Several of members of the group tanked a budget committee vote on Friday, causing House GOP leaders Victory Programs Review to spend the weekend negotiating with holdouts to get closer to consensus. “Every step of the way, when there were questions, when there were final decisions that had to be made, President Trump was always one phone call away,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told reporters last week. “It’s like an NBA ball game, wait til the last two minutes and watch it — and we’re about at two minutes and 30 seconds right now,” Burchett said as he left the meeting. “I think there’ll be a little arm twisting, a little gnashing of teeth. But I think the president will deliver like he always does. Don’t count him out.”
A massive manhunt is underway this evening for the suspect in the assassination of a Minnesota lawmaker and the attempted assassination of another. CNN’s Isabelle Chapman, Curt Devine, Yahya Abou-Ghazala, Anna-Maja Rappard, Scott Glover, John Miller and Rob Kuznia contributed to this report. More than an hour later, emergency personnel shared details with dispatchers about the victims in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, at the home of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark.
As they arrived at her home, they encountered the suspect, 57-year-old Vance Boelter, dressed like a police officer. “He said he’s sleeping well because an American is not going to be pope,” said Merkelis. Days later, the priests said he was at an Augustinian house shouting “that’s Prevost, that’s Prevost” when Leo was announced. Father John Merkelis, who belongs to the same Augustinian order as Leo and was his high school classmate, said he was emailing Leo in the days leading up to the conclave. Friendly divisions between the North and the South sides were just part of what many hoped Leo will bridge. Gomez was satisfied with how the first-place Cubs are doing but hopes Leo lends a hand to other Chicago teams.

- “I hope the Americans will remind Pakistan of the great importance of not supporting terrorism, of not enabling, equipping, financing and dispatching terrorists to our country,” Tharoor said.
- “It’s like an NBA ball game, wait til the last two minutes and watch it — and we’re about at two minutes and 30 seconds right now,” Burchett said as he left the meeting.

“The issue of SALT is one of the biggest issues impacting my district. It’s the reason I won.” She worked in a practically tied legislature and got a budget done at the end of this year. She, along with the governor and our other legislative leaders, was able to usher through school lunches and family leave and stood up for women’s rights,” Klobuchar said. President Donald Trump said the attacks in Minnesota against elected officials are “absolutely terrible,” as he exited the White House to head to the military parade on Saturday.
We offer privacy, choice, and the opportunity to pursue a meaningful life. The SALT advocates are also fundamentally at odds with the hardline cost-cutting group. Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy said he voted present “out of respect for the Republican Conference and the President to move the bill forward.” Trump has promised he would extend the tax cuts from his first term and add new ones, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security. Trump has frequently threatened the political careers of Republicans who disobey him, and focused his ire Tuesday on one holdout, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, who says he will not back the bill. “I think with the holdouts, Trump did move them. I don’t know that we are there yet, but that was a hugely impactful meeting,” he said.
- Morrison praised Minnesota law enforcement in their efforts to protect communities and elected officials, but noted a need for additional security measures.
- Carlson, 59, also spoke with CNN on Saturday night in front of his home.
- But talk to those people today, and they’ll tell you how their children have not just succeeded, but blossomed.
- We are an agency of diversity, we are an agency of principles, and we are an agency that acutely understands that when a person, any person, is discriminated against, it destroys the very fabric of humanity.
- Yvette Hoffman saved her daughter Hope’s life by throwing herself on top of her, a relative told CNN affiliate KARE.
- Her family was devoted to Pope John Paul II and attributes a miracle to the pope that led a doctor to discover a piece of glass near her father’s heart when he was having heart trouble.
Late Sunday night, that same committee advanced the bill — with the original holdouts voting “present.” Trump outwardly ignored the divisions still plaguing efforts to finalize the legislation ahead of a deadline from House Speaker Mike Johnson to vote on the bill before Memorial Day. The comments section was not only filled with players who were surprised that this could be done, but also many that thanked OP for bringing a smile to poor Hope’s face. “After 996 hours, I learned something new,” said one player who echoed all our sentiments. “She deserves this. I love her so much it’s a crime there’s not more content of her,” said another.
The event celebrating Leo convinced even die hard Cubs fans to head to the South Side park. Tharoor also said he hoped that the United States would remind Pakistan of the relevance of not supporting terrorism to breed on its soil, and that the United States must not have forgotten the World Trade Centre attacks on September 11, 2001. We are an agency of diversity, we are an agency of principles, and we are an agency that acutely understands that when a person, any person, is discriminated against, it destroys the very fabric of humanity. Such unfair treatment must be met with resistance, partnership and intentional understanding. We do not accept that the current situation for black and brown people is not about us, it is. We support Black Lives Matter, and we will continue to do our part in the fight for equality.
Education and health care are top priorities for Sen. Hoffman
As he came out of the house, he exchanged gunfire with the police before escaping on foot, leaving behind what appeared to be a police car at the scene. Police found writings in the vehicle that included a hit list with nearly 70 names. Those named are mostly Democratic politicians or figures with ties to abortion rights, including Minnesota lawmakers Rep. Ilhan Omar and Sen. Tina Smith. Investigators are looking into whether the suspect wore a latex face mask when he shot two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses early Saturday, a law enforcement official briefed on the case told CNN. Pope Leo XIV, born in Chicago in 1955, spoke in a video message to tens of thousands of spectators at Rate Field, the Chicago White Sox ballpark that was a staple of his youth growing up.
Suspect had survival gear in the vehicle that police found, document says
Leo’s message was part of a celebration of the first American pope at the stadium of his beloved ball team. The South Side native’s message was aimed particularly at young people. Morrison praised Minnesota law enforcement in their efforts to protect communities and elected officials, but noted a need for additional security measures. Carlson said Boelter was a conservative who voted for President Donald Trump and was strongly against abortion rights. But he said Boelter never mentioned any particular issue with the lawmakers who were shot, and said he was stunned to learn that he is a suspect in the attacks. Investigators are looking into whether he wore a latex face mask during the shootings, a law enforcement official told CNN.

For more than 50 years, Victory Programs Foundation’s mission has been one of social justice for people with disabilities. Since our early days, this group of citizens has been at the bottom of the hierarchy of people who matter. People who have been segregated in institutions, used for eugenics experiments and shunned by the majority of society. Through our work, we are not only creating equality for people with disabilities, but we are also shining a light of hope for other marginalized people and communities. There’s also ongoing frustration from a number of GOP lawmakers who want to protect access to Medicaid, the federal-state health insurance program for people with disabilities and low-income adults.
Early Saturday morning, emergency services responded to the home of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in Champlin, Minnesota. But were shot and Hoffman and his wife underwent surgery and are stable, according to officials. Carlson, 59, spoke with reporters Saturday night in front of his home after returning from the lumber store to buy plywood for the windows, which had been busted open by a SWAT team earlier in the day. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Thursday took a dig at Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir, who was hosted at the White House by US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, and hoped he must have got “food for thought” while having lunch with Trump. At Victory Programs Foundation, we believe neighborhoods and communities are enriched when everyone in them participates to the fullest extent possible. We believe that citizenship should not be limited by the attainment of certain skills, but is a right that belongs to us all.
‘Hope He Got Food For Thought’: Shashi Tharoor Mocks Asim Munir’s Lunch With Trump
Members leaving the meeting said Trump was enjoying himself, making jokes, speaking off the cuff and taking questions while stressing that he wants holdouts to get in line and get the bill passed. Over on the game’s subreddit, ThijmenC shared some pictures of their Tav and Hope taking in the sights and sounds of Baldur’s Gate. While it’s great to see Hope having a good time, the game doesn’t actually allow her character model to leave the House of Hope.
We believe that with the right support, even people with complex disabilities can live successfully in their own homes. But talk to those people today, and they’ll tell you how their children have not just succeeded, but blossomed. That’s because Victory Programs offers more than a safe and secure environment.
State Rep. Melissa Hortman — the top Democrat in the Minnesota House — and her husband were shot and killed early this morning in “what appears to be a politically motivated assassination,” according to Gov. Tim Walz. SWAT teams and officers from multiple agencies are searching the property of Vance Boelter, the suspect in the assassination of one Minnesota lawmaker and the wounding of another, Sibley County Sheriff Patrick Nienaber said today. Hoffman, a Democrat, is the chair of the Senate Human Services Committee, and the library lists his special legislative concerns as education, health and human services, environment, energy and commerce. “I just wanna let you know that I love you guys both and I wish it hadn’t gone this way. I don’t wanna say anything more and implicate you in any way because you guys don’t know anything about this but I love you guys and I’m sorry for all the trouble this has caused,” Carlson told reporters he received in a text. State Rep. Melissa Hortman — the top Democrat in the Minnesota House — and her husband were shot and killed in an apparent “politically motivated assassination,” according to Gov. Tim Walz.
And that includes living in one’s own home, with one’s own name on the lease. Victory Programs Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, provides services to adults with developmental disabilities exclusively in their own homes or apartments — regardless of how complex their disabilities may be.
Up to 40 women and children are welcomed as guests each night in our clean, safe shelter. More than a roof over their head, our shelter is a place that provides a sense of safety and security and surrounds women with support needed to work on the root problems that led to homelessness. Our Center for Women and Children is one of the few local shelters to welcome children.
It’s been more than 24 hours since the assassination of a Minnesota lawmaker. Here’s what we know
“According to the White House, this general had said that the President should get the Nobel Peace Prize, and then he was rewarded with a lunch. I hope the food was good and he has also got some food for thought in the process,” the Congress MP said. Hope Haven & Madonna Manor is a former Catholic school on Barataria Boulevard, consisting of multiple buildings. Through our services, our community participation, and our advocacy, we make these ideas reality, each and every day. We believe that this right can only be fully enjoyed when people have as much control over their day-to-day life as possible.
