Bob Menendez, citing &#39;emotional toll,&#39; seeks sentencing delay<br/>==========<br/><br/>Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez requested a delay for his sentencing on bribery charges, originally scheduled for January 29, 2025, due to the emotional impact on his family during his wife Nadine&#39;s trial, which begins January 21, 2025. His lawyers argued that the overlap could prejudice Nadine&#39;s trial. Menendez was convicted on July 16, 2024, on 16 charges including bribery and obstruction of justice. Prosecutors allege the couple received nearly $150,000 in gold and $480,000 in cash from three businessmen in exchange for political favors.

Newsom has vetoed two bills from the Legislative Black Caucus aimed at compensating Black residents for property lost due to racially motivated eminent domain seizures, stating that reparations should encompass more than cash payments. An online survey from UC Berkeley found that voters oppose state-issued reparation payments, which could cost upwards of $800 billion.<br/><br/>#California #GavinNewsom #Slavery #Reparations #Apology #BlackResidents #LegislativeBlackCaucus #RacialEquity #HistoricalRacism #Policy<br/><br/><a href="https://thenationaldesk.com/news/nation-world/newsom-signs-apology-for-slavery-bucks-reparations-payments-california-sacramento-racism-racial-equity-reparation-payment-cash-los-angeles-san-francisco-golden-state-news-black-white-race">https://thenationaldesk.com/news/nation-world/newsom-signs-apology-for-slavery-bucks-reparations-payments-california-sacramento-racism-racial-equity-reparation-payment-cash-los-angeles-san-francisco-golden-state-news-black-white-race</a> 2024-09-27T18:47:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswk8k499jzsv9fjls8fzejamrv5wg6utszh9u09jp78kphvmvzerqzyzfs5zwvw53s2sdn0wsc0yygng2u3f4skmhkfkj49kqqlu6c0zdj5nd52xq JD Vance offers message to Michigan voters as campaigns blitz swing states<br/>==========<br/><br/>Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance campaigned in Big Rapids, Michigan on August 27, 2024, focusing on economic issues and local frustrations regarding a China-linked electric vehicle battery plant; Vance emphasized his personal background and the need for economic stability, proposing energy independence and stricter immigration policies; GOP Rep.

The demonstration was part of a multi-U.S. city effort to demand the Biden administration cease providing support to Israel during its war with Hamas. The protesters aimed to disrupt economic logistical hubs to send a monetary message to the federal government. Videos of the Hezbollah flag waver sparked outrage, with some arguing the actions prove the protesters &#39;don&#39;t just hate Israel, they hate America too.&#39; Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based militant group, was designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. in 1997 and has been involved in several anti-U.S. attacks. Multiple protesters were arrested in New York City and disruptions were reported in San Francisco and Chicago as well.<br/><br/>#Propalestine #Hezbollah #NewYorkStockExchange #Israel #Gaza #Hamas #MiddleEastConflict #Terrorism #NewYorkCity #Chicago #SanFrancisco #Ceasefire<br/><br/><a href="https://thenationaldesk.com/news/americas-news-now/pro-palestine-protester-waves-terrorist-flag-in-front-of-new-york-stock-exchange-hezbollah-lebanon-israel-gaza-hamas-middle-east-conflict-terrorism-new-york-city-chicago-san-francisco-ceasefire">https://thenationaldesk.com/news/americas-news-now/pro-palestine-protester-waves-terrorist-flag-in-front-of-new-york-stock-exchange-hezbollah-lebanon-israel-gaza-hamas-middle-east-conflict-terrorism-new-york-city-chicago-san-francisco-ceasefire</a> 2024-04-15T22:42:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw8g7fu24jaeeak2584dskynfxzy7hqz8jx7jql4cvafl8l69ttqqzyzfs5zwvw53s2sdn0wsc0yygng2u3f4skmhkfkj49kqqlu6c0zdj58ehc85 Fact Check Team: New legislation aims to enact harsher penalties for sex crimes, abuse<br/>==========<br/><br/>New legislation is being proposed to enact harsher penalties for sex crimes and abuse.
