Liz Cheney weighing presidential bid after primary loss

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney was increasingly open on Wednesday about considering a 2024 presidential campaign after soundly losing a Republican primary to a challenger backed by former President Donald Trump.Speaking to NBC in the wake of her loss, the third-term congresswoman called Trump "a very grave threat and risk to our republic," and said defeating him will require "a broad and united front of Republicans, Democrats and independents — and that’s what I intend to be part of."She declined to say if she would run for president but conceded it’s "something that I’m thinking about."The primary results — and the more than 35-point margin of her defeat — were a powerful reminder of the GOP’s rapid shift to the right.

Gov. Wolf touts increased funding for education during trip to Montgomery County

EAST NORRITON, Pa. - Governor Wolf apologized Tuesday for what he called "bragging" about the nearly $4-billion he’s pushed into public education during his soon-to-end two terms in office.Wolf visited East Norriton Middle School in the Norristown Area School District on Tuesday where he was greeted by a group of newly hired public school teachers.Superintendent Christopher Dormer said the district had to cut programs and staff in the past, but an influx of millions of state dollars has allowed them to hire new teachers and add programs."Every student in every school across Pennsylvania deserves a good education regardless of his or her or their zip code," Wolf said.BACK TO SCHOOL HEADLINESWhile praising Wolf's investment in education, School Board President Phil Daniels offered a warning. "Some people on the others side of the aisle want to burn this thing to the ground," Daniels said.

Inflation Reduction Act: Biden to sign massive climate and health care bill

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden will sign Democrats’ landmark climate change and health care bill on Tuesday, delivering what he has called the "final piece" of his pared-down domestic agenda, as he aims to boost his party’s standing with voters less than three months before the midterm elections.The legislation includes the most substantial federal investment in history to fight climate change — some $375 billion over the decade — and would cap prescription drug costs at $2,000 out-of-pocket annually for Medicare recipients. It also would help an estimated 13 million Americans pay for health care insurance by extending subsidies provided during the coronavirus pandemic.The measure is paid for by new taxes on large companies and stepped-up IRS enforcement of wealthy individuals and entities, with additional funds going to reduce the federal deficit.The House on Friday approved the measure on a party-line 220-207 vote.

WASHINGTON - The FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate sent reverberations across the country, even before court papers were unsealed Friday showing agents recovered documents labeled "top secret" as they investigated potential violations of three laws, including one that governs defense information under the Espionage Act.Trump has said the documents seized by agents were "all declassified," and argued that he would have turned them over to the Justice Department if asked.

Ohio FBI shooting: Gunman reportedly threatened agency following raid of Trump's home

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A gunman who died in a shootout after trying to get inside the FBI’s Cincinnati office appeared to have posted calls on social media for FBI agents to be killed and for people to take up arms and "be ready for combat" in the wake of the search at Donald Trump’s home, a law enforcement official said.Federal investigators are examining social media accounts they believe are tied to the gunman, 42-year-old Ricky Shiffer, and posts that urged violence after the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, according to the official, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.At least one of the messages on Trump’s Truth Social media platform appeared to have been posted after Shiffer tried to breach the FBI office. It said: "If you don’t hear from me, it is true I tried attacking the F.B.I."Another posted on the same site earlier this week from @rickywshifferjr included a "call to arms" and urged people to "be ready for combat" after the search.Authorities also are looking into whether Shiffer, a Navy veteran, had ties to far-right extremist groups such as the Proud Boys, the official said.Shiffer was armed with a nail gun and an AR-15-style rifle when he tried to breach the visitor screening area at the FBI office Thursday, according to the official.

"The world is watching as our Country is being brought to a new low, not only on our border, crime, economy, energy, national security, and so much more, but also with respect to our sacred elections!He added: "Release the documents now!"Garland, during his public remarks Thursday, said he "personally" signed off on the decision to obtain a warrant to search Trump’s private residence."The department does not take such a decision lightly," Garland said.

WASHINGTON - Attorney General Merrick Garland has spoken publicly from Washington this afternoon three days after agents searched former president Donald Trump’s Florida estate.Garland also said that he personally approved the search warrant, which was part of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida earlier this year.It was not immediately clear if and when the unsealing request, filed in federal court in Miami, might be granted or when the documents could be released.Now, the Justice Department has asked a court to unseal the search warrant the FBI received before searching the Florida estate of former President Donald Trump, Garland said Thursday.Before Garland's remarks, there had been no high-level comment from the Justice Department since federal agents spent most of the day Monday at Trump’s winter home, reportedly retrieving documents and even opening a safe.The FBI search was part of an investigation into whether the former president took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence.

"It is an intense and complex incident."The fire at the Matanzas Supertanker Base has killed at least one person and injured 125 others, with another 14 firefighters still missing.

He has denied any wrongdoing and worked to cast Monday's search as a weaponization of the criminal justice system and a political ploy to keep from another term in office, though the Biden White House said it had no awareness and the current FBI director was originally appointed by Trump.Here’s a look at the probes underway in different states and venues:Monday’s FBI search came as part of an investigation into whether he took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence, people familiar with the matter said.

Democrats expected to remove Iowa from traditional lead-off spot in 2024 campaign

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Democrats are poised to strip Iowa of its traditional lead-off spot in the presidential nominating calendar in 2024, part of a broader effort to better reflect the party’s deeply diverse electorate by allowing less overwhelmingly white states to vote first.The Democratic National Committee's rule-making arm had planned to recommend on Friday which states should be the first four to vote, while considering adding a fifth before Super Tuesday, when a large number of states hold primary elections. But it delayed the decision until after November's election, lest it become a distraction affecting Democrats in key congressional races.Still, the position of Iowa's caucus remains precarious after technical glitches sparked a 2020 meltdown.

Brittney Griner to nine years in prison after finding her guilty of deliberately bringing cannabis-infused vape cartridges into Russia despite them being illegal.She was also ordered to pay a fine of one million Russian rubles (approximately CA$20,965).Her sentencing could pave the way for a high-profile prisoner swap between Russia and the United States that would include the 31-year-old athlete and an imprisoned Russian who was once a prolific arms dealers.
