Uyad Trump campaign manager speaks to The Takeout The federal government agency charged with protecting critical infrastructure and guarding against cybersecurity threats is accused of exceeding its statutory authority in its post-2016-election efforts to monitor domestic social media for evidence of misinformation, disinformation and malinformation, according to a House R epublican-led committee s interim report.The House Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee o n Weaponization of the Federal Government issued a report accusing the Critical Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Agency, or CISA, of facilitating the censorship of Americans directly and through third-party intermediaries. The committee s investigation cites internal Department of Homeland Security emails and meeting notes.The core claims of the 41-page report focus on changes at the agency since the 2016 election. A January 2017 report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence found Russian efforts to influence the election demonstrated a significant escalation in directness, level of activity, and scope of effort compared to previous operations. The report did not assess the impact that Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election. The House Judiciary Committee s report, peppered with politically charged language, alleges that CISA expanded the monitoring of foreign disinformation to all disinformation including Americans speech. House Republicans say concern about CISA s expanded mandate Lbkc Harris pitches herself as pragmatic capitalist as she tries to win more support DRAPER, Utah - More than two years after a 15-year-old girl s battered body was found in a Utah river, police arrested a Colorado teenager in her death Thursday.Authorities say Anne Kasprzak knew the 17-year-old boy, who was arrested Thursday morning in Grand Junction, Colorado.Police did not name the arrested teenager, who they say lived in Utah on March 11, 2012, when Kasprzak was found dead of blunt force trauma to the head. Draper police Chief Bryan Roberts released few details about the investigation at a press confere nce Thursday. He said police never stopped looking for her killer.The girl s mother, Veronica Kasprzak, said the news was overwhelming. It feels incomplete to say that it is any sort of a relief, she said. She said she s hoping in the future she ll be abl e to focus on pleasant memories of her daughter rather than the girl s death.The teenager has been charged with homicide and will be extradited to Utah. Prosecutor Blake Nakamura said it isn t yet clear whether he ll be tried as an adult.Police made two previous arrests i n the case, but officers now say those men had no connection to the girl s death. The ex-convicts, then 31 and 32, were arrested a few weeks after the death, when someone told police they knocked the girl out and drove away with her body.Investigators later said the story was made up by a drug addict who wanted to get back at the pair, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.

Xdbn Judge blocks Michigan order banning open carry of guns at polling places Bradenton has always been a special place for Roberto Clemente and his family. When the Pittsburgh Pirates made it their spring training home, it became a second home for him. Prior to coming here, he had to get in an old station wagon with his minority teammates and travel beside the team because of segregation, Clementes eldest son, Roberto Clemente Jr., said. Clemente could not stay in hotels with his teams, so Pirate City became a safe place for him and others.Now the road that runs in front of Pirate City bears Clemente s name. On Wednesday, Manatee County dedicated the section of 27th S treet East from State Road 64 to 38th Avenue East was renamed Roberto Clemente Memorial Way. Two of Clemente s sons, a former teammate, local officials, and dozens of loc al fans gathered for the dedication at Pirate City. His dedication to excellence, compassion for others, and unwavering commitment to serving his community and nation continue to inspire us all, Roberto Clemente Jr. said. The street designation in his honor is a testament to his remarkable life and the lasting impact on Manatee County and beyond. The Hall of Fame right fielder spend 18 seasons with the Pirates, becoming the 11th member of the 3,000-hi t club 鈥?the first Carribean-born player to do so. His father died on New Year s Eve 1972 in a plane crash, headed from his native Puerto Rico to Nicaragua with a place full of supplies to help earthquake victims.Clemente was also a hero to at least one of his teammates, Qccp Fireball lights up skies over parts of the US, Canada TAMPA, Fla. AP -- Ryan Fitzpatrick has been down this road far more times than the veteran quarterback cares to remember.The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost for the third straight time Sunday, failing to score a touchdown in a 16-3 loss to the Washington Redskins despite gaining 501 yards total offense and only punting once.Fitzpatrick topped 400 yards passing for the fourth time this season, yet he may be headed back to the bench after the team s sixth loss in seven games following a 2-0 start.That means Jameis Winston, benched after throwing four interceptions in a loss at Cincinnati three weeks ago, may be on the verge of getting another chance. We ll talk about all personnel issues Monday , said coach Dirk Koetter, who also may consider changing kickers after Chandler Catanzaro missed two more field goals Sunday, one of them a 30-yarder.One change Koetter s already made is resuming his role as offensive play caller.Offensive coordinator Todd Monken handled the respo nsibility for the first eight games, and the Bucs have the NFL s No. 1 passing attack and rank second in total offense.So, why switch up before Sunday s game Just my own reasons, Koetter said.The Bucs 3-6 have missed the playoffs 10 consecutive seasons, the second-longest drought in the NFL behind the Cleveland Browns, who haven t earned a berth since 2002.Fitzpatrick expects the team to stick together and eventually pull out of the tailspin. Unfortunately for me, I ve been in this situation 13 straight years

Pbli Rubio says tax bill probably went too far in helping corporations A high-profile labor organizer has resigned from Starbucks, saying th e company forced her out because of her union leadership.Jaz Bris ack, a barista who helped lead the unionization of a store in downtown Buffalo, New York mdash; the first Starbucks to form a union mdash; said Wednesday that her last day at the company will be Sept. 18. Since that vote last Decembe r, at least 238 U.S. Starbucks stores have voted to unionize, according to the National Labor Relations Board.In a letter to her manager, which Brisack shared with The Associated Press, Brisack said Starbucks has refused to accommodate her availability requests for seven months. Brisack said that has hurt morale at the store, where her co-workers have had to cover for her when she is absent. Starbucks has deliberately made my continued employment at the company impossible, said Brisack, who has worked at the company for nearly two years. Brisack started working at Starbucks in 2020, after completing a Rhodes Scholarship at the University of Oxford. Since she was a teenager, Brisack has been concerned about the plight of working people, and always planned to work on behalf of the labor movement, she told CBS MoneyWatch in April. Seattle-based Starbucks said it tried to balance Brisack s scheduling requests with the store s staffing needs. The company said Brisack was working around 20 hours per week until May, when she told the store she was only available for 6.5 Fgfu Trump claims he ll extend unemployment benefits through the end of the year President Tr ump, who once called New Hampshire a drug infested den, will travel to the primary state for the first time Monday since the 2016 campaign to unveil his plan to combat the opioid crisis that is killing more than 115 people every day.The president s plan is focused on reducing drug demand, preventing over-prescription by cutting opioid prescriptions by one-third nationwide within three years, calls on Congress to reduce the amount of drugs needed to invoke mandatory minimum sentences for opioid traffickers and urges the Department of Justice to seek the deat h penalty against drug traffickers in certain cases, according to assistant to the president Andrew Bremberg.Bremberg, who briefed reporters on a conference call in advance of Mr. Trump s announcement, could not name specific instances where it would be appropriate for the DOJ to seek the death penalty against drug traffickers and referred reporters to the DOJ. Kellyanne Conway, who was also on the call, called the opioid crisis a non-partisan crisis next door and said resolving the epidemic is a priority for the administration. A senior administ ration official said Mr. Trump s visit Monday to the first in the nation voting state carries no political weight.

Fxve Couple gets married at San Diego Costco The Federal Emergency Management Agency can meet immediate needs but does not have eno ugh funding to make it through the hurricane season, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Wednesday.The agency is being stretched as it works with states to assess damage from Hurricane Helene and delivers meals, water, generators and other critical supplies. The storm struck Florida last week, then plowed through several states in the Southeast, flooding towns and killing more than 160 people.Mayorkas was not specific about how much additional money the agency may need, but his remarks on Air Force One underscored concerns voiced by P resident Joe Biden and some lawmakers earlier this week that Congress may need to pass a supplemental spending bill this fall to help states with recovery efforts. We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting, Mayorkas said. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season. Hurricane season runs June 1 to Nov. 30, but most hurricanes typically occur in September and October.RELATED STORY | New tools help better predict storms and alert the public for hurricane seas onCongress recently replenished a key source of FEMA s response efforts, providing $20 billion for the agency s disaster relief fund as part of a short-term government spending bill to fund the government through Dec. 20.
