Biden vetoes 2 Republican-led bills to undo prairie chicken, bat protections

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:56:24 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has vetoed Republican-sponsored bills to undo federal protections for two endangered species that have seen their populations plummet over the years: the lesser prairie chicken and northern long-eared bat.The two GOP measures would overturn “science-based rulemaking" that offers important protections for the once-abundant species and would undermine the Endangered Species Act, Biden said. “The lesser prairie-chicken serves as an indicator for healthy grasslands and prairies, making the species an important measure of the overall health of America’s grasslands,'' the White House wrote late Tuesday in a veto statement about the prairie bird. It's a member of the grouse family found in parts of the Midwest and Southwest, including the oil-rich Permian Basin in New Mexico and Texas. The bird’s range also extends into parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, and Kansas.FILE - This undated photo provided by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources shows a no...

Concord-Carlisle field hockey team plays elite defense, tops Wellesley

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:56:24 GMT

WELLESLEY – Standout defense has been a calling card for the No. 10 Concord-Carlisle field hockey team over the last few seasons, and that remained true Wednesday afternoon to hand No. 19 Wellesley its first loss during a gritty 3-1 nonleague win on the road.The Patriots (4-1-1) seemed to have an answer for almost every potentially dangerous bid the Raiders (6-1-1) presented, holding Wellesley scoreless up until the final minute despite a bevy of corners.Neutralizing the Raiders’ plus speed in transition played a massive role, as did a constant rotation of defenders winning one-on-one matchups around and inside the circle. Goalie Crista Celi (six saves) cleaned up whatever got through most of the way.Wellesley’s defense was equally tough, but Concord-Carlisle powered through behind Avery Swenson’s goal and assist. Fei Yang-Sady and Kate Francini scored the other two goals, while Hadley Swenson (assist) and Julia Lambert stood out within a well-rounded win.“Each line was working toge...

Battenfeld: Social disorder in American cities threatens to damage Biden re-election hopes

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:56:24 GMT

Lawlessness and random violent attacks across American cities – forcing stores to close and city officials to confront the problem – could become a key issue in 2024 and hurt the Biden campaign’s claims of economic recovery.The sense of social disorder – occurring primarily in Democratic-led cities – could come back to bite Democrats running for office.The shocking ransacking of stores like Apple in Philadelphia this week by gangs of teenagers and others is just the latest example of urban unrest. Retail giant Target just announced it was closing nine stores in several cities due to rampant shoplifting and threats of violence.“This was a sickening display of opportunistic criminal activity, and we will not stand for it,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said.Philadelphia police officials said about 20 people were arrested Tuesday night for the looting, which was captured on video for all to see the looters acting without seeming fear of being caught or punished.Among the stores closed ...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — President Joe Biden raised campaign cash in San Francisco on Wednesday while seven Republican presidential hopefuls prepared to hold a debate down the coast in Simi Valley. Biden isn’t paying them much attention because he’s already zeroing in on Donald Trump, the GOP front-runner who won’t be on the stage.Biden has been increasingly calling out Trump by name and referring to him as his “likely opponent” in 2024, signaling a likely rematch from four years earlier and warning of what the Democratic incumbent sees as major dangers to the nation if he is not reelected. ”Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy this democracy,” Biden said Tuesday night during a California fundraiser, referring to a Trump campaign slogan, as he skipped entirely over Trump’s GOP rivals.Biden’s trip to the West this week is counterprogramming of sorts as a government shutdown looms, House Republicans launch impeachment hearings, the ...
