"So we don’t know when the next day of session will be. We are now 26 days late on the state budget. The latest budget in 13 years."Republican lawmakers on Wednesday held a press conference saying that while they are still awaiting to see what’s included in the final budget, they want time to read the bills before voting."We’re here today to demand that the governor not issue messages of necessity on this budget when the bills are done, when the agreements are made," said O'Mara. And if the governor does issue messages of necessity, that the leaders of the legislative majority do not accept those and allow these budg...

Cardinals option rookie Jordan Walker to minors

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:46:07 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO - The St. Louis Cardinals have optioned rookie outfielder Jordan Walker to Triple-A Memphis, less than a month after his MLB debut. Walker had been held out of the lineup in three of the past four games, and five times in the Cardinals' last 11 games. Before that, he had started 13 consecutive contests and opened his MLB career on a historic 12-game hitting streak. Though some rest always seemed inevitable on a crowded Cardinals roster, Walker's absences from starting lineups have mounted in recent weeks. The Cardinals, searching for answers to one of their slowest starts in nearly half a century, have shuffled lineups on a near-daily basis. St. Louis has also dropped its last four without the 20-year-old rookie in the starting lineup, leaving many fans wondering whether there's something more behind the decision. This St. Louis restaurant has the best soul food in Missouri, food writers say Cardinals manager Oli Marmol told several media members Tuesday, including ...

House Republicans pass US debt bill, push Biden on spending

By LISA MASCARO and KEVIN FREKING (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans passed sweeping legislation Wednesday that would raise the government’s legal debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion in exchange for steep spending restrictions, a tactical victory for Speaker Kevin McCarthy as he challenges President Joe Biden to negotiate and prevent a catastrophic federal default this summer.The bill passed by a razor-thin 217-215 margin.Biden has threatened to veto the Republican package, which has almost no chance of passing the Democratic Senate in the meantime, and the president has so far refused to negotiate over the debt ceiling which the White House insists must be lifted with no strings to ensure America pays its bills.But McCarthy’s ability to unite his slim majority and bring the measure to passage over opposition from Democrats and even holdouts in his own party gives currency to the Republican speaker’s strategy to use the vote as an opening bid for...

The European Union has allocated money for different programs, starting from social programs, education, healthcare, energy efficiency, environmental protection, and other programs.

However, people in Ukraine and Western countries sometimes wonder whether this fight is truly effective.How much money does the EU give Ukraine?Since ...
