The nonpartisan CBO estimated the provisions relating to SNAP would add $2.1 billion in direct spending and 78,000 people would gain benefits in an average month. Work requirements for government safety net programs are back in the spotlight as the House readies for a key vote on the debt ceiling deal brokered by President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy. In a twist, a new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office released late Tuesday found tougher rules for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that Republicans demanded would actually increase the number of people eligible for benefits, sometimes referred to as food stamps. The nonpartisan agency estimated the provisions relating to SNAP would add $2.1 billion in direct spending and 78,000 people would gain benefits in an average month. Top Republicans are calling the CBO report flat-out inaccurate, and McCarthy suggested the agency "double counted" some recipients already exempt from work requireme...

A Pennsylvania restaurant owner who screamed death threats directed at then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi while storming the U.S. Capitol has been sentenced to two years and three months in prison A Pennsylvania restaurant owner who screamed death threat s directed at then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi while storming the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Tuesday to more than two years in prison . Pauline Bauer was near Pelosi's office suite on Jan. 6, 2021, when she yelled at police officers to bring out the California Democrat so the mob of Donald Trump supporters could hang her. In January, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden convicted Bauer of riot-related charges after hearing trial testimony without a jury. The judge sentenced her to two years and three months of imprisonment, giving her credit for the several months she already has served in jail, court records show. Prosecutors had recommended a prison sentence of six years and six months for Bauer, 55, of Kane, Pennsylvania. Bauer w...

I hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend! Emiliano Grillo sure did, winning the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth and picking up this first victory since 2015. Did you catch a glimpse of the sweet Ford Bronco he gets to take home? A very cool addition to the trophy (because you can’t put a Bronco in the trophy cabinet!). We move onto another elevated event — the ninth of the year — on the PGA Tour, and this week is always one of the schedule highlights. The Memorial Tournament is held at “Jack’s Place”: Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. This is Jack Nicklaus’ masterpiece, and he traditionally awaits the winner on the 18th green on Sunday with a congratulatory handshake. This has always been one of the elite tournaments, and a victory here holds a great deal of prestige. The course was host to one of the dramatic scenes in golf withdrawals in this post-COVID era. In 2021, Jon Rahm held a convincing 54-hole lead but was told literally moments after his Sat...

Manchester United's aura has diminished since the days of Sir Alex Ferguson but they are still a formidable force widely regarded as one of, if not the, biggest club in the world. They have a storied history and a trophy cabinet that backs up their claims of being one of the best clubs around, with much of their success centred around the 27-year reign of Fergie. In the Premier League era, there's been no better side than United. Yes, they haven't won a title since 2013, but they do have an incredible 13 already tucked under the belt - many of those delivered under the greatest of pressure. United's success has often required a performance on the final day of the season, and it's no surprise to learn that they have a pretty handy record when it's all on the line.

Serbia has condemned NATO-led peacekeepers stationed in neighboring Kosovo for their alleged failure to stop “brutal actions” by Kosovo police against ethnic Serbs BELGRADE, Serbia -- Serbia on Saturday condemned NATO-led peacekeepers stationed in neighboring Kosovo for their alleged failure to stop “brutal actions” by Kosovo police against ethnic Serbs, and said that its armed forces stationed near the border will remain on the highest state of alert until further notice. Serbia’s top political and security leadership, led by President Aleksandar Vucic, met in Belgrade on Saturday following violent clashes a day earlier between Kosovo police and ethnic Serbs that injured more than a dozen people. In response to the clashes, Vucic on Friday ordered troops closer to the border with Kosovo. “Due to the brutal use of force by (Kosovo Prime Minister) Albin Kurti and his forces against the Serbian people in Kosovo … the armed forces of the Republic of Serbia will remain at the highest level...

The Oklahoma Legislature has overridden Gov. Kevin Stitt's veto of a bill that would allow students to wear Native American regalia during high school and college graduations OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Oklahoma Legislature on Thursday overrode Gov. Kevin Stitt’s veto of a bill that would allow students to wear Native American regalia during high school and college graduations. The state House and Senate easily cleared the two-thirds threshold needed to uphold the measure, which takes effect July 1 and had strong support from many Oklahoma-based tribes and Native American citizens. It would allow any student at a public school, including colleges, universities and Technology centers, to wear tribal regalia such as traditional garments, jewelry or other adornments during official graduation ceremonies. Weapons such as a bow and arrow, tomahawk or war hammer are specifically prohibited. Stitt, a Cherokee Nation citizen who has feuded with many Oklahoma-based Native American tribes throu...

An overdue book was returned to a California library earlier this month after being checked out for nearly 100 years. An overdue book was returned to a California library after being checked out for nearly 100 years. The book, "A History of the United States" by Benson Lossing, was due back at the St. Helena Public Library in Napa Valley in February 1927, Chris Kreiden, the library's director, told ABC News. Earlier this month, Napa Valley resident Jim Perry returned the book, which was passed down originally by his late wife's grandfather. Perry said he wasn't aware of the significance of its return until he saw reports while out of town at his brother-in-law's son's wedding.

ABC News tracked dozens of plastic bags placed in retailers' recycling bins as part of an investigation into the effectiveness of America’s recycling streams. For more than a decade, Courtney Williams and her family have lived in the shadow of the Wheelabrator waste-to-energy incinerator, located along the Hudson River in Peekskill, New York. "We go outside, we open the door, and the … kind of burning plastic smell hits us," Williams told ABC News. A low income and mostly minority community, the city is also around a decommissioned nuclear power plant, a sewage disposal facility and multiple chemical plants. Despite loving the people and riverside culture in Peekskill, living beside so many sources of pollution has often led Williams to second guess her decision to move her family there.
