House Republicans on Wednesday voted to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a rare reprimand of a sitting lawmaker that the GOP conference delivered as a rebuke for his efforts against former President Trump.The vote — 213-209-6 — is the culmination of a week-long push led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), which was stymied last week when a band of Republicans joined Democrats in blocking a censure resolution from coming to the floor for a vote. It advanced on Wednesday after Luna made changes to the measure.It also marked the apex of Republicans’ years-long campaign against Schiff, who emerged as a bogeyman on the right for his unrelenting criticism of Trump’s alleged ties with Russia, and was cemented as a chief GOP adversary on Capitol Hill when he led the first impeachment inquiry targeting Trump.A stunning scene took place after the vote, as Democrats in the chamber surrounded Schiff on the House floor, chanting “Adam, Adam.” They interrupted Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif....

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 16:31:44 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Stretching their winning streak to nine games, the Giants are seemingly finding new and exciting ways to eke out ballgames on a nightly basis. With five comebacks in the seventh inning or later, the late heroics are getting well-deserved attention.But the less-appreciated plays and performances that put them in position to set the stage for the late drama shouldn’t go overlooked.“It’s those little things that lead to these bigger moments that we talk about,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “The big moments will always tell the story of a season, but it’s kind of the little things that are leading to those big moments.”Before J.D. Davis hit his pinch-hit grand slam in Los Angeles, LaMonte Wade Jr. had to work a walk against a tough lefty to bring him to the plate. Smart baserunning by Mike Yastrzemski, tagging up from second and then from third on two flyballs, forced extras to set up his walk-off homer Monday night. The Giants also...

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 16:31:44 GMT

Former NFL star Bill Romanowski and his wife dodged more than $15 million in overdue tax payments by siphoning money from their nutrition supplement company and using it to pay for plastic surgery, spa appointments and other personal living expenses, according to a civil complaint filed this week in federal court.The claims against the former linebacker and his wife, Julie Romanowski, come as the Internal Revenue Service seeks to finally collect on a ballooning tax bill for the East Bay couple dating back 25 years — one that has grown by millions of dollars since authorities first won a court decision a decade ago, authorities say.Most recently, federal prosecutors say the couple used a Solano County-based company they founded, Nutrition 53, to pay for their living expenses while avoiding payment on their outstanding taxes. On Wednesday, the Department of Justice asked a judge to foreclose a lien on the company — which hawked protein shakes from headquarters in Fairfield...
