Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:30 GMT

With crime on the rise in staggering numbers in D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser unveiled new legislation on Monday that she said would give law enforcement additional tools to keep the District safe.The bill allows D.C. police to temporarily declare “drug-free zones” around the city, creates criminal penalties for “organized retail theft” and reinstates a law that prohibits wearing a mask to commit a crime or threaten others.It’s called the Addressing Crime Trends Now Act (ACT Now), and Bowser said in a news conference Monday that some of the changes proposed by the new legislation are “just plain common sense. ”Bowser said the proposed law will deal with some of the “negative consequences” of the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, which the D.C.

KFAR SABA, Israel (AP) — Ohad Munder-Zichri turned 9 on Monday.

The boy, his mom and grandparents disappeared with the only thread of information about them coming from a cellphone signal traced to Gaza.It’s that uncertainty that has been most agonizing for Ohad’s grief-stricken father, Avi Zichri — not knowing if Ohad is alive, if he is wounded, if he is alone.“I keep imagining what he is going through. He’s a sensitive boy. Did he see dead bodies? He wears glasses. Did they take them from him? Can he see anything?” Zichri said as he nervously chain-smoked...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:30 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street swung to a mixed finish Monday, continuing a monthslong run where it’s slavishly followed the cue of the bond market.The S&P 500 slipped 7.12 points, or 0.2%, to 4,217.04, coming off its worst week in a month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 190.87, or 0.6%, to 32,836.41. The Nasdaq composite rose 34.52, or 0.3%, to 13,018.33.Rapidly rising yields in the bond market have been pressuring stock prices since the summer, and they seemed set to climb further. Early Monday, the yield on the 10-year Treasury briefly topped 5.02% to touch its highest level since 2007.

That relaxed the vise on the stock market. Easier bond yields tend to most help stocks of companies promising big growth far in the future or those seen as the most...
