Rep. Josh Gottheimer Headlines No Labels Call While Eyeing Run for Higher Office

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:47:52 GMT

Amid the rush to avert a government shutdown last week, Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., co-headlined a No Labels Zoom call, just months after denouncing the centrist political organization’s plans to field a third-party presidential ticket in 2024.Gottheimer appeared alongside Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., to offer “an exclusive congressional update” about their efforts to achieve “a commonsense bipartisan framework” to prevent a government shutdown, unlike “partisan actors on both sides of the aisle.”The Friday morning event came as the New Jersey Democrat is reportedly considering a run for state governorship. His name has also been floated as a possibility to replace Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who is facing calls to resign, including from Gottheimer, in the wake of his indictment on bribery and corruption charges.“As he did with many groups last week, Rep. Gottheimer spoke to [No Labels] members, many from New Jersey, about a government shutdown and...

Suns finish dizzying wheel-and-deal summer, focus on building around Booker, Durant and Beal

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:47:52 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — Mat Ishbia has lots of good traits for an NBA owner, including deep pockets and a huge desire to win.Patience doesn’t appear to be his strong suit.The Phoenix Suns — outside of three-time All-Star Devin Booker — are nearly unrecognizable just eight months after Ishbia bought the team for roughly $4 billion from embattled owner Robert Sarver. In fact, Booker is the final player remaining from the franchise’s run to the 2021 Finals, less than three years ago.To outsiders, the changes have been jarring. But 13-time All-Star Kevin Durant — a franchise stalwart at this point after eight months in a Suns uniform — said that’s just part of today’s game.“This is absolutely normal. It’s the NBA,” Durant said on Monday at the team’s media day. “It’s been happening for years and years and years. It’s normal to me.”One thing that makes the roster turnover more palatable? This isn’t a rebuild — far from it.The Suns now have a t...

Mudryk and Broja score as Chelsea beats Fulham 2-0 in the Premier League

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:47:52 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Chelsea’s long wait for another Premier League win came to an end on Monday with a 2-0 victory at Fulham. Two goals in the space of a minute in the first half from Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja secured the points for Mauricio Pochettino’s struggling team at Craven Cottage and moved it up to 11th in the standings.It was Chelsea’s first win in the league since Aug. 25 and only its second in the top flight all season.The victory will give Pochettino something to build on after such a troubled start to the season and comes after his side beat Brighton in the English League Cup last week. It has not been an easy start for Pochettino after he was hired at the end of last season and charged with the responsibility of returning Chelsea to its glory days. Despite his appointment lifting the mood around the club after its worst-ever Premier League season last term, there has been no instant uplift in form. Chelsea’s only win in the league going into M...

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:47:52 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have a lot of new players this season. However, Derrick Henry remains the biggest constant for an offense that works best when he runs the ball.The Titans spent the first month trying to click offensively with a new coordinator and a lot of new players. It didn’t help losing their starting left guard to an appendectomy the day before the second game. With Henry turning in his best game this season and passing Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell for second on the franchise rushing list, the Titans put together their best offensive performance yet to climb to 2-2.“A lot of good things to build off of,” Henry said after the Titans’ 27-3 rout of Cincinnati.Henry set the franchise record with his 80th rushing TD in the second quarter. He then passed Campbell (8,574 yards rushing) for second all time early in the third quarter. With 8,620 yards rushing, Henry trails only Eddie George (10,009) for most in team histor...

Trump seethes through the start of trial in New York lawsuit accusing him of lying about his wealth

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:47:52 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Aggrieved and defiant, former President Donald Trump spent a day in court Monday for the sometimes testy start of a trial in a fraud lawsuit that could cost him control of Trump Tower and other prized properties. “Disgraceful trial,” he declared during a lunch break, after listening to lawyers for New York Attorney General Letitia James excoriate him as a habitual liar. The state’s lawsuit accuses the business mogul-turned-politician and his company of deceiving banks, insurers and others by misstating his wealth for years in financial statements.“They were lying year after year after year,” Kevin Wallace, a lawyer in James’ office, said as Trump sat at the defense table. He looked straight ahead, arms crossed, facing away from a screen that showed details of Wallace’s presentation. Trump denies wrongdoing and voluntarily attended a trial that he called a “sham,” a “scam,” a waste of the state’s time and “a continuation of the single gre...

(CNN Español) — El papa Francisco sugirió por primera vez que las personas en uniones del mismo sexo podrían ser bendecidas por sacerdotes católicos “caso por caso”, y que, aunque es una posibilidad remota, la ordenación de mujeres al sacerdocio debería estudiarse.El papa hizo la sugerencia en una carta a sus críticos más duros dentro de las filas católicas escrita en respuesta a cinco cardenales conservadores que retomaron su carta del 10 de julio con una serie de preguntas formales, llamadas “dubia” (en latín, “duda”), que es una solicitud oficial de respuesta de Sí o No por parte de un pontífice en ejercicio con respecto a su gestión de la Iglesia.Los cardenales Walter Brandmuller, Raymond Leo Burke, Juan Sandoval Íñiguez, Robert Sarah y Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, enviaron la carta al papa Francisco el 10 de julio y recibieron una respuesta al día siguiente. La respuesta, sin embargo, no estuvo acorde con el protocolo, en el que se pide al papa que responda...
