ANÁLISIS | Un día extraordinario en la cárcel del condado de Fulton mientras se avecina la entrega de Trump

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:49:36 GMT

(CNN) — Un desfile de coacusados de Donald Trump acordando fianzas y entregándose en una cárcel de Atlanta está marcando un camino de rendición de cuentas que el expresidente y cabecilla de la supuesta conspiración de manipulación electoral seguirá este jueves, en uno de los días más discordantes en la historia presidencial.Pero los nuevos ataques de Trump a los fiscales y las maniobras legales de algunos de sus excolaboradores subrayan su creencia de que se puede desafiar la ley y de que no debería haber consecuencias por subvertir la democracia, la misma actitud que alimentó las falsas pretensiones de victoria de Trump en 2020 y que sigue impulsando sus acciones mientras busca regresar a la Casa Blanca. Esto es especialmente preocupante dado que Trump, a pesar de haber decidido saltarse el primer debate de las primarias de este miércoles, tiene muchas posibilidades de convertirse en el candidato presidencial del Partido Republicano en 2024.Una vez más —como ocurrió con la co...

How Biden’s SAVE student loan repayment plan can lower your bill

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:49:36 GMT

Washington (CNN) — While the Supreme Court struck down President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness program in late June, a separate and significant change to the federal student loan system is moving ahead.Eligible borrowers can now enroll in a new income-driven repayment plan that could lower their monthly bills and reduce the amount they pay back over the lifetime of their loans.If borrowers apply this summer, the changes to their bills are expected take effect before payments resume in October after the yearslong pandemic pause ends. But the Biden administration is encouraging borrowers to apply as soon as possible to make sure the changes happen on time.Once the plan, which Biden is calling SAVE (Saving on a Valuable Education), is fully phased in next year, some people will see their monthly bills cut in half and remaining debt canceled after making at least 10 years of payments.Unlike Biden’s blocked one-time forgiveness program, the new repayment plan will provide benefits...

Column: Jerry Reinsdorf finally fires Ken Williams and Rick Hahn, but there are still more Chicago White Sox moves to make

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:49:36 GMT

Chicago White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf made the second-most-popular decision he could make Tuesday in firing executive vice president Ken WIlliams and general manager Rick Hahn.The only thing better, in the eyes of most White Sox fans, would’ve been for Reinsdorf to announce he was selling the team.But you can’t have everything in life, and at least, for one moment, Sox fans could rejoice.It was their victory, after all.There’s no chance Reinsdorf would’ve fired two of the three men most responsible for the downfall of the franchise (the other being himself) without the nonstop protests of Sox fans who had enough of the losing, the lack of accountability and the series of public relations blunders, from hiring Tony La Russa (Reindorf’s fault) to canceling SoxFest to trading popular third baseman Jake Burger.But don’t stop now, Jerry.
