U.S. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez 'encouraged' despite Senate rejecting 'Green New Deal'

The non-binding resolution, which proposes to eliminate U.S. greenhouse gas emissions within a decade, lost 57-0 in the Senate, with 43 Democrats voting "present." "You had the Republicans voting 'no' and you had virtually the entire Democratic caucus voting 'present,' even those in tough states," Ocasio-Cortez said on Friday. "That is an extraordinary amount of unity within the Senate to actually vote in that cohesive of a bloc, so I'm very encouraged." The Green New Deal, unveiled last month by Ocasio-Cortez and U.S. Senator Edward Markey, marks the first formal attempt by lawmakers to define potential legislation to create government-led investments in clean energy and infrastructure to transition the U.S. economy away from fossil fuels. CELEBRITY STATUS A rising political star and leader of the progressive left, Ocasio-Cortez defeated a longtime Democratic lawmaker in a 2018 primary to become the youngest woman in Congress at age 29, representing New York's 14th district in the House.

Ex-Yale coach pleads guilty for soliciting almost $1 million in bribes in college admissions scandal

A former soccer coach at Yale University pleaded guilty Thursday in Boston to fraud-related charges after authorities say he solicited almost $1 million in bribes from wealthy parents seeking to gain admission for their children into the prestigious school. Rudolph “Rudy” Meredith, 51, plead guilty to federal charges related to the largest-ever nationwide investigation that resulted in charges against 50 people, according to court documents released this week. Federal prosecutors say that in November 2017 Meredith accepted an "athletic profile" for an applicant's credentials that falsely described her as co-captain of a prominent soccer club in Southern California. Meredith allegedly used that profile to classify her as a women's soccer player, and she gained acceptance into the university.

Venezuelans Take to the Streets After Another Round of Blackouts

The man seeking to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro called on residents of poorer areas south of the capital to protest his rule, as three blackouts in less than a month have virtually shut down the country. Many schools and businesses have been closed for five days. We will continue to hit the streets,” Juan Guaido, head of the National Assembly recognized as interim president by some 50 nations, told protesters Saturday in San Antonio de Los Altos.

Corporations are endangering Americans. Trump doesn't care

But Trump and his appointees have unambiguously signaled to corporations they can now do as they please. Boeing wanted to get its 737 Max 8 out quickly because airlines want to pack in more passengers at lower fuel costs (hence the “max”). But neither Boeing nor the airlines shelled out money to adequately train pilots on the new software made necessary by the new design.

"The daring, close flybys of these odd little moons let us peer into how they interact with Saturn's rings," says Bonnie Buratti of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in a press statement.

Anti-stall system active before Ethiopian 737 MAX crash: sources

An anti-stall system at the center of a probe into the crash of a Boeing 737 MAX jetliner in Indonesia five months ago was also at play when an identical aircraft crashed in Ethiopia earlier this month, three people briefed on the matter said. Data pulled from the Ethiopian Airlines flight recorder suggests the so-called MCAS system, which pushes the nose of the jet downwards, had been activated before the jet ploughed into a field outside Addis Ababa on March 10, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of an interim official report. Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration declined to comment on the data, first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

US woman kidnapped in Afghanistan says husband's abuse was just like captors'

A Canadian man who was kidnapped with his wife in Afghanistan was controlling and violent towards her before, during and after their five-year hostage ordeal, she told a Canadian court on Friday. Caitlan Coleman, 33, gave testimony for a second day at the trial of Joshua Boyle, 35 who faces 19 criminal charges, including sexual assault, unlawful confinement and uttering death threats. Coleman was pregnant when she and Boyle were kidnapped by a Taliban-linked group while backpacking in Afghanistan in 2011.

Investigators believe Boeing anti-stall system was activated in Ethiopian crash: Report

In a preliminary finding, officials investigating the crash of an Ethiopian airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 believe that a flight control feature designed to prevent a stall was activated before the plane nose-dived and crashed, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing multiple unnamed sources. The officials probing the crash report that the preliminary findings suggest similarities between the Ethiopian crash, which killed 157 people on takeoff from Addis Ababa, and the crash of Lion Air in Indonesia, also on takeoff, that killed 189 people six months ago. The emerging consensus was relayed to the Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday, one of the officials said, according to the The Journal.

New Australian laws could see social media execs jailed over terror images

Australia pledged Saturday to introduce new laws that could see social media executives jailed and tech giants fined billions for failing to remove extremist material from their platforms. The tough new legislation will be brought to parliament next week as Canberra pushes for social media companies to prevent their platforms from being "weaponised" by terrorists in the wake of the Christchurch mosque attacks. Facebook said it "quickly" removed a staggering 1.5 million videos of the white supremacist massacre livestreamed on the social media platform.

U.K. Edges Closer to Election After May's Brexit Deal Defeat

Britain is edging closer to a general election after Parliament rejected Theresa May's Brexit deal for a third time, deepening the political crisis that has overtaken the country's bitter divorce from the European Union. Speaking after the result of the vote was announced Friday afternoon, the prime minister gave a veiled warning that an election could be necessary to end the stalemate in the House of Commons, which has failed to back a Brexit plan after months of trying. I fear we are reaching the limits of this process in this House,” May told lawmakers following the defeat by 344 votes to 286.

Mueller report: How Trump avoided interview with special counsel during Russia investigation

It was March 2018, nearly 10 months into his Russia investigation, when special counsel Robert Mueller III, a man of few words, raised the stakes dramatically in a meeting with Donald Trump's lawyers: If the president did not sit down voluntarily for an interview, he could face a subpoena. In the months that followed, Mr Mueller never explicitly threatened to issue a subpoena as his office pursued a presidential interview, a sit-down for which the special counsel was pushing as late as December. At one point last summer, when a lull in talks had the president's attorneys worried that Mr Mueller was seriously contemplating a subpoena, White House lawyer Emmet Flood wrote a memo laying out the legal arguments for protecting the president's executive privilege.

Pope signs law to prevent child abuse in Vatican and its embassies

Pope Francis on Friday made it compulsory in law to report the sexual abuse of children within the Vatican and in its diplomatic missions worldwide. Although the city state within Rome is tiny, and very few children live there, the sweeping legal changes reflect a desire to show that the Catholic Church is finally acting against clerical child abuse after decades of scandals around the world. The changes signed by the pope - who is Vatican head of state as well as head of the Church - make it obligatory for superiors and co-workers to report abuse allegations; punish failure to report with dismissal, fines or jail; and offer assistance to victims and families.

Who is paying for Monsanto's crimes? We are

For the second time in less than eight months a US jury has found that decades of scientific evidence demonstrates a clear cancer connection to Monsanto's line of top-selling Roundup herbicides, which are used widely by consumers and farmers. Twice now jurors have additionally determined that the company's own internal records show Monsanto has intentionally manipulated the public record to hide the cancer risks. Both juries found punitive damages were warranted because the company's cover-up of cancer risks was so egregious.

Turkey is holding local elections on Sunday that are seen as a test of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's popularity amid a sharp economic downturn. Erdogan, who has not lost a vote since his party came to power in 2002, has cast the elections as a "matter of national survival" and has been campaigning for a strong mandate that he says would come as slap to Turkey's enemies. If his party sweeps municipal seats, Erdogan's dominance would be further solidified with his grip on the presidency, parliament and local administration.

Pope Francis has issued sweeping new sex abuse legislation for the Vatican City State and Vatican diplomats that requires the immediate reporting of allegations to Vatican prosecutors, as he seeks to create a model policy for the Catholic Church. The mandatory reporting provision, while limited in scope to Vatican officials, marks the first time the Holy See has put into law requirements for Catholic officials to report allegations of sex crimes to police or face fines and possible jail time. Francis also issued child protection guidelines for Vatican City State and its youth seminary, acting after the global sex abuse scandal exploded anew last year and The Associated Press reported that the headquarters of the Catholic Church had no policy to protect children from predator priests.

How We'd Spec It: The New BMW 3-Series in Its Proper Configuration, with an Inline-Six and Few Options

A new generation of the BMW 3-series is always a big deal given this sports sedan's reputation, and the new G20 generation has extra weight on its shoulders given the somewhat disappointing dynamics of its F30 predecessor. While the base 330i model with its turbocharged four-cylinder is a far better value, it's hard to resist the pull of BMW's sweet turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that's standard in the M340i. Because the M340i's starting price is steep, we kept it relatively light with the extras to try to keep the price below $60,000.

The White House has received a package of new sanctions to be imposed on Russia in retaliation for the 2018 nerve-agent attack on a Russian double agent in Britain, Bloomberg reported on Friday. Officials at the U.S. Treasury and State Departments have vetted the sanctions and are awaiting approval from the White House to issue them, Bloomberg said, citing people familiar with the matter. Sergei Skripal, a former colonel in Russia's GRU military intelligence service, and his 33-year-old daughter, Yulia, were found unconscious on a bench in the southern English city of Salisbury in March 2018 after a liquid form of the Novichok type of nerve agent was applied to the front door of Skripal's home.

Trump's Group Health Plan Rules Struck Down as ACA 'End-Run'

U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington on Thursday blocked new rules governing so-called association health plans, or AHPs, which let businesses and individuals band together to create group health plans that offer less expensive coverage than the ACA -- but without some of its protections. It follows twin rulings Wednesday by another Washington judge who blocked administration-sanctioned plans to impose work requirements for some Medicaid recipients in Kentucky and Arkansas. The Justice Department has hardened its opposition to Obamacare in separate litigation, and Trump is seeking to make health care a centerpiece of the Republican agenda going in to the 2020 campaign season.

Apple pulls plug on AirPower wireless charging mat

Apple confirmed on Friday that it will not deliver on its promise of helping usher in a wireless future with an AirPower mat for charging its devices.

How the F-15 Will Become a 'Flying Arsenal' To Help F-22s Wage War

Twenty-six years after McDonnel Douglas — now part of Boeing — delivered the last single-seat F-15C to the Air Force, the flying branch is adding new sensors, communications gear and potentially weapons options that could extend the type's operational relevance into the 2030s and beyond … as a heavily-armed “flying arsenal” supporting the stealthy F-22. As recently as 2009, the Air Force had planned to fully replace its then-400 or so air-superiority F-15s with 381 F-22s, but Robert Gates — the defense secretary at the time — opposed spending tens of billions of dollars on high-tech stealth fighters while the military was fighting bloody ground wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Air Force began mulling upgrades to keep the twin-engine Eagles war-ready for decades to come.

HRW urges New Zealand's Ardern to discuss Muslims in China

A rights group has urged New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to raise concerns about reported Chinese government abuses of Muslims during her upcoming visit to Beijing that was shortened after the killing of 50 worshippers at two mosques in New Zealand. Human Rights Watch said Friday that Ardern "spoke forcefully in defense of Muslims' rights" after the Christchurch attacks and should do so again in Beijing. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese Muslims have been detained without charge in internment camps, where relatives and ex-inmates say they have been subjected to physical abuse and forced to renounce Islam.

Iraq needs three years on Iran power: parliament speaker

Iraq's parliament speaker voiced hope Friday that the United States will keep waiving sanctions on energy purchases from Iran, saying his country will need to import electricity from its neighbor for three years. President Donald Trump's administration has sought to cut off all exports from Iran but has twice granted three-month exemptions to Iraq, mindful of chronic blackouts that have reignited unrest in the war-torn country. "Hopefully this waiver will be extended until Iraq can stand on its feet economically," Speaker Mohammed al-Halbusi said at the US Institute of Peace on a visit to Washington, where he met leaders including Vice President Mike Pence.

Separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine divides young voters

Five years after a deadly separatist conflict broke out in eastern Ukraine, the front line between government forces and Russia-backed separatists has become a de-facto border, cutting off a generation of first-time voters from Sunday's presidential election. Only those who left their homes in the east to live in areas under government control will be able to cast ballots for Ukraine's new president. Since 2014, a separatist war in Ukraine's industrial heartland of Donetsk and Luhansk has killed more than 13,000 people and has prompted many to seek the relative stability of government-controlled areas.

The Manual-Transmission Mazda 6 Is No More for 2019, but It May Not Be Gone for Good

There will be no more manual transmission offered on the 2019 Mazda 6, as all versions of the mid-size sedan now come standard with a six-speed automatic. Mazda says it hopes to be able to offer the manual transmission as a special-order option in the future, but that demand has decreased lately. Mazda has long been a proudly enthusiast-friendly brand, but it's becoming a bit less so for 2019, as the Mazda 6 sedan is dropping its manual-transmission option.

Trump threatens to seal the border if Mexico doesn't 'immediately stop' immigrants

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to close the southern border as soon as next week if Mexico doesn't "immediately" step up its efforts to block immigrants attempting to enter the U.S. illegally. "There's a very good likelihood that I'll be closing the border next week," Trump told reporters gathered at his Florida resort on Friday. Closing the border “is something that would be devastating economically,” said Peter Boogaard, a former Homeland Security official in the Obama administration now working for FWD.us, a group that advocates on immigration and criminal justice.

Trump administration awards $1.7 million family planning grant to anti-abortion group

The non-profit Obria Group, which considers itself an anti-abortion version of Planned Parenthood, says the $1.7 million award it is receiving from the Trump administration will help fund a chain of crisis pregnancy centers that oppose abortion and do not offer contraceptives. At the same time, the Department of Health and Human Services, which announced the grant on Friday, is cutting funds to some Planned Parenthood affiliates. Many women want the opportunity to visit a professional, comprehensive health care facility — not an abortion clinic — for their health care needs; this grant will give them that choice,” Kathleen Eaton Bravo, founder and CEO of The Obria Group, said in a statement.

US struggling with growing number of asylum seekers

Border officials are aiming to more than quadruple the number of asylum seekers sent back over the southern border each day, a major expansion of a top government effort to address the swelling number of Central Americans arriving in the country, a Trump administration official said Saturday. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen asked for volunteers from non-immigration agencies within her department, sent a letter to Congress late this past week requesting resources and broader authority to deport families faster, and she met with Central American and Mexican officials. The efforts are being made while President Donald Trump is doubling down on threats to shutter the U.S.-Mexico border entirely, a move that would have serious economic repercussions for both the U.S. and Mexico but wouldn't stop migrants from crossing between ports.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Thursday he would have the FBI and the Justice Department review "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett's case, even as Chicago residents said the president should stay out of the racially charged incident.

Trump did not explain what, if anything, federal authorities could do about Smollett after local prosecutors in Chicago decided to drop the case against him.

President Donald Trump defended his record on Puerto Rico on Thursday, claiming he has taken care of the U.S. territory better than "any living human being." Trump, who has long been criticized for his administration's handling of Hurricane Maria's impact to the island in 2017, appeared to be responding to comments made by Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló to CNN where he issued a stern warning to Trump's reported questions about slashing disaster funding for the island. "If the bully gets close, I'll punch the bully in the mouth," Rosselló told CNN in an interview.

Kelly's hit ends D-backs' 13-inning win over Dodgers, 5-4

When Kelly finally got to make his debut for the Arizona Diamondbacks, he came through with a hit that stopped a marathon. Kelly delivered a pinch-hit RBI double in the 13th inning, and the Diamondbacks won the longest regular-season game in Dodger Stadium history, 5-4 over Los Angeles. The 6-hour, 5-minute game ended Saturday morning shortly after Kelly came through in his first at-bat since joining the Diamondbacks in the trade that sent franchise cornerstone Paul Goldschmidt to St. Louis.

Cards' Goldschmidt hits 3 HRs, walked intentionally in 9th

Paul Goldschmidt was hoping to swing for baseball history when Brewers manager Craig Counsell took the bat out of his hands. Goldschmidt hit three home runs and then was intentionally walked in the ninth inning, leaving him one shy of the big league record in St. Louis' 9-5 victory over Milwaukee on Friday night.

Jordan Peele's 'Twilight Zone' revival tackles changing 'moral compass' of Trumpian times

Kumail Nanjiani entered a new dimension, one famously not only of sight and sound but of mind, though he didn't want to think too much about being in “The Twilight Zone” until he was safely on the other side. “You try and approach it like any other job, but then it's scary when you go to the office, see the 'Twilight Zone' poster there and you're like, 'Oh no, please hide that!' ” says Nanjiani, who stars in the premiere episode of the classic anthology's latest revival (two episodes available Monday on the CBS All Access streaming service). Rod Serling's iconic show, which first aired from 1959-64, set the standard for marrying twisty sci-fi and horror storytelling with allegory and social commentary.  It now returns with a modern feel but the same cool logo, catchy theme and thematic aim, to entertain and enlighten in equal measure.

Trump seeks to cut foreign aid to 3 Central American nations

Taking drastic action over illegal immigration, President Donald Trump moved Saturday to cut direct aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, whose citizens are fleeing north and overwhelming U.S. resources at the southern border. The State Department notified Congress that it would look to suspend 2017 and 2018 payments to the trio of nations, which have been home to some of the migrant caravans that have marched through Mexico to the U.S. border. Amplified by conservative media, Trump has turned the caravans into the symbol of what he says are the dangers of illegal immigration — a central theme of his midterm campaigning last fall.
