Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:00:17 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Lawyers for impeached Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Monday sought to have most of the charges against him dismissed, arguing that they rely on alleged acts of corruption before he was reelected to a third term in 2022.In motions filed with the Senate, where Paxton’s impeachment trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 5, his attorneys said they believe state law bars the removal of an official for conduct that occurred before their most recent election. Paxton was first elected attorney general in 2014 and the impeachment charges include alleged conduct since then.“The Articles allege nothing that Texas voters have not heard from the Attorney General’s political opponents for years,” Paxton’s attorneys wrote. They accused the GOP-dominated Texas House of Representatives of seeking to oust Paxton because they were unable to unseat him by popular vote.“Texas voters rendered their judgement by re-electing Attorney General Paxton to serv...

Senegal dissolves opposition party, restricts internet ahead of next year’s presidential election

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:00:17 GMT

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Senegal’s government Monday dissolved a major opposition party and restricted internet service hours after the party’s popular president and opposition leader said a judge ordered his arrest.The Patriots of Senegal for Work, Ethics and Fraternity party’s dissolution was criticized by former Prime Minister Aminata Touré as an “unprecedented setback” in the West African nation’s democratic history. It further raised concerns about next year’s presidential election in Senegal, long considered a bastion of democracy and a regional leader in diplomacy.The opposition party has “frequently called on its supporters to take part in insurrectionary movements,” Antoine Félix Diome, Senegal’s interior minister, alleged in a statement. Diome indirectly blamed the opposition party for loss of life and the looting of properties during protests in June against the prosecution of opposition leader Ousmane Sonko, who is seen as a key challenger in the election....

Darrian Beavers pushing for starting job as Giants linebacker despite coming off knee injury

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:00:17 GMT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Sixth-round draft pick Darrian Beavers was pushing for a starting job at inside linebacker for the New York Giants a year ago when his rookie season was ended by an ACL injury during a preseason game.Instead of being one of the surprises of Brian Daboll’s first season as coach, Beavers became the NFL version of a redshirt. He endured surgery, the ups and downs of rehabilitation and ultimately the disappointment of watching practices, sitting in meetings and learning for five months. It was tough.The 24-year-old Beavers is back for a second go-around, and there is a good chance he is going to get a run at starting again.In the offseason, the Giants signed Indianapolis Colts linebacker Bobby Okereke as a free agent. It seemed Jarrad Davis would play inside with him until the veteran injured his ACL training in the offseason.Beavers is now getting first-team reps along with Micah McFadden, a fifth-round draft pick last year, and others.“I’m in a reall...
