Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Friday that bomb threats targeted Democratic lawmakers days after President-elect Donald Trump’s team announced similar threats of violence against Trump’s Cabinet nominees. Three days after it was revealed that Trump’s nominees and their families endured bomb threats and “swatting” incidents, Jeffries claimed Thanksgiving Day threats of pipe bombs in mailboxes to “swatting” incidents against Democratic lawmakers, their familiars and law enforcement were “signed with ‘MAGA,’” according to a statement from his office. Hakeem Jeffries: Bomb threats made against Dem lawmakers ‘unacceptable’ https://t.co/D4jioiK56d — POLITICO (@politico) November 29, 2024 “Yesterday, during Thanksgiving celebrations, several Democratic Members of Congress, their families and law enforcement officials were targeted with violent threats. These incidents ranged from detailed threats of a pipe bomb placed in mailboxes to swatting, all signed with ‘MAGA’ at the conclusion of the message,” the statement read. Jeffries’ office confirmed to Politico that nearly all House and Senate Democrats from Connecticut, including Sen. Chris Murphy and Reps. Jim Hines, Joe Courtney, John Larson, Jahana Hayes and Rosa DeLauro, were targeted by Thursday’s threats. The House minority leader said all recipients were unharmed and that no devices were located. “America is a democracy. Threats of violence against elected officials are unacceptable, unconscionable and have no place in a civilized society. All perpetrators of political violence directed at any party must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” his statement said. Jeffries thanked law enforcement and assured that the Sergeant at Arms was working to safeguard members of Congress from menacing threats. “House Democrats will not be deterred or intimidated from serving the people by violent threats. We have been in close communication with the Sergeant at Arms office and it is imperative that Congress provide maximum protection for all Members and their families moving forward,” the statement said. DeLauro spoke out against the bomb threat she received Thursday on social media and thanked law enforcement, who found no bomb at her home. Today, I received a bomb threat similar to my colleagues in the Connecticut congressional delegation. The New Haven Police Department’s bomb squad has responded & determined no bomb was present at our home. I am thankful for their swift response & relieved no one was harmed. — Rosa DeLauro (@rosadelauro) November 28, 2024 “Today, I received a bomb threat similar to my colleagues in the Connecticut congressional delegation.

(AP) — Tampa Bay's surest path to the NFL playoffs is a division championship. The Buccaneers will need help to repeat in the NFC South , but only if they first and foremost give themselves a chance. That means winning their remaining games at home against Carolina and New Orleans, while the Atlanta Falcons lose at least once in the final two weeks of the regular season. The Bucs (8-7) and Falcons share the best record in the division, however Atlanta holds the tiebreaker after sweeping the season series between the teams. Tampa Bay, which has won three consecutive division titles, is the only NFC team that has made the playoffs each of the past four seasons. “We’ve got to take care of business or else we’ve got no shot,” quarterback Baker Mayfield said after a 26-24 loss at Dallas cost the Bucs control of the NFC South race. “This one, we've got to take it on the chin,” Mayfield added. “It's a short week. It's Christmas week. We've got to focus on Carolina and figure out a way to win.” If Atlanta is able to maintain its lead, Tampa Bay could make the postseason as a wild card if the Bucs win out and the Commanders lose twice. Coach Todd Bowles sounds confident that his players understand the challenge ahead and will clean up mistakes that contributed to the end of their four-game win streak. “We’ve got to win a ballgame (this week). If we don’t win a ballgame, we don’t give ourselves a chance,” Bowles said Monday. “We have to focus on us like we’ve been doing,” the coach added. “We have to correct the mistakes, and we have to go out and win Sunday, and we’ve got to win the next week, and then we’ll see what happens after that.” The offense, which ranks third in the NFL at 389.8 yards per game, isn't a fluke. Despite losing to the Cowboys, Tampa Bay finished with 410 yards total offense. It was the team's fifth straight game — as well as an NFL-high ninth overall — with 400-plus yards. The Bucs are seventh in rushing (143.7 yards per game) after ranking 32nd each of the past two seasons. The defense yielded 292 yards passing against the Cowboys, 226 of it in the first half when Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb had six catches for 100 yards and a touchdown. Bowles said shoddy tackling was the biggest issue — not poor coverage. Lamb had one reception for 5 yards after halftime. Mayfield's chemistry with rookie WR Jalen McMillan, who has 27 receptions for 336 yards and five TDs, continues to grow. McMillan had five catches for 57 yards and a touchdown — his fourth in the past three games — against Dallas. He was also the intended receiver on Mayfield's deep throw that CB Jourdan Lewis intercepted in the end zone to help the Cowboys hold off the Bucs in the closing minutes. Turnovers were costly against Dallas. The end-zone interception stopped the Bucs from cutting into a 26-17 deficit with 6:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. Rachaad White's fumble with 1:31 left ended any hope for a last-minute victory. On both plays, defenders ripped the ball out of the grasp of the offensive player. “We knew they were going to rake at the ball going into the ballgame," Bowles said. "We just have to have two hands on the ball, and we have to fight for it. We have to take better care of the football. That’s priority No. 1.” Bowles said it's too early to project the status of several starters for coming games, including S Antoine Winfield Jr. (knee), who has missed the past two games. TE Cade Otton (knee) and LB K.J. Britt (ankle) were inactive against the Cowboys, while reserve WR Sterling Shepard left during the game with a hamstring injury. 80. Bucky Irving leads all NFL rookie RBs with 920 yards rushing. He needs 80 over the next two games to reach 1,000. He scored his seventh rushing touchdown against Dallas. That tied Errict Rhett and Lars Tate for the second-most rushing TDs by a rookie running back in franchise history. Doug Martin set the record of 11 in 2012. Host Carolina on Sunday.

LAS VEGAS — Here’s a look at whose stock improved or declined after the on Sunday. The 26-year-old rookie had his best performance of the season. Vele had . The seventh-round pick has played solid football over the last three weeks. He’s had 18 catches for 185 yards and a touchdown during that span. This season, Vele is second on the team in receiving yards (361) and has a passer rating of 111.5 when targeted, according to NFL’s Next Gen Stats. Denver’s star cornerback took on the challenge of defending Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers and handled it well. Surtain lined up against Bowers six times, allowing one catch for 9 yards on four targets. Bowers had a strong performance last week in a loss to the Dolphins, recording 13 catches for 126 yards and a touchdown. When Denver played Las Vegas at home in Week 5, . At Allegiant Stadium, Denver’s defense kept Bowers in check, limiting him to just 38 yards on four catches. Surtain played a key role in containing Las Vegas’ best offensive player. Denver’s second-year wide receiver is beginning to be more involved on offense. Mims has totaled five catches for 93 yards and a touchdown during the team’s two-game win streak. He had 44 yards on three receptions Sunday, including a 37-yard catch in the fourth, which helped set up quarterback Bo Nix’s 2-yard . With due to a heel injury, the Broncos inserted Roach into the starting lineup, and he was effective. Roach had a sack and three pressures in the victory. Roach highlighted a strong day from Denver’s defensive line. Defensive end John Franklin-Myers had six pressures and defensive tackle D.J. Jones added four. Outside of kicker Wil Lutz going 5 for 5 on field goal attempts, Denver’s special teams had a shaky performance in Week 12. The Broncos gave up a 59-yard kick return to Raiders running back Dylan Laube. In the second quarter, Las Vegas perfectly executed a fake punt, allowing punter AJ Cole to throw a 34-yard pass to linebacker Divine Deablo. The starting running back’s roller-coaster season continued. After Williams recorded , he had eight carries for -2 yards against the Raiders. The Broncos had 63 yards on the ground — the fewest in a game this season. Running back Jaleel McLaughlin stood out among the three running backs, recording seven carries for 44 yards. But collectively, it wasn’t a good performance from Denver’s rushing attack. The Broncos have been held under 100 rushing yards in two of the last three games. Denver’s run blocking deserves a fair amount of blame. The Raiders, who entered the game allowing 125.1 rushing yards per contest, recorded eight run stuffs — tackles that resulted in no gain or a loss of yards, according to Next Gen Stats. Part of the issue was Denver struggling to hold off defenders up front and create gaps for the running backs to take advantage of. The Broncos committed six penalties on Sunday. Four of their penalties came from the offensive line, including right tackle Mike McGlinchey, who had three. Meanwhile, outside linebacker Nik Bonitto jumped offsides and cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian was flagged for defensive pass interference in the fourth.REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: JSPR) (Jasper), a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on development of briquilimab, a novel antibody therapy targeting c-Kit (CD117) to address mast cell driven diseases such as chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) and asthma, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in Jasper's Phase 1b/2a clinical challenge study evaluating briquilimab in allergic asthma, called ETESIAN ( E valuating T he E fficacy and S afety of briquilimab I n particip AN ts with allergic asthma). The ETESIAN study is evaluating a single administration of subcutaneous briquilimab in patients with asthma. "Dosing of the first patient in our ETESIAN study in asthma is a significant milestone, marking our third clinical program evaluating briquilimab in an inflammatory disease driven by unwanted mast cell activity,” said Edwin Tucker, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Jasper. "Following dose escalation through Part 2 of the BEACON study in CSU, we obtained regulatory clearance to move directly to a subcutaneous 180mg dose in the ETESIAN study, which we believe will drive deep mast cell depletion in the airways and enable durable clinical benefit for patients with asthma. We look forward to providing enrollment updates as we progress through the study and anticipate reporting the initial data in the second half of 2025.” The Phase 1b/2a ETESIAN study is a single dose double-blind, placebo-controlled challenge study that is expected to enroll approximately 30 patients across as many as 7 sites in Canada with a key objective of demonstrating proof-of-concept in asthma utilizing a potential therapeutic dose to inform future trials in the broader asthma population. The study will be conducted utilizing a single 180mg dose of subcutaneous briquilimab and key assessments will include both early and late asthmatic response, changes in airway hyperresponsiveness, mast cell depletion and recovery, and safety. "Depletion of mast cells via inhibition of c-Kit is a novel mechanism with the potential to alleviate asthmatic response in patients underserved by existing therapies,” said Paul O'Byrne, M.D., Professor, Dean and Vice President of the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University. "As a potent and targeted c-Kit inhibitor, I believe briquilimab has the potential to overcome the safety issues that have limited development of other c-Kit inhibiting agents and, in turn, serve as an important treatment option for patients suffering from asthma. I look forward to enrolling patients into the ETESIAN study.” About Briquilimab Briquilimab is a targeted aglycosylated monoclonal antibody that blocks stem cell factor from binding to the cell-surface receptor c-Kit, also known as CD117, thereby inhibiting signaling through the receptor. This inhibition disrupts the critical survival signal, leading to the depletion of the mast cells via apoptosis which removes the underlying source of the inflammatory response in mast cell driven diseases such as chronic urticaria and allergic asthma. Jasper is currently conducting clinical studies of briquilimab as a treatment in patients with CSU, CIndU or asthma. To date, briquilimab has a demonstrated efficacy and safety profile in more than 160 dosed participants and healthy volunteers, with clinical outcomes in CIndU, and as a conditioning agent in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), Fanconi anemia (FA), and sickle cell disease (SCD).

The commission had earlier stated that they would not cancel the Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination (CCE) 2024 that was held on December 13. Moreover, Political strategist-turned-activist Prashant Kishor also gave a period of three days to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to resolve the issue. The protesters demanded to meet CM Nitish Kumar during the Sunday protest to discuss the impasse. However, a clash between the police and the demonstrators ensued. The cops lathi-charged and used water cannons to disperse the crowd as protesters broke barricades set up near JP Golambar. At Gandhi Maidan, the scuffle between the police and BPSC aspirants broke out after the protestors attempted to march towards Dak Bungalow via Fraser Road. The police deployed heavy security and placed barricades near Hotel Maurya to contain the protestors. The protests have been going on in Patna since the exams were held but has now gained momentum with the support of activists, politicians and educationalists. Kishor, also the founder of Jan Suraaj Party, said that irregularities and paper leaks have become a norm as far as BPSC exams are concerned. “It can't go on like this... We have to find a solution,” said Kishor, adding that that’s why they decided to organise 'Chatra Sansad' (students' congregation) at the Gandhi Maidan. RJD leader and former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav, expressing his solidarity with the protesters, wrote a letter to the CM, demanding cancellation of the exams. Patna District Magistrate (DM) Chandrasekhar Singh said that the district administration will not allow students to congregate at Gandhi Maidan as it is a restricted area. Last week, BPSC Examination Controller Rajesh Kumar Singh said that there is no question of cancelling the entire exam that was held on December 13. The only reason BPSC decided to cancel the preliminary examination at Bapu Pariksha Parisar centre was due to a disruption by a group of unruly aspirants, and will now be held on January 4 at another centre. Singh accused a “group of private coaching institutes” of instigating aspirants. (With agency inputs)

As Jesus begins his public ministry, He encounters some regular, ordinary guys who will do extraordinary things. Simon and his brother Andrew, fishers of fish, are the first. Jesus calls them, “Follow me.” He will make of them fishers of people—men, women and children. Jesus comes across another couple of guys, mending their nets ... working with family and some hired workers, for they too are fishermen. And again, Jesus calls, “Follow me.” These men are “saints” in the sense that they have been called by Jesus to a holy purpose. This call from Jesus is not an invitation. Like, come if you want. Or go home and think about the opportunity and let me know if you’re up to it, if you’re interested, or if you have time. Jesus commanded these four. This reminds me of the occasion when Jesus commands His disciples to feed the thousands who gathered to hear Him. The disciples wanted Jesus to send them on their way to fend for themselves, but He commands them, “You feed them.” And they do. Our disciples leave behind family and the family business for the sake of a new purpose for their lives. They become the beginning community that Jesus is forming, a community that will be shaped by Jesus’ unconditional love, grace, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and obedience. When Jesus speaks about the nearness of God’s Kingdom, in the person of Jesus, it literally touches and changes peoples’ livers – as in this call by Jesus, going from one vocation to a different one. Or in the case of people who are healed—lepers, those who couldn’t walk, those who couldn’t see, the ones who are possessed by the demons in their lives. Because of a one-on-one encounter with Jesus, people are restored in body, mind, in their relationships, and restored to community. Jesus looks inside of us ... He knows us ... but not just in the sense of as we are, but what we might become. Jesus sees the potential. He sees the potential of those He is calling and commanding to follow. He sees it in you, what you might become. Jesus will spend His time revealing what God is like — His love for the whole world, God’s desire for the healing of broken relationships, His generosity in forgiving. Jesus gives us knowledge for how to live in this world, how to be with each other—love one another, forgive one another, encourage one another, pray for one another. Jesus shows his disciples by doing, service above self, looking to needs of others, reaching out to those who are different, to the neglected, rejected, the outcast and judged. And they are to embrace these others in love. God is calling you in your baptism! And your experiences in the church—worship, Bible reading and study, praying, serving, being part of a faith community, the good that you learned and encouragement in the faith received from your parents, grandparents, Sunday School teachers and pastors through the years—all of that is equipping you for ministry. The fishing trade of those first disciples likely served as part of their preparation for what Jesus commanded of them, a movement from fishing for fish to fishing for people. Days when they had small catches and other times when they made a huge haul. Times when the waters were calm, and others when storms arose, and having to deal with fears. Times of celebration and Sign up to get our free daily email of the biggest stories! occasions of disappointment. Today, the Church can’t afford for pastors to die or retire. Why such a comment? The trends we’ve been seeing for a number of years in many of our denominations, is that fewer young people are considering a vocation as an ordained pastor or priest. Even churches needing an interim to serve for a period of time till they can call a new pastor find it more difficult with the aging and death of clergy. Churches are having to develop new ways of doing ministry, including the formation of cooperative ministries involving groups of churches working together and sharing pastoral staff. Denominations are also developing new ways of educating their seminary students, with students learning with the help of technology and at the same time, serving in church sites under supervision. Now more than ever, we must lift up “the priesthood of all believers,” understanding that each of us has been called by God to serve because of our baptism. Everyone is a minister! The baptized have been gifted with faith and the Holy Spirit. And the gifts of the Holy Spirit{span id=”docs-internal-guid-c9446139-7fff-1f59-6a84-e988e148e1f2”}{span}— {/span}{/span}preaching, teaching, healing, compassionate caring and other gifts—will serve to not only build up the body of Christ but also to reach persons who have no connection with Christ and the Church. St. Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians, “(Christ) himself granted that some are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry ,,,” When youth are provided training and opportunity to serve in particular ministries of the church, they do well and come to see that they are truly important persons in the Church. As youth and adults become more involved in the ministry and fellowship of the Church, the more they see themselves as an important part of the community. A parishioner named Barbara underwent training for hospital visitation. And even though she had reservations how she might be received as a lay person by those she visited, found persons genuinely appreciative of her presence, her sharing the Word, listening to them, praying with them, and at times offering the Sacrament. Another parishioner visiting a 100-year-old Alzheimer resident in a nursing home, found that sometimes just holding an old woman’s hand is a ministry of care and compassion. Jesus is calling! “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”Nassau County DWI Lawyer Russ Kofman Releases Insightful Article on DWI Laws in Nassau County 12-02-2024 11:18 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: ABNewswire Nassau County DWI lawyer [ https://www.lebedinkofman.com/nassau-county-dwi-lawyer/ ] Russ Kofman of Lebedin Kofman LLP has recently released a comprehensive article addressing the intricacies of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) laws in Nassau County, New York. The piece offers a detailed breakdown of the state's stringent DWI regulations, the potential consequences of a conviction, and the critical role legal representation plays in such cases. In his article, the Nassau County DWI lawyer emphasizes that New York's DWI laws are among the strictest in the nation, reflecting the state's commitment to road safety. He explains that individuals charged with DWI often face a daunting legal process that can affect every aspect of their lives. "A DWI conviction has the potential to disrupt a person's career, personal relationships, and even the ability to perform everyday activities like driving to work or school." The Nassau County DWI lawyer goes on to highlight the importance of understanding the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limits in New York. The state enforces a BAC threshold of 0.08% for most drivers, with stricter limits for commercial drivers (0.04%) and those under 21 (Zero Tolerance Law). However, Kofman notes that drivers can still face charges for a BAC as low as 0.05% under Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) laws. One of the key takeaways from the article is the severity of penalties for DWI offenses in Nassau County. For a first-time DWI conviction, individuals may face fines ranging from $500 to $1,000, up to one year in jail, and a minimum six-month license revocation. Repeat offenses carry even harsher consequences, with a third conviction within ten years classified as a felony, often resulting in state imprisonment. Kofman sheds light on aggravated DWI charges, which apply when a driver's BAC is 0.18% or higher. These cases carry steeper penalties, including fines of up to $2,500, a one-year license revocation, and mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device. According to Kofman, the implications of such charges underscore the need for a robust legal defense. The article also covers Leandra's Law, a New York State statute that imposes severe penalties on drivers caught operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a child under 15 years old. Under this law, even a first offense is classified as a felony, and offenders are required to install ignition interlock devices on their vehicles. Kofman notes that Leandra's Law reflects the state's zero-tolerance approach toward impaired driving, particularly when it endangers children. In addition to outlining the penalties, Kofman's article provides practical advice for individuals pulled over on suspicion of DWI. He explains the rights motorists have during a traffic stop, including the right to remain silent and the right to refuse vehicle searches without a warrant or probable cause. However, he cautions that refusing breathalyzer or chemical tests can lead to immediate license suspension and may be used as evidence against the driver in court. "Understanding an individual's rights during a DWI stop is crucial," says Kofman. "The decisions made in those moments can significantly impact the outcome of the case. That's why it's essential to consult with a Nassau County DWI lawyer as soon as possible." The article also explores various defense strategies that can be employed in DWI cases. These include challenging the legality of the traffic stop, questioning the accuracy of sobriety and chemical tests, and identifying procedural errors made by law enforcement. Kofman explains that even minor mistakes by police officers can result in evidence being deemed inadmissible, potentially leading to a dismissal of charges. Kofman's article doesn't shy away from discussing the long-term repercussions of a DWI conviction. Beyond fines and jail time, individuals may face increased insurance premiums, difficulties obtaining employment, and even immigration issues for non-citizens. Additionally, the social stigma of a conviction can strain personal relationships and damage one's reputation. To mitigate these consequences, Kofman stresses the importance of timely and competent legal representation. "A DWI conviction can have a ripple effect on an individual's entire life. That's why it's critical to have a lawyer who can not only defend in court but also assist with the repercussions of a conviction," he explains. For those facing DWI charges in Nassau County, the stakes are high, but the right legal representation can make a significant difference. Kofman's article serves as both a guide and a reminder that individuals have options, even in the most challenging situations.
