‘Slush fund’: Bill that ended government shutdown also allows US senators to get half $1 million

Tucked away inside the bill signed by President Donald Trump to reopen the federal government on Wednesday is a provision that could make some U.S. senators $500,000 richer. After signing the “Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026” in the Oval Office on Wednesday night, Trump vowed that, with the government reopened, Congress would “continue our work to lower the cost of living, restore public safety, grow our economy, and make America affordable […]

California lawmakers pass landmark bills to atone for racism, but hold off on fund to take action

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California lawmakers this week passed some of the nation’s most ambitious legislation aimed at atoning for a legacy of racist policies that drove disparities for Black people, from housing to education to health.

The Fearless Fund, which provides grants to Black women-owned businesses, recently had its program suspended by a federal appeals court over the claim that it discriminates against white business owners.

Chicago ‘mansion’ tax to fund homeless services faces legal limbo

CHICAGO (AP) — An unusual legal challenge may upend the future of a Chicago ballot measure that would hike a real estate tax on high-end property sales to fund services for homeless people. Such citywide ballot measures are rare in the nation’s third-largest city, but other cities, including Los Angeles, have approved similar so-called “mansion taxes.” A Cook County judge last month rejected the measure, but backers of the effort, called Bring Chicago Home, hope it will be overturned. Supporters of a […]

House Democrats frustrated by short-term bills to fund government

Democratic U.S. House members have voiced frustrations with passing short-term funding bills after Congress last week again pushed through legislation that quelled fears of a partial government coming to fruition. Congress on Thursday sent the stopgap funding bill to President Joe Biden, who signed it on Friday. The Republican-led House approved it on a 314-108 vote, much of the support coming from Democrats as Republicans were split. The measure, which funds federal agencies until March, easily passed the Senate, which […]
