Nikki Haley has won the Republican primary in the District of Columbia, notching her first victory of the 2024 campaign. Her victory Sunday at least temporarily halts Donald Trump’s sweep of the GOP voting contests, although the former president is likely to pick up several hundred more delegates in this week’s Super Tuesday races. Despite her early losses, Haley has said she would remain in the race at least through those contests, although she has declined to name any primary she felt confident she would win. Following her loss in her home state of South Carolina, Haley remained adamant that voters in the places that followed deserved an alternative to Trump despite his dominance thus far in the campaign.
The owners of Hype Beast Kicks, a specialty shoe store in San Fernando, are reeling after a brazen break-in resulted in the theft of approximately $30,000 worth of high-end footwear. This isn’t the first time criminals have targeted the store. In fact, this is the second time in the three years since the store opened that it has been hit. The thieves, armed and masked, smashed their way into the store in the middle of the night, making off with merchandise as if they were kids in a candy store.
The store owners, Mario and his father, are understandably frustrated and feel like they are living in the Wild West. They believe that laws need to be tougher against criminals who commit these types of crimes, as retail crimes seem to be plaguing Southern California.
The surveillance footage captured the criminals arriving in a white sedan and using a large rock to shatter the store’s glass window. The thieves were seen on camera grabbing shoes and causing chaos in the store before fleeing the scene.
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers recently faced off against the Denver Nuggets. James seemingly broke a record in the league during the game, becoming the first player to reach 40,000 career regular-season points. After the game, James spoke about his game that night, saying the milestone was “bittersweet” due to the Lakers’ loss. “Being the first player to do something, it’s pretty cool in this league, just knowing the history, the greats that’s come through the league, and then you see some of the greats on the floor tonight, it was great to compete,” said James.

LeBron continued, “But for me, the main thing, as always, is to win, and I hated that it had to happen in a defeat.”

The Baltimore City Fire Department hosted a multi-agency Fire Safety Neighborhood Sweep Saturday morning, days after a fatal fire claimed the lives of three people, including two children.
City leaders went door to door as part of a fire safety initiative in and around the 3400 block of East Lombard Street in southeast Baltimore.
“A raging fire claimed the lives of three of our Baltimore family members. One family member being lost in a fire is too much, but three is just hard to wrap your mind around,” City Fire spokesman Kevin Cartwright said. “We (knocked) on doors, offering to install free smoke alarms, basic home fire safety inspections, as well as providing a literature to help them know how to keep themselves safe from the dangers of residential structure fires.”
Cartwright said the home where the fatal Highlandtown fire began, did not have working smoke detectors.
“We don’t have to have this happen in our city. We want every single family, every single household, to have a fire safety plan,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott. “But also, everyone in Baltimore should have a working smoke detector because we will give it to you for free.”
Congressional leaders on Sunday unveiled the long-awaited bipartisan bills to fund parts of the government for the rest of fiscal year 2024, setting off a sprint to avert the looming shutdown threat in less than a week. The six spending bills fund a slew of agencies until early fall, including the departments of Agriculture, Interior, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, Veterans Affairs, Energy, Justice, Commerce and Energy.
The Hill reports the 1,050-page package includes more than $450 billion in funding for fiscal year 2024. Lawmakers have until Friday to pass the legislation or risk a partial government shutdown under a stopgap plan President Biden signed into law this week to buy more time for spending talks. The Sunday rollout comes as Congress is behind in finishing up its funding work for fiscal 2024, which began five months ago. said Sunday that both sides were able to reach a funding compromise that will keep “the government open without cuts or poison pill riders.”
However, Republicans are already claiming wins, touting cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the funding package. The GOP-led House and Democrat-led Senate entered negotiations with vastly different bills this year, as House Republicans pursued much more partisan measures with steep cuts to government funding that went beyond budget caps agreed to as part of the debt limit deal brokered last year.
Trump will have all but secured his party’s nomination after Super Tuesday, and Biden will use Thursday’s State of the Union address as a springboard to offer up a vision for a second term to millions of Americans before traveling in the days after the speech to battleground states Pennsylvania and Georgia.
Both men and their campaigns see it as being in their respective best interests for the general election cycle to kick into gear as quickly as possible, albeit for different reasons.
Trump and his team are ready to fully move on from nagging questions about Nikki Haley winning thousands of votes in the GOP primary, and the Trump campaign is eager to fully merge with the Republican National Committee (RNC) so it can bolster its lagging fundraising.
The Biden campaign, meanwhile, has insisted it will benefit once Trump is definitively the GOP nominee, a reality officials have argued millions of Americans have yet to realize.
“The next week is a big week,” said Jim Kessler, vice president of policy at the left-leaning think tank Third Way. “The Republican primary should be over at that point, and the president has the State of the Union. To me, the State of the Union is where Biden kicks off the general election.”
Sixteen states will head to the polls Tuesday to vote in presidential primaries. While Trump and Biden are on a collision course for a rematch in November, Tuesday’s results will allocate enough delegates to solidify that reality.
Haley, a former ambassador to the United Nations, is still in the race, but she has been unable to point to a single state where she can beat Trump.
A challenger to Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott leveled harsh criticism over the spending of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal pandemic aid through the American Rescue Plan Act.
Democratic primary mayoral candidate Thiru Vignarajah on Thursday accused Scott of using Baltimore’s allocation as “a personal slush fund.”
He’s calling for an independent forensic audit to get to the bottom of “unilateral” and “nebulous” distributions to dozens of nonprofit organizations, as well as $2 million to the Service Employees International Union, $15 million to Clean Corps to clean trash in city neighborhoods and $5 million to Lexington Market.
“It’s a thinly veiled political payback in a city that has had it pay-to-play culture for too long,” Vignarajah said.
Fellow Democratic primary challenger and former Baltimore mayor, Sheila Dixon, questioned why Scott didn’t use ARPA funds for roads and bike lanes and to synchronize traffic lights.
“I agree with some of the criticism. It’s clearly a missed opportunity, and it clearly shows the mismanagement of this current administration,” Dixon said. “(The money could have been used on) getting those pools open, recycling would not have stopped. I would have met hiring the private sector to partner with the city while we build up our revenue and our inventory of new trucks, EMS, fire trucks fire stations. There’s a disconnect. It’s about accountability, and it’s about management.”
WBAL-TV 11 News reached out to Scott for an interview. His City Hall office called this a political issue. His re-election campaign office said Vignarajah has not offered “any viable vision” for how he would use ARPA funding.
U.S. authorities have accused another sanitation company of illegally hiring at least two dozen children to clean dangerous meat processing facilities, the latest example of illegal child labor that officials say is increasingly common.
The Labor Department asked a federal judge for an injunction to halt the employment of minors by Tennessee-based Fayette Janitorial Service LLC, saying it believes at least four children were still working at one Iowa slaughterhouse as of Dec. 12.
U.S. law prohibits companies from employing people younger than 18 to work in meat processing plants because of the hazards involved. The Labor Department alleges that Fayette has used underage workers in hazardous conditions where animals are killed and rendered. The agency says children sanitize dangerous equipment, including head splitters, jaw pullers and meat bandsaws.
