(AP) – Stacy Keach, known for his role as Mike Hammer on TV and work onstage, has died at 85. His wife said in a statement that he died at home in Poland on Thursday after battling a serious heart condition. Keach was a renowned stage actor, celebrated for his Shakespearean roles and diverse performances. His career faced a major setback in 1984 when he was imprisoned for attempting to smuggle cocaine into Britain. Despite this, he returned to acting and continued to take on varied roles. One of his most recent roles was as an embittered father in last year’s “Jay Kelly.” (Photo: AP)

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. inflation was higher than expected last month in a sign that the rising prices that powered sweeping Democratic victories in last week’s midterm elections will continue to pose challenges for the White House and Federal Reserve. The data shows that inflation remains noticeably above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%, and Americans’ struggles with high prices were evident as they ousted Republican majorities from the House and Senate last week.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is nearing an initial test vote on whether to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The procedural vote will either block the impeachment resolution or set up a final vote Wednesday. With Democratic leadership backing the effort brought by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, the outcome will likely hinge on whether Republican lawmakers break ranks after their sweeping losses in the midterm elections. Hegseth is contending that a rogue lawmaker is undermining American troops in war zones by targeting him with an impeachment effort over mere “policy disagreements.” Hegseth framed the impeachment effort as an indictment against the nation’s service members and their successes.

The Canonsburg Borough Council voted unanimously to submit a grant application for the McBurney Road Flood Mitigation Project. Councilman Rich Russo says the grant is between $170,000 and $180,000. If the grant is awarded, Russo says the Borough would work with Chartiers Township to replace old pipes and drainage. In other business, there was a unanimous vote to add a 5% amusement ticket sales tax. Council President Eric Chandler says this is a small tax, but it would help generate additional revenue in Canonsburg. Chandler says the tax will be added to ticket sales at places like the Canon Theatre, but it will not go into effect until 2027.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says the FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s affair with an alleged Chinese government agent. But Trump says he doesn’t think the executive who has helped to develop artificial intelligence has a reason to worry. “I know the FBI is looking into it in terms of something else, and I think that he’ll be in good shape,” Trump said Monday at a White House briefing. The president called Huang a “very honorable man.” He said Huang told him “he had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy,” Trump said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Last week’s big Democratic wins could change the way the U.S. elects its president. That’s because Democrats picked up unified control of six more states. Eighteen states run by Democrats have already joined an interstate compact to award their Electoral College votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the national popular vote. Just a few more states would push that number above the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. There will likely be legal challenges that could only be settled by the Supreme Court, and it’s unclear whether the governors in all the states newly under Democratic control are on board with the compact.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Russia, Ukraine, and the United States have started three-way talks in the United Arab Emirates to address the ongoing conflict. The discussions on Tuesday mark the first meeting since February. The U.S. is pushing for a resolution to the war which began with Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. The discussions aim to focus on security guarantees. Russian President Vladimir Putin demands Ukraine pull back troops and abandon its NATO bid. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejects these terms. Both sides remain far apart on key issues. Russia and Ukraine have intensified aerial attacks meanwhile including the escalation of long-range strikes with drones and missiles.

GENEVA (AP) — The United States is to become the first country to skip a regular review of its human rights record at the U.N.’s Human Rights Council. The Trump administration withdrew from the council last year, accusing it of bias against the U.S. and Israel. The council reviews all 193 U.N. member states’ rights records every three to four years. The U.S. already missed its appointment last year, and the review was rescheduled for Tuesday. Critics warn this could encourage other countries to ignore scrutiny. The American Civil Liberties Union urges the U.N. to hold the U.S. accountable for its human rights record.
