Read the text of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s resolution calling for a constitutional amendment on gun control

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:58:44 GMT

Gov. Gavin Newsom has called for a U.S. Constitutional amendment to lock in gun restrictions nationwide that are based on California rules.Article V of the U.S. Constitution lays out two pathways for amending it. One of the methods was used in the adoption of the 27 current amendments, in which Congress by a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate calls for an amendment, which then must be ratified by three-fourths of the states.California’s Democratic governor is seeking the alternative path, in which the legislatures of two-thirds of the states — 34 of them — ask Congress to call a convention for proposing constitutional amendments, which also then must be approved by three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions.The proposed resolution, Senate Joint Resolution 7, is carried by Sen. Aisha Wahab, a Fremont Democrat, and Assemblyman Reginald Jones-Sawyer, a Democrat from Los Angeles. Scroll down for the text approved by the California Senate Public Safety Committ...

SF Giants plan to catch Patrick Bailey almost every game this September: ‘It’s the playoff hunt’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:58:44 GMT

SAN DIEGO — In baseball, it’s a pretty good bet that the backup backstop will be behind the plate for a day game following a late finish the night before. It’s the most taxing position in the sport, and in the era of load management, there are few guys left who catch everyday, or close to it.Adley Rutschman, the Orioles’ runner-up for Rookie of the Year last season, and Phillies All-Star J.T. Realmuto are pretty much in a class of their own.By the end of this month, the Giants hope Patrick Bailey is mentioned in the same conversation.“We plan to play him as much as he’s physically capable of playing,” manager Gabe Kapler said of Bailey, 24. “I just think he’s physically capable of it. I personally believe the younger players are the ones you can really push this time of year. I think Adley Rutschman (in 2022), he basically caught nonstop down the stretch. I kind of see Pat Bailey in the same mold.”That started Sunday afternoon, with Bailey b...

LONDON (AP) — Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said Jadon Sancho was dropped for the Premier League game at Arsenal on Sunday because of below-par displays in training, sparking an angry reaction from the winger in a social media post in which he claimed he was being made a “scapegoat.”The 23-year-old Sancho did not travel to north London for the match at Emirates Stadium, where two stoppage-time goals by Arsenal consigned United to a 3-1 loss.Ten Hag said after the match that Sancho, who came off the bench in United’s first three matches of the season, was left out because of “his performances in training.”“You have to reach a level every day at Manchester United and we can make choices in the front line,” the Dutch coach said. “So for this game he was not selected.”Sancho took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say he has “conducted myself in training very well this week” and he didn’t want to let “people saying things that (are) complete...

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ian Happ had four RBIs while Mike Tauchman and Cody Bellinger each drove in three to help the Chicago Cubs cruise to a 15-7 rout of the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday and earn a split of a critical four-game series between the contending divisional rivals.Chicago moved three games ahead of Cincinnati in the National League Central and currently holds the second NL wildcard.

Bellinger drove in another with a sacrifice fly, and a double by Dansby Swanson pushed two more across before the Reds could get out of it.“I feel like how our offense goes — it starts with a soft single here and a soft single there, and then we kind of continue to put together good at-bats and it feels kind of contagious,” Tauchmann said.The Cubs, who banged out ...

ANÁLISIS | Mientras se mantiene firme un directivo, el fútbol femenino en España puede estar preparándose para nuevos comienzos

(CNN) — La emoción de hacer historia no debería amargarse. Es el momento, la hazaña magnífica, única en la vida, lo que debería ser la causa de que el tiempo se detuviera; las cámaras enfocando a cámara lenta a las triunfadoras que levantan el premio ganado, los teletipos cayendo del cielo como por arte de magia, el talento extraordinario eclipsando todo lo demás. Pero ése no es el mundo en el que vivimos.El mes pasado, España ganó por primera vez la Copa Mundial Femenina de la FIFA y, apenas dos semanas después, poco se habla de su éxito.El equipo, talentoso pero joven, no podía desafiar a los pesos pesados del deporte, sobre todo porque muchas de las mejores jugadoras del país se habían quedado en casa tras haberse negado un año antes a jugar con su país hasta que mejoraran las normas dentro de la selección nacional.Incluso inmediatamente después de la victoria, los pensamientos se desviaron hacia las jugadoras que habían quedado fuera. Pero había llegado el momento de celeb...
