Escaped murderer Danelo Souza Cavalcante stole a rifle from a garage and fled a homeowner's gunfire, authorities said Tuesday as police closed roads in suburban Philadelphia, told residents to lock their doors and set up a new search area in the nearly 2-week-old manhunt.Cavalcante entered the open garage late Monday in the search area northwest of Philadelphia, stole a .22-caliber rifle and ammunition, and fled when the homeowner who was in the garage drew a pistol and shot at him several times, Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said at a news conference Tuesday morning.The developments came in the days after Cavalcante slipped out of an earlier search area to the south in Chester County, stole a dairy delivery truck, and went to the homes of onetime work associates in what police say is Cavalcante's desperate quest for help.About 500 law enforcement personnel are now searching or guarding an 8- to 10-square mile area in a different part of Chester County, near South...

By LISA MASCARO and FARNOUSH AMIRI (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday he is directing a House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden over his family’s business dealings, launching historic proceedings ahead of the 2024 election.McCarthy said the House Oversight Committee’s investigation so far has found a “culture of corruption” around the Biden family as Republicans probe the business dealings of Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, from before the Democratic president took office. “These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption, and they warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives,” McCarthy, R-Calif., said outside the speaker’s office at the Capitol. “That’s why today I am directing our House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.”The announcement comes as the Republican leader ...

Ashton Kutcher reminded of testimony in Los Altos woman’s murder by Danny Masterson accuser

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 20:43:17 GMT

The fall-out continues over Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis’ defense of Danny Masterson, along with outrage the couple sparked with a video they posted in which they tried to apologize for writing glowing character letters ahead of their friend’s sentencing last week to 30 years to life after being convicted of two of three counts of rape.The verdict of the internet is that Kutcher and Kunis failed to show genuine remorse in their allegedly “lawyered” apology video, or authentic concern about “re-traumatizing” Masterson’s victims by calling him their “role model” and by appearing to minimize one key aspect of the women’s testimony — that their friend drugged them before attacking them.It was “incredibly insulting and hurtful,” one of Masterson’s victims said to a journalist. Another accuser, Chrissie Carnell Bixler, went further, going on the offensive and telling Kutcher on Instagram Story: “You...

UC regents meeting to include discussion of Cal’s move into the ACC (which could be costly for UCLA)

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 20:43:17 GMT

The University of California regents will discuss Cal’s move into the Atlantic Coast Conference next week on UCLA’s campus. It’s an appropriate location given that the governing board is expected to consider whether to impose a subsidy on the Bruins — the so-called Berkeley tax, or Cal-imony.The agenda for the Sept. 21 meeting describes the session in this manner: “Discussion: UC Berkeley Atlantic Coast Conference Membership.”Because the session is closed to the public, the regents won’t vote on whether to eventually force UCLA to turn a portion of its Big Ten jackpot into an annual “contribution” to Cal’s athletic department.But sources believe it will be discussed in detail.The controversial issue first surfaced last summer, after UCLA announced it would enter the Big Ten in 2024 (along with USC) and leave its sister campus behind.Expecting the depleted Pac-12 to lose significant media revenue without the Los Angeles mark...

Missouri clinic halts transgender care for minors in wake of new state law

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 20:43:17 GMT

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A Missouri clinic will stop prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors for the purpose of gender transition, citing a new state law that the clinic says “creates unsustainable liability” for health care workers.A statement released Monday by the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital said patients currently receiving care will be referred to other providers. The center will continue to provide education and mental health support for minors, as well as medical care for patients over the age of 18.“We are disheartened to have to take this step,” the statement read. “However, Missouri’s newly enacted law regarding transgender care has created a new legal claim for patients who received these medications as minors. This legal claim creates unsustainable liability for health-care professionals and makes it untenable for us to continue to provide comprehensive transgender care for minor patients without subjectin...
