Blacc encouraged people “to offer a moment of joy” when they reach out and to share a positive memory that’s going to bring the person joy. He also elaborated on his fellow panelists’ remarks about how people can “show up” for someone who is having suicidal ideation, explaining that he and his friends have since created “a system of check-ins from everyone within this constellation of support” to help loved ones in need. It’s too easy in California to force a costly and wasteful special election like Tuesday’s vote. Those who have spent considerable time with Newsom say they have never heard the governor openly hanker after the White House. Harris and Newsom came up together through San Francisco politics, where Harris was elected district attorney and Newsom, after a time on the Board of Supervisors, served two terms as mayor.

Why isn’t Trump charged in the new Arizona indictment?

Harris flew to the Bay Area for a homestretch anti-recall rally alongside the governor. Privately, each didn’t mind watching the other squirm just a bit, say those familiar with their personal dynamic. But even if Trump loses his extreme absolute immunity bid, the Supreme Court might rule that ex-presidents enjoy some level of legal protection. Whatever precise form that immunity takes remains to be seen in the court’s decision. The ruling might not theoretically save Trump from a trial in the federal election interference case, because at least some of the acts described in the indictment couldn't possibly be deemed "official." But the delay might help Trump anyway.

Why Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2003 tabloid deal came up at Trump’s hush-money trial

The president’s next stop in Las Vegas on Sunday will come just before Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Nevada. Biden supporters in New Hampshire nonetheless ran a write-in campaign for the president, which he handily won last week. The incumbent president is expected to win the Democratic nomination by a large margin over minor candidates in the race such as Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson. In the absence of immediate consequences, the biggest takeaway from the gag order hearing may be that the judge questioned Trump lawyer Blanche’s credibility.

All the while, prosecutors have been pressing Judge Juan Merchan to hold Trump in contempt over several alleged gag order violations. They’ve brought to the judge's attention several statements and social media posts about witnesses and jurors. There was a hearing Tuesday on one set of alleged violations, though Merchan still hasn’t ruled. In fact, he set another hearing on additional alleged violations for next week.

We saw this week that a main one may be a New York state election law that bars people from conspiring to promote or prevent a person’s election by unlawful means. So expect to hear more about an election-related conspiracy as the case proceeds. If Trump has his way, staging coups and ordering murders could be immune from prosecution. Democratic-appointed justices pressed his lawyer, John Sauer, on those hypotheticals at Thursday’s hearing. Incredibly, Sauer said they might qualify as “official acts” that are off-limits for prosecutors.

Joe Biden Says He's "Happy to" Debate Donald Trump, Whose Team Quickly Agrees

Military Academy at West Point in May, while Harris is only slated to give a graduation speech at the Air Force Academy. First lady Jill Biden, who teaches at a community college, is expected to deliver a commencement address, though no school has been named. “I’m here because I am my beloved mother’s daughter and on the day she died, which will be the two-year anniversary in one week, the disease of mental illness was lying to her and with great terror convinced her that it would never get better,” Judd continued. He seems a shoo-in for reelection next year unless, say, the governor returns to the French Laundry to sign legislation parking oil rigs off the shoreline from San Diego to Crescent City. As vice president, Harris is the undisputed favorite to succeed President Biden — though really, truly, she would insist, seeking the White House is not anything she’s thinking about. It may not be top of the mind at the moment, but at some point it will be.

Political insight and clarity on where the decision-makers stand on complex issues. The House has passed a bill that would lead to a nationwide ban on the popular video app TikTok if its China-based owner doesn’t sell. The approach aims to reduce substance abuse, train more personnel and address the needs of those in underserved communities.

The dinner will also be livestreamed on C-SPAN’s YouTube at 8 p.m. Jost follows in the footsteps of previous comedians who have headlined the dinner over the years, including Roy Wood Jr., Trevor Noah, Jay Leno, Keegan-Michael Key and more. 'Saturday Night Live' star Colin Jost is set to headline this year's event on Saturday. PT, MSNBC will be inside the WHCD, again with coverage hosted by Mohyeldin.

President Biden on Saturday signed legislation reauthorizing a key U.S. surveillance law after divisions over whether the FBI should be restricted from using the program to search for Americans’ data nearly forced the statute to lapse. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., visited multiple Wisconsin college campuses this week as a member of the Biden campaign's national advisory board. He said he found, as the Harvard poll showed, that inflation and health care were top concerns among students, but that the situation in Gaza was often a subject of respectful debate. The campaign next week will launch a major effort targeting young voters on abortion rights timed to the end of the school year, Levenson said. The president will make a stop here before heading to Nevada on Sunday, where he will participate in a political event, The White House Press Office confirmed. Deadline reported that First Lady Jill Biden will accompany the president to speak with Black entertainment industry leaders about their support for his reelection bid.

In a video posted to the platform soon after Biden signed the bill, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew said he is confident TikTok would win in court, adding that users should not expect issues with the app in the meantime. "Congress is acting to prevent foreign adversaries from conducting espionage, surveillance, maligned operations, harming vulnerable Americans, our servicemen and women, and our U.S. government personnel." It has become the trendsetter in the world of short-form video and is used by 170 million Americans, which is about half of the country. It is where one-third of young people get their news, according to Pew Research Center. Still, the law is not expected to cause any immediate disruption to TikTok, as a forthcoming legal challenge, and various hurdles to selling the app, will most likely cause months of delay.

Last fall, Harris conducted what the White House called a "Fight for Our Freedoms" tour of colleges, where she visited nine different campuses and spoke to a combined 15,000 students. Biden has held some recent events at smaller colleges, with small and carefully vetted audiences. Large-scale campaign-style rallies on or near campuses have been a staple of general election campaigns, especially for Democratic candidates, but the Biden campaign has been focusing on more intimate gatherings that can be filmed and distributed by its digital team. Another White House official declined to preview how Biden might address the campus unrest. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters this week that Biden always views these addresses "as a special time to deliver a message — an encouraging message, a message that's hopefully uplifting to the graduates and their families."

"They should be working to enact comprehensive privacy legislation that protects our private data no matter where we choose to engage online." The sentiment was echoed by Kate Ruane, who runs the Center for Democracy & Technology's Free Expression Project, who said the law is unconstitutional and a blow to free expression in the U.S. The measure was tucked into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. The law stipulates that ByteDance must sell its stake in TikTok in 12 months under the threat of being shut down.

Discovery-owned news network will be spotlighting the journalism-student scholarships and award winners as much as the celebs. The Washington, D.C., prosecution has been on hold pending the immunity ruling. So the justices’ decision to take up the appeal in the first place, then to not hear it until the last argument day of the term, and now embarking on crafting a historic ruling all point against any trial happening by the election. Of course, if Trump wins that election, his federal cases will be as good as gone, and any state cases (which he can’t pardon) may at least be stalled while he’s in office.

Senate passes $1.2-trillion funding package in overnight vote, ending threat of partial shutdown

Next week, Trump’s criminal trial continues in its second week of testimony. The Supreme Court, meanwhile, is done with arguments for the term and now has a thick stack of appeals to decide. Beyond Trump’s weighty case, the justices have many crucial disputes to resolve by their unofficial late June deadline on abortion, guns and much more. If they wait until the end to decide Trump v. United States, that will push a pre-election trial in Washington to at least the precipice of the November election, further emphasizing that the defendant is running to stay out of prison. But members on the House and Senate intelligence committees as well as the Justice Department warned that requiring a warrant would severely handicap officials from quickly responding to imminent national security threats. Still, officials had said that court approval shouldn’t be a substitute for congressional authorization, especially since communications companies could cease cooperation with the government if the program is allowed to lapse.

Blanche, you’re losing all credibility.” It should go without saying that that’s a bad thing for a lawyer to hear, especially at this early stage of the trial. But there's much more lawyering to be done on both sides as this case heats up. After opening statements Monday, prosecutors called their first witness, David Pecker. The former National Enquirer publisher made sense as an opening act. He was there from the start of the alleged “catch and kill” scheme ahead of the Stormy Daniels hush-money payoff and the alleged cover-up of the reimbursement to Michael Cohen of that payoff. (Trump has pleaded not guilty and denied having an affair with Daniels.) Again, the falsifying business records charges are for allegedly covering up Cohen’s reimbursement, not the hush-money payment itself.

Further litigation over applying the justices’ new immunity test to Trump’s case could add even more delay to the already-delayed case. One of the major changes detractors had proposed centered on restricting the FBI’s access to information about Americans through the program. Though the surveillance tool targets only non-Americans in other countries, it also collects communications of Americans when they are in contact with those targeted foreigners. Sen. Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the chamber, had been pushing a proposal that would require U.S. officials to get a warrant before accessing American communications. But some have pushed back, including Democratic Sen. Edward Markey of Massachusetts. He said on the Senate floor on Tuesday that there is "no credible evidence" that TikTok presents a real national security threat just because its parent company is based in China.

President Biden has signed a law that gives ByteDance up to a year to fully divest from TikTok, or face a nationwide ban. He also said Biden should not be reluctant to address the issue directly with young voters. "Gaza is a challenging issue. And we can't just wish it away," he said in an interview. "It would be wrong to think that's not impacting organizers and activists who are engaged in helping get support for the president." "One of the first things that a young person tells me is that they don't feel understood," Della Volpe said.

Needless to say, I’ll be curious to see how the president reacts to any of these rulings and, more broadly, to the court that struck down abortion rights and whose public approval has sunk amid ethical scandals and calls for reform. The lawmakers had demanded that Schumer allow votes on amendments to the legislation that would seek to address what they see as civil liberty loopholes in the bill. In the end, Schumer was able to cut a deal that would allow critics to receive floor votes on their amendments in exchange for speeding up the process for passage. Reece says even simple questions, like someone asking her how she slept, gives her an opportunity to connect about mental health. National intelligence laws in China would require ByteDance to hand over data on Americans if authorities there sought it, but TikTok says it has never received such a request. Any company, or set of investors, angling to purchase TikTok would have to receive the blessing of the Chinese government, and officials in Beijing have strongly resisted a forced sell.

Trump’s alleged gag order violations continued to lurk in the background of the trial. Judge Juan Merchan held a hearing Tuesday on some of those alleged violations, with another hearing scheduled for next week based on other statements. But heading into the weekend, Merchan still hasn’t ruled on the matter, so the defendant hasn’t faced even minimal consequences for his apparent serial violations of a court order. In the trial that’s happening, Manhattan prosecutors gave their opening statement and called their first witness, David Pecker. The former National Enquirer publisher testified that he agreed with then-candidate Trump and fixer Michael Cohen to look out for negative stories impacting the 2016 campaign. Pecker is an important first witness, setting the stage for the Stormy Daniels hush money payoff at the center of the case.

Certain to puncture some egos and boost others, Fox News Channel’s Jimmy Failla will host Fox News Saturday Night from the WHCD red carpet from 9-11 p.m. Set to sit down with other FNC talents like White House correspondent Peter Doocy and Fox News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream, Failla will also offer commentary on both Biden and Jost’s remarks. Already soirees all over Washington have seen Jost, spouse Scarlett Johansson, Rosario Dawson, Chris Pine, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, Jellyroll, The Diplomat‘s Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell out and about this week and today leading up to the big event this evening. (Updated with more details) There’s no Saturday Night Live today, but President Joe Biden is just hours away from stepping up as comedian-in-chief at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Wallace then proceeded with the show and discussed Donald Trump’s criminal trial.

Lawmakers from both parties have argued that TikTok poses a national security risk to Americans, since the Chinese government could use the app to spy on Americans, or influence what U.S. users see on their TikTok feeds, something that has gained new urgency in an election year. Chinese tech giant ByteDance, in 2017, purchased the popular karaoke app Musical.ly and relaunched the service as TikTok. Since then, the app has been under the microscope of national security officials in Washington fearing possible influence by the Chinese government. For months, the Biden campaign has been "obsessed" with finding new and innovative ways to motivate younger voters, according to a senior official. The campaign notes that it launched a young voter program earlier than past presidential campaigns and has already begun deploying staff to start organizing a presence at colleges in targeted states.

There are free lots for all-day parking available nearby on Harney Street and Twiggs Street. There are also a handful of two hour unmetered parking spots on the roads of historic Old Town near the museum. You’ll also learn about Violet Whaley, whose sad death keeps her tethered to the house, and Tommie Whaley, whose cries can supposedly still be heard at night, over 150 years later. You’ll hear about the founder of the house, Thomas Whaley, and his wife Anna Whaley. These two continue to watch over the house long after their death, often being spotted roaming the halls and out on the grounds. These exhibits focus on what life was like in New Town right after its founding.

Woman’s Foot Injured by Her Own Vehicle in San Diego

It turns out, Bertolacci was a con artist who only married Violet in the hopes of securing some of the Whaley family fortunes upon their marriage. When this didn’t come to fruition, he bolted, leaving Violet alone and beside herself. Over the course of the next ten years, Thomas invested in a stock that proved to be financially beneficial.

Serving to cement the house’s hauntings are several sightings of physical objects being manipulated on their own, such as the music room’s chandelier, which will swing back and forth at will when no wind is present. Lights will turn off and on without explanation, too, and there is frequently the presence of an odd mist that seems to linger. It’s interesting to add that many people have detected the scent of French perfume permeating the house, a favorite of Anna’s that she often wore. The Whaley House is perhaps the most famous of all haunted locations in San Diego, with its stories told in magazines, movies, and television shows. Still standing to this day, the Whaley House is located in San Diego, California, and is presently maintained by a live-in caretaker under the employ of a group called the “Save Our Heritage Organization, or SOHO.

Whaley House stands today as a classic example of mid-nineteenth century Greek Revival architecture. It is owned by the County of San Diego and is managed by Old Town Trolley Tours. While after-dark ghost tours are available year-round, the museum shows off its haunted heritage in full swing during the month of October. These ghost-centric Halloween events at the Whaley House Museum are sure to delight anyone interested in the supernatural. Evening guided tours at the Whaley House Museum bring visitors on a guided tour through the different rooms of the museum.

As you walk through the house, you’ll gain a newfound appreciation for what it was like to live in San Diego in the 19th century, all by exploring a genuine part of that history. The Whaley House Museum offers tours dedicated to either explaining the history of the house and the Whaley family, or uncovering some of its mysterious folklore. The historic part of the attraction is centered around the Whaley family as well as the history of the house itself. Entering the house will take you back to the mid-1800s, shortly after the house’s construction, and the following years when the house underwent many changes.

The Whaley House San Diego Story was written and edited by Hedge Metreyeon. Since I hadn’t visited the Whaley House in years, we decided to visit. We were looking over the bedrooms and trying to guess which family member slept there without looking at the pamphlet. Not to mention, while her husband was away, she was held at gunpoint by a group of men so they could steal courtroom records.

A daytime self-guided tour costs $13.30 per person, and an evening guided tour costs $18.00 per person. Located at 2476 San Diego Avenue in historic Old Town San Diego, the Whaley House stands today as a classic example of mid-nineteenth century Greek Revival architecture. Formally dedicated as a historic house museum and open to the public, it is one of southern California's most popular visitor destinations. Over 100,000 people visit the Whaley House annually, with guests traveling from across the globe to experience this world-renowned museum.

The biggest reason to love the iconic Whaley House is its versatile activity option that attracts history buffs, ghost hunters, families, and curious travelers alike. Free parking is located just north of the Whaley House off Harney street. The parking lot is known to fill up quickly, so come early and with plenty of time before your tour starts to secure a spot. Right behind Whaley House though is the New Orleans Creole Cafe, housed in a late 1890s building. You can also check out Old Town Mexican Cafe, Cafe Coyote, or Harney Sushi for some quality food after enjoying your tour.

Today the residence serves as a museum that is open to the public. There, people can get a first-hand look at the house that was meant to be the Whaley’s forever home. A young woman has been reported on numerous occasions to inhabit the second floor of the house. This ghost is widely believed to be that of young Violet Whaley, still saddened over her broken sham of a marriage. Her longing to linger on the second floor is attributed to the fact that she often locked herself away in her room after her marriage fell apart. Reservations are not required for daytime tours but can be helpful during summer months or weekends.

San Diego county owns it but it’s operated and managed by the SOHO (Save Our Heritage Organization). They have been restoring the house to it’s former historic glory for accuracy. Thomas Whaley was very proud of his handy work and boasted of its convenience to the town. One of the most famously haunted locations in San Diego and all of the West Coast, the Whaley House’s stories are told in magazines, movies, and television shows. Another Whaley daughter, Corrine, was engaged to be married when her sister passed, but her fiance broke that union off after the scandal that Violet’s suicide caused the family. After these events, Thomas built a new family home not far from the original house.

More often than not, she appears to young people in an effort to welcome them and interact. Due to this torturous death, Yankee Jim still walks amongst living in the unseen world. Visitors have captured pictures of a lanky man with Jim’s description.

She was so wrought with depression that she decided she could not live with the shame and shot herself in the chest on August 18, 1885. The youth docent program teaches kids valuable and marketable skills they can put into practice in future jobs, as well as giving them an insider look into what it’s like to work at the museum. As you take the tour, keep an eye out for strange sights, and listen for the sound of distant heavy footsteps.

After an arson-set fire destroyed his buildings on Montgomery Street in May 1851, he relocated to Old Town San Diego on the advice of Lewis Franklin, a merchant who operated stores in San Francisco and Old Town. Others report seeing a young woman lingering on the second floor of the house, believed to be poor Violet, still consumed with sorrow. She seems to stay close to the second floor where she spent much of her time after her divorce before she committed suicide. It is said that areas within the home become quite cold and her presence is felt throughout.

When situated near a pool deck or under a pergola, it truly becomes an outdoor living haven. Connect it to the rest of your backyard with walkways for a lounging retreat. Homeowners can also use the patio as a setup for an outdoor kitchen or an enclave for a gazebo. Those seeking a private nook on an existing patio can play up hardscape design or add a fire pit for coziness by making the space into a sunken outdoor living room. Some concrete contractors estimate that stamped concrete costs one-third less than the cost of other materials.

And unlike wood, concrete won't warp, rot or require periodic staining. With stamped concrete, you can get the look of just about any material including brick, slate, wood, and more. This is a great option because it saves money on material and labor—it’s also often a more durable and long-lasting solution. For this backyard patio, they recreated the look of brick using concrete.

Keep it simple

Concrete is especially ideal for garden spaces as it can be poured to take nearly any shape. This means that you can create winding pathways, garden beds, and other shapes that fit into the garden aesthetic. While the material itself may not feel natural, it can adapt to fit the space, so it doesn’t have to be a distraction either. There are a lot of ways to integrate some wood into your patio design. You can create built-in benches, buy wooden furniture, build pergolas overhead, or butt the patio up to a wooden structure like a house or fence. Consider some of the ideas below while keeping your patio area in mind, and see if a wooden accent would be possible for you.

Creating Inviting Spaces

She's been an allotment keeper, a professional gardener, and a botanical illustrator – plants are her passion. Concrete patios can give you a customized look, on top of being budget friendly. The bright pops of color on the patio furniture also break up the coldness of the cement and allow for some fun and personality. Providing some refuge from the sun and other elements may be the best way to get the most out of your patio.

Simple Concrete Patio Idea

Dramatically enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home by complementing your pavers with lights. Paver lighting helps to create a more unique and functional outdoor space. They are an excellent solution for pathways or driveways that need an element of light for safety, comfort or visual enhancement. Concrete is not the only option for your patio, but it may be the most cost-efficient. Decorative concrete on your patio can mimic the look and feel of many other surfaces such as pavers and wood decking.

Mark Cutler, cofounder of CutlerSchulze, in Los Angeles, worked with landscape designer Joni Janecki to create concrete pads that echoed the shape of oak leaves. “Not only does it break up the hardscape, but it also encourages creative play in the garden,” he says. A concrete patio doesn’t have to be square, as designer Mark Cutler shows in this Carmel Valley backyard.

Brown-colored flagstone stampings on a concrete patio are just beautiful. You can give a concrete slab the look of a faux-tile floor by using a concrete saw to cut it into a checkerboard or diamond pattern enhanced by contrasting colors of stain. This elegant look is ideal for formal outdoor living rooms and can often be color matched to an interior tile floor. Raised garden bed ideas might conjure up whimsical images of cottage-style gardens at first thought.

For instance, you can intersperse them with gravel or greenery for a unique look. Pavers can also be less susceptible to cracking than large stretches of paved concrete. And if they do, they're much easier to replace, which can save costs in the long run. Our guide on how much does a patio cost has more advice if you're budgeting for a new landscaping look. Black and pale grey is always a winning color combo for modern-style plots and will never go out of fashion.

For the most interesting looks, use materials with different textures and shapes. You don't have to stick to traditional designs when it comes to your concrete patio ideas; square concrete pavers provide all kinds of creative opportunity. If you’re looking for concrete patio ideas on a budget, you can make your concrete patio pop with color. Gazebos and covered porches will cover your outdoor living space and protect it from most elements.

Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene says Speaker Mike Johnson should resign as Democrats signal potential support

In a letter to colleagues earlier Wednesday, Johnson outlined his first priority will be trying to pass the remaining spending bills that have so far languished in the House one by one. The House is now voting to pass a resolution in support of Israel in the war against Hamas – the first measure to come to the floor to be passed after Speaker Mike Johnson was elected this morning following three weeks of a speakerless-House. The House passed a resolution in support of Israel in the war against Hamas – the first measure to come to the floor after Speaker Mike Johnson was elected earlier Wednesday following three weeks without a speaker. The new speaker played a pivotal role in congressional efforts to overturn the 2020 election and opposes abortion rights and gay marriage.

Latest News

Exhausted from the feuding, which unleashed a barrage of recriminations and violent threats against lawmakers, both the right wing and mainstream Republicans finally united to elect Mr. Johnson, 51, in a 220-to-209 vote. Mike earned his undergraduate degree in Business Administration from Louisiana State University in 1995, and his Juris Doctorate from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University in 1998. During the speaker battle, Trump proved more adept at hurting candidates than helping them win — his early endorsee, Jordan, flamed out on the floor.

He’s a devout Christian

He said that millions of unborn children had lost their lives because of what he called a “legal fiction that the Supreme Court foisted upon this country” and said that “God will bless us” for the court’s decision. In Congress, Mr. Johnson has voted for a national abortion ban and co-sponsored a 20-week abortion ban, earning him an A-plus rating from the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. After the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade in June last year, he celebrated.

House begins first round of voting for speaker

Johnson soon became a member of the president’s inner circle, regularly joining the entourage that flew with the president on Air Force One. When Trump was first impeached (December 2019) as a result of the Ukraine scandal, Johnson was a member of his defense team for the impeachment trial by the Senate. I was called to legal ministry and I’ve been out on the front lines of the “culture war” defending religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and biblical values, including the defense of traditional marriage, and other ideals like these when they’ve been under assault. The society that runs it certainly wants us to think so—haunted house tours and a popular interactive play capitalize on the 1929 scandal in which the owner of the mansion, oil heir Ned Doheny, died in a mysterious murder-suicide with his boyhood friend and employee. Doheny’s father was mired in the Teacup Dome Scandal at the time, and the deaths meant that he was excused from testifying; rumors also abounded that Ned, who was married with children, was trying to cover up a same-sex affair.

“When I vacated the last one, I made a promise to the country that we would not end up with a Democrat speaker ... The surprise maneuver by Greene marks a stunning turn of events for Johnson who has fought for months to navigate an increasingly fractured Republican conference, which has been operating in the majority effectively in name only since January 2023. McCarthy’s stunning removal came, in part, as the result of the concessions he was forced to make to win the speaker’s gavel in the first place.

But he defended the actions of congressional Republicans in objecting to Mr. Biden’s victory. On the eve of the Jan. 6 votes, Mr. Johnson had honed his arguments undermining the election to be more palatable. He presented colleagues with arguments they could use to oppose the will of the voters without embracing conspiracy theories and the lies of widespread fraud pushed by Mr. Trump. Mr. Johnson instead faulted the way some states had changed voting procedures during the pandemic, saying it was unconstitutional.

And he has fast-tracked impeaching the President despite thin evidence to date—but, hey, a formal vote calendared for next week to allow subpoenas is propped up behind a snazzy logo. Former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, his social media site, early Wednesday to urge House Republicans to back Johnson for speaker, less than a day after he effectively derailed Majority Whip Tom Emmer's own bid for the gavel. Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas, who voted for Majority Leader Steve Scalise on each of the three ballots during House voting last week, said he plans to back Johnson when the lower chamber convenes to elect a new speaker. Rep. Elise Stefanik, the chair of the House Republican conference, will deliver the speech nominating Johnson for speaker, according to a Republican aide. As Johnson made his way from his House office to the floor, he told CBS News that he "feels very good" about the vote and believes he can secure the necessary 217 votes on the first round. But last month, he voted for a Rep. Matt Gaetz amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would have cut off all security assistance for Ukraine.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says Speaker Mike Johnson should resign as Democrats signal potential support.

Washington — Rep. Mike Johnson, a Republican of Louisiana, won election as the new speaker of the House on Wednesday, ending three weeks of chaos since Rep. Kevin McCarthy's historic ouster. The House is expected to vote on a resolution in support of Israel on Wednesday afternoon, according to a notice from the House Democratic whip. “The door to the speaker’s office now is open to the members and to the constituents, not just the lobbyists,” Rep. Matt Rosendale told reporters. House conservatives are signaling they’ll give the newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson some runway and flexibility as the House barrels toward a November 17 spending deadline to fund the government. GOP Rep. Stephanie Bice of Oklahoma is considering a run for conference vice chair – the leadership role previously occupied by now-Speaker Mike Johnson, according to her spokesperson. After three weeks without a speaker, the House voted Wednesday to elect Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana.

Committee assignments

The podcasts, spanning 69 episodes, offer an extended window into Mr. Johnson's views and politics, as he co-hosts the program with his wife, a licensed pastoral counselor. Johnson has served as a member of the House committees on the judiciary (including chairing a subcommittee on the Constitution and serving as a member of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government), armed services, and natural resources. His rise through the ranks of the Republican Party also has included service as House Republican conference vice chair and chair of the Republican Study Committee, the large conservative caucus of House Republicans. This 1921, Mayan-inflected Frank Lloyd Wright house was originally built as a “progressive theatrical community” space by activist and oil heiress Aline Barnsdall. Today it’s the centerpiece of Barnsdall Park and is open for tours during the park’s popular Friday night wine tasting events. House Republicans have long accused elite colleges and universities of skewing left and pursuing a “woke” agenda that tramples on parental rights.

“A lot of people have been talking about this the last 48 hours, and I did a little legal memo to point out to my colleagues that she actually committed a felony,” Johnson said on Fox News at the time. He unified the fractious Republican Conference, winning votes from right-wing detractors of McCarthy, R-Calif., as well as centrist Republicans who opposed Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. In 1999 Johnson married Kelly Lary, an elementary- and secondary-school teacher, who later became a licensed pastoral counselor. Johnson and his wife host the podcast Truth Be Told, which explores Christianity’s role in American civil life. Early in their marriage, they took custody of a Black teenager (now an adult), whom they raised as a son though never formally adopted.

McCarthy was in the House for 16 years before he was elected speaker, Pelosi had 20 years of experience, Paul Ryan served for 16 years, and John Boehner had 20 years before he ascended to the top job. He voted against bipartisan legislation to codify same-sex marriage, which Biden signed into law last year. He voted this year in favor of the debt limit law negotiated by McCarthy and Biden. But before that happened Johnson had elicited the signatures of 125 of his Republican colleagues to the letter accompanying the brief—some of them perhaps in response to Johnson’s notification that Trump would be monitoring who signed it. In the immediate aftermath of the election, Johnson advanced the spurious allegation that voting software used in the election was suspect because it had supposedly come from the authoritarian regime that ruled Venezuela. However, it was his later argument—that COVID-19 pandemic–related changes to voting procedures in some states were unconstitutional—that gained steam.

Johnson has gained stature and won bipartisan praise for letting the whole House vote on the aid package. He also got strong support in the Senate, where even an outright majority of Republicans voted for the aid on Tuesday. Two colleagues had spoken up to say they would join Greene in such a vote, giving her enough to defeat the speaker if all the chamber's Democrats voted to do the same.

Following his appointment Wednesday, Johnson declined to comment on these efforts. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Johnson voted against certifying Biden’s victory in two states. Johnson is a ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump and made multiple attempts to swing the results of the 2020 election following Trump’s loss to Joe Biden. Johnson’s controversial 2015 marriage bill failed, but the media attention surrounding it caught the eye of Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council evangelical activist group. In addition to his background as a lawyer, Johnson has also served as a professor for Liberty University in the past five years. WASHINGTON (AP) — Barely six months into the job, House Speaker Mike Johnson is already at risk of the same conservative revolt that took down his predecessor.

Muller House Museum

The list of the 10 speakers who served in the job longest includes just one Republican (and in the ninth slot at that). That speaker was Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, notorious as the autocratic "Czar Cannon" during three two-year tours as speaker that ended with his party's historic defeat in 1910. Prior to that, the last Republican speaker had been Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, who died in 1931. Technically, he died as speaker, but his party lost its majority before the next Congress convened and elected a Democrat to the job.

Jeffries: Democrats will continue finding common ground with GOP "whenever and wherever possible"

Prior to the GOP's 40-year sentence as the minority party, several of its speakers had risen to the top rung largely on their personal popularity among their colleagues. One was Joseph Martin of Massachusetts, who led the party in the House during two brief interludes of majority status after World War II. Both lasted only the minimum two years, the first ending with Democratic Harry S. Truman's surprise White House win in 1948. Martin was back four years later when Eisenhower was first elected president in 1952, but that tour at the top was cut short by his party's sharp losses two years later. Ryan, then just 45, was the youngest speaker in nearly 150 years but had already been party's vice presidential nominee on the 2012 ticket. Once he had Boehner's job, however, he experienced much the same internal strife.

JAPAN HOUSE Leadership

Trump seemed to acknowledge his role in killing Emmer's quest for the gavel, as he shared on his social media platform an article from Politico about how the former president "torpedoed" the bid. GOP lawmakers who withheld their support for Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio during his three rounds of voting on the House floor are beginning to line up behind Johnson. Democrats will nominate Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and they are being urged to vote for him, according to a notice from Democratic whip Katherine Clark's office. Rep. Pete Aguilar , the Democratic caucus chair, will deliver the nominating speech for Jeffries. If all 221 Republicans and 212 Democrats mark themselves present, Johnson will need 217 votes to win the gavel. Two seats are vacant due to the resignations of Reps. Chris Stewart, a Republican from Utah, and David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island.

A member of a joint program between the Jewish Theological Seminary and Columbia, he was in the crowd watching Johnson speak. He said he feels safe on campus but understands why others do not and that his roommate booked a last-minute flight home over safety concerns. The hearing led to a bipartisan call on Capitol Hill to denounce or demand the resignation of leaders at Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for their responses, which were deemed out of touch.

The shift from Democrats is noteworthy given their lockstep support of the motion to vacate that led to the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., in October, which ultimately resulted in Johnson’s getting the gavel. Members tried to remove speakers in previous congressional terms, but no motion ever reached the floor for a vote. As a rank-and-file hard-liner, Mr. Johnson had largely opposed efforts to fund Kyiv’s war effort. And early in his speakership, he declared he would never allow the matter to come to a vote until his party’s border demands were met. Mr. Johnson’s decision to risk his speakership to push the $95 billion foreign aid bill through the House on Saturday was the culmination of a remarkable personal and political arc for the Louisiana Republican. It was also an improbable outcome for a man plucked from relative obscurity last fall by the hard right — which had just deposed a speaker they deemed a traitor to their agenda — to be the speaker of a deeply dysfunctional House.

Evoking his evangelical Christian faith, Mr. Johnson repeatedly referred to scripture in his speech from the House floor. Gaetz called him "MAGA Mike Johnson" in an appearance Wednesday on right-wing host Steve Bannon's podcast. A spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ rights group, labeled Johnson “Jim Jordan with a jacket and a smile,” referring to the right-wing firebrand from Ohio who chairs the House Judiciary Committee.

The Israel-Gaza war is also contentious among House Democrats, with liberals clashing with some Jewish colleagues early on in the war. That prompted Democratic leadership to attempt to keep attacks from becoming personal. Over the weekend, 37 liberals voted against sending $14 billion in aid to Israel over concerns that humanitarian aid would not reach Gaza, joining 21 Republicans who did not support the measure over spending concerns. Gingrich managed to restore many of the powers of the speakership but clashed repeatedly with Clinton and even with Republican leaders in the Senate. In 1997, in his second Congress as speaker, he barely survived a largely covert challenge from within his own leadership team. And just shy of his fourth anniversary in the job, he was voted out by the full House Republican conference in December 1998.

Republicans unanimously chose Johnson late last year to replace McCarthy after several candidates for the job failed to gain enough support. Johnson’s conservative bend was seen as a welcome departure by the most extreme members of his party who had accused McCarthy for years of being too moderate, including when he worked across the aisle last year to fund the government and raise the nation’s debt limit. During the vote, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., filed a resolution with the House clerk — called a motion to vacate — that would remove Johnson from office if approved by the House. And while Greene did not force the resolution to be taken up immediately, she told reporters she was laying the groundwork for consideration once the House returns from recess in two weeks. While Republicans are celebrating finally electing a speaker, across the Capitol, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader, chimes in with a reminder of the impending mid-November government shutdown looming unless Congress can pass legislation to keep it funded. “I look forward to meeting with Speaker Johnson soon to discuss the path forward to avoid a government shutdown,” Mr. Schumer said in a statement.

Ryan also had a strained relationship with then-President Donald Trump, with whom he had a falling out during the fall 2016 campaign. In April 2018, Ryan said he would not serve another term and left as the party was losing its majority that fall. It’s been two months since a klatch of House Republicans forced the ouster of then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy because, frankly, they didn’t like him. After all, McCarthy had dared to strike a deal with Democrats earlier in the year to keep the lights on.

For the most part, you'll want one location on the front of a shirt (full, left, or center) and then maybe one other spot (back or sleeve). If you're going for a cost-effective design, a full front location is your best choice. Although their longer cousins tend to get more attention, short sleeves have their own appeal. If your shirts are used as uniforms, it's a way of letting people quickly identify your workers from the side (which is a benefit for a restaurant). That said, sometimes an unconventional location or placement makes sense for dramatic effect. Understanding the difference between locations and design placements can save you a lot of aggravating miscommunications.

Tips on Getting Your Design Placement Right

We have seen some great designs that are printed larger and up closer to the shoulder. Use your discretion on this location and don’t hesitate to ask one of our project specialists for help. This print location started out as an alternative, then became so popular it’s become a standard.

Print Dimensions

Full-front prints are often used for designs that are complex or have a lot of detail. This is because a larger print area gives you more room to work with and allows your design to really shine. When printing your design on a t-shirt, the quality of your print will largely depend on your design’s DPI or dots per inch. The higher the DPI, the higher the quality of your print will be.

Size Dimensions

The length of a sheet of paper, which is 11 inches, gives you a good idea of how big your picture will be when it is printed on clothing. For a left chest logo intended to fit on a pocket, the dimensions are 3.5′′ X 3.5′′ for adult shirt sizes and 3′′ X 3′′ for youth shirt sizes. As a general rule, you should keep your distance from the abdomen. Instead of the full shirt’s center, focus on the design placement in front of the shirt.

Now that you’re a print location expert, are you ready to set up your design perfectly? Check out some of our most popular, high-quality T-shirts below, and get started now! Similar to the Left Chest, reserve this print location for more simplified artwork. And like the other locations, the size and placement should depend on your particular logo or design. It’s time to get excited and put your creativity to the test. This part of our guide will list the top front, back, and sleeve print locations – how they compare, and the average measurements to base your designs on.

piece Alignment Ruler:

If you were planning for a standard front print, you have a choice between this location and a Full Front (see below). The range of garment sizes in your order could help decide; if they skew smaller, especially into youth sizes, go with Center Chest. If they skew larger, into the 3XL range, you may want to go with a Full Front. The range is anywhere from 6” to 10” wide, so 8” would be average, and placement is around 4″ down from the collar. Make sure you specify what you want, or have one of our designers size it.

When determining your print area, consider playing with negative space and leaving parts of the design ink-free. Welcome to the world of t-shirts – arguably, one the most popular pieces of clothing in the world. With an expanding market, you might be tempted to become part of it by creating your own t-shirts to sell online. The average dimensions for a sleeve design are 3″ to 4″ in width and 2.5″ to 3″ in height.

Size and placement are also a personal choice and can change depending on the design. I always begin by measuring my shirt, especially if the shirt has a different cut than a regular tee. Back designs are great for filling space and giving your creations more substance. You can change the design background to be transparent or leave parts of the design deliberately clean by inverting the color scope. This allows the ink to trace the shape of your design but not fill it.

Logo Placement Guide: The Top 8 Print Locations and Why They Work Best

When things are outside of that range, a viewer can wind up so distracted by the odd placement that they miss the message entirely. Before you decorate or print any t-shirts, share your design with other people, preferably in your target audience. That way, you can be sure the design looks as good to them as it does to you on screen or on the t-shirts. It’s usually complemented by a print on the front, sleeves, or all of the above. Occasionally we have customers that want this printed across the bottom of the shirt (or butt area).

The center line is an imaginary line that runs down the middle of your shirt, from top to bottom. It’s used as a reference point when placing designs, so they can be evenly balanced on both sides. In this day and age, people are bombarded with visual stimuli from all sides. This means that they’re naturally drawn to aesthetically pleasing designs and will often gloss over anything that looks cluttered or messy. Having carefully placed design elements will help your shirt stand out from the rest and make a lasting impression. It’s crucial to note that these placement places are recommendations only; you are under no need to follow them.

The design’s top should be positioned similarly to how a center chest print would be. Most adult sizes fit a fitted shirt with a 9′′ x 9′′ design, while a looser-fitting shirt looks fantastic with a 10′′ to 11′′ broad design. For standard v-necks, we suggest placing the design 1-1.5” down from the lowest point of the “v”.

You could use it for a tagline, mission statement, or website's URL. A center chest graphic will be smaller than something used in the full front (basically it's going to cover far less space). Whether you're promoting a business, a non-profit, charity, or an event, the full front is the perfect placement for your message. And, if you have to choose just one location, this is usually going to be the best choice. Anybody who talks to a person wearing a shirt with a full front design is bound to notice whatever message is there. And, because a person's upper body doesn't sway as much as their arms while walking, it's easier to read.
