Conservatives are furious, but they\u2019re not threatening Speaker Johnson\u2019s job<\/h2>\n

House conservatives are angry about the government funding bill negotiated by Speaker Mike Johnson that passed through Congress last week, calling it a betrayal of Republican promises to reshape the federal budget. House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good, R-Va., has blasted the first of two funding packages and said he doesn\u2019t expect a better deal in the second one, which must pass by March 22 to avoid a partial government shutdown. \u201cBecause the speaker doesn\u2019t want to do that. He just wants to pass what the Senate wants so that we avoid any conflict,\u201d Good told NBC News, saying that Johnson, R-La., wants to \u201cjoin hands with the Dems\u201d to \u201cincrease spending\u201d and yield \u201cno policy wins.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in a twist, they aren\u2019t threatening to oust Johnson from his Speaker position. And Democrats are happy to see Johnson side with the majority of his conference and against the far right on funding the government.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The shift in mindset indicates that reality is setting in for those who came into the new GOP majority with expectations of bending Congress to their will. But they\u2019re recognizing that many of their Republican colleagues don\u2019t support the spending cuts they want, and are beginning\u00a0<\/strong>to doubt that any speaker can change that.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kate, Britain\u2019s Princess of Wales, has issued an apology for \u201cany confusion\u201d caused by an edited photograph which was issued by her office, Kensington Palace, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Photo agencies had yesterday put out notices<\/strong> not to use the first photo of Kate that Kensington Palace released since she had an unspecified abdominal surgery back in January over concerns it had been digitally altered. The agencies said \u201cthe source\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>may have \u201cmanipulated\u201d the image.<\/p>\n

In the photo, which the palace said was taken by Prince William, Kate is seen smiling while posing with their children, Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,\u201d said a statement on Monday which was signed \u201cC,\u201d apparently denoting that it was written by Kate, whose full name is Catherine. \u201cI wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rollout for over-the-counter Narcan is inconsistent<\/h2>\n

It was a glimmer of hope amid America\u2019s raging opioid epidemic. Narcan, the nasal spray that can almost instantaneously reverse a potentially deadly opioid overdose, was going to be available over the counter in stores, easy to find and easy to buy.<\/p>\n

In a long-awaited move, the Food and Drug Administration cleared the antidote for over-the-counter use in March 2023, and in September the $45 two-dose boxes were shipped across the country. Prior to that, Narcan, or naloxone nasal spray, was distributed for free at community health centers and was also available via prescription.<\/p>\n

NBC News visited 64 stores in 15 states and Washington, D.C., over three weeks in February looking for over-the-counter Narcan, including major chain drug stores, independent pharmacies, supermarkets, big-box chains, convenience stores and gas stations.\u00a0Our reporters found that despite the initiative, buying Narcan isn\u2019t always easy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Young men say they were drugged, kidnapped and robbed at Atlanta bars<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Eight men in a wealthy Atlanta neighborhood say they lost consciousness and were robbed of thousands of dollars while out at bars from November 2021 to last month, according to two conversations with six of the men and police reports filed by two others.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They say they believe they were drugged before their phones were used to transfer sums of money out of their bank accounts and their credit cards were used to make fraudulent purchases, according to information the victims shared with NBC News and police records.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After NBC News reported about an incident at the same bar, Fives Paces Inn,\u00a0in February,\u00a0additional alleged victims reached out with similar accounts. NBC News found other alleged victims through social media and public records requests to the Atlanta Police Department focusing on several local bars.<\/p>\n

In one case, Chandler Rebel, said he was robbed of about $13,000 after visiting Five Paces Inn with friends. The last thing he remembers at the bar was ordering drinks before briefly coming to in the back seat of a vehicle while being restrained by an unknown person. Rebel and\u00a0the five men who spoke with NBC News\u00a0<\/strong>described blackouts on the nights of their incidents that they said did not resemble the effects of alcohol.<\/p>\n

U.S. forces add security at embassy in Haiti and evacuate nonessential personnel<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The U.S military said that it has flown in forces to amp up security in the U.S. Embassy in Haiti\u00a0to allow non essential personnel to leave.<\/strong>\u00a0The neighborhood around the embassy in the capital, Port-au-Prince, is largely controlled by gangs. Haiti\u2019s embattled prime minister, Ariel Henry, traveled to Kenya to push for the U.N.-backed deployment of a police force from the East African country to fight the gangs, but a Kenyan court ruled that such a deployment would be unconstitutional. Henry, who faces calls to resign, remains unable to return home.<\/p>\n

It was careful to point out that \u201cno Haitians were on board the military aircraft,\u201d in the statement released by the U.S. Southern Command. That seemed aimed at quashing speculation that senior government officials might be leaving as the gang attacks in Haiti worsened. The gang attacks have left the country with dwindling supplies of basic goods.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Politics in Brief<\/h2>\n

\u200aIsrael-Hamas war:\u00a0<\/strong>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects President Joe Biden\u2019s criticism\u00a0<\/strong>that he\u2019s \u201churting Israel,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>says that his policies have most Israelis\u2019 support.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meet the Press:\u00a0<\/strong>Sen. Lindsey Graham said during an interview on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press\u201d that President Joe Biden has perpetuated \u201cbroken borders\u201d\u00a0and that \u201cthe world\u2019s on fire.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Graham also questioned Biden\u2019s mental fitness, calling on him to \u201cget in a room with Donald Trump and debate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supreme Court:\u00a0<\/strong>Some critics say that the Supreme Court is\u00a0selectively invoking a conservative originalist approach\u00a0<\/strong>after they ruled that states cannot disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot for his role in Jan. 6.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Staff Pick: Former campers describe harsh introduction to Trails Carolina<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s still unclear how a 12-year-old boy died last month on his first night at a wilderness camp for troubled youth called Trails Carolina. But when my colleague Elizabeth Chuck and I spoke with over a dozen former campers, they made one thing clear: their first 24 hours were some of the most traumatic. They said they were strip searched, had to read humiliating letters about themselves and were overwhelmed by the odor of the other unshowered campers. \u201cI know if I had died on my first night,\u201d one former camper told us, \u201cI would have died believing that I was unloved and unwanted.\u201d<\/p>\n
