House eyes vote this week on child tax credit bill, which faces some speed bumps An unusual alliance of Republicans and some Democrats opposes the bill in the House. And if it passes, the tax package's future is uncertain in the Senate. WASHINGTON — The Republican-led House is targeting a vote as early as this week on a bipartisan bill to expand the child tax credit and provide a series of tax breaks for businesses, three sources said. The $78 billion package, which cleared the Ways and Means Committee on a 40-3 vote, could come up on Wednesday, said one of the sources, who added that the timing is not locked in. GOP leadership notified members that it "may be considered" this week. The legislation presents a rare opportunity for a historically unproductive Congress to deliver a win for constituents. But it faces some obstacles in the House, where it will likely be fast-tracked and require a two-thirds vote to pass, and uncertainty in the Senate. “There is strong interest...

What Stephan Jaeger will lean on as he tries to close out Farmers – and it’s not his 6 KFT wins Stephan Jaeger has won six times on the Korn Ferry Tour. But the 34-year-old Jaeger, who has twice earned his PGA Tour card through the Tour’s Triple-A equivalent, downplays the impact that those trophies will have as he looks to finally beat his big-league opponents across the finish line. “It’s great to have some past success, but that doesn’t really get you anything,” said Jaeger, who leads the Farmers Insurance Open by a shot heading into Saturday’s final round at Torrey Pines. “I’m going to feel it tomorrow, I’m going to be nervous.” Jaeger would rather lean on advances he’s made in his game over the past six months, mainly the mental strides under the direction of sports psychologist Julie Elion, who has taken off in popularity on Tour ever since one of her pupils, Wyndham Clark, won the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club. With Elion’s help, Jaeger better structured how he sharpened...

The decision comes shortly after Harbaugh won the College Football Playoff National Championship with the University of Michigan. Jim Harbaugh is headed back to the NFL, this time as the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. “Ladies and gentlemen, we got him,” the Chargers posted to X on Wednesday. The announcement comes on the heels of an ultra-successful season in which Harbaugh led the University of Michigan to its first national championship since 1997 and after a nine-year stint as the Wolverines’ head coach. “Jim Harbaugh is football personified, and I can think of no one better to lead the Chargers forward,” Chargers owner and chairman Dean Spanos said in a statement. “The son of a coach, brother of a coach and father of a coach who himself was coached by names like (Glenn Edward “Bo”) Schembechler and (Mike) Ditka, for the past two decades Jim has led hundreds of men to success everywhere he’s been — as their coach," the statement read. "And today, Jim Harbaugh retu...
