But so far there’s been little clarity on what law enforcement knew before the riots that caused millions in property damage, threatened priceless Capitol artifacts and forced the federal government to consider the long-term mental effects on its employees. “While the physical scarring and damage to our magnificent Capitol building can be detected and repaired, the emotional aspects of the events of January 6 are more difficult to notice and treat,” Catherine Szpindor, chief administrative officer of the U....

With more than $80 million cash on hand—$28 million more than this point during the 2018 election cycle—Democrats have positioned themselves exceptionally well for this November to defend the dozens of House seats they flipped two years ago and to retain control of the chamber. “Freshmen Democrats will have the resources to get the jobs done,” Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.), chairwoman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), told Newsweek in an interview....

With razor-thin majorities in both chambers and GOP opposition, Democratic leaders are facing a difficult path in advancing a sweeping infrastructure package that’s key to President Joe Biden’s agenda. Both bills are stuck in Congress, with Democrats in disagreement over the size and priorities that should be included in the larger package. “I would say we’re probably going to slip past the Sept. 27 date, sometime into early October would be my best guess,” Yarmuth, the House budget chair, said on Fox News Sunday....

The bill passed in a bipartisan vote of 359 to 57 and could ensure that the government will stay funded until December 11, staving off a shutdown before the November 3 elections. The bill also allows some governmental agencies with 30 days of additional operational funds in case of a potential shutdown after December 11. Now the Senate must approve their own measure before government funding expires on September 30, shutting down large portions of the government....

U.S. Representative Jim McGovern, a Massachusetts Democrat who chairs the House Rules Committee, told Newsweek the change comes from a growing distrust among members and increased safety concerns after supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol to disrupt the certification of President Joe Biden’s election. “There’s a lot of unease among some of our members in light of the terrible thing that happened January 6,” McGovern said. In the days after the riots, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had new metal detectors installed at the members’ entrance to the chamber....

The DOJ’s office of inspector general, headed by Michael Horowitz, concluded in a lengthy report on Thursday, as part of a broader ongoing probe into the origins of the Russia investigation, that Comey “violated department and FBI policies” in leaking documents containing unclassified information to the press after he was fired that detailed private conversations he had with Trump as president and a candidate. “Because Comey’s compilation and dissemination of sensitive FBI information led directly to two-plus years of political turmoil and vitriolic partisan attacks on the President, the OIG’s report demands congressional attention,” GOP Representatives Jim Jordan, the committee’s top Republican, and Mark Meadows wrote to Cummings in a letter....

As the National Association of Realtors opened this fall’s gathering in New Orleans last weekend, the mood was decidedly different. The much-celebrated real estate boom has officially ended; nationally, economists now say, the housing market peaked in August 2005. For 2006, the industry expects existing-home sales to fall by 9 percent, and new-home sales to decline 17 percent. In some markets, prices have begun to fall, too. Realtors are a professionally upbeat group, and their trade association is sometimes criticized for parsing data to present a too-positive spin....

On CNBC’s Squawk Box on Thursday he spoke about upcoming and ongoing issues in the economy overall and the housing market. He said: “The Consumer Price Index, the data they are looking at is old data. “All they have to do is call Doug McMillon at Walmart, call any of the real estate fellas and ask what is happening to our apartment rents. “The economy is braking hard, CEO confidence is also miserable....

“Today, we are announcing the first three businesses for our city’s wall of shame,” Sylvester wrote in his tweet. “The three businesses include Spire Club, Prospect Park, and Pour Behavior.” Spire Club is a reception hall that came under criticism after weekend photos showed patrons crowding the venue without wearing face masks or observing social distancing. Prospect Park and Pour Behavior are sports bars that both had their licenses suspended for 30 days on Friday after allegedly failing to comply with regulations designed to slow the spread of COVID-19....

Sampson and the Cougars faithful were upset about a non-call on a last-second shot block by Alabama’s JD Davison to preserve the Crimson Tide’s 83-82 victory in Tuscaloosa, Ala. — a play that could have been called goaltending. It was a close call, but the ball appeared to be falling away from the basket and wasn’t above the circle of the rim, which suggests the no-call was correct.

All these different versions of the Joker serve to complicate the DC Cinematic Universe, with each version having its own canon and links to other films. The new film version of Joker, however, tries to abandon this complex cinematic history in order to allow the character to stand by itself. At a Toronto International Film Festival Q&A, director Todd Phillips said: “It’s not really connected to that [DC Movie] Universe and it was really intentionally not....

Tall el-Hammam is believed to be the inspiration for the Biblical city of Sodom, meaning that the space rock’s explosion or “airburst” could be behind the story of the destruction of this city in the Old Testament. The explosion over Tall el-Hammam was great enough to level the ancient city, flattening its palace, mudbrick structures, and the wall that ringed the city, a paper published in Nature Scientific Reports said....

The goal AHI in treatment may differ from the baseline scale used for diagnosis and it may be important to consider other outcomes. Review the definitions and terminology, how AHI is measured in testing and treatment, and how other considerations may be important to assess an individual’s response to interventions. What Is AHI? Regardless of the type of sleep apnea (obstructive or central), the severity of the condition is determined based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)....

Erupting in the fourth quarter, Horford scored 16 of his playoff career-high 30 points in the final period to help lead Boston to a 116-108 Game 4 victory over Milwaukee. The series is now tied up at 2-2 and shifts to Boston for Game 5 on Wednesday. Horford’s surprising offensive onslaught seemed to have originated from a play early in the third quarter. Antetokounmpo threw down a one-handed dunk on the Celtics veteran big man and then afterwards, taunted him with a sneering stare down....
