SUMMARY: U.S. House Democrats disclosed that states could lose over $100 billion in federal disaster aid if Republicans remove it from a failed stopgap spending bill. Trump’s push against the bipartisan package threatens to cause a partial government shutdown by Friday, jeopardizing federal employee pay. States hit by disasters, including California and Florida, would miss out on over $2 billion each. Misinformation circulated about potential pay raises for lawmakers, as the GOP sought to incorporate a debt limit increase into negotiations. Democrats criticized Republican discord, urging adherence to the negotiated bipartisan deal. The situation further complicates Speaker Johnson’s position amid internal dissent.

SUMMARY: Raleigh convenience store owner Tazir Zarka was convicted of voluntary manslaughter for stabbing customer Mark Gity to death in 2023. While Gity’s family expressed disappointment with the verdict, feeling it did not adequately honor his memory, many in the community had mixed feelings. Some, like frequent customer Oie Coral, believed Zarka’s actions were justified for defending himself and his business. Facing a maximum of five years in prison, Zarka was previously at risk of a lengthier sentence if not for a split jury. Sentencing is set for tomorrow, where impact statements from both sides will be presented.

On Wednesady, the family of Mark Garrity, the man killed in a stabbing by Taiseer Zarka, said they are happy he will go to prison after his conviction. Others in downtown Raleigh told WRAL reporter Willie Daniely they don’t feel the same way.
