The House on Tuesday rebuked President Donald Trump over one of his signature issues, passing a resolution to overturn his emergency declaration to unlock money for wall construction at the US southern border.The vote was 245-182. Thirteen Republicans voted with Democrats to pass the measure.The resolution will next be taken up by the Senate, where it will put Republican unity to the test, though Senate leaders have signaled they will not bring it to a vote immediately.It is not yet clear how many Republicans will vote for the resolution in the Senate, but it looks likely to pass the upper chamber, despite the fact that Republicans hold a majority. That would be yet another blow to the President, who has said he will veto the resolution if it comes to his desk.A test of Republican unity in the SenateIf four Republicans join all the Democrats in the Senate to pass the resolution, the measure would then face a presidential veto. The White House formally issued a veto threat on Tuesday afternoon.Congress would then need an overwhelming majority -- two-thirds of its members -- in both chambers to overrule the President. It is unlikely that there would be enough support on Capitol Hill to overturn a veto.So far, there are three Republicans who have signaled they will vote in favor of the resolution. And Senate GOP aides fully expect the resolution to pass when it is brought to the floor.GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who is 1464

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will hold a hearing this summer on a proposal to grant statehood to Washington, DC, reportedly the first House hearing in more than 25 years on the long-shot bid to transform the federal district into the nation's 51st state.The hearing on 304

The device looks similar to a taser, but acts more like a lasso with more and more police officers are adding it to their belt.“It will, much like a boomerang, wrap around the individuals extremities and prevent the individual from moving,” Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore said.LAPD is the most recent, and largest, police department to test the product. And their officers have to go through four hours of training to use it.“How could we provide the best tools and best options so officers would not have to resort to force, particularly deadly force,” Moore explained.Dozens of police departments around the U.S. are testing or have purchased the remote restraint device, including Sacramento, California, Fort Worth, Texas, and Minneapolis, Minnesota to name a few.“This tool is meant to be used early on in an encounter without causing pain to an individual,” Wrap Technologies Chief Operating Officer Mike Rothans said. He is a retired assistant sheriff with two children who work in law enforcement. The device works by releasing a cord that wraps around a person 20 to 25 feet away. On the end, there are metal anchors. The cord comes out of the device at 513 feet a second. At 10 feet, it drops to 270 feet a second.The devices costs ,000 a piece and are per use.“All you feel is maybe a metal slap from the anchors around each end of the cord. But it doesn’t really cause any pain,” Rothans said.Not everyone is convinced.What happens when someone’s in shorts or they’re in a skirt? What if they accidentally get someone’s neck?,” Cat Brooks, Co-founder of the Anti-Police Terror Project, explained. APTP is a coalition that works toward ending police terror.“We need to be transforming the way law enforcement engages with our community, not what weapons they have to be able to do so,” Brooks said.Rothans explained that one scenario the BolaWrap can be used in, is in the case of confronting someone dealing with a mental health problem.“Basically the issue with the mentally ill or dealing with people in crisis, isn’t unique to one particular area in the U.S.. It’s the same issue we see in small towns in Minnesota, or big cities like New York or Los Angeles,” he said. “Police officers have really become the de facto social services”People with severe mental illness are involved in at least one in four fatal police shootings, according to a study done by the Treatment Advocacy Center.“There’s really no reason to send a badge and a gun into that situation when you can send a mental health professional,” Brooks said.For officers, Rothans says this is a safer option that buys the responder some time.“This restricts their mobility and slows that individual down to allow officers to put a plan into place,” he explained.“There’s no perfect scenario or perfect formula,” Moore said during his press conference announcing the use of the device. 2899

The average 401(k) balance rose 17% last year to 2,300 from the end of 2018, according to a review of 17.3 million accounts by Fidelity Investments. The average individual retirement account, or IRA, balance rose the same percentage to 5,400.Surging markets around the world were a big reason for the growth: The S&P 500 index had one of its best years in decades with a 31.5% return. Investments of all types logged gains, from junk bonds to stocks from developing economies.But workers’ better savings habits also played a big role.Fidelity said the average worker set aside 8.9% of their pay in their 401(k) in the fourth quarter, a record. Combined with employer matches, the average total savings rate was 13.5% in the quarter, tying its record last reached in the spring of 2019.“Nobody can control the market, so the behaviors of people contributing to their 401(k)s are what get us the most excited,” said Katie Taylor, vice president of thought leadership at Fidelity. “We have people saving 13.5%, which is really close to the 15% that we recommend. That’s a great story.”In many cases, workers may not even realize they’re saving more. Most employers give the option for workers to automatically increase their contributions each year, without having to do anything. Some employers even automatically sign up their employees for these auto-escalation programs, requiring them to opt out if they don’t want their contribution levels to steadily rise.Such features are on top of programs where employers automatically enroll new hires in the 401(k) plan. They all lean on the power of inertia to help workers build up bigger nest eggs. It’s a sharp turnaround from earlier years when workers had to take an extra step to join the 401(k) plan and fill out paperwork whenever they wanted their contribution levels to change.“There’s always a way, if you don’t want to do it, where you can unenroll, but these automatic programs have been a game changer,” Taylor said.Consistent contributions — and giving them time to grow — are keys to building bigger portfolios. Among workers who have been in their 401(k) plan for 10 straight years, the average balance rose to a record 8,200, according to Fidelity.Such figures, though, count only people who have a 401(k). Many lower-income workers, particularly at smaller employers, could not save in a 401(k) even if they wanted to because their companies don’t offer access to one. Legislation passed late last year aims to make it easier for smaller employers to band together and offer plans.Nearly half of all U.S. households aged 55 and over, 48%, had no retirement savings at all as of 2016, according to estimates from the Government Accountability Office. 2737
