A half-dozen state Senate committees will have new chairpersons heading into the 2025 session, with Democrats releasing the lineup on Thursday. The caucus also outlined who will hold other leadership positions and unveiled a change to the structure of the budget-writing Ways & Means Committee. Democrats will likely have eight new Senate members come January following seven retirements and a possible pickup in the 18th Legislative District where Democrat Adrian Cortes is leading Republican Brad Benton. “Washington voters sent a clear message this year — they want quality public schools, affordable housing and health care, a clean environment, and safe communities,” Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen, D-Seattle, said in a statement. “With an expanded majority, we’re ready to tackle these priorities in the 2025 legislative session.” Pedersen was elected to his new post earlier this month. The Ways and Means Committee will get a new vice chair of finance position . Sen. Noel Frame, of Seattle, will hold that job. In her time as a legislator, Frame has put an emphasis on fixing Washington’s regressive tax code, including by pushing for the capital gains tax now in effect and a wealth tax proposal that has not passed. The committee will have two other vice chairs. Sen. Derek Stanford, of Bothell, will be the vice chair of the operating budget, and Sen. Yasmin Trudeau, of Tacoma, will be the vice chair of the capital budget. The caucus is getting some new faces in its leadership as well. Sen. Liz Lovelett, of Anacortes, will join Sen. Manka Dhingra, of Redmond, as deputy majority leader. Sen.-elect Marcus Riccelli, of Spokane, will become the majority floor leader, replacing Pedersen. In a statement after the vote, Riccelli said he was looking forward to being a voice for the Spokane area in the Democrats’ leadership. “Eastern Washington needs strong voices for growing and protecting good, living-wage jobs, increasing housing access and affordability, and improving our health care system,” he said. The chamber will also see a new president pro tempore following Sen. Karen Keiser’s retirement next month. Sen. Steve Conway, of Tacoma, will take over that role.

The complaints from the neighbours soon reached a tipping point when a particularly vocal resident decided to voice their concerns publicly. In a letter to the local council, the neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, detailed their grievances about the unsettling aura coming from the house. They cited instances of sickness, bad luck, and even financial troubles that they believed were directly linked to the so-called 凶宅 in their midst.

Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 23 (PTI) Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday claimed that the results of the Assembly by-elections demonstrate continued public support for the LDF government and confirm its legitimacy and approval. Hours after the results of the bypolls held for the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat and two Assembly constituencies were announced, he said the people of Chelakkara had delivered a resounding victory to the Left Democratic Front, undeterred by organised propaganda and political attacks. “The Assembly by-election results have further solidified public support for and recognition of the LDF government, with the people of Chelakkara constituency delivering a decisive victory to the Left Democratic Front, despite organised propaganda and attacks,” he said in a statement. In the Palakkad Assembly seat, more voters supported the LDF compared to previous elections, Vijayan said. This mandate will provide renewed energy to advance development and welfare initiatives more vigorously in the coming days. He further emphasised that the LDF received secular votes in opposition to all forms of communalism. The message conveyed by the election results is the necessity to expose communalism and uphold secular politics without compromise, the CM stated. The results clearly show that the anti-government sentiment campaign had no impact on the people, who rejected the controversial and false narratives, he said. The CM claimed that while the UDF managed to retain Palakkad with the backing of communal forces, the LDF saw an increase in its votes compared to previous elections. The people rejected the BJP’s claims, particularly their assertion following their victory in Thrissur in the Lok Sabha elections, and their temporary gains will not lead to a lasting movement in Kerala, he added. The Chief Minister congratulated the winners of the Assembly by-elections and the Wayanad Lok Sabha by-poll and extended greetings to all those who voted for the LDF. Both the LDF and the UDF retained the Chelakkara and Palakkad Assembly seats respectively with a comfortable margin in the bypolls. The Congress won the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat with a thumping margin.

Today, U.S. attorney Josh Hurwit, along with the FBI, the Fort Hall Police Department, the Bannock County prosecuting attorney’s and sheriff’s offices, the Bonneville County prosecuting attorney’s and sheriff’s offices, the Idaho Falls Police Department and the Pocatello Police Department, announced their joint Don’t Click December consumer protection campaign. The AARP is also participating in the announcement and the awareness campaign. The campaign advises members of the public to exercise skepticism and caution when receiving unsolicited online, email, pop-up, or text communications from unknown or unverified sources. If there is any doubt about a link, message or attachment, law enforcement cautions, “Don’t click it.” As part of the campaign, the U.S. attorney’s office, the FBI, and their partners will release a public service announcement each week in December leading up to Christmas. In the first PSA, available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJzOh0RDGjw&feature=youtu.be , FBI Special Agent in Charge Shohini Sinha, Fort Hall Police Chief Pat Teton, and U.S. attorney Josh Hurwit introduce Don’t Click December and explain some of the ways in which individuals can be targeted. Three additional PSAs will alert the public to common online fraud schemes that Idaho law enforcement has seen affect Idahoans. These schemes are: — “QR” scam: This scam targets individuals through corrupt or fictitious QR codes. Often the scammer will email or text a scam QR code in an attempt to trick you. They may even cover up a legitimate QR code with their own corrupted code with the goal of getting you to visit a bogus website that can steal your information if you log in. Always verify with the restaurant or business if you suspect a QR code is suspicious. — “Pig butchering” scam: In this cryptocurrency investment fraud scam, known as “pig butchering,” victims usually receive communications asking them to deposit money into financial investments using cryptocurrency. After an initial investment, victims receive further communications with a fake account report showing financial gains in order to get them to invest more, but the investments are fake, and all the money is under the control of criminals who ultimately steal the victims’ investments. If you are contacted about an investment opportunity by someone you don’t know through social media, text or dating sites, don’t click it. If the message appears to be from an investment company you actually invest with, check the email address to verify it is from the company you’ve invested with. — “Tech support” scam: In this scam, criminals impersonate technology, banking or government officials to convince victims to share personal information. You could get a pop-up on your computer indicating your accounts have been hacked and to call a number. But that number goes to the scammer who tries to manipulate you to gain access to your computer or accounts and takes your money to fix a non-existent problem. If you get such a request, don’t click it. Government entities and legitimate businesses will never call you or send unsolicited pop-up messages to ask for access to your computer. Unfortunately, these are not the only schemes affecting the public, and new schemes arise all the time. Law enforcement hopes that the Don’t Click December consumer protection campaign will raise public awareness and encourage individuals to talk to their friends and relatives about not clicking suspicious links, texts, messages, pop-ups or attachments. “We have witnessed many Idahoans lose their hard-earned money or their entire retirement savings to online scams. And, sadly, this type of crime tends to spike during the holiday season,” said U.S. attorney Hurwit. “But, together, we can reduce the risks by talking with each other about how to avoid such scams, and I’m grateful to our law enforcement partners and the AARP for joining us in the Don’t Click December campaign. We also encourage Idahoans to report any scams as soon as possible so that law enforcement can investigate and we can bring these vicious online criminals to justice.” “According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, Idahoans lost more than $33 million to various scams last year,” said Special Agent in Charge Shohini Sinha of the Salt Lake City FBI. “As we shop, bank and stay connected online, it’s important to be alert and aware of internet‐enabled crime. The FBI is proud to partner with our law enforcement partners to share these important safety messages to keep you and your money safe, especially during the busy holiday season.” “We are pleased to join with our partners to raise awareness about online fraud targeting our citizens. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. If you’re not familiar with it, don’t click on it,” said Pocatello Police Chief Roger Schei. “Increases in technology, especially the use of AI, and the complexity of criminal organizations is making it more challenging for Idahoans to avoid the criminals who want to defraud them,” said AARP Idaho State Director Lupe Wissel. “This initiative is a great way for Idahoans to share information with their friends, family and neighbors to help keep everyone safe from scammers.” The U.S. attorney’s office and its law enforcement partners recognize that we all must work to eliminate the stigma individuals may experience if they are victimized. There is no shame in falling victim to an online scheme, which are often designed by professional criminals, sophisticated and tested repeatedly across the country. For this reason, the Don’t Click December consumer protection campaign also publicizes ways to report scams and incidents of fraud to the FBI and local law enforcement. To learn more about these and other scams targeting Americans, visit FBI.gov , and if you believe you have been victimized, take action by reporting it to FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov or by contacting your local law enforcement agency.
Title: Experts Suggest Refining the Definition of Sexual Harassment to Enhance Evidence Collection and PunishmentBlues supporters also sang the name of head coach Maresca during the closing stages of an emphatic success sealed by goals from Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and substitute Jadon Sancho. Bottom club Southampton briefly levelled through Joe Aribo but were a man down from the 39th minute after captain Jack Stephens was sent off for pulling the hair of Marc Cucurella. Chelsea, who have endured an underwhelming period since Todd Boehly’s consortium bought the club in 2022, climbed above Arsenal and into second place on goal difference, seven points behind leaders Liverpool. “It was a very good feeling, especially because you can see that they are happy, that is our target,” Maresca said of the atmosphere in the away end. “We work every day to keep them happy and tonight was a very good feeling, especially the one that they can see that Chelsea’s back. This is an important thing.” Maresca rotated his squad in Hampshire, making seven changes following Sunday’s impressive 3-0 win over Aston Villa. Following a sloppy start, his side, who stretched their unbeaten run to six top-flight games, could easily have won by more as they hit the woodwork three times, in addition to squandering a host of chances. “I’m very happy with the five we scored,” said the Italian. “I’m not happy with the first 15, 20 minutes, where we struggled. The reason why we struggled is because we prepared the game to press them man to man and the first 15, 20 minutes we were not pressing them man to man. “After 15, 20 minutes we adjust that and the game was much better. For sure we could score more but five goals they are enough.” Southampton manager Russell Martin rued a costly “moment of madness” from skipper Stephens. The defender’s ridiculous red card was the headline mistake of a catalogue of errors from the beleaguered south-coast club as they slipped seven points from safety following an 11th defeat of a dismal season. “I don’t think anyone will be as disappointed as Jack,” Martin said of Stephens, who was sent off for the second time this term after tugging the curls of Cucurella as Saints prepared to take a corner. “I haven’t got to sit down and talk with him about that at all. He will be hurt more than anyone and it’s changed the game for us tonight, which is disappointing. “I think they have to describe it as violent conduct; it’s not violent really but there’s no other explanation for that really. It’s a moment of madness that’s really cost us and Jack.” Southampton repeatedly invited pressure with their risky attempts to play out from defence, with goalkeeper Joe Lumley gifting Chelsea their second goal, scored by Nkunku. While Saints were booed off at full-time, Martin, who was missing a host of key players due to injuries and suspensions, praised the effort of his depleted team. “When they see such a big scoreline and a couple of the goals we concede, I understand it (the jeers),” he said. “It’s football, it’s emotive, people feel so much about it, it’s why it’s such a special sport in this country and so big. “I understand it but I feel really proud of the players tonight, some of the football we played at 11 v 11 was amazing. “For an hour with 10 men we’ve dug in so deep, there were some big performances. I’m proud of them for that and I’m grateful for that because that’s not easy in that circumstance.”Modi’s party wins Maharashtra state polls, loses Jharkhand
