Hundreds Turn Out to Denounce Texas Republicans’ “Vigilante Death Squads Policy”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:15:30 GMT

Hundreds of Texans converged on the capital this week to oppose a new state-led security force that would enlist civilians to track and capture undocumented people.In a hearing that stretched into the wee hours of the morning Wednesday, the Texas House of Representatives heard testimony from first-generation college students, undocumented activists, parents, and children about the inherent dangers of House Bill 20. The author of the controversial proposal, Republican Rep. Matt Schaefer, meanwhile, was grilled by his Democratic counterparts over his bill’s logical and constitutional implications.In his most extensive public defense of his bill to date, Schaefer, the founder and chair of the arch-conservative Texas Freedom Caucus, collapsed the issues of fentanyl overdoses and migration, ignoring facts and evidence to argue that migrants are responsible for a wave of death and suffering that exceeds the worst episodes of national trauma in modern American history.

(AP) — Michigan State coach Mel Tucker hopes he doesn’t have this long of an offseason ever again.The Spartans fell short of being eligible for a bowl last year — a season after winning 11 games — in a fall marred by a melee in Michigan Stadium’s tunnel and being humbled. “Sometimes you have to get beat up and get your face kicked in before you can really lay the true foundation — and that’s happened,” Tucker said. “I know our guys are going to compete and fight. We have a chip on our shoulder and we know the areas we need to improve.“We addressed a lot in recruiting. We have a lot to prove. Going through a season like that can build character.”Tucker will wrap up spring practice Saturday afternoon at Spartan Stadium, where fans will watch a 15-period practice that will include first-string offensive players scrimmaging against the team’s top defense.Entering his fourth year of leading the program, the 2021 Big Ten Coach of the Year ...

Pasajeros rebeldes: FAA envía 250 casos al FBI para un posible juicio

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:15:30 GMT

Funcionarios federales dijeron el jueves que han remitido a más de 250 pasajeros rebeldes en aerolíneas al FBI para un posible enjuiciamiento penal desde fines de 2021, incluido uno el mes pasado, cuando un hombre intentó apuñalar a una azafata con una cuchara rota. Sin embargo, el ritmo de las referencias criminales se está desacelerando. La Administración Federal de Aviación identificó 17 casos que envió al FBI en los primeros tres meses de este año, principalmente por incidentes que ocurrieron el año pasado pero que tomaron tiempo para investigar.Las aerolíneas han informado menos casos de pasajeros indisciplinados desde abril pasado, cuando un juez federal anuló el requisito de que las personas usaran mascarillas en los aviones y el transporte público. Antes de ese fallo, alrededor de dos tercios de todos los incidentes en aviones involucraron disputas sobre las mascarillas.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:15:30 GMT

Wells Fargo beat sales and profit targets in the first quarter compared with a year earlier, boosted by higher interest rates. The quarter saw the collapse of two banks that rattled the financial sector and the broader stock market. Wells Fargo participated with other banks in pumping $30 billion in deposits into First Republic Bank in a so far successful effort to prevent a third failure. Wells earned $5 billion, or $1.23 per share, in the three months ended March 31, beating analyst projections by 10 cents a share. Revenue of $20.7 billion topped Wall Street’s target of $20.1 billion. Revenue and profit also came in well ahead of last year’s first quarter, when the San Francisco-based bank posted net earnings of $3.8 billion, or 91 cents per share, on revenue of $17.7 billion.Wells, which until recently was the U.S.’s biggest mortgage lender, set aside $643 million for potential loan losses, specifically commercial real estate loans, credit cards and auto loans.W...

Klopp cites budget constraints amid Bellingham questions

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — If Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham is on the move this summer, it’s becoming clear that Liverpool won’t be the destination.Jurgen Klopp said Friday regarding expensive transfers that sometimes a team must “step aside and do different stuff.”The Liverpool manager was responding to questions about reports the Premier League club has dropped its pursuit of the 19-year-old Bellingham, who could bring a record transfer fee for Dortmund. Manchester City and Real Madrid are among the clubs interested.Klopp said his answer was “not about Jude Bellingham” specifically but that sometimes the price tag is too high.“I never understood why we constantly talk about things we theoretically cannot have,” he said at a news conference ahead of Liverpool’s game at Leeds on Monday.“We cannot have six players in a summer (and) everybody’s 100 million for example,” he said. “You have to realize what you can do and then you have to work with that.
