Podría tener importantes ramificaciones para el canal de cable de derecha.Se esperaba que el juicio comenzara este lunes en Delaware, pero el juez del Tribunal Superior Eric Davis anunció que se retrasaría hasta este martes, según un comunicado emitido el domingo por la noche por el tribunal.Dominion es una empresa de tecnología electoral. Después de que el expresidente de Estados Unidos Donald Trump perdiera las elecciones presidenciales de 2020 frente a Joe Biden, Dominion alegó que Fox impulsó varias teorías conspirativas a favor de Trump, incluida información falsa y potencialmente perjudicial sobre la tecnología de votación de la empresa, porque “las mentiras eran buenas para el negocio de Fox”. Fox argumenta que simplemente estaba informando sobre las afirmaciones hechas por el gobierno de Trump y los asociados del expresidente.Presentó una demanda ...

Trump’s House GOP allies take fight to Manhattan DA’s turf

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:33:16 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Republicans upset with Donald Trump’s indictment are escalating their war on the prosecutor who charged him, trying to embarrass him on his home turf partly by falsely portraying New York City as a place overrun by crime.The House Judiciary Committee, led by U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, is holding a field hearing Monday near the offices of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.The committee’s Republican majority is billing it as an examination of the Democrat’s “pro-crime, anti-victim” policies. One committee member, U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, an Arizona Republican, tweeted that Bragg has “turned NYC into a wasteland,” and that “lawlessness is completely out of control.”Democrats say the hearing is a partisan stunt aimed at amplifying conservative anger at Bragg, Manhattan’s first Black district attorney.New York City officials have urged Jordan to cancel the hearing. C-SPAN has declined to air it on TV.“This is simply an in-kind donation or con...

What sparked the violent struggle to control Sudan’s future?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:33:16 GMT

CAIRO (AP) — Tensions have been brewing for weeks between Sudan’s two most powerful generals, who just 18 months earlier jointly orchestrated a military coup to derail the nation’s transition to democracy.Over the weekend, those tensions between the armed forces chief, Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, and the head of the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group, Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, erupted into an unprecedented battle for control of the resource-rich nation of more than 46 million people.Both men, each with tens of thousands of troops deployed just in the capital of Khartoum, vowed not to negotiate or cease fire, despite mounting global diplomatic pressure. It is a deadly setback for a country at the crossroads of the Arab world and Africa, which four years ago ended the rule of a long-time dictator in part through largely peaceful popular protests.Here’s a look at how Sudan, a country with a long history of coups, reached this point and what is at stake. ___ WHAT...

Nonprofits scramble for help amid dearth of volunteers

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:33:16 GMT

CASA of Lexington has tried just about everything to find volunteers to serve as advocates for abused and neglected children with the Kentucky nonprofit.Since 2020, it has hired someone to focus on recruiting volunteers, added in-person and virtual outreach events and options to complete the required 30-hour training, and printed information on fans to hand out in churches, Melynda Milburn Jamison, its executive director, said. She even visited a men’s-only barbecue to make a quick 10-minute pitch.The result? In 2022, CASA of Lexington had 62 new volunteers complete training, short of its target of 80. Only two came from the group’s recruitment events, with the rest mostly via word of mouth, Jamison said. “We’ve been able to retain keeping the number of children we serve fairly consistent,” she said, “but we should have been increasing because we’ve taken on new counties and we’ve added additional staff.”Jamison is not alone in her frustration. Her experience reflects th...

Timberwolves thrashed by Denver in Game 1

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:33:16 GMT

DENVER — Chris Finch’s pregame comments Sunday proved to be prophetic. The Timberwolves coach liked that his team — which had to win its way into the playoffs via the play-in tournament after a stress-filled end-of-season run — entered the playoffs as a battle-tested squad.But he then noted the other side of the coin — perhaps Minnesota would realize its season was no longer on the line, and could take a breath. Regardless of of Sunday’s result, the Wolves would live another day.That ill-advised mindset would be about the best-case scenario for Minnesota as an explainer for its Game 1 debacle.The Timberwolves were run off the floor in every sense, falling 109-80 to the top-seeded Nuggets.Minnesota was non-competitive for the final three quarters. Denver was more physical and played with more thrust. The Nuggets ran up and down the floor, too often catching Minnesota in a jog.The Nuggets’ defensive game plan was pristine.
