The vote broke down along party lines, with Illinois Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger being the only House Republican to vote along with Democrats in favor of the bill. The Senate will now need to approve the proposal, which states that Senate Democrats would have to conduct their simple majority vote by Jan. 15, CNN reported. Congressional Democrats had considered tying the debt ceiling increase to the defense funding bill, but Republicans opposed the idea....
In a congressional document, Democrats in the House of Representatives accused Trump of engaging in high crimes and misdemeanors when he encouraged the “lawless action” that took place at the Capitol on January 6. To actually remove the president, though, Democrats still need to get enough members of their own party, as well as two-thirds of the Senate on board, which is a tall order. Unlike in 2019 when Trump was first impeached, this time legislators are working against a ticking clock....
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer were among several federal lawmakers who issued a statement calling for testimony on Sunday, specifically requesting that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and Robert Duncan, chairman of the USPS Board of Governors, appear at the hearing. It is set to take place on August 24, the same day this year’s Republican National Convention is scheduled to begin. “The President has explicitly stated his intention to manipulate the Postal Service to deny eligible voters access to the ballot in pursuit of his own re-election,” the statement opened....
First, they can maintain the current Biden administration policy by appropriating large sums of aid and effectively subordinating American interests to a Ukrainian government that seeks to drag the U.S. into a war with Russia. Alternatively, they can chart a new course that recognizes the hard realities about the current state of the conflict and America’s ability to support Ukraine. Choosing the former would be a disservice to the American people and an insult to a Republican base that is increasingly wary of open-ended support to Ukraine....
A House GOP witness list and letter first reported on by Fox News on Saturday demands House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff approve the public testimony of several people tied to the Ukraine scandal. The witness list included several figures with alleged damning ties to Biden as well as people involved with the start of the 2016 Trump-Russia investigation. Republican Congressman Devin Nunes penned a letter demanding Democrats give President Donald Trump a public forum to “confront his accusers....
The Houston Parks and Recreation Department tweeted the message Wednesday, saying it’s one way the mayor is encouraging social distancing guidelines. The tweet has since been deleted, but it read: “To encourage social distancing, Mayor Sylvester Turner ordered the Houston Parks and Recreation Department to remove the 492 basketball rims in 192 City of Houston Parks. Thank you to @FOX26Houston for helping us send the message about what we’re doing to keep the public safe,” HPARD tweeted....
But with the coronavirus pandemic canceling plenty of major sporting events, some have wondered whether the NFL will be next. Sports Business Daily reported the NFL season may be delayed with no bye weeks and no Pro Bowl. While the league currently plans to play a full season, it’s way too early to say what will happen. So if something does happen, we thought it’d be fun to see how the season would play out if it were up to “Madden NFL 20....
The first part of the hit K-drama series, which sees a grand robbery and hostage situation take place at a Korean mint, laid the groundwork for the perfect storm that unfolds in the next installment, bringing the masterful crime devised by the Professor (played by Jitae Yu, also spelled Yoo Ji-tae, known from the Oldboy film by acclaimed Korean director Park Chan-wook) into completion.

It would be the culmination of a remarkable run that essentially started in 1995 if the Bulldogs could win a national title while playing in the West Coast Conference. This comes less than a year after Coastal Carolina won the College World Series in 2016 while playing in the Sun Belt. That prompts the easy question. How could we see a story like this unfold in college football, a sport where the odds are stacked against the Group of 5 conferences in the FBS?...
Pituitary Basics The “pituitary” part of this condition refers to the pituitary gland, an organ that sits at the base of the brain. This gland is often referred to as the master gland because it releases a number of hormones into the body. Summarized below is a list of hormones made by the pituitary gland: Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): Stimulates the thyroid gland—located in the neck—to release thyroid hormones, which control how the body makes and uses energy....
Though not all sinus infections require treatment, early diagnosis and treatment (if necessary) can help you feel better sooner and potentially prevent the infection from progressing. Self-Checks Most sinus infections are caused by a viral infection, such as the viruses that cause the common cold. A cold should get better in about a week—that goes for infants, children, and adults. The virus can involve the sinuses and produce nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and clear mucus drainage for as long as 10 days....
The phenomenon is boosting the toxicity of tiny particles called PM2.5s emitted by traffic and industry. The study was published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. Lead author Shuxin Dong, a Ph.D. student at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, said: “These findings suggest particle radioactivity increases the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and enhances the damage from particulate matter.” Dong added: “This must be further investigated and may lead to targeted, cost-effective air quality regulations....
Medical Definition Medically, hearing loss is defined by the results of a hearing test. There are parameters set out to classify someone as either deaf or hard of hearing. A complete hearing test examines how loud sounds across the frequency range have to be in order for you to detect them. It also gauges how well you can understand speech. If you are unable to detect sounds quieter than 90dB HL (decibels Hearing Level), it is considered a profound hearing loss for those frequencies....

Despite residing in the weakest division in the league, they failed to make the playoffs in the two years following their magical run to the 2011 Eastern Conference finals. They were 56-62-12 with a minus-48 goal differential in those two seasons, and despite having two elite players up front and some interesting youngsters on the way, they were a clearly flawed club. Those flaws were only supposed to become more apparent given the NHL's realignment; after all, Tampa Bay was moving from the cake Southeast Division to the Atlantic, with at least four teams that were better on paper than them....
Patient history, a thorough clinical evaluation, symptom identification, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and lab tests, including blood tests and karyotyping (a detailed evaluation of a person’s chromosomes), are typical in the diagnostic process.
