Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:06:18 GMT

WARSAW — Two of Poland’s most senior generals — Rajmund Andrzejczak, chief of the general staff, and Tomasz Piotrowski, operational commander of the armed forces — have resigned.“Of course, if the generals yesterday decided to submit requests to terminate their duty, to shed their uniforms, such a decision will be accepted by the head of the armed forces,” said Jacek Siewiera, head of the National Security Bureau, the president’s advisory body.Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak and Piotrowski clashed after a Russian missile flew into Polish airspace in December; it was only noticed after a hiker found the debris. The incident was a big embarrassment for the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, which has made national security a key part of its campaign to win a third term in office in this Sunday’s general election.Błaszczak blamed Piotrowski for the incident and demanded his resignation, which met with protests from Andrzejczak and was ultimately averte...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:06:18 GMT

The Chicago Bears could receive a boost in the secondary this week just in time for an NFC North matchup against the Minnesota Vikings — though whether they’ll have to face star wide receiver Justin Jefferson is in doubt.The Bears designated nickel Kyler Gordon to return from injured reserve Monday. The second-year cornerback had surgery on his broken hand after the season opener and missed the last four games.

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice advises Republican leader against impeachment

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:06:18 GMT

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — There should be no effort to impeach a liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court justice based on what is known now, a former justice advised the Republican legislative leader who asked him to review the issue.Some Republicans had raised the prospect of impeaching newly elected Justice Janet Protasiewicz if she did not recuse from a redistricting lawsuit seeking to toss GOP-drawn legislative district boundary maps. On Friday, she declined to recuse herself, and the court voted 4-3 along partisan lines to hear the redistricting challenge. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos had asked three former justices to review the possibility of impeachment. One of those three, David Prosser, sent Vos an email on Friday, seemingly just before Protasiewicz declined to recuse, advising against moving forward with impeachment.Prosser turned the email over to the liberal watchdog group American Oversight as part of an open records request.“To sum up my views, there should be no effort to impeach J...
