A spokesperson for Duterte said the matter has been relayed to her. “The Vice President has reduced public office to a platform for violent rhetoric, personal enrichment, elitist entitlement and a shield for impunity,” Teresita Quintos Deles, one of the complainants, said in the statement. “Her actions desecrate our institutions, and her continued grip on power insults every Filipino who stands for good governance and the rule of law.” The complaint was filed at the House of Representatives just three days after Marcos said he would oppose any impeachment effort as a potential distraction that could slow reforms, calling his dispute with his deputy a “storm in a teacup.” The filing is expected to undergo hearings by a house committee, a majority of which must vote for it to be taken up by the entire chamber. The complaint will then need backing from at least one-third of all house members for a Senate trial to proceed. Marcos’s allies control the House of Representatives but a conviction at the Senate may prove challenging, as an impeachment proceeding could alienate Duterte’s supporters ahead of the midterm elections in May. Just two years after they won election on a joint ticket, Duterte’s relationship with Marcos has completely fractured, and she claimed late last month that — in the event of her death — she had arranged for the killing of the president, his wife and his cousin, the house speaker. She subsequently said her livestreamed remarks had been taken out of context, but her father, ex-President Rodrigo Duterte, has previously publicly bragged of directing a “death squad” to kill criminals. Indeed, Rodrigo Duterte last week asked for the military to correct what he saw was “fractured governance,” remarks that some interpreted as a call for the army to intervene, even as he said he wasn’t calling for a coup. The police last week also filed a complaint against Sara Duterte and her security detail over allegations of assault and coercion following an incident involving the transfer of her chief of staff to a government hospital from the House of Representatives, where the staffer was detained. Monday’s complaint, by a group that included civil society leaders and former government officials, and which was endorsed by Congressman Perci Cendaña from Akbayan, said Duterte violated her constitutional oath and engaged in gross misconduct. That included her alleged misuse of confidential funds provided to the office of the vice president, along with sundry alleged misdeeds at other times in her career, including when she was mayor of Davao City and head of the education department. The complaint also cited Sara Duterte’s alleged “meltdown” when she apparently contracted an assassin to kill Marcos and house Speaker Martin Romualdez, according to the statement. Her claims showed “the depths and/or extent of her mental incapacity, her depravity, and lack of mental fitness to continue holding the office.” News of the impeachment effort came late in the trading day in the Philippines, where the benchmark stock index rose 2 percent.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- As coach Jerod Mayo elected to punt from his team's own 28-yard line, down 30 points with 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game, the few Patriots fans left began to chant "Fire Mayo."

It was the Patriots' second home loss by 30-plus points this century. The victory clinched a playoff spot for the Chargers and gave them double-digit wins for the third time since 2010. The loss dropped the Patriots to 3-13, their second straight season with 13 losses, but it moved them closer to clinching a top pick in the NFL draft. The Patriots will end their season next week with a home game against the . The Chargers will head to Las Vegas for their season finale against the Raiders, a game that could have playoff-seeding implications.

Saturday's win was the Chargers' best performance of the season, scoring a season-high 40 points.

Dobbins had been one of the best running backs in the NFL, but a sprained left MCL sidelined him for the Chargers' past four games. He appeared to be his old self in his first game back Saturday, as he scored a touchdown and gained 76 rushing yards, which is more than any Chargers running back had in his absence. The offensive line protected Herbert. This had been an issue all season, and without starting right guard , it appeared it could continue Saturday. But the Chargers had one of their best blocking games of the season. The Patriots pressured Herbert on only six of his 39 dropbacks (15%), his second-lowest pressure rate in a game this season (12% in Week 11 versus the Bengals). -- at Raiders (TBD, Sunday)register sg777 login 。

LINCOLN — A Lancaster District Court judge dismissed a challenge seeking to invalidate a pair of successful ballot measures that are slated to legalize medical marijuana in Nebraska. Judge Susan Strong ruled that, despite the claims former State Sen. John Kuehn and Secretary of State Bob Evnen made against petition circulators and notaries associated with the ballot initiatives, both measures met the legal requirements to qualify for the ballot. The case is expected to be appealed to the Nebraska Supreme Court. Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana ran two petition drives to get a pair of measures on the ballot this November that together will legalize medical marijuana in the state. Voters ultimately passed both measures by wide margins, earning roughly 70% support for each. Each petition needed around 86,000 valid signatures in order to qualify for the ballot, and after submitting their petitions this summer, Evnen's office certified that both petitions garnered roughly 89,000 valid signatures. As Strong put it, this made the case against the initiative "about numbers," with plaintiffs needing to provide evidence to invalidate enough signatures to put the petition drives below the minimum requirement to qualify for the ballot. With the evidence Kuehn and Evnen offered, they fell "well short," Strong said. If the courts uphold the initiatives, Nebraska will join 38 other states and Washington, D.C., which have legalized medical marijuana. At the federal level, marijuana is still illegal and listed as a Schedule I drug. According to the initiatives, medical marijuana in Nebraska would be regulated by a commission that will establish criteria to approve or deny businesses applying to sell the drug before July 1, 2025. ebamer@owh.com Twitter @ErinBamer Stay up-to-date on the latest in local and national government and political topics with our newsletter.Homes vs. beaches: Court makes key decision in battle over California seawall construction amid ocean rise
