Inflation Reduction Act, Biden’s approval, Wyoming primary: This week in politics

No Comments on Inflation Reduction Act, Biden’s approval, Wyoming primary: This week in politics

Lawmakers are racing toward the August recess, as President Biden prepares to sign a bill Tuesday that invests nearly $52 billion into the semiconductor chip manufacturing sector.

Meanwhile, the House is expected to vote this week on a roughly $430 billion spending package aimed at improving health care, addressing climate change, and making corporations pay their fair share of taxes. The Senate approved the measure over the weekend.

We’re also slated to see new inflation data on Wednesday, as US Rep. Liz Cheney makes a final sprint in her campaign to retain her Republican seat in a race against a Donald Trump-backed opponent.

Here’s more on the three big politics stories we’re watching this week:

INFLATION REDUCTION ACT

The House is expected to vote Friday on a massive spending package that Democrats say will help to curb inflation. It comes after Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote on Sunday in a party-line 51-50 vote. The package — brokered by centrist Senator Joe Manchin (DW.Va.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer — is one of the most significant spending bills to move through the upper chamber since the start of the pandemic.

The bill includes $390 billion to combat climate change, while encouraging consumers to transition to electric vehicles. Democrats say the legislation will reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2030. The legislation also sets the corporate minimum tax rate at 15% for companies that book profits of more than $1 billion but use various deductions to pay less than the legal corporate tax rate of twenty-one%. The bill authorizes roughly $430 billion in new spending, and its proponents say it will create $740 in revenue.

INFLATION DATA

President Biden is facing low approval ratings for his handling of the economy, according to an ABC News/Ipsos poll released Sunday. Only 29% of polled voters approve of Biden’s handling of inflation, and 69% think the economy is getting worse.

The government is set to release new data on the Consumer Price Index on Wednesday, potentially hurting Biden’s approval rating if it shows inflation is still creeping up. Inflation hit 9.1 in the month of June, a new 40-year high. The report comes as the White House is trying to seize on momentum from Friday’s massive jobs report — a whopping 528,000 jobs that were added to the US economy in the month of July.

FINAL SPRINT FOR CHENEY PRIMARY

It’s the final sprint to the primary for US Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who faces her primary challenger Trump-backed Harriet Hageman next week. A Casper-Star Tribune poll performed from July 7 through July 11 has Hageman, an energy attorney, beating Cheney 52% to 30%.

Former-Vice President Dick Cheney recorded an ad for his daughter, who has built a national profile for herself given her position on the committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. A loss for Cheney would be a victory for Trump’s political machine, as it would unseat one of the most prominent Republicans in Congress. The primary is on Tuesday, Aug. 16.

Collingwood wine bar Congress is closing to make way for a new, mystery restaurant

No Comments on Collingwood wine bar Congress is closing to make way for a new, mystery restaurant

Hatted Collingwood restaurant Congress will serve its last pig’s head sanga on September 3. The slick brutalist-inspired wine bar opened by brother-sister duo Katie and Michael McCormack in 2017 is closing to make way for a fresh new restaurant whose identity is yet to be determined.

Front-of-house pro Katie McCormack, who managed Congress and helped build its reputation as one of Melbourne’s best new-wave wine bars, passed away in February aged 39 from cancer. Following that tragedy and Katie’s inextricable influence on Congress’s identity, Michael feels it’s time for a fresh start.

“It’s been a tough decision for me, to be honest,” he says. “Do we take a break, have a breath and then continue on with the name and same concept? We just thought we loved what Congress was and we don’t want to dilute that.”

Congress was the ground-floor magnet of a Collingwood apartment building, in a novel new business model that brought... — Congress was the ground-floor magnet of a Collingwood apartment building, in a novel new business model that brought together restaurants and developers. Photo: Dan Hocking

Michael says he is already in talks with a number of (unnamed) Melbourne hospitality groups to operate the space but is also considering his business, Milieu Hospitality, installing something fresh there. He says the beauty of Congress’s minimalist, concrete-forward fit-out is that it lends itself to lots of different ideas.

“If we were to partner with someone, we’d be looking to give someone an opportunity,” he says, adding that it’s a dream scenario for first-time operators who won’t need to spend a cent on the fit-out.

Collingwood locals will have to be patient, though, as Michael doesn’t anticipate the new venue will open until early next year. Current head chef Zach Tinsley will not be part of the next chapter. His desire for him to pursue his own projects was “part of the decision making process,” Michael says.

Congress was the first Milieu Hospitality restaurant; Richmond’s Future Future and Fitzroy North’s Lagotto followed.

The two McCormack siblings created a unique model where Michael’s property development business Milieu would build well-designed apartments in desirable locations, while Katie created restaurants at ground-level that added extra pulling power.

Milieu is working on several developments around Melbourne with Brunswick East’s Lygon Street build its next major hospitality project.

For its final month, Congress will serve a menu of greatest hits, such as the kangaroo pastrami, Dutch spice cake and, yes, the pig’s head sanga. Run, don’t walk.

Open Tue-Fri 5.30pm-late, Sat noon-late

No Comments on Ricky Stuart suspended Canberra Raiders coach for Jaeman Salmon spray

The NRL has handed down the first ever suspension to a coach, slapping Ricky Stuart with a one-game ban.

Stuart will be forced to sit out this week’s round 22 clash with St George Illawarra, and will be unable to communicate with his team.

He has also been fined $25,000. He has five business days to respond to the breach notice, but the Raiders announced he and the club accept the sanctions.

Trump team tried to flush documents, Haberman book claims

No Comments on Trump team tried to flush documents, Haberman book claims

A spokesman for former President Donald Trump has denied that he tried to dispose of White House documents by flushing them down toilets after Axios published two images of paper allegedly bearing Trump’s handwriting at the bottom of commodes.

“You have to be pretty desperate to sell books if pictures of paper in a toilet bowl is part of your promotional plan,” Taylor Budowich told the site, which published the images after they were obtained by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman ahead of the October publication of her book “Confidence Man.”

Budowich then added that “there’s enough people willing to fabricate stories like this in order to impress the media class — a media class who is willing to run with anything, as long as it anti-Trump.”

One photo, purportedly taken in the White House, shows a ripped note with the word “where” written on it at the bottom of a toilet.

The second photo, which was allegedly taken while Trump was on an overseas trip, featured a torn piece of paper bearing the names “Rogers” and “Stefanik” – presumably referring to upstate Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) – in the toilet .

Haberman, who initially reported that Trump liked flushing his notes in February of this year, stood by her reporting during an appearance on CNN Monday.

Toilet with paper at bottom. — The paper allegedly bears former President Donald Trump’s handwriting.

“People are going to make all kinds of jokes about toilets and so forth,” she said. “It would still be a story if it was a fireplace. And the point is about the destruction of records which are supposed to be preserved under the Presidential Records Act, which is a Watergate-era creation.”

“We knew that Trump had a habit of ripping up paper and that people had to tape it back together,” Haberman added. ” … And so what was happening was White House residence staff were finding pipes were clogged with paper that they believed he had flushed … I’d had additional reporting afterwards from people confirming that Trump had indeed done this and that it happened on at least two foreign trips and in the White House throughout his presidency.”

“Again, it’s important because who knows what this paper was. Only he would know and presumably whoever was dealing with it. But the important point is about the records.”

The former president swiftly blasted the accusation back in February, calling it “another fake story,” “categorically untrue,” and “simply made up” by Haberman to distract Americans from “how horribly our Country is doing under the Biden Administration.”

Since leaving office, several reports have depicted Trump as a notorious destroyer of records – sensitive or not.

Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America. — The images were obtained by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman ahead of the October publication of her book “Confidence Man.”

CNN reported Monday that Trump would instruct aides to carry boxes of unread memoirs, articles, and potential tweets aboard Air Force One, which he would then review and tear up.

One former senior administration official told the outlet that a deputy from the Office of Staff Secretary would pull things out of Trump’s trash or remove items from his desk after the president left the room to comply with federal recordkeeping laws.

Trump has also been accused of keeping boxes of White House documents — some of which contained classified material — at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

The National Archives retrieved the boxes in January.

That caught the attention of the House Oversight Committee, which quickly launched an investigation into what it called “Potential Serious Violations” of the Presidential Records Act of 1978.

Federal investigators have also reportedly issued a subpoena for the documents as part of their own investigation into the matter.

No Comments on When You Can Watch The Splatoon 3 Direct In Australian Times

Splatoon 3 will get its own Nintendo Direct broadcast this week and, as always, we’ve got the details on when and where to catch it in Australian times.

Similar to the Pokemon Direct last week, this next Nintendo Direct broadcast will focus on Splatoon 3 entirely and will run for around 30 minutes. Though Nintendo is currently staying tight-lipped about the contents of the show, it has said fans can expect fresh squid news and updates.

Splatoon 3 is the latest in Nintendo’s series of third-person multiplayer shooters, a genre few could have seen Nintendo wading into a decade ago. Since its launch on the Wii U in 2015, splatoon has become one of Nintendo’s most popular new IPs. Its unique paintball-inspired take on territory control has won it legions of fans and opened the door to younger players as well. It’s a very Nintendo take on the multiplayer shooter, turning the genre on its ear to center teamwork over violence, without losing the competitive edge that keeps players coming back. Remove the balancing act.

Splatoon 3 will launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on September 9, 2022.

Tune in on August 10 at 6 am PT for a livestreamed #Splatoon3 Directpresentation. Join us in the Splatlands for roughly 30 minutes of updates! pic.twitter.com/iFfaU3V6vM

Ashton Kutcher says he’s ‘lucky to be alive’ after vasculitis diagnosis which left him unable to see or hear

No Comments on Ashton Kutcher says he’s ‘lucky to be alive’ after vasculitis diagnosis which left him unable to see or hear

Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher has declared he is “lucky to be alive” after he was diagnosed with a rare form of vasculitis almost two years ago.

The Two and a Half Men star revealed the auto-immue disorder left him without the ability to see, hear or walk, and took him almost a full year to recover.

“Like two years ago I had a weird, super-rare form of vasculitis that knocked out my vision, knocked out my hearing and knocked out all my equilibrium,” he revealed on a new episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge.

“It took me like a year to build it all back up again. You don’t really appreciate it until it’s gone, until you go, ‘I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to see again; I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to hear again; I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to walk again’.”

Kutcher added he is “lucky to be alive.”

“The minute you start seeing your obstacles as things that are made for you, to give you what you need, then life starts to get fun, right?” he said.

“You start surfing on top of your problems instead of living underneath them.”

The 44-year-old enjoyed some quality beach time with his wife Mila Kunis, 38, over the weekend – just days before the clip where he spoke publicly about his health battle was released.

Kutcher was pictured shirtless and wearing a white baseball cap while Kunis sported a black hat along with a white t-shirt and denim shorts.

Vasculitis is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of blood vessels, which means the immune system attacks the body’s own cells, tissues and organs.

The disease is “relatively rare” and can affect people of all ages, according to the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy.

Cameron Smith LIV golf, Hannah Green to play

No Comments on Cameron Smith LIV golf, Hannah Green to play

The Australian Open has added some extra star-power for its return edition this summer with major winner Hannah Green committing to play.

Green, fresh from contending at this month’s Women’s Open, was unveiled in Melbourne on Monday as the event’s latest coup.

The 25-year-old is one of only four Australian women to have won a major, after claiming the 2019 PGA Championship, and returns home after a strong year, albeit with the disappointment of a weekend fadeout at the Women’s Open.

Green has six top-10 finishes this year, including a top-five at the women’s PGA Championship, while she was also on track for a strong result in at Muirfield until she was derailed by a seven-over final two rounds.

With the major final of the season in the books, the Australian is looking to the months ahead, which will include returning home for a historic edition of the Australian Open.

Having not been held in 2020 or 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the showpiece event returns with the men, women, and all-abilities tournaments being held concurrently.

It is the first national Open worldwide to combine men’s and women’s fields, while the prize money for the two events is the same; $1.7 million AUD each.

“When I heard that the men’s and women’s Opens were coming together for the first time, I knew that I wanted to be there,” said Green, who won the mixed gender TPS Murray River, and the Vic Open, on her last visit.

“We’ve experienced this kind of concept with men and women playing together on the same courses at the same time … and to have it in place for the first time at a national Open is going to be something special.”

High profile Australians committing to return for the summer are increasing by the week after Lucas Herbert and Min Woo Lee recently confirmed they would also be playing.

World No.49 Herbert is down to play both the Australian Open, held at Victoria Golf Club and Kingston Heath on December 1-4, and the Australian PGA Championship at Royal Queensland the week prior.

Lee – now ranked 66th in the world and with top-30 finishes at three of this year’s majors – will play at the latter, which is co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour.

Meanwhile, Aussie golf fans are still waiting to hear if reigning Open Championship winner Cameron Smith will also return, having not played competitively in his home country since December 2019.

Smith confirmed last month that he will have an extended stay in Australia this summer to spend time with his family and friends after three years of separation.

But whether that stay will include playing at either the Australian Open, or the Australian PGA Championship – he’s previously won the latter twice – is unclear.

Also unclear is his next career moves after the FedEx Cup playoffs, having been linked to Greg Norman’s Saudi-backed LIV Golf series — claims that he hasn’t denied.

smith told Fox Sports after winning the Claret Jug that his plan is to play in both Australian events, but it is not his priority.

“I think my priority during those weeks is going to be to catch up with family and friends. I’ll probably stay a little bit after into Christmas and just really have a good time,” he told Fox Sports.

“I’m looking forward to that. You really have no idea. It’s been three years since I’ve been at home and just to see some familiar faces will be so nice.”

Meanwhile, another big-name Aussie, Marc Leishman, confirmed to foxsports.com.au last month that he was also eager to return to these shores, although no deal has been confirmed.

Houston nurse Nicole Linton charged with murder, gross vehicular manslaughter in Windsor Hills crash that killed 6

No Comments on Houston nurse Nicole Linton charged with murder, gross vehicular manslaughter in Windsor Hills crash that killed 6

37-year-old woman arrested in fiery wreck near Los Angeles that killed 5

A nurse from Houston was charged Monday with six counts of murder and five counts of gross vehicular manslaughter for the fiery crash that killed six people, including an infant and a pregnant woman.

Nicole Lorraine Linton, 37, was behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz that barreled through a red light at Slauson and La Brea avenues last Thursday and slammed into several other vehicles in the Windsor Hills area, according to the CHP. The six people killed included all the members of one family — 23-year-old Ashley Ryanthe child she was pregnant with, her boyfriend, 24-year-old Reynold Lester, who was the father of her unborn son, and her infant son Alonzo, who was about to celebrate his first birthday.

The charges include six counts of murder and five counts of vehicular manslaughter. District Attorney George Gascón said his office of him cannot file a manslaughter charge in a case involving an unborn child.

“This is a case that will always be remembered for the senseless loss of so many innocent lives as they simply went about their daily routines,” Gascón said in a statement.

Linton is expected to make an initial court appearance in the case on Monday. If convicted as charged, she could face 90 years to life in prison, Gascón said.

Surveillance video from the scene showed the Mercedes speeding through a red light in a 35 mph zone on La Brea at a speed authorities estimated was about 100 mph and broadsiding another vehicle, which exploded into flames. It was pushed into at least one other vehicle, and both ended up against a gas station sign on the corner of the intersection. The impact of the fiery crash left a trail of flames from the intersection.

Eight vehicles in total, including Linton’s, were involved in the crash. Linton’s Mercedes ended up near a bench down the street.

Two other women who died in the crash have yet to be identified, according to Gascón. The occupants of six other vehicles, including five in an SUV and another driver in another vehicle, were also injured.

“While the wreckage of this fiery crash at this intersection was removed and traffic eventually resumes, there is catastrophic damage to the families and friends of those killed and injured,” Gascón said. “It is not only a tremendous loss to the families but our entire community who learned of this incredible tragedy or have watched the now viral video of the collision.”

Gascón said there was no evidence of alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash, but it has not yet been ruled out.

The traveling nurse from Houston was arrested friday while she was still hospitalized for moderate injuries she sustained in the crash. She was released from Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center over the weekend, and is being held on a $9 million bail.

7 Galaxy Projectors to Gaze off Into Space With

At Gizmodo, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you’ll like it too. We have affiliate and advertising partnerships, which means we may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page. BTW – prices are accurate and items in stock at the time of posting.

If you’ve been looking to change the atmosphere of certain rooms in your home, then allow us to introduce you to the humble galaxy projector. These devices are surprisingly affordable and a unique way to add some ambience to your home. With the flick of a switch, you can totally change the mood of a room without needing to splash out on an expensive renovation (which is always a bonus if you’re renting).

A galaxy projector is also a great piece of free tech. Why not pair one with a mini projector and create a home cinema on a rainy day? It’ll feel just like a movie under the stars. Or plug it into a smart plug, so you can set routines that you can control with your voice?

If you want to know more about filling your home with some nifty pockets of intergalactic goodness, check out some of the best deals we’ve found below.

What’s a galaxy projector?

It’s a projector that projects galaxies, as the name suggests.

To be just a touch more precise, it’s a catch-all term for projectors that typically project some kind of starfield, usually designed to be pointed at the ceiling of a room. Some models will offer differing star fields, or planets and galaxies, while others may include embedded music or other added features. The essential features are basically just a light source and a star pattern of some sort, but there’s quite a bit of scope for a galaxy projector to do more than that.

Why would I want one?

There are a few different use cases for galaxy projectors, but just to name a few:

To help you sleep at night

Have you ever slept under the stars? It can be an amazing experience, but the outside world also has its fair share of cold weather, bugs and other discomforts. Having the stars above you while you sleep can make that tricky task of relaxing into a deep sleep much easier.

To create a romantic atmosphere

Need to pop a “special” question? Get the stars on your side – as long as you’re sure your prospective partner will view it as cute rather than cheesy.

To enhance entertainment

Line up a long session of Elite Dangerousset Kubrick’s classic 2001: A Space Odyssey to play – whatever takes your fancy. You can make things feel even more immersive when you’re in a room that is quite literally full of stars, whether that’s a family movie night, a wedding or your next party.

What are my Galaxy projector options?

There’s a wide range of projectors that will fling star fields indoors at different price points.

LED Galaxy Starry Night Light Projector – $27.99

A galaxy light that can switch between stars, moons or projected waves.

Starry Sky Projector + LED Ocean Wave Projector – $25.66

If you’re after stars in a range of colors, this projector can switch between 10 different color sets with 360-degrees of rotation.

LED Star Projector – now $19.99 (was $44.99)

Simple to use and perfect for children, this will serve as a wondrous night light.

BlissLite Sky Lights 2.0 – now $59.99 (was $89.99)

Precision glass optics give this skylight a hyper-real element.

Tomnew Remote Control Ocean Wave Projector – now $33.99 (was $39.99)

While the focus is more on projected water patterns, this projector comes with included speakers if you want music with your light shows.

Café 63 Star Night Light For Kids – now $26.99 (was $39.99)

A projector with modes covering a starry sky and a universe pattern, as well as a happy birthday message and a cover so it can do double duty as a night light.

Sky LED Projector Night Light – $49.99

This super easy-to-use projector offers three light options: star, nebula cloud and the moon. You can also control the brightness, angle and combination of light options.

Hopelessly devoted to the queen of my childhood

No Comments on Hopelessly devoted to the queen of my childhood

Like every Australian daughter of the 80s, I worshiped Olivia Newton-John. I’d spend hours in my bedroom wearing a Physical-style headband and legwarmers, listening to the cassette of her greatest hits and singing magic into my hairbrush.

On weekend trips to Video Ezy, I’d make a beeline for the VHS musicals and hire grease and Xanadu on alternate weekends. I’d watch until the tape went funny or my brother had a tantrum about being denied access to the VCR to watch Return of the Jedi.

Then during the week at primary school, we’d act out the scenes.

Parents were pretty loose about what their kids watched back then. None of us understood, but still dutifully enacted, Kenickie’s reference to his “25 cent insurance policy” during a steamy back-seat romp with Rizzo. We’d chant the “lousy with virginity” song at the top of our voices.

Journalist Jordan Baker with Olivia Newton-John.

But Olivia was the only one we cared about.

That voice, which gives me shivers even now. That face. And that accent, which she kept, and which showed girls in suburban Australia – always at least six months behind the rest of the world in everything back then – that one of us could make it over there.

We all wanted to be her. Countless backyard baby pools had to be emptied after a young girl in a white nightdress dunked pieces of paper in it, and peered into an imaginary photo of Danny singing Hopelessly Devoted to You.

Our ardent renditions of summer nights burst eardrums, both in the 1980s and at retro nightclubs in the decades since. And then there was the old smooching trick, when you’d face the wall, cross your arms, put your hands behind your back and wriggle like you were pashing Danny at Rydell High.

The backstories and controversies that have ignited feuds involving athletes
