WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says he’s looking forward to discussing with President Joe Biden a “reasonable and responsible way that we can lift the debt ceiling” when the two meet Wednesday at the White House. It’ll be their first sit-down since McCarthy became speaker. McCarthy tells CBS’ “Face the Nation” that he wants to address spending cuts along with raising the debt limit. But the White House has ruled out pairing those two together as the government tries to avoid a potentially devastating financial default. The speaker is pledging that cuts to Social Security and Medicare will be off the table.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Police video of the deadly beating of Tyre Nichols by officers in Memphis, Tennessee, is hard to watch. The images are a glaring reminder of repeated failures of efforts to prevent police brutality. Nearly 32 years ago, the savage beating of Rodney King by police in Los Angeles sparked calls for reform. Such brutal scenes have repeated themselves, with police killing roughly three people per day since 2020. The Memphis officers were fired and face murder charges, and their so-called Scorpion unit has been disbanded by the police chief. But advocates say nothing less than a cultural change in law enforcement will provide the safety and liberty Black people demand.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve is poised this week to raise its benchmark interest rate for an eighth time since March. But the Fed will likely announce a smaller hike for a second straight time, and it could change some key wording in its post-meeting statement about future rate increases. A change in its statement, if there is one, could be seen as signaling an eventual pause in the Fed’s aggressive drive to raise borrowing costs. Chair Jerome Powell is still likely to stress, though, that the Fed’s campaign to conquer high inflation is far from over.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A federal appeals court has upheld a lower court’s dismissal of a lawsuit alleging that the mayor of Philadelphia discriminated against Italian Americans in renaming the city’s Columbus Day holiday to Indigenous Peoples’ Day. A U.S. District judge ruled a year ago that the council member and three Italian American heritage groups suing hadn’t been harmed by Mayor Jim Kenney’s executive order. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Friday that the government “does not violate the Equal Protection Clause every time it affirms or celebrates an ethnicity.” Attorney George Bochetto, who filed the lawsuit, told The Philadelphia Inquirer he will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

PITTSBURGH — Allegheny Health Network has introduced its new “We See You” brand platform, designed to showcase the many ways that AHN and its care providers serve, support and “see” people throughout their lives — on good days and bad ones, in the home and in the hospital, in challenging times and in times of triumph, and every moment in between.

The “We See You” platform and campaign succeeds AHN’s award-winning “Living Proof” campaign, which has served as AHN’s primary brand platform since 2016.

“‘We See You’ is a big promise to each of our patients — that we see them for the unique individuals they are, for the unique health needs they have and for who they want to become.  It’s the essence of our Living Health model,” said Bruce A. Meyer, MD, Executive Vice President and Western Pennsylvania market president for AHN and Highmark Health.

AHN, part of Highmark Health, is a Pittsburgh-based health system consisting of 14 hospitals, as well as hundreds of additional care sites and home and community-based services.

One of the brand platform’s unique features is that it will also be weaved into AHN’s internal employee recognition and engagement efforts, linking to the organization’s own values and care mission.

“‘We See You’ isn’t just an external campaign,” Dr. Meyer said. “It’s also a commitment to our amazing caregivers — we see them at the start of their shift and at the end of a long day, and we appreciate all they do to provide exceptional care and comfort to the patients who rely on AHN for their health and wellness.”

Developed in partnership with Highmark Health’s in-house agency, Tonic, the new brand platform will include TV, print and radio ads, social media posts, streaming service spots, and other digital advertising vehicles, in the Pittsburgh, Pa., and Erie, Pa., regions.
