Apoyaremos a víctimas para que Egipto las indemnice: Peña Nieto
Enrique Peña Nieto indicó que la repatriación de los ocho mexicanos muertos en Egipto ocurrirá la próxima semana y señaló que los cuerpos permanecen en ese país con el propósito de no entorpecer las investigaciones y el proceso legal.
Por primera ocasión, el Gobierno del Distrito Federal entregó el reconocimiento ‘Ángel de la Ciudad’ a personas que participaron en labores de rescate de víctimas de los sismos de 1985.
El gobernador de Jalisco, Aristóteles Sandoval Díaz, arremetió en contra del gobierno de Egipto, y dijo que si en breve no se da la información clara sobre lo ocurrido con los mexicanos asesinados y heridos tras un ataque militar, México debe romper relaciones con ese país.

President Trump visits McAllen, Texas to meet with Border Patrol agents on immigration, border security.
President Donald Trump told Fox News on Thursday that he has “the absolute right to declare a national emergency” if he can’t reach an agreement with congressional Democrats to provide funding for his promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
“The law is very clear. I mean, we have the absolute right to declare a national emergency,” Trump told Sean Hannity in an exclusive interview. “This is a national emergency, if you look what’s happening.”
Trump did not lay out a specific timetable for when he might take such a step, saying: “I think we’re going to see what happens over the next few days.” However, he appeared to hold out hope for making a deal to secure wall funding and fully reopen the government.
“We should be able to make a deal with Congress,” the president said. “If you look, Democrats, in Congress, especially the new ones coming in, are starting to say, ‘Wait a minute, we can’t win this battle with Trump, because of the fact that it’s just common sense. How can we say that a wall doesn’t work?’”
The president spoke to Fox News on the banks of the Rio Grande, where he traveled to argue his claim that a barrier would deter drug and human trafficking into the United States.
“Death is pouring through,” Trump said. “We have crime and death and it’s not just at the border. They get through the border and they go and filter into the country and you have MS-13 gangs in places like Los Angeles and you have gangs all over Long Island, which we’re knocking the hell out of. There should be no reason for us to have to do this. They shouldn’t be allowed in and if we had the barrier, they wouldn’t be allowed in.”
The president said a wall would be “virtually a hundred percent effective and [House Speaker] Nancy [Pelosi] and [Senate Democratic Leader] Chuck [Schumer] know that, but it’s politics. It’s about the 2020 campaign, it’s about running for president. That’s what they’re doing. They’re already doing it. It’s a shame. They’ve got to put the country first.”
Democrats repeatedly have refused to approve any legislation to fund the wall. The standoff led to the partial government shutdown, which is set to his the three-week mark Friday.
“Everyone wants us to win this battle,” Trump said. “It’s common sense … Look, we’re not going anywhere. We’re not changing our mind because there’s nothing to change your mind about. The wall works [and] if we don’t have a steel or concrete barrier, we’re all wasting a lot of time.”
The fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants continued into its ninth day Tuesday, with two Thai workers killed at a packaging plant in southern Israel overnight by rockets fired from Gaza, according to Israeli authorities. Health officials in Gaza recorded no overnight deaths in the Palestinian enclave for the first time since the violence began on May 10.
Mounting international calls for a cease-fire, including from U.S. President Joe Biden, went ignored as shelling and rocket attacks continue from both sides.
Israel’s military reported that 62 of its fighter jets dropped 110 guided bombs onto the Gaza Strip overnight and into Tuesday, saying its targets included Hamas leaders, its tunnel network and rocket launchpads. It also said that 90 rockets had been fired from Gaza overnight, making the latest total 3,440 rockets, the majority of which caused no casualties.
In Jerusalem, the Israeli-occupied West Bank and elsewhere in Israel, Palestinian protesters held a strike in support of Gaza.
Israel has said it would continue its offensive to take out Hamas and Islamic Jihad — U.S.-designated terrorist organizations — the former of which also governs the Gaza Strip, a 140-square mile strip of land housing 2 million people that has been under Israeli blockade since 2007.
But Israel’s offensive, which it says is targeted at Hamas, has led to 213 Palestinian deaths in Gaza as of Tuesday afternoon, including 61 children and 36 women, according to Gaza authorities. The violence between Israelis and Palestinians is the worst in the region in seven years, and Sunday — which saw Israeli fighter jets level three buildings in Gaza — has been the deadliest day since the latest hostilities began.
Rocket attacks from Hamas and Islamic Jihad have also continued. Israeli strikes on what it says are Hamas tunnel networks have collapsed underneath Palestinian homes, leaving families buried in rubble. Ten people have died in Israel, including two children, Israeli authorities said Monday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised address Sunday that Israel “wants to levy a heavy price” from Gaza’s Hamas leaders and that its offensive on the blockaded territory would “take time.” In a phone call between Biden and Netanyahu on Monday, the U.S. president reportedly called for a cease-fire, but did not demand an immediate stop to the violence from Israel’s military.
“The IDF [Israel Defense Forces] is not talking about a cease-fire. We’re focused on the firing,” Israeli military’s chief spokesman, Brig. Gen. Hidai Zilberman, told the country’s Army Radio station on Tuesday.
On May 5, before full-scale hostilities erupted but amid growing protests and clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces, the Biden administration notified Congress of an intended sale of $735 million in precision-guided weapons to Israel, Reuters reported. Israel is the single largest beneficiary of U.S. military aid, at $3.1 billion annually. The State Department did not immediately reply to a CNBC request for comment.
The search for Gabby Petito continues—as does a separate search for fiancée, Brian Laundrie, thousands of miles away. On Saturday, the Denver FBI announced it has extended the search for Petito to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
Petito, 22, is believed to have gone missing while visiting the park with Laundrie in August. She was first reported missing on September 11.
She was reportedly last seen on August 24 at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Salt Lake City. The couple had been making their way from Utah’s Arches National Park to Grand Teton. It was during this trip that she was last in contact with her family via Facetime on August 25.
The FBI confirmed the extension of the search via Twitter on Saturday. The bureau also urged the public to “maintain distance from any law enforcement personnel, equipment, vehicles, and their related activity” while the investigation is being conducted.
“The #FBI and our partners at the National Park Service, Teton County Sheriff’s Office & Jackson Police Department are currently conducting ground surveys in areas of Grand Teton National Park that are relevant to the investigation into Gabrielle Petito’s disappearance,” the tweet reads.
Grand Teton National Park covers around 310,000 acres in northwest Wyoming.
Meanwhile, the search continues for Laundrie, 23, in North Port, Florida. His family reported him missing in the town on Friday. Since then, dozens of FBI agents, police officers and others have been canvassing the Carlton Reserve, which spans over 24,000 acres in Venice, Florida.
Speaking to Fox News reporters, a man who lives near Carlton Reserve said that its waters are full of alligators.
“There’s just so much area here,” the man can be heard to say in a video posted to Twitter, in response to a question about the challenges facing law enforcement in its search for Laundrie. Shortly after this, he points out an alligator visible in a nearby body of water.
Police have been bringing search dogs and amphibious swamp buggies to aid in their search of Carlton Reserve.
While Laundrie’s condition remains unknown, Petito’s family have said they believe he is “hiding” to evade law enforcement and is not missing in the same way that their daughter is believed to be.
“Brian is not missing, he is hiding. Gabby is missing,” the family said through the law office representing them.

Earlier this week, the Moab City Police Department in Utah released body-cam footage from an interaction with the couple on August 12. Officers had been responding to an altercation between the two, with Petito claiming that Laundrie had locked her out of their van and told her to calm down. The two were advised to “stay away from each other” for the remainder of that night.
Petito had been active prior to her disappearance as a travel YouTuber working in the “van life” genre.
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Over the weekend, the country moved a step closer to $1,400 stimulus checks hitting bank accounts as the House approved a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill that was championed by President Joe Biden.
The big question now: How quickly will the measure move through the Senate and could we see those direct payments this month?
“We have no time to waste,” Biden said on Saturday. “We act now — decisively, quickly and boldly — we can finally get ahead of this virus.”
Democratic leaders hope to spend two weeks debating the relief package and get it to Biden’s desk before the most recent emergency jobless benefits end on March 14. If that happens, it’s possible the U.S. Treasury Department could get direct payments processed in a matter of days — meaning you could see money this month.
However, quite a bit has to happen before then. Senate Democrats seem bent on resuscitating a $15 per hour minimum wage push and fights could erupt over state aid and other issues.
While the Senate is expected to try and make changes to the bill, the House proposal calls for $1,400 stimulus checks to go to the same Americans who received direct payments in round two of coronavirus relief.
If you need a refresher, anyone who made $75,000 or less will get the full amount — and couples earning $150,000 or less will get $2,800 in relief payments. As your income level increases above those thresholds, the amount you will receive decreases. The current plan calls for a phase out of direct payments for single people earning $100,000 and couples earning $200,000.
Republican leaders and even some Democratic lawmakers have called for and proposed lower thresholds to ensure the direct payments are targeted to Americans who need them the most. However, Biden has pushed back at that.
In addition to the $1,400 payments, the bill would extend emergency unemployment benefits through August and increase tax credits for children and federal subsidies for health insurance.
It also provides billions for schools and colleges, state and local governments, COVID-19 vaccines and testing, renters, food producers and struggling industries like airlines, restaurants, bars and concert venues.
Moderate Democratic Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Kurt Schrader of Oregon were the only two lawmakers to cross party lines. That sharp partisan divide is making the fight a showdown over whom voters will reward for heaping more federal spending to combat the coronavirus and revive the economy atop the $4 trillion approved last year.
The battle is also emerging as an early test of Biden’s ability to hold together his party’s fragile congressional majorities — just 10 votes in the House and an evenly divided 50-50 Senate.
At the same time, Democrats were trying to figure out how to assuage liberals who lost their top priority in a jarring Senate setback Thursday.
That chamber’s nonpartisan parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, said Senate rules require that a federal minimum wage increase would have to be dropped from the COVID-19 bill, leaving the proposal on life support. The measure would gradually lift that minimum to $15 hourly by 2025, doubling the current $7.25 floor in effect since 2009.
Hoping to revive the effort in some form, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is considering adding a provision to the Senate version of the COVID-19 relief bill that would penalize large companies that don’t pay workers at least $15 an hour, said a senior Democratic aide who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations.
That was in line with ideas floated Thursday night by Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., a chief sponsor of the $15 plan, and Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden, D-Ore., to boost taxes on corporations that don’t hit certain minimum wage targets.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., offered encouragement, too, calling a minimum wage increase “a financial necessity for our families, a great stimulus for our economy and a moral imperative for our country.” She said the House would “absolutely” approve a final version of the relief bill because of its widespread benefits, even if it lacked progressives’ treasured goal.
While Democratic leaders were eager to signal to rank-and-file progressives and liberal voters that they would not yield on the minimum wage fight, their pathway was unclear because of GOP opposition and questions over whether they had enough Democratic support.
House Ways and Means Committee Chair Richard Neal, D-Mass., sidestepped a question on taxing companies that don’t boost pay, saying of Senate Democrats, “I hesitate to say anything until they decide on a strategy.”
Progressives were demanding that the Senate press ahead anyway on the minimum wage increase, even if it meant changing that chamber’s rules and eliminating the filibuster, a tactic that requires 60 votes for a bill to move forward.
“We’re going to have to reform the filibuster because we have to be able to deliver,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., another high-profile progressive, also said Senate rules must be changed, telling reporters that when Democrats meet with their constituents, “We can’t tell them that this didn’t get done because of an unelected parliamentarian.”
Traditionalists of both parties — including Biden, who served as a senator for 36 years — have opposed eliminating filibusters because they protect parties’ interests when they are in the Senate minority. Biden said weeks ago that he didn’t expect the minimum wage increase to survive the Senate’s rules. Democrats narrowly hold Senate control.
Pelosi, too, seemed to shy away from dismantling Senate procedures, saying, “We will seek a solution consistent with Senate rules, and we will do so soon.”
The House COVID-19 bill includes the minimum wage increase, so the real battle over its fate will occur when the Senate debates its version over the next two weeks.
Democrats are pushing the relief measure through Congress under special rules that will let them avoid a Senate GOP filibuster, meaning that if they are united they won’t need any Republican votes.
It also lets the bill move faster, a top priority for Democrats who want the bill on Biden’s desk before the most recent emergency jobless benefits end on March 14.
But those same Senate rules prohibit provisions with only an “incidental” impact on the federal budget because they are chiefly driven by other policy purposes. MacDonough decided that the minimum wage provision failed that test.
Republicans oppose the $15 minimum wage target as an expense that would hurt businesses and cost jobs.
EL PASO, Texas – In El Paso, an estimated 15 million cars cross the U.S.-Mexico border each year. Some 7 million people walk through the ports of entry. Hundreds of thousands of trucks containing raw materials and finished goods rumble across the border. But what if all that were to stop, if President Trump follows through on his threats to close the border crossings?
“It gives me heartburn,” said Dee Margo, the mayor of El Paso. “It is critical our borders remain open.”
On the border, crossings are big business. El Paso is a huge land port. Margo, a Republican, told Fox News there are close to 100 Fortune 500 companies with factories just over the border in Juarez. Raw materials from the United States go to the factories in Mexico and finished goods come back to the U.S.
But it’s not just business. It’s also personal.

Ruby Contreras lives in El Paso with her 3-year old daughter. She told Fox News, “I’m worried because I have my family over there and it’s hard for them to come over here.” She visits regularly and worries about her family if she couldn’t visit.
Sebastian Carrasco, a 19-year old student who lives in Juarez, but goes to school in El Paso, explained: “There’s people in El Paso who come and go every day. Every day.”
Most border towns are just like El Paso, with many people living, working and shopping on both sides of the border. To them, closing it would be unthinkable.
“It stops lives,” said Carrasco. “That’s what it does. It stops lives.”

If the ports of entry shut down, trade experts have cautioned the impacts would reach far beyond border towns.
“Mexico is a significant trading partner with the United States and an even greater percentage with Texas,” said Margo. As for a border shutdown? “We can’t afford that.”
Many other Americans will feel the pinch as well, experts have said. Almost half of all vegetables and 40 percent of all fruits imported into the U.S. come from Mexico.
In addition, Mexico is the third-largest trading partner with the US, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative said. In 2017, an estimated $615.9 billion was traded between the two countries.
Daniela Torres, originaria de Managua, obtuvo la corona en el certamen de belleza Miss Nicaragua 2015. Además, obtuvo cinco premios más en la etapa preliminar del concurso realizado en el Teatro Nacional Rubén Darío.
Una docena de beldades compitieron por ser la más bella de Nicaragua. De ellas, solo seis pasaron a la etapa de preguntas. Entre el público, los organizadores escogieron preguntas hechas a través de las redes sociales. Los temas cuestionados estuvieron relacionados con belleza, seguridad, el papel de la mujer en la política y autoestima.
A Torres le tocó hablar sobre los retos de su vida, a lo que respondió que el mayor reto lo había vivido hace dos años, cuando se sometió a una cirugía de corazón abierto. Una vez elegida como la reina de belleza, dedicó su corona a las personas con enfermedades coronarias.
¿Cuál fue tu principal motor para ser parte de Miss Nicaragua 2015?
En Octubre del 2012, me enfrente con una cruda realidad. Fui sometida a una operación de corazón abierto que me amenazó la vida. Durante mi tratamiento, recibí una cantidad enorme de apoyo que sin eso, no creo que hubiera logrado recuperarme. Siento que ahora es mi oportunidad de ayudar a otros y pienso hacerlo por medio de Miss Nicaragua ya que es una plataforma que nos expone como figuras públicas, brindándome así la oportunidad de llegar a más personas u organizaciones que quieran colaborar conmigo en esta causa.
¿De todos los problemas sociales que tiene Nicaragua, cuál te preocupa más y como Miss Nicaragua, cómo podrías aportar al cambio?
A nivel personal, me preocupa el acceso y calidad de cuidado médico disponible a la gran mayoría de la población. Muchas enfermedades se pudieran evitar conociendo los factores de riesgo o pudieran ser curado con atención medica en tiempo y forma.
Debido a mi propia situación médica, siento que tengo un llamado para ser un agente de cambio positivo levantando conocimiento a la necesidad de mejor atención en medicina, en particular medicina cardiovascular.
¿Por qué mereces la corona de Miss Nicaragua 2015?
Merezco la corona porque me identifico día a día con la sonrisa del nica, cálida y llena de vida. Me siento orgullosa de mi personalidad y considero que es parte de la herencia de nuestro tierra, Nicaragua. Confió que soy digna representante de la mujer nicaragüense y me encantaría poder reflejar enfrente el mundo toda la belleza natural de nuestro país y su gente. Siento un enorme compromiso de poder demostrar que la verdadera belleza nicaragüense no es un rostro o un cuerpo, si no, nuestra calidad humana.
¿Cómo valoras el papel de la mujer en la actualidad en el plano laboral, político, económico y social de nuestro país?
Creo que recientemente nuestro país ha demostrado tendencias progresivas, siendo bien beneficiadas la mujeres de nuestra sociedad. Cada día se da a respetar más los derechos e importancia de la mujer en la casa y en el ámbito profesional. La mujer nica es tenaz, capaz y ambiciosa sin perder su maternidad o virtudes femeninas.
Hoy es mas común ver mujeres en puestos altos de gobierno, de empresa privadas y organizaciones contribuyendo al futuro de Nicaragua. Esto crea un excelente ejemplo a la mujer joven, demostrando que con esfuerzo y ética todo lo es posible. Como Miss Nicaragua, cada día trabajaré duro para representar el éxito que la mujer nica es capaz de obtener.

Last Friday, during the March for Life at the Lincoln Memorial, a junior in high school became the target of society’s collective hatred. Nick Sandmann was quickly dubbed a racist who embodied everything wrong in Trump’s America, and became the subject of online vitriol and rage, from death threats to calls to dox him and his classmates.
The initial story fell apart by Monday. The narrative that pushed Sandmann and his fellow high schoolers as the bigots who’d mobbed an elderly Native American man was proven false, and the mea culpas began rolling in from outlets like The Atlantic and the New York Times. As The Atlantic’s Caitlin Flanagan put it, “The Media Botched the Covington Catholic Story.”
So why did so many commentators, including elite journalists, jump to attack Sandmann armed with nothing more than an out-of-context video clip?
The traditional argument is that when we’re online, we can be anonymous, and that encourages our worst impulses. As Likeable, a social media marketing agency, put it, “If you could steal from a bank and you knew no one could identify you, would you? Our identity helps keep our actions in check because we must be responsible for those actions afterward.” Anonymity removes that check. But this explanation falls short. Most of Sandmann’s attackers were loud and proud, not hiding behind anonymous profiles.
The truth behind these online pile-ons is almost completely the opposite. Online pile-ons are a very public form of virtue signaling, aided by the unique psychological triggers of social media. Social media platforms designed their products to trigger a neurological response when someone engages with your post. Sean Parker, founding president of Facebook, says, “Whenever someone likes or comments on a post or photograph, we give you a little dopamine hit.” Dopamine is associated with feelings of euphoria and bliss, and we’re hardwired to seek out hits of the chemical.
Unfortunately, an effective way to get dopamine-inducing likes and retweets on social media is to tweet savagely about your political opponents, because it gets your fans fired up. You also get points for being early — social media rewards trend-setters, not followers. When college professor Reza Aslan tweeted about Sandmann’s “punchable face,” he was rewarded with more than 23,000 dopamine-inducing likes.
By contrast, calm and moderate posts rarely go viral. “Let’s wait and see what all the facts are” takes may age well, but they don’t viscerally engage fans’ emotions. Getting the story right matters, and not just because getting it wrong reduces the credibility of journalists and news organizations. There are real victims to these online pile-ons. In the case of Nick Sandmann, powerful elites with hundreds of thousands of followers publicly attacked a high schooler whose ability to fight back was limited.
How can we stop our collective rush to judgment?
A good place to start would be to adopt the following policy when we’re evaluating something our political opponents did that looks very bad: If the situation were reversed and it were my political allies under fire, would I rush to judgment, or would I look for additional context? If we’d do so when our allies were at risk of looking bad, then we have a moral obligation to do the same when it’s our opponents.
When we’re savagely tweeting about a breaking controversy, we should also take a moment and ask ourselves how our tweets will age if we’re wrong. Tweeting about a high schooler’s “punchable” face, as Aslan did, wouldn’t look great even if Aslan was right that the high-schooler in question was racist. But as details emerged that contradicted Aslan’s assumptions, his tweet began to look worse and worse. A few moments of humility (“What if my analysis of the situation is wrong?”) could have saved a lot of journalists from looking bad while also preventing a lot of trauma for innocent high schoolers.
We’re living in a brave new world where social media incentivizes savagery and a rush to judgment. A little cultivated empathy and humility could help.

La ex presidenta Cristina Fernández de Kirchner comenzó con un rally mediático a partir de su campaña junto a Unidad Ciudadana para convertise en senadora por la provincia de Buenos Aires. Esta vez, la ex mandataria fue al programa del periodista “Chiche” Gelblung en el canal Crónica y, además de otras polémicas declaraciones, afirmó: “Nunca me gasté millones en joyas”.
La tapa de NOTICIAS es del 28 de diciembre de 2014. Lo había revelado Sergio Hovaghimian, ex representante de la joyería más distinguida del país, quien sostuvo que era una clienta habitual de Jean-Pierre. Una clienta en las sombras que compraría joyas por “hasta 1 millón de dólares por año”, y “en negro”.
A pedido de esta revista, Hovaghimian identificó una serie de joyas que Cristina solía lucir en sus apariciones. Su debilidad, claramente, son los collares de perlas, cuyo precio de mercado oscila entre los 80.000 y 120.000 dólares. Los aros también la apasionan, aunque son una inversión más económica: entre 4.500 y 10.000 dólares, según el modelo. Hovaghimian aportó precisiones y valores, y aseguró que las joyas son de Jean-Pierre.
Killer ex-cop Derek Chauvin is close to reaching a plea deal on his federal civil rights charges that would allow him to escape life in prison for George Floyd’s murder, according to a report.
Multiple sources told WCCO that the former Minneapolis officer is close to the deal that would see him serving his sentence in federal prison, but at the same time as the 22½ years he already got on his state conviction for murdering Floyd in May last year.
It would include the 45-year-old former cop having to finally explain exactly what he did to Floyd and why he did it, WCCO said.
The deal would likely involve a 20- to 25-year sentence that he would serve at the same time as his state sentence, WCCO’s sources said. Without it, Chauvin faces life in prison on the charges, the outlet noted.
The negotiations with prosecutors could be what Chauvin was referring to when he told his sentencing hearing last week that he could not give a full statement because of “legal matters.”

“There’s gonna be some other information in the future that will be of interest and I hope these will give you some peace of mind,” Chauvin had said, which WCCO suggested was the plea deal.
Former Hennepin County Chief Public Defender Mary Moriarty told the outlet that Chauvin’s swift guilty verdict in the state case is undoubtedly a motivating factor in seeking a deal.
“In federal court, there would be a substantial difference between what he would receive if he went to trial and was convicted versus what he would get if he pled guilty, and as they say, take responsibility for his actions,” Moriarty said.

WCCO said the US Attorney’s Office declined to comment, and Ben Crump, the Floyd family attorney, and Eric Nelson, the attorney for Chauvin, did not respond.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is claiming the Jan. 6 select committee’s subpoena for documents and testimony from Steve Bannon is “invalid” ahead of the House’s vote to recommend that the former White House strategist be held in contempt of Congress after he declined to comply with the panel’s request.
Bannon — who was a private citizen during the time of the riot on the Capitol — cited “executive privilege” in pushing back on cooperating with the panel, with his attorney Robert Costello stating that he would “comply with the directions of the courts.”
While the panel was issued subpoena power, McCarthy (R-Calif.) said the courts should determine whether Bannon would be covered by executive privilege.
“They’re issuing an invalid subpoena,” he said at a press conference Thursday. “Issuing invalid subpoenas weakens our power, not if somebody votes against it. He has the right to go to the court to see if he has executive privilege or not. I don’t know if he does or not but neither does the committee.”

Bannon was subpoenaed by the panel on Sept. 23, along with former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former White House communications official Dan Scavino and former Pentagon official Kash Patel.
When pressed on what makes the subpoena invalid, McCarthy argued that the entire panel is invalid due to it passing largely along party lines.
McCarthy has long been critical of the select committee, arguing it is politically motivated. He escalated his criticisms of the panel after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) rebuffed two of his five selections — Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Jim Banks (R-Ind.), both allies of President Donald Trump — to sit on the committee. After the speaker rejected his picks, he opted not to have any of his members serve.

The nine-person panel — which was created after a vote in June which passed largely along party lines — currently includes two Republicans, Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), both of whom defied McCarthy’s calls not to partake in the committee.
Members of the committee voted unanimously Tuesday to advance the resolution to recommend the Department of Justice pursue criminal charges.

En un acto de sensatez, la “real ganadora” romperá el contrato con la organización de belleza internacional, luego de sentir gran presión por parte de los medios de comunicación internacionales, tras el inusual pelón del anfitrión Steve Harvey, quien dio por ganadora a la miss equivocada en vivo y directo.
Negada a que su vida privada y su naturalidad fuesen puestas en evidencia, pues se rumora que obtuvo la corona palanqueada por una supuesta relación amorosa con el presidente de su país, además de cuestionarse su belleza tras filtrarse unas fotos al natural y cero maquillaje, la joven de 26 años prefirió cortar por lo sano y desaparecer definitivamente de la vida pública.
La noticia sucede a la polémica generada durante la coronación, cuyos memes mantuvieron el tema en la palestra por días, siendo para muchos el hecho más importante de 2015.
La sucesión de reinas se realizará en un acto que, según corre la bola en los portales de belleza, se presentará en televisión en los venideros días.
En sus redes sociales ni Miss Colombia ni Miss Filipinas han querido pronunciarse en torno al notición que da un giro inesperado al suceso.
Obvio que todo esto ocurriría si hoy no fuera el Día de los Santos Inocentes y nuestra intención hacerles caer por tales, así que olvídenlo: ni Pía Alonzo se despega de esa corona que tanta popularidad le ha dado, ni Miss Colombia será congraciada, ni el presentador del Miss Universo perdonado. ¡Cayeron por inocentes!<!– ***********2391900 True 28-12-2015 01:48:36 p.m.–>

Denver (CNN)Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams disagrees so much with a gun bill making its way through the Colorado legislature that he’s willing to go to jail rather than enforce it.
Businesses large and small are grappling with how to adapt to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s surprise guidance on Thursday that Americans who are vaccinated against COVID-19 can hang up their masks.
The CDC’s announcement that people who are fully vaccinated can go maskless indoors is leaving companies across the country scrambling over how to align the new recommendations with their own safety practices, including whether to treat inoculated customers and employees differently from people who have yet to get their shots.
Some of the nation’s largest retailers said Friday they have no immediate plans to change their policies and would continue requiring both customers and workers to wear masks while on the premises. Other businesses said they’re re-evaluating their protocols, while tourism players like Disney are chomping at the proverbial bit to ease mask rules for visitors. Grocery chain Trader Joe’s became the first prominent U.S. retailer Friday to drop its mask policies for vaccinated shoppers.
Then came Walmart, the country’s No. 1 retailer, with more than 4,700 stores in the U.S. Walmart said in a memo to employees that as of Friday vaccinated customers can shop without masks. Fully vaccinated employees will be able to work without masks as of May 18, although workers who haven’t been fully vaccinated will still need to wear masks, it added. The company also said it is giving $75 bonuses to vaccinated workers as “a thank you for getting vaccinated,” but employees will need to provide proof of vaccination to get the money.
“We will continue to request that non-vaccinated customers and members wear face coverings in our stores and clubs. We will update the signage in our facilities to reflect this,” the memo to both Walmart and Sam’s Club employees said.
No mask, no service
Kroger, the largest U.S. supermarket chain, said the company would still require everyone in its stores to wear masks and continue to encourage social distancing. The company also said it is reviewing the CDC’s latest guidance to develop “the next phase of our policy.”
Retailers Home Depot and Target also said they would maintain their coronavirus policies for now, including demanding that customers and workers wear masks and continue to social distance.
“Target will continue to require all of our coronavirus safety measures in all stores, including masks and social distancing, while we review [Thursday’s] guidance from the CDC and re-evaluate the guidance we offer our team and guests,” a spokesperson said in a statement to CBS MoneyWatch.
Macy’s, Starbucks and other major retailers are also weighing the guidance before ditching their mask requirements.
The decision by some businesses to continue enforcing mask policies is understandable given the ongoing health risks and public sensitivities about getting vaccinated, said Helen Rella, an employment and labor attorney at law firm Wilk Auslander.
“Unfortunately, in retail settings that are open to the public, there is no way to determine if patrons are vaccinated short of asking for proof prior to entry, which is not likely to happen,” she said.
Roughy 36% of people in the U.S. are fully vaccinated and have received CDC-issued vaccine cards as proof. But scammers also have seized the opportunity to forge the low-tech cards, as well as sell stolen authentic cards to unvaccinated individuals.
“Very big news” for Disney
Walt Disney CEO Bob Chapek celebrated the CDC’s new guidance and said he expects it to have an immediate effect on business.
The health agency’s revised guidelines are “very big news for us, particularly if anybody’s been in Florida in the middle of the summer with a mask on,” Chapek told investors in an earnings call on Thursday after the CDC change in policy was revealed. “We’ve already started to increase our capacities” at Disney attractions, added Chapek, who predicted that the relaxed recommendations would quickly boost attendance at Disney’s theme parks, water parks and other venues.
Rival amusement park operator Six Flags Entertainment said in an email to CBS MoneyWatch that the company is reviewing the new CDC guidance and would adjust its mask policy “with the health and safety of our guests and team members top of mind.”
Six Flags currently requires all guests over age 2 to wear face masks at its 27 amusement parks across North America.
Casino operator Wynn Resorts was among the first businesses to tell guests they can stop wearing masks, citing the CDC’s new guidance.
“Beginning this evening, Wynn Las Vegas and Encore will communicate to guests that they are not required to wear a mask if they are fully vaccinated and are required to wear a mask if they are not. The resort trusts guests to take the appropriate precautions based on their personal vaccination status,” the company said in a statement Thursday.
The same policy applies to Wynn’s employees, the company said.
Despite the urgency to ease COVID-19 protocols by some businesses, a union representing 1.3 million food and retail workers said the CDC’s latest guidance could put its members at risk. The new policy fails to consider the safety of workers across the country who must deal directly with the public in stores and supermarkets, the United Food and Commercial Workers said in a news release.
Frontline workers are again being put in the position of having to police whether customers are following public safety rules — in this case enforcing mask-wearing among the unvaccinated, according to the labor group.
“While we all share the desire to return to a mask-free normal, [the CDC] guidance is confusing and fails to consider how it will impact essential workers who face frequent exposure to individuals who are not vaccinated and refuse to wear masks,” Marc Perrone, the UFCW’s international president, said in a statement.
Trader Joe’s: “We trust our customers”
The supermarket chain Trader Joe’s became one of the first big-name retailers on Friday to drop mask requirements for customers who are fully vaccinated. The company has 530 stores in the U.S., and masking remains a must for employees.
A spokeswoman for grocer told CBS MoneyWatch explained the new policy thusly: “In accordance with CDC guidelines, customers who are fully vaccinated are no longer required to wear masks while shopping in our stores. We do not require proof of vaccination, as we trust our customers to follow CDC guidelines. At this time, masks are still required for our Crew Members.”
Costco: Local rules apply
At Costco’s nearly 560 stores across the country, it’s the local rules that matter. Craig Jelinek, president and CEO of the membership-only retailer said in a statement Friday that fully vaccinated members and guests can enter without face masks or face shields at Costco stores where the state or local jurisdiction does not have a mask mandate.
In those Costco locations where state or local mask mandates remain in place, masks are still required, Jelinek said.
Authorities told reporters that they have rescued 35 people from the building so far, with two people rescued from the rubble itself.
Miami-Dade County Commissioner Sally Heyman told Fox News that about 51 people remain unaccounted for.
“Over 80 MDFR units including #TRT (Technical Rescue Teams) are on scene with assistance from municipal fire departments,” Miami Dade Fire Rescue said in a tweet.

Firefighters pulled at least one boy from the debris, according to photos online. A reporter from CBS Miami said at at least nine people were transported to the hospital.
Officials received offers of support from Sens. Rick Scott and Marco Rubio, as well as Gov. Ron DeSantis, to provide anything needed for the search-and-rescue operation, which may take up to a week.
The building address is 8777 Collins Avenue, according to Surfside police. The sea-view condo development was built in 1981 in the southeast corner of Surfside, on the beach. It had a few two-bedroom units currently on the market, with asking prices of $600,000 to $700,000, police said.
One witness who was on vacation in the city with his family told Fox News he was next door when it suddenly sounded like a tornado or earthquake.
“It was the craziest thing I ever heard in my life,” he said.

He added that he believed much of the building was occupied.
He estimated that the collapse occurred at about 1:20 a.m.
