WASHINGTON, June 15 (Reuters) - Republican and Democratic members of the U.S. Congress introduced legislation on Thursday that would make it easier for Ukraine to fund its fight against Russian invaders by using seized and frozen Russian assets. The U.S. Congress has approved more than $100 billion in military, humanitarian and economic aid for Ukraine since Russia invaded in February 2022. It also would bar the release of funds to sanctioned Russian entities until Russia withdraws from Ukraine and agrees to provide compensation for harm caused by the war. The bill's other Republican sponsors include Representative Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Representatives Joe Wilson, Thomas Kean and Brian Fitzpatrick. Democratic sponsors include Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Representative Marcy Kaptur, a co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, as well as Representatives Steve Cohen and Mike Quigley.

☆ The District Gained Republicans. Could a Liberal Democrat Take It Back?

Last year, redistricting shored up the odds of victory for the incumbent party in 11 of New Jersey’s 12 congressional districts. With a year and a half before the election, it is likely that additional Democratic challengers to Mr. Kean will emerge. But Ms. Altman’s early entry and name recognition gives her a clear edge in a race that even the state’s Democratic Party chairman, LeRoy J. Jones Jr., acknowledges will be an uphill fight. “Sue Altman is a formidable candidate — and so far the only candidate,” Mr. Jones said. “Without hearing from anyone else, Sue is in a position to make her case to ultimately be the Democratic nominee.”

Maurizio Sarri's Lazio side face a tough test in Milan, who have been unbeaten at San Siro in their last eight games in all competitions. Lazio have 64 points ahead of Juve (63) and Inter Milan (60) with Atalanta, Milan and AS Roma (58) jostling for the top four. Pioli, whose Milan team were dethroned by Napoli in the league, also have a Champions League semi-final, first leg against Inter on Wednesday to think about. "Last year we took big steps forward when we came out of the Champions League, while this year in Europe we're doing exceptional things." Juve have found scoring on the road difficult, managing only four goals in their last five league games.

The bloodshed erupted on Friday in Cleveland, Texas, after neighbors asked the suspect to stop firing his semiautomatic rifle in his yard because it was keeping their baby awake. Instead, the man reloaded, entered the home of the neighbors and killed five, including an 8-year-old boy, officials said. "Anybody that helped this maniac definitely has some issues as far as I am concerned," Kean said. The suspect, identified as 38-year-old Francisco Oropesa, was apprehended on Tuesday after a four-day manhunt conducted by local, state and federal officials. The suspect is a Mexican national who immigration officials said had been deported from the United States four times since 2009.

She was arrested at the same place in Montgomery County that suspected gunman Francisco Oropesa was arrested Tuesday night, case records show. Law enforcement also tracked Oropesa’s wife to the home, which is associated with one of the suspect’s family members, a law enforcement source told CNN. Courtesy Eva GutierrezAuthorities now have 90 days to indict Oropesa, a law enforcement source involved said. Due to his status as a Mexican national, the Mexican consulate will be formally notified of his circumstances on Wednesday, the law enforcement source said. Officials’ efforts may have been stymied by a lack of trust in law enforcement.

☆ Juve lack attacking options for Inter clash, says Allegri

March 18 (Reuters) - Juventus could be without Angel Di Maria and Federico Chiesa for Sunday's Serie A match at Inter Milan as the Turin club battles a growing injury list, manager Massimiliano Allegri said. Both have struggled with injuries this season and Allegri said on Saturday they could join Leonardo Bonucci, Alex Sandro, Arkadiusz Milik and Paul Pogba as injury absentees. Moise Kean is also suspended after he was sent off in their 1-0 loss against AS Roma earlier this month. We don’t have options up front without Kean and Milik, we have (Matias) Soule but only (Dusan) Vlahovic as a starting striker," Allegri said. "It’s important and difficult in Milan because six-pointers are always difficult to play," Allegri added.

☆ Star Entertainment dives on NSW govt's proposal to reform casino tax rates
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-19 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

Dec 19 (Reuters) - Shares in Australia's Star Entertainment Group tumbled nearly 12% on Monday, after the New South Wales (NSW) government proposed to raise taxes on casino poker machine operators in the state from July next year. The NSW Treasurer Matt Kean said on Saturday the money raised will be used to help fund vital services like helping communities recover from impacts of COVID-19, bushfires and floods. The move comes amid increased efforts to reform Australia's gambling industry which has been roiled in damning reports of sidestepping anti-money-laundering rules, dysfunctional governance and poor corporate culture. Star Entertainment Group said in a statement on Monday it had not been consulted by the NSW government on the matter, adding it is "seeking to urgently engage with the NSW government as to the sustainability of the proposed tax changes and the impact on The Star's business".

☆ Secret 9/11 memo reveals Bush rewriting the history of the 9/11 attacks and the warnings he'd tuned out

The ten members of the 9/11 Commission got to ask him and Vice President Dick Cheney any question they wanted about the September 11th attacks. What the new memo makes clear is that the White House's lack of urgency in facing down the domestic Al Qaeda threat wasn't all that complicated. Fortunately for Bush, the 9/11 Commission Report was careful not to point the finger directly at the sitting president. Still, when set beside the newly declassified memo, their official version of history as described by the 9/11 Commission Report feels incomplete, and sanitized. On the question of whether Al Qaeda came up during the August 17 briefing, Morell said he did not remember.

He also pointed to impending risks to Social Security based on plans floated by certain Republican lawmakers, namely Sens. What's more, it would mean letting two of the most important laws that established Social Security and Medicare expire, he said. It is unclear what his opponent Kean's stance is on Social Security and Medicare. While that's in keeping with years past, the difference this year is Social Security has been more of a front-burner issue. "Usually, it's a lot of lip service to Social Security and how they think it's a great program."

Florentino Perez îi pregătește un cadou lui Carlo Ancelotti după ce italianul a revenit pe banca Realului. Contractul francezului expiră în 2022, astfel că șefii de pe Parc des Princes nu au de ales și vor fi nevoiți să-l vândă în această vară, dacă nu va semna prelungirea. Iar toate semnele sunt că Mbappe nu va accepta să rămână la PSG, după ce a refuzat orice propunere făcută în ultimul an. Portughezul are de ales între PSG și...Manchester United, echipa la care a mai jucat în tinerețe. Dacă va prefera să se întoarcă pe Old Trafford, atunci în calcul pentru Juventus ar putea intra Paul Pogba.

☆ Transferurile cu care Juventus vrea să dea lovitura! Ronaldo și Szczesny sunt printre jucătorii sacrificați

Lucrurile s-ar putea așeza pentru Juve, mai ales că jucătorii doriți pe Allianz Stadium sunt clienții lui Mino Raiola, agentul care se află într-o relație foarte bună cu Pavel Nedved, oficialul bianconerilor. Potrivit Tuttosport, Mino Raiola s-a întâlnit cu Pavel Nedved pentru a negocia transferurile a mai multor jucători, printre care Paul Pogba și Gianluigi Donnarumma. Donnarumma va pleca liber de contract de la AC Milan în această vară, dar Juventus va trebui mai întâi să îl vândă pe Wojciech Szczesny. Internaționalul polonez și-a prelungit înțelegerea cu Juventus în 2019 și este sub contract până în 2024 pentru șapte milioane de euro pe an. De asemenea, se pare că Pavel Nedved și Mino Raiola au discutat despre un posibil schimb între Federico Bernardeschi și Alessio Romagnoli, jucătorul celor de la AC Milan.
