U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan is one of the most active and engaged members of the U.S. House of Representatives. To a greater extent than any other House member from Wisconsin's 2nd District in the modern era, he has ensured that south central Wisconsin gets its fair share of federal funds — placing a special emphasis on getting resources to the University of Wisconsin, to tech innovators and to small business owners and family farmers. The voters of the 2nd District recognized Pocan's diligence in November when they reelected the representative with the highest vote total for any member of House from Wisconsin — 268,740 ballots were cast for the Democrat in the Nov. 8 midterm election — and one of the highest totals for a congressional candidate nationwide. Pocan, a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, the House Education and Labor Committee and the Joint Economic Co...

Dec 27 (Reuters) - Former Republican President Donald Trump's redacted tax returns will be made public on Friday, a spokesperson for the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee said on Tuesday. The Democratic-controlled committee obtained the returns last month as part of an investigation into Trump's taxes, after a lengthy court battle that ended with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the committee's favor. The committee released a report into its findings last week, which said the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) broke its own rules by not auditing Trump for three of the four years of his presidency. The documents to be released on Friday are expected to include Trump's tax returns filed between 2015 and 2021, the years he ran for and served as president. A spokesperson for Trump declined to comment. Trump's tax returns were not released alongside last week's report because they contained sensitive information that had to be redacted before publica...

Stroud, TCU's Max Duggan and Georgia's Stetson Bennett making up the field of contenders for college football's most vaunted and treasured individual honor.

Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy has started a new Raagam these days. In public meetings these days, Jagan tells the people he has no support of the Newspapers and Channels. He requests people not to believe Eenadu, Andhrajyothy, and TV5. People naturally get doubt who is the owner of Sakshi Newspaper and TV and why Mrs. Jagan Mohan Reddy is leading them when the Chief Minister has no paper or TV. But then, we should all trust our Chief Minister who has dedicated his life to 'Botton Nokkudu' for the welfare of the people. Assuming that the Chief Minister has nothing to do with Sakshi, the Chief Minister should be careful about how someone is helping Sakshi. The Newspaper today has multiple ads by the Government welcoming the President of India, Draupadi Murumu to Andhra Pradesh. Usually, Government ads are to be given to all Newspapers based on their readership. If the Government deems not fit to publicize in all Newspapers, it should give the ad to the most-c...

Press play to listen to this article Voiced by artificial intelligence. The "Qatargate" corruption scandal rocking the European Parliament is "dramatic and damaging for the credibility of the European Union" and makes it harder for Brussels to deal with multiple competing crises, European Council President Charles Michel told POLITICO in an exclusive interview. Speaking in his offices in the Europa building in Brussels, Michel said he was very concerned over the charges of criminal enterprise, money laundering and corruption brought by the Belgian police against current and former members of the European Parliament in recent days. "We first need to learn lessons from this and come up with a package of measures to avoid such things — to prevent corruption in the future," said Michel, a former Belgian prime minister who is now in his second term as president of the European Counc...

On Friday, rapper Tory Lanez was found guilty of shooting singer Megan Thee Stallion in both her feet during a drunken confrontation after a party at Kylie Jenner's Los Angeles home in July 2020. Following seven hours of deliberations, a Los Angeles jury convicted Lanez on all three counts, for assaulting Stallion with a semi-automatic firearm, causing great bodily injury, discharging the weapon with gross negligence and possessing concealed and unregistered weapon inside his SUV.

Sitemaps are a powerful tool for SEO pros and webmasters. They help Google and other search engines navigate through a website and find new pages and content. It's not guaranteed that search engines will index the content but telling them what pages are important can make a significant difference. Sitemaps can help you: Get an overview of your website's structure. See which pages are being crawled by Google and other search engines. Know how frequently the pages are being crawled. Identify pages that are not being indexed. Determine which pages have errors that need to be fixed. With help from sitemap generators, the search engine crawls of your website will be faster and more efficient. If you have a small site i.e., less than a few hundred pages, managing your sitemap on your own is doable. But if you have a medium or large site and regularly add a significant amount of new content, you may want to consider either adding a dynamic sitemap to your site or loo...
