Budget deal will cost airline passengers more
The House passed the bipartisan budget deal.
It may help avoid another government shutdown, but anyone who flies should be prepared to pay up.

Thamsanqa Jantjie told the Associated Press he saw visions of angels flying into the stadium during the event, and that he's had a history of violent incidents in the past.

But in a separate interview with our David McKenzie, Jantjie defended his performance and claimed that his schizophrenia was his inspiration for wanting to become an interpreter.
One of the big questions now is: was Jantjie a security risk to President Obama and all of the foreign dignitaries that attended the service?

Backlash grows over "rich kid" defense
Ethan Couch, a wealthy 16-year-old who killed four people after driving drunk, will avoid jail because his defense team says he suffers from "affluenza."

House passes budget deal
The House voted 332 to 94 to pass the bipartisan budget deal.

But plenty of Democrats and Republicans still have some hangups about the bill as it heads to the Senate.
