McCarthy launches last-ditch plan to keep government open but with steep 30% cuts to many agencies

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:33:11 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy rushed Friday into a last-ditch plan to keep the federal government temporarily open — but with steep spending cuts of nearly 30% to many agencies and severe border security provisions demanded by his hard-right flank though with almost no chance in the Democratic Senate.The package cleared a procedural vote Friday but final passage in the afternoon was uncertain, testing whether the embattled McCarthy has the support he needs from his slim Republican majority. So far, the right flank has rejected his efforts as they push McCarthy closer to their demands, threaten his ouster and risk a government shutdown.The Republican speaker all but dared his hold-out colleagues to oppose it a day before Saturday’s almost certain shutdown. The bill would keep operations open through Oct. 31.“Every member will have to go on record where they stand,” the Republican McCarthy said at the Capitol.Asked if he had the votes, McCarthy quipped, “We̵...

PARIS — French and German defense companies are setting up local shops in Ukraine for arms maintenance — a first step toward manufacturing weapons in the country. This week, Germany’s Federal Cartel Office gave the green light to a proposed joint venture between Rheinmetall, a German arms maker, and the Ukrainian Defense Industry, a Ukrainian state-owned defense group. France’s Armed Forces Minister Sébastien Lecornu traveled to Kyiv this week with about 20 French defense contractors — reportedly including Thales, MBDA, Nexter and Arquus — to facilitate partnerships with Ukrainian officials. On Friday, the Ukrainian capital hosted the Defense Industries Forum, an arms fair attended by 165 defense companies from 26 countries. At the event, Ukrainian officials met directly with defense companies to sign contracts without going through Western governments, explore joint production opportunities and provide specific input about their needs on the ground in the fight ...

Column: The Chicago Cubs’ postseason fate could be decided in overtime — a fitting ending to a turbulent season

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:33:11 GMT

Major League Baseball decided last year to end the tradition of Game 163 tiebreaker games when it added a third wild-card team in each league.But this season could give us Game 162 1/2 — or perhaps Game 162 1/9 — thanks to the suspended game Thursday night in New York between the Mets and Miami Marlins.The Chicago Cubs woke up Friday to the news they might have to wait until Monday to find out their postseason fate.In a season as crazy as this, the possibility of overtime seems like the perfect ending for a Cubs team that has gone from 10 games under .500 to playoff contender to potentially collapsing with 13 losses in 19 games down the stretch.The Marlins had just taken a 2-1 lead over the Mets in the ninth inning when rain halted the game, eventually resulting in the suspension. They scored the go-ahead runs off reliever Anthony Kay, whom the Cubs designated for assignment earlier this month and the Mets claimed off waivers.The Marlins gained a half-game on the Cubs ...
