Simplemente no se me pasaba por la cabeza iniciar el sexo”.Drew Barrymore dice que no es “una persona que necesita sexo”En 2021, Peter vio un anuncio en el que se buscaban voluntarios varones para un nuevo estudio sobre el trastorno del deseo sexual hipoactivo, o TDSH...

Metro looks to keep DC’s bus lanes clear with cameras, fines

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:46:20 GMT

You may want to stay out of those bus lanes in the city when you need a quick parking job — in the future, camera-enforced tickets may be coming.The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority estimates their busses only travel about 10 mph on average. It’s even worse for the transit agency’s most popular routes.Aiming to improve service, reliability and speed, WMATA plans to partner with the D.C. Department of Transportation to install cameras on 140 buses this year. Those cameras would target cars and other vehicles that use or park in bus-only lanes, or at bus stops.Each designated bus would receive a camera mounted on the windshield that would record videos of the violator, as well as a separate camera that would take snapshots of license plates. A GPS system would ensure videos and photos would only be taken near bus lanes.Footage and photos of any violators would then be sent to the city for tickets, which right now would cost $200.The Clear Lanes project would be a p...

Jim Jordan on Tuesday, accusing the Republican of a “transparent campaign to intimidate and attack” him over his prosecution of former President Donald Trump.Bragg, a Democrat, is asking a judge to invalidate subpoenas that Jordan, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, has or plans to issue as part of an investigation of the Bragg’s handling of the Trump case.In recent weeks, the Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena seeking testimony from a former prosecutor, Mark Pomerantz, who previously oversaw the Trump investigation.

Biden calls family of reporter detained as spy in Russia

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:46:20 GMT

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Joe Biden spoke to the parents of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich on Tuesday, nearly two weeks after the Moscow-based journalist was detained in Russia and charged with espionage.Biden made the call as he flew to Belfast to start a four-day trip to Northern Ireland and Ireland. The call happened one day after the Biden administration formally declared the reporter had been “wrongfully detained.”The designation elevates Gershkovich’s case for the U.S. government and means that a particular State Department office will take the lead on seeking his release.Before departing Washington on Tuesday, Biden again condemned the journalist’s detention. Both the U.S. government and Wall Street Journal have vehemently denied the Russian accusation that Gershkovich is a spy.“We’re making it real clear that it’s totally illegal what’s happening, and we declared it so,” Biden said. “It changes the dynamic.”White House press...

While Macron spoke as the French president, his views reflect a growing shift among EU leaders, Michel said. “There has been a leap forward on strategic autonomy compared to several years ago,” Michel told French television show La Faute à l’Europe (which has a partnership with POLITICO) in an interview set to air on Wednesday. “On the issue of the relationship with the United States, it’s clear that there can be nuances and sensitivities around the table of the European Council.
