McCarthy's out. So, what happens next?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:49:02 GMT

WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif, became the first House speaker in U.S. history ousted from the position; but now, the biggest question is what happens next.Without an elected House speaker, Congress will not be able to hold votes, and bills cannot be brought to the floor. This means nothing can be done with border security, Ukraine funding or government spending until an election is held. However, committees can still meet and congressional hearings can continue. Following the vote, McCarthy announced he would not be running for speaker again. Now, no clear leader has emerged for House Republicans in the wake of this. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., motioned to remove McCarthy on Monday after the House passed a short-term government spending bill this past weekend with Democrat support and without deep spending cuts or Republican provisions for border security.On Tuesday, all Democrats and eight Republicans voted to remove McCarthy as speaker. Gaetz even continued t...

Mr. Touchdown: San Jose State Spartans’ Robinson has a nose for the end zone

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:49:02 GMT

SAN JOSE — Kairee Robinson only needed one good leg to make Alonzo Carter a believer.Sitting next to NFL All-Pro running back Maurice Jones-Drew and legendary De La Salle head coach Bob Ladouceur in the Owen Owens Field stands, Carter watched Robinson, then a Spartans senior, rush for over 100 yards on a broken ankle. Carter, San Jose State’s running backs coach, knew he had to offer the five-foot-seven, 190-pound running back a scholarship. He did just that a week later.“Just to see him out there leading his team even though he was injured, was amazing to see,” Carter recalled of his first impression of Robinson. “He gives you all he got. He has the warrior mentality and leaves it all on the field.”Fast forward five years, and Robinson is on track to have his best season as a San Jose State Spartan and is quickly moving up the SJSU record book.San Jose State’s Kairee Robinson (32) runs for 44-yards against Hawaii’s Meki Pei (28), in the fourth quarter Saturday, No...

Will the Gilroy Police Department’s new feedback feature reach the residents who need it?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:49:02 GMT

The Gilroy Police Department launched new survey software this week that seeks to get feedback about officers’ interactions with the public. GPD officials hope the new surveys will help them to police smarter and more effectively, but some community members aren’t convinced it’s the best approach.Surveys will be sent after certain service calls, such as when police respond in person. The caller will receive a text message in English and Spanish to the number that they called from, with a link to a short survey that includes questions about their interaction with the department and some demographic information, and provides an opportunity to comment.A community survey will also be available for community members who are interested in providing general comments about the department.My90, the company that created the survey software, collects and anonymizes the data, then sends a report back to the department to help identify trends that might point to positive or negative feedba...
