(CNN) — House Speaker Mike Johnson said Saturdayhe believes Republicans have the votes to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.“I believe we will,” Johnson told Fox News of a GOP-led impeachment inquiry. “I suspect no Democrats will assist in this effort, but they should.”Johnson added Republicans “have a duty to do this” and “we cannot stop the process.”Republican leadership and key GOP committee chairs on Friday made the case for why they believe an inquiry vote is necessary, arguing it would strengthen their legal standing in court and accusing the White House of “stonewalling” their probe into the president and his son’s foreign business dealings – a claim the White House has forcefully rebutted.Johnson, appearing alongside House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik, claimed the inquiry wouldn’t be used as a partisan political tool.“Elise and I both served on the impeachment defense team of Donald Trump twice, when the Democrats used it for braze...

NFL Notes: How will we remember the Mac Jones era in New England?

Published Tue, 18 Mar 2025 08:47:17 GMT

The serial position effect is a psychological phenomenon that explains how human memory is impacted by the order of information.It states we tend to remember the first and last parts of a sequence better than those in the middle; like items on a grocery list, digits in a phone number or scenes in a movie or TV show.Or, say, the seasons of a quarterback’s career.After Bailey Zappe assumed starting reps in practice this week, it appears the Mac Jones era has reached its end in New England. The final image of Jones playing quarterback shows him lying on the turf at MetLife Stadium, having wilted yet again under pressure on a strip sack moments before halftime in a loss to the Giants. That sack followed two earlier interceptions that could only be explained by mind-boggling mental lapses.“In both of those situations,” offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien said this week, “(Jones) would probably be the first to tell you that he has to make a better decision.”This is ...

Unions blast Republicans for delay as procedural budget battle continues on Beacon Hill

Published Tue, 18 Mar 2025 08:47:17 GMT

House lawmakers were set to gavel in Saturday morning for their third session in as many days to consider a nearly $3.1 billion supplemental budget that includes money for union contracts and the state’s emergency shelter system after Massachusetts Republicans blocked its path forward twice.Democrats and Republicans have pointed fingers at each other over who is at fault on Beacon Hill for delaying funding for 95 union contracts, which include raises for tens of thousands of public sector employees just ahead of the holidays.But some unions are clearly taking sides. In a blistering statement Friday afternoon, the Massachusetts AFL-CIO said it was “astonished and appalled” that the budget bill was not passed Friday.“The inaction and continued obstruction by a small group of House Republicans makes it increasingly more likely that 60,000 public sector employees will not see their collectively bargained raises in time for the holidays and colder weather,” the organization said.House an...

THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — A father and son duo in Greece were arrested for selling adulterated sunflower oil marketed as olive oil, police said Saturday.A raid in a warehouse outside the northern city of Thessaloniki on Friday yielded over 13 tons of the oil, with slightly more than half already packaged in tin cans and plastic bottles and the rest in a tank, police said.The pair, aged 80 and 36, bought the sunflower oil in Bulgaria, not far from Thessaloniki, and added coloring agents to pass it off as extra virgin olive oil.

RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) — A child care provider accused of sedating an infant with an antihistamine was convicted of manslaughter, and faces up to 25 years in prison when she’s sentenced.A jury on Friday convicted of Stacey Vaillancourt of manslaughter and child cruelty in the 2019 death of Harper Rose Briar in Vaillancourt’s home in Rutland.The 6-month-old was found unresponsive while in Vaillancourt’s care, and an autopsy determined she had high concentrations of diphenhydramine, the sedating ingredient in some over-the-counter antihistamines including the brand Benadryl.
