The vote is the latest show of force by the Jan. 6 panel, which is leaving no angle unexplored ?and no subpoena unanswered ?as it in <a href=Link panda</a> vestigates the worst attack on the Capitol in more than 200 years. Lawmakers on th <a href=Link mexico</a> e panel are determined to get answers quickly, and in doing so reassert the congressional authority that eroded while former President Donald Trump was in office.History will be written about these times, about the work this committee has undertaken, said Rep. Bennie Thompson, R-Miss., the chairman. And history will not look upon any of you as a martyr. History will not look upon you as a victim.The two GOP votes ?Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, who serve on the committee ?in favor of the resolution came after nine Republicans voted to hold former Trump ally Steve Bannon in contempt in October. While Bannon case was more clear-cut ?he never engaged with t <a href=Link uk</a> he committee at all ?Meadows had turned over documents and negotiated for two months with the panel about an Emtw 4 injured in Livermore head-on crash When Warda Sahtout was helping children in Syria during the countrys bitter civil war, she asked them to draw their dreams, what they hoped to be when they grew up. Almost every child drew weapons, she said, and military uniforms and blood: They could only imagine being fighters.She wasnt sure what her own fu <a href=Link website</a> ture would hold; she had a degree in economics but turned to working in the field to help because of the devastation around her. With da <a href=Link ca</a> ily worries about water, food, electricity and gas, it was hard to think far ahead. And the need was so intense and so overwhelming that she couldnt <a href=Link de</a> see clearly how to have an impact.A full scholarship to Columbia University changed that. She is studying for a masters degree in economic political development, with a concentration on conflict resolution. She wants to work for the United Nations, to help children scarred by war. I needed this time to be outside ?to see the conflict from outside, she said.On Wednesday, Columbia announced a global effort to help people like Sahtout ?refugees and students displaced by wars and natural disasters. The Columbia University Scholarship for Displaced Students, funded with a commitment of up to $6 million a year, is the the first of its kind in the world, university officials said.Up to 30 students at year who are admitted to any of the universitys undergraduate or graduate programs will have all of their education and living expenses covered.There are more than 70 million people displaced, livin | |
