Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:45:42 GMT

By Jill Colvin and Eric Tucker | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Former Vice President Mike Pence will not appeal a judge’s order compelling him to testify in the Justice Department’s investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, a spokesman said Wednesday.The decision sets the stage for a possible appearance by Pence in the coming weeks before a federal grand jury.Pence was subpoenaed months ago by the special counsel investigating attempts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to undo the election results before the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.Lawyers for Trump objected to the subpoena on executive privilege grounds, but a federal judge in Washington last week rejected those arguments, forcing Pence to testify. U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg did give Pence a win by accepting arguments by Pence’s lawyers that, for constitutional reasons, he could not be questioned about his actions on Jan. 6.Colvin reported from ...

Michigan repeals 1931 law banning abortion

By Joey Cappelletti | Associated PressBIRMINGHAM, Mich. — A near-century old abortion ban that fueled one of the largest ballot drives in Michigan history was repealed Wednesday by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, just months after voters enshrined abortion rights in the state’s constitution.“Today, we’re going to take action to make sure that our statutes and our laws reflect our values and our constitution,” Whitmer said at a bill signing outside of Detroit.The 1931 abortion ban made it a four-year felony to assist in an abortion. Roe v. Wade had made the law null and void until the landmark decision was overturned in June by the U.S. Supreme Court.Courts blocked the ban from taking effect while a citizen-led initiative to enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution received more signatures than any other ballot proposal in state history to put the question before voters. Voters overwhelmingly approved the proposal in last November’s midterms, ma...

Joc Pederson tore through Andrew Vaughn's glove pic.twitter.com/SivLorU2tr— White Sox Talk (@NBCSWhiteSox) April 5, 2023San Francisco Giants star outfielder Joc Pederson found a sure-fire way to get on base: hit the ball so hard it rips right through the fielder’s glove. That’s exactly what he did in the third inning of the Giants’ game against the Chicago White Sox Wednesday. White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn thought he caught the hard line drive only to watch it exit his glove and bounce behind him. The exit velocity off of Pederson’s bat was 109 mph, according to announcers. The play, originally called a hit, was later ruled an error by the White Sox.Joc Pederson rips ball through fielder’s glove. (Bay Area News Group) Apparently this is no fluke. Last season, Pederson had the second highest exit velocity among all lefties in Major League Baseball at 93.2 mph.
