Group protests Congressman Rulli's stance on issues and bill
AUSTINTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Protesters gathered at a Valley grocery store Wednesday, demonstrating about Congressman Michael Rulli's votes on some issues and President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. It was one of many protests being held by constituents outside Rulli Brothers grocery stores. This time, the protest is in Austintown. About 40 people have been outside the store since about 3 p.m. They're calling for Congressman Rulli to hold a town hall meeting with constituents while he is in town, and are also concerned with his stance on some issues. Among their concerns are cuts being made in Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, especially to Medicare and Medicaid. This protest comes on the same day that Congressman Rulli introduced the Gambler Act in Congress to address the border crisis, which seeks to allocate money from the US Treasury towards ICE operations. The money will specifically come from gambling tax revenue The act would receive a $300 million fund each year from the treasury. Rulli says the act will strengthen immigration enforcement without raising taxes on citizens.

House rep eyes border 'safety net' fund as DHS urges Congress for more money
FIRST ON FOX: A new House GOP bill would create a "safety net" of federal funds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to help in emergency situations. Rep. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, told Fox News Digital he's introducing a bill to create a Border Enforcement Trust Fund using federal revenues from excise taxes on gambling. The legislation would reroute roughly $300 million per year that's currently going into the U.S. Treasury's general fund through taxes on gambling operations. Musk Does Immediate 180 On Trump As Soon As La Riots Rage He said it would be of use to the Trump administration in situations like it has faced this week, with federal authorities facing off against anti-immigration enforcement rioters in Los Angeles. "In the last 48 hours, we've seen this summer of hate, which we saw several years ago, happening again in Los Angeles, where you have complete anarchy and the burning down of the city itself," Rulli told Fox News Digital in an interview. Read On The Fox News App He argued it could also meet emergency needs for immigration authorities while Congress weighs President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which includes billions for ICE that the Department of Homeland Security said are sorely needed. "It'd be a shame to take all that money and put it in the general fund, and it would just be lost when we could use it just for our border [needs], which we all saw in this last election is the No. 1 issue in the country," Rulli said. The bill would have long odds of succeeding in the Senate, where at least several Democrats would be needed to reach the upper chamber's 60-vote threshold. It's not likely that Democrats would want to give Trump that kind of power over emergency funding. Dozens Of Anti-ice Rioters Arrested In La As Trump Sends In National Guard To Quell Violence Rulli said he has not encountered any significant opposition among his House colleagues, however. The bill is one of several introduced by House Republicans this week after the riots in Los Angeles and wider anti-ICE protests around the article source: House rep eyes border 'safety net' fund as DHS urges Congress for more money

Valley congressman demands congressional investigation
EAST PALESTINE, Ohio (WKBN) — Valley Congressman Michael Rulli is hoping his colleagues in Washington will do more to look into the federal response to the East Palestine train derailment two-and-a-half years ago. Recently, a federal watchdog group discovered what it claims are emails and other messages among leaders within the Biden Administration to withhold information about the potential for cancer clusters developing in the East Palestine area because of chemical contamination from the train wreck. Rulli says he wants to know what administrators know and when they knew it. 'I think an investigation needs to be opened today,' Rulli said. 'What we discovered with the Biden administration and the way the FEMA Program handled this is unacceptable in any civilized society.' The congressman is calling the federal response a cover-up. Rulli says he wants to see long-term monitoring of residents to check for signs of cancer — perhaps for the next 20 years. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Previewing the 2025 season for Penn State OL Dominic Rulli with his player profile Going into the 2025 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will examine each player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover the player's background, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season. Offensive lineman Dominic Rulli has become a fan favorite for his role in a famous fake punt that sealed a win against Minnesota last season. The former walk-on earned Penn State's Most Outstanding Run-On award in 2023. Here's a closer look at Rulli as he heads into the 2025 season. Preseason Player Profile Hometown: Burlington, Kentucky Height: 6-3 Weight: 295 lb Class in 2025: Redshirt junior Recruiting Rankings Class of 2021: Unranked Rulli received limited recruiting attention, with only one scholarship offer from Columbia University. He drew interest from programs like Kentucky, West Virginia, Army, and UConn but ultimately chose to walk on at Penn State, flipping his commitment from West Virginia in February 2022. Depth Chart Overview Rulli has carved out a niche as a reliable special teams contributor, appearing in all 13 games in 2023 and all 16 in 2024, primarily in punt and field goal units. In 2025, Rulli is projected as the primary backup center behind starter Nick Dawkins, though he faces competition from versatile lineman Cooper Cousins.

Why are so many dead whales washing up in the Bay?
(KRON) — There is a growing crisis facing whales in the Bay Area. In the last few weeks, nearly half a dozen whales have been found dead in and around the San Francisco Bay. Now experts are sounding the alarm and alerting the public that they can help. 'In one necropsy, the whale died of a boat strike,' said Giancarlo Rulli with the Marine Mammal Center. On Friday, Rulli said the center along with researchers are working feverishly with boat services like ferries, recreation and cargo container pilots to get the word out about the migrating whales. With commercial Dungeness crab season along the Bay Area coast going through May 1, whales in the area are at risk of entanglement. Latest tech layoffs hit Meta's Reality Labs division 'We know that research shows many whales are dying in Baja,' said Rulli. According to Rulli, one way the public can help is by alerting experts of a whale sighting so that scientists can go see if there is trouble before the whale goes into distress. The Marine Mammal Center reported 11 live whales inside the Bay one week ago. An app is available for those who want to help whales. 'This is the way to help, the app is called Whale Alert,' Rulli said. Rulli also says that besides whales getting impacted by water hazards, the melting of ice depleting fish supply is also problematic. 'Whales are starving,' he said. Whales, Rulli said, serve a vital role in the bigger picture. 'They are the ambassadors, if they are dying then oceans will be impacted and a lot of other life as well,' he said.
