By MARGARET STAFFORD and JIM SALTER (Associated Press)KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — An 85-year-old white man who shot a Black teen at his front door in Kansas City, Missouri, last week has been charged with armed assault, and the Clay County prosecutor said Monday there was a racial component to the case.Prosecuting Attorney Zachary Thompson said at a news conference that Andrew Lester shot 16-year-old Ralph Yarl, who is recovering at home after being released from the hospital on Sunday.When asked if anything was said between Lester and Yarl that made Thompson believe the shooting was racially motivated, Thompson said nothing like that is indicated in charging documents.“We understand how frustrating this has been but I can assure the criminal justice system is working and will continue to work,” Thompson said at a news conference.Yarl was supposed to pick up his two younger brothers last week when he approached the wrong house.

Republicans dig in on debt concessions, Democrats point to Trump precedents

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 01:23:05 GMT

Congressional lawmakers have set themselves on a collision course over the debt ceiling after the Republican Speaker of the House said an increase without cuts won’t fly only to have House Democrats demand an end to what they’re calling  political theater.“Once again, Speaker McCarthy and the GOP are choosing Wall Street over Main Street and hard-working families. Make no mistake: the recklessness on display today directly endangers the financial security of the American people,” House Minority Whip Katherine Clark said in a Monday statement.The Revere Democrat, the second ranking liberal in the House, was responding to a morning assertion by California Rep. Kevin McCarthy in which the Bakersfield Republican said conservatives controlling the lower chamber would not raise the debt ceiling without also attempting to address other concerns.“In the coming weeks, the House will vote on a bill to lift the debt ceiling into the next year, save taxpayers trillions of dollars, make us less ...

Watchdogs, progressives at odds over tax cut plans

The state’s fiscal watch dogs mostly responded to proposals from the House and governor to lower taxes with cautious optimism, setting them at odds with the chagrin displayed by progressive members of state leadership’s own party.“Lawmakers should support Gov. Healey’s proposals to reduce the short-term capital gains tax rate and raise the level at which the estate tax kicks in,” Eileen McAnneny, a senior fellow in economic opportunity at Pioneer Institute in Boston wrote in a Monday op-ed published in the Boston Business journal.Gov. Maura Healey, at the end of February, offered a plan to cut about $750 million in revenue from the state’s coffers in 2024 and nearly $1 billion after that by giving renters, seniors, and parents significant tax breaks. She also proposed a cut to the short term capital gains tax and the estate tax, both of which were also offered by her predecessor last year.Lawmakers in the House and Senate were not inclined to include former Gov. Charlie Baker’s capi...

SAN DIEGO -- "Gray-pril" continues as we start and end this Monday under cloudy skies and cool weather.Stronger onshore flow in San Diego is due to a low-pressure system well to the north of us and will bring us cloudy, cool and breezy weather at the beginning of the week.A deep marine layer has produced some patchy drizzle and morning mist and could do so again overnight into Tuesday morning. Barely any clearing for beaches and inland valleys which brought us unseasonably cooler temperatures.Tuesday is shaping up to be the coolest day of the week with low-60's at the coast, mid-60's inland, low-60's for mountains and low-80's in the deserts.
