Sen. John Fetterman’s Former Campaign Staffers Urge Him to Support Israel-Hamas Ceasefire

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:05:43 GMT

Sixteen former Campaign staffers of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., have penned a letter urging their onetime boss to back a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, telling him that “it is not too late to change your stance and stand on the righteous side of history.”The open letter comes as Fetterman, a consistent supporter of Israel, has defended its war on Gaza and is the latest effort by former or current U.S. government employees urging an end to the violence. On Thursday, Fetterman joined 35 other senators in pushing for “the swift implementation of sustained access for humanitarian aid, including water and medical supplies, to save innocent civilian lives in Gaza,” yet he has been dismissive of his congressional colleagues’ calls for a ceasefire.“Now is not the time to talk about a ceasefire,” Fetterman posted a few days after 13 House Democrats introduced a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. “We must support Israel in efforts to eliminate the Hamas terrorists...

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent will start at quarterback for the Chicago Bears when they host Las Vegas on Sunday with Justin Fields recovering from a dislocated right thumb.The Raiders will also be going with a backup quarterback, with all signs pointing to veteran Brian Hoyer replacing the injured Jimmy Garoppolo.

Chicago (1-5) lost for the 15th time in 16 games, falling 19-13 to the Vikings. Garoppolo missed the second half of a 21-17 win over New England with a back injury.Bagent, who went undrafted last spring after a record-setting career at Division II Shepherd University in West Virginia, is ready for his opportunity.

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — No one will face criminal charges following a two-car crash in Tacoma, Washington, that killed six Arizona residents in July, according to Pierce County prosecutors.A three-month Washington State Patrol investigation into the July 15 crash at the intersection of state Route 509 and Alexander Avenue determined the Arizona residents’ vehicle ran a red light when the crash occurred, the Tacoma News Tribune reported Thursday.The crash happened about 11 a.m., when a Kia Forte sedan holding seven people drove through the intersection and was hit by an eastbound driver in a BMW SUV, according to charging decision documents. The Kia hit a curb, rolled 70 feet (21 meters) and caught fire. Five of the Kia’s occupants were declared dead at the scene, and a sixth died later at St. Joseph Medical Center.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:05:43 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Punished one week, punisher the next.New Zealand winger Mark Tele’a responded to being dropped for the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals with a powerful performance in their semifinal thrashing of Argentina on Friday.Tele’a didn’t score a point in the All Blacks’ 44-6 win, unlike fellow wing Will Jordan who scored three tries, but Tele’a was even more outstanding.His willingness to work, especially around the ruck, ability to get over the gainline and crack the Pumas defense bagged him a brilliant outing in an All Blacks career less than a year old.“Mark was strong in the close-quarter areas and defended really well,” New Zealand coach Ian Foster said.Tele’a had a point to prove after he was axed from the team last week for breaking curfew. The All Blacks weren’t willing to overlook what they called a minor breach of protocol ahead of a monumental quarterfinal with Ireland they were tipped to lose, and made a statement about their princip...

(CNN Español) — Las precampañas rumbo a las elecciones generales en México comienzan dentro de un mes, el 20 de noviembre, de acuerdo con lo que resolvió el Instituto Nacional Electoral (INE).El INE anunció la decisión tras una sentencia del Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación (TEPJF), que le había ordenado ajustar la fecha que originalmente había fijado el Instituto, que era el 5 de noviembre.Este periodo, que se extenderá hasta el 18 de enero, por ley está establecido para que los partidos políticos tengan contiendas internas para definir sus candidaturas.Sin embargo, según analistas consultados por CNN, esta vez la precampaña será “peculiar” porque las dos principales coaliciones, la encabezada por el oficialista Morena y la que conforman los partidos Acción Nacional (PAN), Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) y de la Revolución Democrática (PRD), decidieron con anticipación quienes serán sus candidatas a la presidencia.La coalición PRI-PAN-PRD —denominada ...
