Here’s how Trump’s 2024 rivals responded to his third indictment

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:03:52 GMT

Former President Donald Trump’s rivals for the GOP presidential nomination were quick to issue statements Tuesday evening after federal prosecutors charged him with conspiring to seize a second term after losing the 2020 election.Most respected the dominant view of the GOP base that Trump is being railroaded:Tim Scott was among those pivoting to Hunter Biden: “What we see today are two different tracks of justice. One for political opponents and another for the son of the current president.”Vivek Ramaswamy repeated his promise to pardon Trump and said Jan. 6 was the result of censorship: “Donald Trump isn’t the cause of what happened on Jan 6. The real cause was systematic & pervasive censorship of citizens in the year leading up to it.”Ron DeSantis, who has also said he would pardon Trump of any federal crimes, leaned into the idea that any Washington jury was inherently unjust: “Washington, DC is a ‘swamp’ and it is unfair to have t...

‘They made it really easy.’ After playing a waiting game, Jed Hoyer buys in on Chicago Cubs roster at trade deadline.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:03:52 GMT

Jeimer Candelario, back in the Wrigley Field home dugout for the first time almost exactly six years later, glanced down at his new first baseman’s mitt.Well, not really new but borrowed, a smiling Candelario noted. Written in script across the light blue glove is Chicago Cubs teammate Miguel Amaya’s name. Acquired Monday by the organization, Candelario started at first base Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds.It’s a position manager David Ross said the 29-year-old switch hitter will play a “significant amount.” Except Candelario, who hasn’t played first base since 2020 in Detroit, no longer owns a first baseman’s mitt. He bought a couple after that season but then didn’t play the position the following year and he gave them away.So, for now, he is borrowing Amaya’s, but it’s Candelario’s offense and the power he adds to the Cubs that makes his addition especially valuable over the next two months as they try to...

Past month was about ‘putting Chicago White Sox in as good a position possible going forward.’ So where do they stand now?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:03:52 GMT

There was a lot of dialogue between the Chicago White Sox and other teams leading up to Tuesday’s trade deadline.“There was, as usual and really just the nature of the beast, a lot of at times erroneous or contradictory information out there about what we would do or what we wouldn’t do or who we’d listen on and who we want,” Sox general manager Rick Hahn said during a video conference call Tuesday. “And the reality is that from the start of this process, we entered the entire thing extremely open-minded.“That’s how you end up with a Jake Burger for (Jake) Eder deal. Obviously far, far more deals did not come to fruition than the six that did, but even those conversations could help us come this offseason. Sometimes these conversations take a little longer. Different periods for player acquisition have different results. But we got a good sense of the value of many of our players, potential fits for not only the past few days but for t...

Latino player alleges racist head-shaving in 10th hazing lawsuit against Northwestern University

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:03:52 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — Ramon Diaz says he was just 17 years old when Northwestern University upperclassmen shaved “Cinco de Mayo” onto the back of his head as the entire football team watched.“The holiday itself has a significant meaning to me and my family and then the Latino community at large,” Diaz told The Associated Press. “I was mocked and ridiculed.”Diaz said he was the only Latino offensive lineman on the team at a time when the athletic department’s culture allowed racist and sexual abuse to thrive and caused psychological and emotional damage to athletes of color. A lawsuit announced on Diaz’ behalf Wednesday is the 10th against the prestigious private university since student journalists at The Daily Northwestern published an article on July 8 that suggested head coach Patrick Fitzgerald may have been aware of hazing, leading to his firing after 17 seasons. Northwestern announced Tuesday that it has hired former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to lead an investig...

Georgia prosecutors are suing to strike down a new law that hamstrings their authority

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:03:52 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — Four district attorneys in Georgia are asking a judge to strike down a law creating a commission to discipline and remove state prosecutors, arguing it violates the U.S. and Georgia constitutions.The attack on Georgia’s Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission, filed Wednesday in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta, comes after Republicans pushed through a law creating the panel earlier this year. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp pledged when he signed the law that it would curb “far-left prosecutors” who are “making our communities less safe.”Sherry Boston, the district attorney in the overwhelmingly Democratic Atlanta suburb of DeKalb County and the lead plaintiff challenging the law, called the issue “bigger than Georgia.”“We are talking about prosecutorial discretion and prosecutorial independence, both of which have been solidly under assault the last few years,” Boston told The Associated Press.Republicans nationwide are pushing back on a sea change in pros...

Burnout, low pay and politics are driving away teachers. Turnover is soaring for educators of color

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:03:52 GMT

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Rhonda Hicks could have kept working into her 60s. She loved teaching and loved her students in Philadelphia’s public schools. As a Black woman, she took pride in being a role model for many children of color.But other aspects of the job deteriorated, such as growing demands from administrators over what and how to teach. And when she retires in a few weeks, she will join a disproportionately high number of Black and Hispanic teachers in her state who are leaving the profession.“I enjoy actually teaching, that part I’ve always enjoyed,” said Hicks, 59. “Sometimes it’s a little stressful. Sometimes the kids can be difficult. But it’s the higher-ups: ‘Do it this way or don’t do it at all.’”Teachers are leaving jobs in growing numbers, state reports show. The turnover in some cases is highest among teachers of color. A major culprit: stress — from pandemic-era burnout, low pay and the intrusion of politics into classrooms. But the burdens can be heavier in school...
