Senate launches late-night votes to stave off US default, wrap up Biden-McCarthy debt ceiling deal

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:36:31 GMT

By LISA MASCARO, KEVIN FREKING, STEPHEN GROVES and FARNOUSH AMIRI (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Rushing to prevent a U.S. debt default, the Senate pressed ahead Thursday night to give final passage to a debt ceiling and budget cuts package and send it to President Joe Biden’s desk to become law before the fast-approaching deadline.Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced a late-night floor schedule with nearly a dozen amendments up for debate to the package Biden negotiated with Speaker Kevin McCarthy, though none was expected to be approved or change the overall deal.“Let’s finish the job,” Schumer implored his colleagues.Passage in the Senate will require cooperation between Democrats and Republicans, much the way the narrowly divided House was able to approve the compromise late Wednesday night. Fast action is vital if Washington is to meet next Monday’s deadline, when Treasury has said the U.S. will start running short of cash to p...

Meet of Champions: St. John’s Prep’s Nathan Lopez breaks long-standing two mile record

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:36:31 GMT

FITCHBURG — The two mile run is a grueling event that can sometimes lack the excitement of a sprinting race or the pole vault. Despite this, it was the event to watch at opening day of the MIAA Meet of Champions.That’s because St. John Prep’s Nathan Lopez, the two-time defending champ at the meet, came in with a chance to break a meet record that’s stood since 2004. That is exactly what the senior, a University of Michigan commit, did in a time of 8:59.29.“Just to have my name in the record books, even if it’s just for a little bit, is something special,” Lopez said. “It definitely doesn’t outweigh the emotion that comes with winning this title for the third time. That was something that was super, super big on my list of things I wanted to accomplish to close out my senior year.”As Lopez approached the finish line, he saved room for theatrics. The crowd was up from the start, and as Lopez approached the home stretch, a few fist bumps to the crowd preceded the final steps.“I d...
