No Labels Board Member: If MLK Were Alive Today, He'd Be Aligned With Joe Manchin And No Labels

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:01:56 GMT

At the No Labels luncheon at the Puritan Backroom in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Monday, the punchline was hard to miss. A who’s who of failed moderate politicians and politicos, including former Sen. Joe Lieberman, former Govs. Pat McCrory and Jon Huntsman Jr., and former Reps. Fred Upton and Joe Cunningham, gathered alongside U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin. They were assembled to tout their political program in the form of a 73-page centrist manifesto outlining the path forward for a moderate American presidency. Neither press nor clergy were seen entering the private event, where, in a literal backroom, the fading stars of a puritanical third way met to further a plan that they have all but described as political blackmail.  Most Read Today’s Class War Is the 1 Percent Versus the People Just Below Them Jon Schwarz ...

DENVER BRONCOS (5-12)CAMP SITE: Englewood, ColoradoKEY ADDITIONS: HC Sean Payton, OC Vance Joseph, OLB Frank Clark, K Elliott Fry, WR Marvin Mims, G Ben Powers, RB Samaje Perine, WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey, DE Zach Allen, TE Chris Manhertz, OT Mike McGlinchey, QB Jarett Stidham, P Riley Dixon.KEY LOSSES: K Brandon McManus, DE Dre’Mont Jones, G Dalton Risner, T Calvin Anderson, OL Graham Glasgow, CB Ronald Darby. KEY STORYLINES: It all boils down to whether quarterback Russell Wilson can show that 2022 was an abnormality and not his new normal. Shockingly bad under novice head coach Nathaniel Hackett, Wilson’s dive was one of the biggest surprises last season and it came on the heels of the Broncos signing him to an enormous contract extension following his acquisition from Seattle. The Broncos retooled their porous offensive line to put beefier pocket protectors in front of Wilson. Payton promises to build his offense around the ground game, taking pressure off his quarterba...

UN agency slashes cash aid to Syrian refugees in Jordan, raising the alarm on its funding crunch

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:01:56 GMT

BEIRUT (AP) — The United Nations food agency said Tuesday it will reduce monthly cash aid for 120,000 Syrian refugees living in camps in Jordan because of what it described as an “unprecedented funding crisis.” Jordan is a country of 11 million people and hosts some 1.3 million refugees from Syria, most of them living in camps across the kingdom. Nearly half of the refugees in the two largest camps in Jordan — Zaatari and Azraq — rely on the cash aid. Jordanian officials have warned that the kingdom cannot fill the gap left by international donors.The announcement by the World Food Program comes after the agency said last week it would gradually cut off 50,000 refugees in Jordan from its assistance altogether. The program had initially covered 465,000 refugees. After the complete cutoff, almost 30% of refugees still left in the program will get reduced cash amounts. The monthly cash allowance would be reduced from $32 to $21, WFP said. U.N. agencies and international humanitarian or...
