WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate approved a measure Wednesday that would reinstate tariffs on solar panel imports from several Southeast Asian countries after President Joe Biden paused them in a bid to boost solar installations in the U.S. Lawmakers also were set to vote on a separate plan to undo federal protections for the lesser prairie chicken, a rare grouse that’s found in parts of the Midwest and Southwest, including one of the country’s most prolific oil and gas fields.The two measures are part of efforts by newly empowered Republicans to rebuke the Democratic president and block some of his administration’s initiatives, particularly on the environment. Republicans control the House and have strong sway in the closely divided Senate, where California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein remains out for health reasons and conservatives such as Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., often side with the GOP.Congress voted earlier this year to block a clean water rule imposed by the Environme...

As for a third gang, the Lows, from a different part of north Minneapolis, he said charges against them are coming.“Today’s announcement marks a fundamental change in how we address gang violence. Starting with these charges, we are prosecuting street gangs as the criminal organizations they are,” Luger said.

(AP) — A Silicon Valley city councilman accused of leaking a confidential grand jury report criticizing the San Francisco 49ers’ outsize political influence and then lying about the leak pleaded not guilty Wednesday.

He had declined to enter a plea when he made his first court appearance last month, saying he wanted to find a lawyer other than Christopher Montoya, his appointed public defender, the Bay Area News Group reported. Becker was still being represented by Montoya when he pleaded not guilty plea Wednesday, however. “First-time impressions of a case are often wrong or incomplete,” he told reporters afterward.Becker, whose next court date is Aug. 2, was indicted in April and faces four years in county jail if convicted on the perjury charge. He is accused of providing the secret report to t...

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:49:04 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Christian Walker homered twice before he drew a bases-loaded walk that put the Arizona Diamondbacks ahead to stay in a 12-7 win Wednesday over the AL West-leading Texas Rangers, who had their four-game winning streak snapped. Walker put the Diamondbacks ahead 3-1 with his three-run homer in the third, added a solo shot in the fifth that chased Texas starter Andrew Heaney and walked on four pitches from Jose Leclerc in the seventh that drove in the run that snapped a 7-7 tie. “Proud of myself there for some discipline,” Walker said.“I think young Christian Walker probably goes up there in swing mode. But mature, experienced Christian Walker says you got to throw him straight strikes,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “Leclerc has really good stuff. And the scouting report tells us that when it’s missing, it’ll be consistent, so make him throw strikes.”Leclerc, a former closer, had just also walked Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on four pitches, before missing on four straight...
