Lawmakers are bracing for what could shape up to be a dramatic few weeks for both parties, as they brace for a high-stakes battle over the nation’s borrowing limit. The Treasury Department said this week that the nation could have until as soon as the start of June before it exhausts the “extraordinary measures” implemented in January to keep the nation from defaulting on its debt. Leaders have warned a default is possible if either side doesn’t budge from their positions as Republicans and Democrats ramp up pressure. However, members on both sides have expressed confidence Congress will strike a deal in time to raise the debt limit, which caps how much money the Treasury can owe to cover the country’s bills. But here’s what could happen if they fail.Social Security, other benefits and pay could be delayedExperts warn a default could mean trouble for individuals relying on a check from the government, whether you’re a Social Security recipient or a federal employee.In a re...

Published Sat, 15 Mar 2025 22:00:58 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Andrew Wiggins returned to the Warriors from a month-plus absence just in time for their first-round series against the Kings. He made an impact, slowing Sacramento’s wings and picking his spots offensively.Now that he’s in the second round, though, he’s facing a bigger challenge. “It’s tough. It’s LeBron,” Wiggins said Wednesday of guarding the Lakers star and four-time MVP. “But I just try to make it hard, stay on him and make every shot a tough shot.”James had 22 points in the Lakers’ Game 1 win Tuesday night — 12 of which were scored when Wiggins was his primary defender, per NBA Advanced Stats.The first game of any series is a feeling-out process, but Wiggins walked away from Wednesday’s film session motivated to “do even more” in Game 2 on Thursday.But the Warriors need Wiggins to be more aggressive on both ends of the floor.Coach Steve Kerr opted to go small near the midw...

Real or not, reported Kremlin drone attack unsettles Russia

Published Sat, 15 Mar 2025 22:00:58 GMT

By Jim Heintz | Associated PressTALLINN, Estonia — As Russian officials tell it, two Ukrainian drones flew into the very heart of Moscow under the cover of darkness, reaching the Kremlin before they were shot down at the last minute.A cloud of questions hangs over the claim.Why did the Kremlin announcement come about 12 hours after the purported incident? Why did no reports of explosions emerge prior to the announcement on the messaging apps that remain full of chatter despite Russia’s crackdown on media and criticism of the war in Ukraine? Why didn’t videos of the purported attacks appear until after the announcement? Why haven’t the images been verified?A drone attack on the Kremlin would be the most severe penetration of Russian airspace since German teen Matthias Rust landed his little single-engine plane on the fringes of Red Square in 1987. Announcing the attack — or even faking it — risks Russia undermining its citizens’ trust in its frequent assertion...

(KRON) -- Botts' dots and a police cruisers were not nearly enough to stop rowdy and wild sideshows from happening in Oakland last weekend. On International Boulevard near 42nd Avenue in East Oakland, dozens of daredevils on dirt bikes popped wheelies and taunted officers who rolled a police cruiser into the middle of a sideshow. Two hot rods were also recorded on video (seen above) performing simultaneous donuts. One young man tumbled out of a spinning convertible but jumped back into the car moments later, undeterred.
