WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional leaders are throwing their collective weight behind a hard-won, two-year bipartisan budget plan aimed at heading off a looming government debt crisis and forestalling a government shutdown in December.
The pact, which would take these volatile issues off the table until after the 2016 presidential election, emerged in behind-the-scenes negotiations late Monday on Capitol Hill. It-would give both the Pentagon and domestic agencies $80 billion in debt relief in exchange for cuts elsewhere in the budget.
Tom Brady's winning ways on the field keep eluding him in the courtroom, where it's still not game over for the saga widely known as Deflategate.
Commissioner Roger Goodell's lawyers late Monday filed an appeal of a federal district court judge's decision tossing out the National Football League chief's four-game suspension against the New England Patriots star quarterback. The ruling against Goodell was issued just days before the NFL season began and let Brady start his 16th year on the field with the team.
