Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola, was sentenced to 10 years behind bars. </span></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: em-dash, Acta, serif; font-size: 40px; font-variant-ligatures: none; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: em-dash, Acta, serif; font-size: 40px; font-variant-ligatures: none; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09858145297344199906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457670794662078453.post-9452868484340579752023-08-14T21:33:00.001-07:002023-08-14T21:33:28.755-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl6Q4_ZCbXv-SIFf_i78UaB8ejJcVqQls_dzniw7sSmjMKcJz0jp9ogmYH7PxHG2TicHcNCt7mn8joUNrCiDLlYhkD-Rw7tZBJ-QuRk4R5ok1VIu4y9VjHjd99jxKEFIH2DicX4gWKtczxUQew9YsEOKRwroxlJRmibLS4BJG1UMuZ9WjV7_w0CsVzKOA/s310/download.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="163" data-original-width="310" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl6Q4_ZCbXv-SIFf_i78UaB8ejJcVqQls_dzniw7sSmjMKcJz0jp9ogmYH7PxHG2TicHcNCt7mn8joUNrCiDLlYhkD-Rw7tZBJ-QuRk4R5ok1VIu4y9VjHjd99jxKEFIH2DicX4gWKtczxUQew9YsEOKRwroxlJRmibLS4BJG1UMuZ9WjV7_w0CsVzKOA/s1600/download.jpeg" width="310" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_8294131636819389958article-item-content" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; width: 593.984px;"><tbody><tr><td style="font-size: 27px; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px;"><a class="m_8294131636819389958article-headline" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID%3DC_%252BC9tkIHJPmywb2XndIta8yX2YGAX3J0afWpDTKT0vm__bmvAS2c7GFnRMG4aG5SbZLq6GifyvG6v34vtxOIuXkZgvC5&source=gmail&ust=1692160116182000&usg=AOvVaw0lzZIBn1ZFkCAO505zRNMJ" href="https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=C_%2BC9tkIHJPmywb2XndIta8yX2YGAX3J0afWpDTKT0vm__bmvAS2c7GFnRMG4aG5SbZLq6GifyvG6v34vtxOIuXkZgvC5" style="color: #121212; font-family: serif; line-height: 32px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Maui wildfire death toll rises as search for missing continues</a><br /><br /><br /><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="margin: 0px;"><span class="m_8294131636819389958article-body" style="color: #333333; font-family: serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px auto;"><p>The death toll from last week's wildfire that destroyed the historic seaside town of Lahaina, Hawaii, rose by three to 96 late Sunday.

Gov. Josh Green said over the weekend that the number of fatalities would "continue to rise. We want to brace people for that." Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Pacific Disaster Center maps showed that about 2,200 structures, 86% of which were homes, were damaged or destroyed in Lahaina, with total losses near $6 billion.</p></span></td></tr></tbody></table>leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09858145297344199906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457670794662078453.post-49419756765936747612023-08-13T10:15:00.002-07:002023-08-13T10:15:33.545-07:00<div class="bbc-1151pbn ebmt73l0" dir="ltr" style="background-color: #f6f6f6;

The U.S. Coast Guard said the mother ship lost contact with the submersible Sunday about an hour and 45 minutes into its dive to the Titanic wreckage, in water 13,000 feet deep. </p></span></td></tr></tbody></table>leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09858145297344199906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457670794662078453.post-62371602413384870942023-06-15T18:52:00.005-07:002023-06-15T18:52:59.797-07:00<div class="polaris__simple-grid--main" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; grid-column: 1 / 1; min-width: 0px; position: relative;"><h1 class="polaris__heading -content-title -speedreads" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: em-dash, Acta, serif; font-size: 40px; line-height: 40px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; word-break: break-word;"><a class="polaris__link polaris__heading--link hawk-link-parsed" href="https://theweek.com/2024-primaries/1024308/miami-mayor-francis-suarez-becomes-3rd-floridian-to-join-crowded-gop" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #3a3a3a; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">Miami Mayor Francis Suarez becomes 3rd Floridian to join crowded GOP presidential r</a>ace</h1><div class="polaris__post-meta -speedreads" style="align-items: flex-start; box-sizing: inherit; display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: flex-start; margin: 0px 0px 30px; text-transform: uppercase;"><div class="polaris__post-meta--meta" style="align-items: flex-start; box-sizing: inherit; display: flex; flex-direction: row; font-size: 12px; gap: 0px; grid-template-columns: 60px auto; grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr; justify-content: center; letter-spacing: 0.04em; margin-top: 0px;"><div class="polaris__post-meta--date" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #737373; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.04em; line-height: 1.1; margin-right: 18px; order: 1;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div class="polaris__simple-grid--main" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; grid-column: 1 / 1; min-width: 0px; position: relative;"><div class="polaris__primary-media -has-image-metadata -speedreads" style="box-sizing: inherit; float: left; margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px; width: 352px;"><div class="polaris__image--wrapper -space-reserved" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; position: relative;"><figure class="polaris__image--image" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px;"><div class="polaris__image--fixed-container" style="aspect-ratio: 16 / 9; box-sizing: inherit;"><img alt="Francis Suarez" class="polaris__image" height="250.1220703125" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 375px,(min-width: 768px) 352px,375px" src="https://mediacloud.theweek.com/image/upload/f_auto,t_primary-image-continuous-scroll-mobile@1/v1686801294/GettyImages-1497949161.jpg" srcset="https://mediacloud.theweek.com/image/upload/f_auto,t_primary-image-continuous-scroll-mobile@1/v1686801294/GettyImages-1497949161.jpg 375w,https://mediacloud.theweek.com/image/upload/f_auto,t_primary-image-continuous-scroll-desktop@1/v1686801294/GettyImages-1497949161.jpg 352w" style="border-style: none; box-sizing: inherit; display: block; height: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 351.992px;" width="375" /></div></figure><div class="polaris__image--meta" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><p class="polaris__image--credits" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #737373; display: inline-block; font-size: 12px; line-height: 12px; margin: 0px;">Joe Raedle/Getty Images</p></div></div></div><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: em-dash, Acta, serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Miami Mayor Francis Suarez (R) filed paperwork Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission to officially join the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Hundreds more people were missing and feared dead. The disaster could become one of Europe's deadliest maritime tragedies in years. A rescue-support charity said about 750 people were believed to be on the boat, estimated to be 65 to 100 feet long. Rescuers managed to pull at least 104 survivors out of the water. Military aircraft fired flares to illuminate the water to help crews search for more survivors overnight. The vessel reportedly left Libya with mostly refugees from Egypt, Syria, and Pakistan on board. </p></span></td></tr></tbody></table>leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09858145297344199906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457670794662078453.post-11769188934931269932023-06-15T18:43:00.002-07:002023-06-15T18:43:58.988-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8FZFV7zEFuaU1vdX3wp46b1_grXQcEz4NgE9Q-wqugXjzNffOtirl5tenKSBDjSFMp1AngXUs4gIy7zwUYRlOjSxkjUzui_HzBjDsETqiAesqfRWtKLe1nWcpvwk1UwxXTSCc0Md0PITAgSJFtNe2UtSCHDmxcR1Fh0UlP3-DkRTaFCb9MgY3yQUc/s300/download.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8FZFV7zEFuaU1vdX3wp46b1_grXQcEz4NgE9Q-wqugXjzNffOtirl5tenKSBDjSFMp1AngXUs4gIy7zwUYRlOjSxkjUzui_HzBjDsETqiAesqfRWtKLe1nWcpvwk1UwxXTSCc0Md0PITAgSJFtNe2UtSCHDmxcR1Fh0UlP3-DkRTaFCb9MgY3yQUc/s1600/download.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_-9132162630822232886article-item-content" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; width: 593.984px;"><tbody><tr><td style="font-size: 27px; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px;"> <a class="m_-9132162630822232886article-headline" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID%3DJbaJgs9v3MOkiKvH8lFBppVozp9RxqFVCdoaosuQf7U9LNyZQASDSy1wZ9IHrcULs3be4H8Qwr3nBF%252B525imRo7T9z0Bh&source=gmail&ust=1686966105652000&usg=AOvVaw3JO0vL5mH-Lkf39TN3PrCN" href="https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=JbaJgs9v3MOkiKvH8lFBppVozp9RxqFVCdoaosuQf7U9LNyZQASDSy1wZ9IHrcULs3be4H8Qwr3nBF%2B525imRo7T9z0Bh" style="color: #121212; font-family: serif; line-height: 32px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Trump raises $2 million after arraignment</a><br /><br /><br /><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="margin: 0px;"><span class="m_-9132162630822232886article-body" style="color: #333333; font-family: serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px auto;"><p>Former President Donald Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, raised $2 million from a "candlelight dinner" fundraiser with top donors at his Bedminster, New Jersey, resort Tuesday night, hours after his arraignment on federal criminal charges in a Miami courtroom.

On Friday, she told fans it's "not fair to you to keep postponing" her shows, so it's "best that we cancel everything now until I'm really ready to be back on stage again."</p></div>leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09858145297344199906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457670794662078453.post-45062364502718207522023-05-28T18:32:00.001-07:002023-05-28T18:32:52.963-07:00<p> </p><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_9053147965263060253article-item-content" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; width: 594.004px;"><tbody><tr><td style="font-size: 27px; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px;"> <a class="m_9053147965263060253article-headline" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID%3DiQRiQUjwsM8AB0UM81BGA3sFvtITijLSggb2HN9npCszdm_ybJ91rrDO1a1jNqyNgyHZYIeK4HbffKm0Q_lksca_DPcWp&source=gmail&ust=1685410124732000&usg=AOvVaw3ItMDGGWLRrrRq1MK0loFS" href="https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiQUjwsM8AB0UM81BGA3sFvtITijLSggb2HN9npCszdm_ybJ91rrDO1a1jNqyNgyHZYIeK4HbffKm0Q_lksca_DPcWp" style="color: #121212; font-family: serif; line-height: 32px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a class="m_9053147965263060253article-headline" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID%3DiQRiQUjwsM8AB0UM81BGA3sFvtITijLSggb2HN9npCszdm_ybJ91rrDO1a1jNqyNgyHZYIeK4HbffKm0Q_lksca_DPcWp&source=gmail&ust=1685410124732000&usg=AOvVaw3ItMDGGWLRrrRq1MK0loFS" href="https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiQUjwsM8AB0UM81BGA3sFvtITijLSggb2HN9npCszdm_ybJ91rrDO1a1jNqyNgyHZYIeK4HbffKm0Q_lksca_DPcWp" style="color: #121212; font-family: serif; line-height: 32px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOgkrcrUKLK-78zScWgQuRyYXGd7RED7XTTJndHQSPfshqNtMGEe01VDovkfFTvtpQpGS4LUcesj7Pp7mbXG6z2wYvmb8SRdRBDDai0alqcYeb6tqhJpg7ayD3YVxwEGZbJtg-VNuutzfcUD0b197kspzJxOaISqpJBzDFckEopCu6eHv7Pw2_HTup/s275/download%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOgkrcrUKLK-78zScWgQuRyYXGd7RED7XTTJndHQSPfshqNtMGEe01VDovkfFTvtpQpGS4LUcesj7Pp7mbXG6z2wYvmb8SRdRBDDai0alqcYeb6tqhJpg7ayD3YVxwEGZbJtg-VNuutzfcUD0b197kspzJxOaISqpJBzDFckEopCu6eHv7Pw2_HTup/s1600/download%20(1).jpg" width="275" /></a></div><br />Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton impeached<br /><br /><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="margin: 0px;"><span class="m_9053147965263060253article-body" style="color: #333333; font-family: serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px auto;"><p>The GOP-led Texas House voted to impeach Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Saturday, in a stunning rebuke of a staunch conservative by his own party.

The volcano, located on the eastern coast of Sicily near the city of Catania, began spewing ash Sunday morning, Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) told The Associated Press. The eruption did not come as much of a surprise, as volcanic activity had been reported for days. It caused ash to fall throughout Catania and nearby settlements, local officials said, and the Catania Airport tweeted it would be closed "until normal safety conditions are restored." Mount Etna is the tallest volcano in Europe, and has been known to erupt multiple times per year; the last major event was in 1992. A previous eruption of Etna in 2021 lasted several weeks.</p></span></td></tr></tbody></table>leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09858145297344199906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457670794662078453.post-76711842749763955852023-05-22T12:53:00.002-07:002023-05-22T12:53:42.116-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwnIW81BzZMDYmpInnw4RYmF2yuxeQtmQuPVgJ0kG9S2GZX7U7a1tZ4pwss1Us09xazAVbEWZ_S-o_jVVBlCKBji9jYXCxurLRZZZ8mppxt4UZt37xcB_a1mk9AwgYtDCKHDnz_eSjL3L6cRb58kopQXGj48wPYMrSv5wmqxox3CA7edTg4-D_eTgz/s300/download%20(2).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwnIW81BzZMDYmpInnw4RYmF2yuxeQtmQuPVgJ0kG9S2GZX7U7a1tZ4pwss1Us09xazAVbEWZ_S-o_jVVBlCKBji9jYXCxurLRZZZ8mppxt4UZt37xcB_a1mk9AwgYtDCKHDnz_eSjL3L6cRb58kopQXGj48wPYMrSv5wmqxox3CA7edTg4-D_eTgz/s1600/download%20(2).jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_5262976033788440648article-item-content" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; width: 594px;"><tbody><tr><td style="font-size: 27px; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px;"><a class="m_5262976033788440648article-headline" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID%3DHdcHbX1mW3gp8a4HE6XvioOG_lGF571rsVfmoOk0tTKmo76XP8gxL84HwV6NwAmYkY6oVgzcP72kf1LYRbIgxU3oO_OrY&source=gmail&ust=1684871447129000&usg=AOvVaw3qJu9_Z8XU_GDSfh6cMOmE" href="https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=HdcHbX1mW3gp8a4HE6XvioOG_lGF571rsVfmoOk0tTKmo76XP8gxL84HwV6NwAmYkY6oVgzcP72kf1LYRbIgxU3oO_OrY" style="color: #121212; font-family: serif; line-height: 32px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">SpaceX launches private citizens to International Space Station</a><br /><br /><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="margin: 0px;"><span class="m_5262976033788440648article-body" style="color: #333333; font-family: serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px auto;"><p>SpaceX on Sunday launched a four-person crew on a mission to the International Space Station.

The clause, which had never been used, allows him to close the legislature while setting him up to lose power in six months, although he can run for re-election. Soldiers and police prevented lawmakers from entering parliament, and opposition groups planned mass protests, calling the move "dictatorship."</p></span></td></tr></tbody></table>leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09858145297344199906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457670794662078453.post-70906983031878456462023-05-18T20:58:00.003-07:002023-05-18T20:58:34.145-07:00<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="x_article-item-content" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: #242424; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; width: 594px;"><tbody><tr><td style="font-size: 27px; line-height: 32px;"><a class="x_article-headline" data-auth="Verified" data-linkindex="34" href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnewsletter.theweek.com%2Foptiext%2Foptiextension.dll%3FID%3DXtsXso_cfgbC1q_4dk2qx32U5MYLwJdXSetrYFWggbXu4XDb4YnW8iAaWNVNAsRafe8vrcewXcLPOA81djSJF1CPVSHX6&data=05%7C01%7C%7C316d398c49fc4b3648db08db57901b97%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638200048705716362%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=QmMe2w66CmZM9JgVlKegHEVu22Sif08NXk8RWl1AWg4%3D&reserved=0" originalsrc="https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=XtsXso_cfgbC1q_4dk2qx32U5MYLwJdXSetrYFWggbXu4XDb4YnW8iAaWNVNAsRafe8vrcewXcLPOA81djSJF1CPVSHX6" rel="noopener noreferrer" shash="mvko7WBaRITFncsAah81wXAdQ28kYQVdBvYkvZKdKmLJ7lkvfWeTxmnhTv7UxITeW+PueryO/hsvuaCuvrXD2w1/WAfZObLGOQ8aNjzQzl1rvBkBYRp6I/YB2N+vRczZf8uitR+PC0+c0MAdK3XVCXsU5ATWQylKFLI+UoJn46w=" style="border: 0px; color: #121212; font-family: serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Protected by Outlook: https://newsletter.theweek.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=XtsXso_cfgbC1q_4dk2qx32U5MYLwJdXSetrYFWggbXu4XDb4YnW8iAaWNVNAsRafe8vrcewXcLPOA81djSJF1CPVSHX6.

Vice, once valued at $5.7 billion, has struggled with financial difficulties and the departure of top executives for years.

State-owned news agency Anadolu said with nearly all ballots counted Erdogan led with 49.4 percent of the vote, compared to 44.8 percent for Kilicdaroglu. A third candidate got 5 percent. The vote marked the biggest challenge Erdogan has faced in his 20-year rule, and a referendum on Erdogan's increasingly authoritarian policies. Opinion polls ahead of Sunday's vote had given Kilicdaroglu, the candidate of a six-party alliance, a narrow lead over Erdogan, whose support thinned due to an economic crisis and the government's slow response to a February earthquake that killed 50,000.</p></div>leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09858145297344199906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457670794662078453.post-56717365565588932562023-05-10T10:56:00.000-07:002023-05-10T10:56:00.884-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

George Santos (R-N.Y.), who has faced widespread criticism for lying about his experience and background during his campaign, CNN reported Tuesday, citing three sources familiar with the matter. Santos is expected to appear in a New York court on Wednesday. It wasn't immediately clear what crimes he was accused of committing. Santos' attorney declined CNN's request for comment. Democrats and some Republicans have called for Santos to resign, and the freshman representative faces several investigations, including one by the House Ethics Committee. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said he would have to see the charges against Santos before deciding whether he should be removed from Congress, according to CNN.
