'Are we in the majority?' Rep. Duncan was questioned by Rep. François Coveney. R-Texas' Troy Nehls. I'm not even positive.' Since it doesn't look like that, it doesn't appear that way.' After weeks of anticipation, a vote to impeach Homeland Security Sec. was called.

Emmer said he knew that the impeachment and Israel votes would result in two blunders on Tuesday night, but the government was hopeful that this could change their colleagues's minds. 'We know what the votes are when we go to the floor,' said the Minnesota Republican who is in charge of wrangling votes in the free-wheeling GOP convention to pass his party's agenda.' Homeland Security Sec. John Kerry's impeachment was dismissed on Tuesday night. Alejandro Mayorkas failed, but just one vote shy of what was needed to pass. A bill that promised $17.6 billion to Israel failed to receive the two-thirds majority it required to pass under suspension of the laws. In a sit-down interview with DailyMail.com, Emmer expressed 'We were hoping that a few of our members would change their mind.'

On a farcical night for the House GOP, he voted No to leave the count at 215 to 215 tied and hand Speaker Mike Johnson a stunning loss. Green asked his doctors if he should vote on Tuesday, four days after he went under the knife. He later called Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to tell him that he will make a dash to Capitol Hill in a Uber.

Tina Turner credited career renaissance in the 80s for decision to relocate to Switzerland

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 25, 2023
Tina Turner explained in a resurfaced CNN interview that she was inspired by the 80s' comeback, which was one of the most popular resurgences in history. The late, legendary singer's revival came after a string of turbulent years in the late 1970s, as well as her first intimate relationship to ex-bandmate Ike Turner. It was Ike, who died in 2007 of a heroin overdose and was credited with assisting Turner in the first phase of her career, with hits like 'Red Eye Peak High' and 'Nutbush City Limits' boosting the pair to powerhouse status in the 60s. The ensuing decade-and-a-half, as well as the couple's relationship, would be strewered with serious cases of abuse and heroin use, which eventually brought both their marriage and Turner's budding career to an abrupt end. A recently divorced Turner went to Cabaret shows in Vegas first in order to afford rent before gaining fame in the United Kingdom under Al Green's Let's Stay Together, a surprise hit and her ticket back to mainstream music.

'Hip-Hop Is About People': Tracing Rap's Rise Through Photography

www.mtv.com, January 31, 2023
Sacha Jenkins, a journalist and director who has devoted a large portion of his life to chronicling the art form, says, "Hip-hop is about people." Jenkins and co-curator Sally Berman opened the exhibition "Hip-Hop: Conscious, Unconscious" at the Swedish photography museum Fotografiska's Park Avenue outpost last week. If you first step into the exhibition, which runs in New York until May 21 before heading to Stockholm and Berlin, two rooms feature striking photographs of people who witnessed hip-hop's birth. Jenkins says that only a few of them have any notable brand recognition, proving a time when "hip-hop wasn't aware of itself." These images support that hip-hop was a direct creative extension of its first home in the Bronx, a far cry from the glitzier stylings to which many young fans may be familiar. A 1983 photo by Martha Cooper shows a crew of children carrying a piece of cardboard that they might use to break their fate, a photograph that sadly matches the Beatles' Abbey Road cover art. It brings you back to another time, a reminder that what has developed into one of the country's most popular cultural exports is not limited to a small group's lifestyle.
