VERBATIM: When the summer heat arrives, that vegetation will dry out and provide fresh tinder for wildfires. Public and private landowners are turning to goats as an environmentally friendly way to clear vegetation instead of using machines or chemical herbicides. But goat-herding companies say California’s farmworker overtime law is making it more expensive to provide grazing services and threaten to put them out of business.

Biden, McCarthy appeal to lawmakers to support debt deal

The stakes remain high for both President Biden and House Speaker McCarthy after striking a budget deal to avert a default. They may have reached a bipartisan agreement, but hard work remains for both the president and House speaker. They each have to persuade lawmakers in their parties to vote for it — in both the House and the Senate. Some lawmakers on the far right and far left don’t like the compromise and won’t support it, so the deal will require votes from Democrats and Republicans for approval.

Former President Trump Kicks Off Campaign Events

The former President is kicking off his 2024 campaign with two stops along the East Coast. More from Correspondent Bernie Bennett.

Former President Donald Trump kicked off his 2024 White House bid with a stop Saturday in New Hampshire before heading to South Carolina, appearances in early-voting states marking the first campaign events since announcing his latest run more than two months ago.

Those states hold two of the party’s first three nominating contests, giving them enormous power in selecting the nominee.

Mr. Trump and his allies hope the events will offer a show of force behind the former president after a sluggish start to his campaign. In recent weeks, his backers have reached out to political operatives and elected officials to secure support for Mr. Trump at a critical point when other Republicans are preparing their own expected challenges.

When it comes to evangelism, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

When it comes to evangelism, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

VERBATIM: When you ask self-identified Christians about sharing the gospel — as Life Way Research did — they’re all for it. 93% of believers say they are open to having a conversation about Christ with a friend and 81% say they would also talk to a stranger. But real life is different. The same poll finds only about half of Christians have shared their faith with a loved one in the past six months and just 40% did so with somebody they didn’t know.
