By Farnoush Amiri and Lindsay Whitehurst | Associated PressWASHINGTON — House Republicans passed a resolution that would repeal a Biden administration rule tightening federal regulations on stabilizing braces for firearms, an accessory that has been used in several mass shootings in the U.S. over the last decade.The resolution passed 219-210 nearly on party lines and after a contentious floor debate where Republicans accused the administration of “executive overreach” and Democrats condemned a bill they said would “help kill people.” Two Democrats voted in support and two Republicans voted against it.The resolution, which was introduced by Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., will now go to the Senate, which could take up the measure as soon as this week. Should it pass, President Joe Biden has promised a veto. Overriding a presidential veto would require two-thirds majorities in the House and Senate.The new rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Ex...

Silicon Valley is an embarrassment of riches for some and a struggle to get by for many who live there, but a report Tuesday puts the gap between rich and poor in the cradle of technology and innovation into stark relief: Just eight households in the region hold more wealth than the 500,000 at the other end of the earnings scale.The Fourth Annual Silicon Valley Pain Index published Tuesday by San Jose State University’s Human Rights Institute features new data that highlights the region’s persistent earnings inequalities and the astronomical concentration of wealth into the hands of a very small number of households and companies.“After producing the Silicon Valley Pain Index for the fourth time, we have a clear understanding of the astronomical wealth gap,” said Scott Myers-Lipton, a San Jose State sociology professor and lead author. “It is time for the community and elected officials to create social solutions to address the ‘social pain’...

Bills’ Allen lists lingering issues from last season as reasons for Diggs skipping practice

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:04:38 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Bills quarterback Josh Allen declined to push the panic button while explaining how unresolved issues stemming from last season led receiver Stefon Diggs to show his displeasure by skipping the team’s start of mandatory practices on Tuesday.Without going into full detail into what exactly is eating at Diggs, Allen listed getting the team’s top receiving threat more involved in the offense and having more game-planning input as among the player’s concerns. The quarterback then placed the onus on himself to do better in what will be an ongoing attempt to get Diggs back in the fold — and the sooner the better for the Bills.“This does not work what we’re doing here without him,” Allen said following practice.“I’ve got his back no matter what and I’ve got no doubt that we will figure out what’s going on. I love him. I can’t stress that enough,” he added, emphasizing his love for Diggs by using a profanity. “I think that there are some things that could have gone...

We had genetic testing done and then scan after scan after scan and then we found it early, and that may have saved my wife’s life.“It can save others.”Williams had been in contact with Pistons general manager Troy Weaver, but dropped out of contention for the Detroit job when his wife was diagnosed.“As we navigated all of that, I was talking to Troy and telling him man, I couldn’t, you know,...
