MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s Democratic governor opposes keeping Republican Donald Trump off the ballot in the battleground state, saying that those who think he should be disqualified “can vote against him.”Gov. Tony Evers also told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday that in order for President Joe Biden to win Wisconsin, he must be a frequent visitor to the state and focus his message on his successes and issues that matter to the middle class, not just the argument that the fate of democracy is at stake.Evers’ comments come ahead of a visit to Wisconsin later this month by Vice President Kamala Harris and ahead of the planned filing Friday of a lawsuit by a Democratic activist aimed at keeping Trump off the ballot, arguing that his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot amounted to unconstitutional insurrection.Officials in Colorado and Maine have already banned Trump’s name from primary election ballots. Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court ...

(CNN Español) – Fue llamado el “milagro navideño”, una muestra de fe, esperanza, inteligencia, trabajo en equipo e instinto de supervivencia que conmovió al mundo entero. Se conoce como el “milagro de los Andes”.La trágica y extraordinaria historia comenzó el 12 de octubre de 1972. Un total de 45 personas, incluidos 19 miembros del equipo de rugby del colegio Christian Bross, en Uruguay, despegaron a bordo del vuelo 571 de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya con destino a Santiago de Chile para disputar la Copa de la Amistad.Ese fue solo el inicio de lo que se avecinaba.Las malas condiciones de tiempo obligaron a los pilotos a aterrizar en el aeropuerto de Mendoza, en Argentina. Al día siguiente, el 13 de octubre, decidieron despegar. En el trayecto, la aeronave sufrió un brutal impacto en plena cordillera de los Andes, a más de 3.500 metros sobre el nivel del mar.“Estábamos volando desde Mendoza para Santiago, los picos empezaron a verse un poco cerca, cada vez estaban más cerca.

Stock market today: Wall St. ticks lower ahead of jobs report; inflation in Europe back on the rise

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:29:09 GMT

Wall Street edged lower Friday ahead of the release of the December jobs report, which is expected to show that the labor market remained sturdy in the final month of 2023.Futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were each down 0.3% before the bell.Economists expect the jobs report to show U.S. hiring slowed to 160,000 jobs last month from 199,000 in November, though the latter number was slightly inflated by the return of thousands of auto workers and actors who had been on strike.The hope is that the economy will remain just strong enough to stave off recession without reversing progress in taming inflation. The Federal Reserve is watching to see if current trends continue as it weighs the possibility of cutting interest rates. The latest inflation data from the consumer and wholesale levels are due out next week.Rate cuts give a boost to prices for stocks and other investments, while also relaxing the pressure on the economy and financial system. “Sentimen...

(CNN) — Ya sea gracias a sus proyectos en la pantalla grande, fotos de paparazzi sin aliento (como aquellas en las que aparece caminando por la acera con pantalones cortos o pasando una tarde saludable en el mercado de agricultores) o titulares de los tabloides, el apetito por el actor Jeremy Allen White es, en la actualidad, aparentemente inextinguible.Si bien el actor nominado al Emmy se hizo en Chicago (lugar de su aclamada serie dramática “The Bear”), White nació en Nueva York. Entonces, es justo que le haya dado a su ciudad natal el regalo de su último momento revolucionario en Internet: una campaña publicitaria de ropa interior que marca su debut para Calvin Klein.Tomadas por el fotógrafo Mert Alas, las imágenes de la campaña muestran a White retozando en una azotea bañada por el sol, sin camisa o sin pantalones, y a veces ambas cosas. (En todos los casos, usa lo que Calvin Klein describe como su ropa interior “más emblemática”). Cuando usa una camisa, es una clásica cam...
