JUST IN: New York Democrats nominate former US Rep. Tom Suozzi for the February special election to succeed expelled Rep. George Santos.
New York Democrats have nominated former Rep. Tom Suozzi for the special election to succeed expelled Republican Rep. George Santos.
Suozzi represented the previous version of the district, on the north shore of Long Island, for three terms before vacating the seat to launch an ultimately unsuccessful primary challenge to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul last year.
“Tom Suozzi has a proven record of fighting for his constituents, fighting to safeguard our suburban way of life here on Long Island and Queens and always advocating for sensible solutions to the real challenges affecting every day average Americans,” Jay Jacobs and Rep. Gregory Meeks, the chairs of the Democratic Party in Nassau and Queens counties, said in a statement.
A Florida lottery winner has less than a week to claim a $44 million prize before they lose it
This summer, someone walked into a Central Florida gas station and purchased a winning Quick Pick lottery ticket. That person now has less than a week to claim their prize before they forfeit a whopping $44 million.
The unclaimed ticket will expire Monday, December 11, unless the ticket holder comes forward, according to the Florida Lottery.
The winning numbers from the June 14 drawing are 09-13-15-46-51-52
The ticket was purchased at a Sunoco Express gas station in Kissimmee, Florida.
Prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing or the ticket will expire, according to the lottery.
A portion of every Florida Lottery ticket purchased goes to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund, which funnels into the state’s public education system.
When a ticket expires, state law requires 80 percent of the unclaimed prize go to the education fund. The remaining 20 percent is returned to the prize pool for future prizes.
President Joe Biden is preparing a package of health care measures that he would aim to pass in a second term, with announcements starting this week centered on cutting prescription drug prices.
Actor Mark Sheppard says he’s lucky to be alive after experiencing a cardiac emergency.
Actor Mark Sheppard says he’s lucky to be alive after experiencing a cardiac emergency.
The “Supernatural” actor said in a post to Instagram that he collapsed in his kitchen on Friday.
“Six massive heart attacks later, and being brought back from dead 4 times I apparently had a 100% blockage in my LAD. The Widowmaker (sic),” he wrote in the caption, alongside a photo of himself in a hospital bed.
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, “LAD” refers to the left anterior descending artery, which supplies blood to the front left side of the organ.
A heart attack due to blockage in this location is often called a “widow maker,” according to the American Heart Association.
Sheppard said that if it weren’t for his wife, the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center’s staff, “I wouldn’t be writing this.”
The days of the Garisenda tower in Bologna, Italy, could be numbered.
It’s the ‘leaning tower’ that has stood tipsily – but steadily – for nearly 1,000 years. But now, the days of the Garisenda tower in Bologna, Italy, could be numbered. Following investigations last month, the city is instigating a civil protection plan for the “sudden and unexpected collapse of the tower,” which has dominated the Bologna skyline since the 12th century.
A protective metal cordon will be erected to “contain debris resulting from a possible collapse, to reduce the vulnerability of surrounding buildings and the exposure to the population, as well as blocking access to the off-limits area,” the city council said in a statement.
