A block from my house at the edge of Washington, there is a winding park with a road running through it. One Sunday recently, walking my regular loop along the trail, I heard leaves rustling on the wooded hill above me. I wanted desperately for her to come closer, to stay in her orbit a moment longer. Over the last several months, I have seen maybe a half dozen, here and elsewhere. I had never believed in signs; now I notice when an interview runs exactly 1 hour and 13 minutes, or when the hour is exactly 1:13.

Maine Republican Primary Election Results
  + stars: | 2024-03-05 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Polls close in Maine’s presidential primary at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Party members could only vote in their own party’s primary, but unaffiliated voters could choose one to participate in. In many elections, including the presidential primaries, Maine uses a “ranked-choice voting” process in which voters may rank candidates in order of preference. Maine Republican leaders have said they will only consider the first round of voting when allocating their delegates. The state primary, which will include races for state and congressional offices, will be held on June 11.

It is not the first time that Mainers' push for a publicly owned energy grid has failed. In 1973, voters struck down the creation of a Maine Power Authority, which would have put the power supply in the state's hands. Janet Mills vetoed a bill from the state legislature to establish Pine Tree Power. In New York, the Long Island Power Authority has run the power grid of Long Island since 1986. Despite having a roughly 70-year-old public power grid, Nebraska still relies heavily on coal.

22 Democrats voted for a more narrow resolution proposed by a different House Republican. 22 House Democrats voted with the vast majority of Republicans to support a censure resolution put forward by Rep.

Maine is the latest state to address foreign influence in elections. The Maine referendum on the Nov. 7 ballot would ban foreign governments, or companies with 5% or more foreign government ownership, from donating to future referendum races. The Maine proposal is straightforward by targeting foreign governments and companies owned by them, while leaving untouched foreign-based corporations with no government ownership. The idea of foreign influence in U.S. elections is something that unites people in an era of deep partisan divisions. “Of course we shouldn’t have foreign governments meddling in our elections.”___Follow David Sharp on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, @David_Sharp_AP

Gaetz, a far-right House Republican who viewed Speaker Kevin McCarthy as too willing to compromise with Democrats, started a process three weeks ago to unseat him. Not only did that effort work, but House Republicans emerged from their recent chaos yesterday to elect Mike Johnson as the new speaker. “Because now we have both a man and a plan.”Johnson had little national profile until he emerged as the leading candidate for speaker on Tuesday night. Unlike the three failed speaker candidates who came before him, Johnson has few enemies among House Republicans. His hallmark in Congress, our colleague Annie Karni wrote in a profile of Johnson, “has been combining his hard-line views with a gentle personal style.”

Meanwhile, borrowers are still awaiting a Supreme Court decision, which will determine whether the student loan forgiveness program can take effect. In February, the Supreme Court heard two legal challenges to Biden’s student loan forgiveness program. Biden’s other student debt policiesBiden has extended the pause on federal student loan payments several times. The Biden administration has tied the restart date to the litigation over the separate student loan forgiveness program. New rules set to take effect in July could broaden eligibility for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, which is aimed at helping government and nonprofit workers.

Sen. Mitt Romney said making room for bike lanes is "the height of stupidity" and opposes e-bike credits. "Removing automobile lanes to put in bike lanes is, in my opinion, the height of stupidity, it means more cars backing up, creating more emissions." "There is a widespread suspicion on the right today that liberals want to take away their way of life," Carney told Insider. That is in the background of the mind of every conservative, and so when they hear more bike lanes, they think, 'Okay, what is that code for?'" Carney told attendees at the annual National Bike Summit in Washington last week to frame their efforts as building safer and more interconnected communities.
This year, women will hold all four of the top positions on the House and Senate Appropriations committees for the first time in history. “Oftentimes people say, you know, ‘We need to have women at the table.’ Well, women are the table.”Spending and debt fights loomOver the decades, these women have seen their share of spending fights. But I’m absolutely convinced that we have to stand together,” said Granger, who last week became the first female Republican to chair the House Appropriations Committee. Women, Murray said, are good communicators, and she and her colleagues can translate a big, complicated appropriations bill for everyday Americans. But as a 14-year House Appropriations staffer, she also intimately knows each of the top appropriators and recognizes the significance of this glass-ceiling-shattering moment.
A spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office told NBC News Monday afternoon it is unclear when he will be arraigned "based on a number of factors." The three officers were hospitalized, according to Sewell, who said one had a fractured skull and another had a bad cut. The sources added that Bickford is believed to have traveled from Wells to lower Manhattan on Thursday mainly via Amtrak. FBI agents were outside Bickford's Wells home on Sunday, NBC affiliate WCSH of Portland, Maine reported. Neighbors told NBC affiliate WJAR of Providence, Rhode Island they were shocked by the attack.

General Electric (GE) – GE spin-off GE HealthCare Technologies will join the S&P 500 when it begins trading as a separate public company on Jan. 4. Vornado will replace logistics company RXO (RXO), which will move to the S&P SmallCap 600. GE HealthCare — trading on a when-issued basis — rose 1% in the premarket, while Vornado was marginally lower and RXO jumped 3.3%. Apple (AAPL) – Apple is up 1% in premarket trading after closing Wednesday at a 1-1/2 year low.
After months of debate, lawmakers are poised to pass major changes to the Electoral Count Act. They wanted the vice president to either delay the January 6 joint session of Congress and/or unilaterally find that the certified results of states in disputes were not legitimate. I think Vice President Pence … did exactly the right thing and previous vice presidents have done the same. Trump himself has suggested that by clarifying the Electoral Count Act, senators are implicitly suggesting that Pence could have had this power. In order for pro-Trump lawmakers to throw the election to the vice president, they still needed to file objections to the results.
WASHINGTON — The lobster featured on the menu of Thursday’s state dinner comes with caviar, squash ravioli — and a heaping side of controversy. Maine officials would typically be thrilled to have their state’s most famous export featured at such a high-profile White House event. Maine lobstermen have long prided themselves on sustainability and argue the concern about right whales is misplaced. “I am glad President Biden and his State Dinner guests had the opportunity to enjoy Maine lobster,” Democratic Maine Gov. “The administration should make their policy consistent with their culinary preferences.”The Office of the First Lady, which oversees the state dinner preparations, did not respond to a request for comment.
The Senate on Tuesday passed a landmark bill that would recognize same-sex marriage nationwide. Twelve Republicans voted with Democrats for the legislation. The bill will head to the House, which is expected to pass it. Twelve Republicans voted with all Democrats for the legislation, which also protects interracial marriage. Large majorities of the American public support same-sex marriage rights.
On the eve of Election Day, Donald Trump called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi an "animal." Trump's comment came two weeks after Pelosi's husband was violently assaulted inside his home. The assault of Pelosi's husband, Paul, early in the morning of October 28 thrust to the fore the remarkable rise in threats to lawmakers and their families in recent years. In court papers, prosecutors alleged that DePape broke into the Pelosi home in San Francisco and shouted, "Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?" Threats against public officials have increased amid a rise in violent political speech.
An analysis of debate schedules by NBC News confirms what many political observers have speculated: The number of debates in competitive 2022 Senate races has hit a new low since 2008. Before 2022, each election saw an average of about 20 debates among the most competitive Senate candidates surveyed. The audience awaits a debate between Ohio Senate candidates, Rep. Tim Ryan, a Democrat, and J.D. He pointed to the recent Pennsylvania Senate debate in which John Fetterman’s stroke-affected performance was widely panned. For instance, far more people likely saw a picture of Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker holding an honorary sheriffs badge on stage than listened to a single minute of his debate with Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock.

„Se pare că cea mai mare problemă a țării nu este COVID-19, ci Igor Dodon și deciziile dictate de el. Acțiunile care vor urma mâine reprezintă o ambiție în stilul lui Plahotniuc în încercarea de a rămâne la putere”, a comentat Usatîi proiectul înregistrat de socialiști. „Maia Sandu nu a reușit bine să ajungă la Președinție, că aceștia deja încearcă să fure ceva”, a mai spus Usatîi. Trebuie să ne unim împotriva corupției și prostiei pe care încearcă să o continue Igor Dodon, cu implicarea Partidului Șor. Această inițiativă legislativă vine odată ce președintele în exercițiu al R. Moldova, Igor Dodon, a pierdut lupta pentru încă un mandat prezidențial, în fața candidatei PAS, Maia Sandu.
