Nueva York (CNN) — Nueve meses después de que Elon Musk restableciera la cuenta de Donald Trump en la red social antes conocida como Twitter, el expresidente está de regreso en la que fue su plataforma preferida para comunicarse con el país.El regreso de Trump, que solía ser uno de los usuarios más destacados, aunque polémicos, del sitio, podría marcar un punto de inflexión para la empresa ahora llamada X tras meses de turbulencias. Trump, que tiene casi 87 millones de seguidores, podría atraer a un amplio conjunto de espectadores, especialmente de cara a las elecciones presidenciales de 2024, en las que es el favorito para la nominación republicana. Pero también podría presentar una nueva serie de desafíos para la red social, incluso para su esfuerzo por reactivar su negocio de publicidad, si Trump decide volver a publicar regularmente en la plataforma.Trump se entregó en Atlanta en la cuarta causa penal abierta en su contra este año. ¿Qué sigue ahora?Este jueves por la noche...

Mikael Ymer announces his abrupt retirement from tennis after failing to overturn doping ban

LONDON (AP) — Swedish tennis player Mikael Ymer has abruptly announced his retirement at the age of 24 after an unsuccessful attempt to overturn an anti-doping suspension.“I’ve decided to retire from professional tennis. Thank you all for the amazing memories! What a ride it’s been! I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition,” Ymer wrote on social media on Friday.Ymer was charged in January 2022 for missing three out-of-competition tests in a 12-month period. He initially fought the charges and said he had been cleared by an independent tribunal in June 2022.But the ITF appealed the decision, after which the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in July partially upheld the two-year ban and imposed an 18-month suspension.“Having already been cleared once, and wholeheartedly standing by the fact that I do not feel that the third offense was committed, I find their decision to try me again and subsequently find me guilty, unfair,” Ymer wrote on Twitter in July. “On ...

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) — A South Florida lawyer has filed a civil lawsuit against Donald Trump in which he argues that the former president is ineligible for office.When asked why he is suing, Boynton Beach-based attorney Lawrence Caplan said on Friday it’s all laid out in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.Caplan added other lawsuits may follow.“I’m not political. I’ve voted for both Democratic and Republican presidents,” he said.He may not be overly political, but Caplan said he has concerns if Trump becomes president of the United States again.“I think we’ll be looking at the end of American democracy as we’ve come to know it,” he said. “There’s no hard and fast rule that says that a democracy has to last forever.”Which is why the attorney said he filed a lawsuit to prevent Trump from running. His reasoning? Trump’s federal indictment following the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Cap...

Will US politicians ban their best way of reaching young voters?

It’s just days before the 2022 midterm election that has professional Democrats fretting about a “red wave,” and though she’s new to politics, Thao Nguyen is confidently nailing all of her marks. The Atlanta-based college student is filming in her mom’s Honda while back home visiting in Michigan, the sort of caught-in-the-middle-of-real-life setting that TikTok seems to eat up. Plus the natural light does wonders for the skin.Nguyen — known as @_nguyenthaoo to her 334,000 followers — is making the latest in her series of #redflags videos, listing the behavior she considers warning signs in a person. One, openly hating on certain fast-food side items: “You know McDonald’s French fries hit different.” Two, only listening to one type of music: “What’s the point of being friends with you if don’t even know, like, old Disney pop songs?” And lastly, being uninterested in politics or voting: “Like, at your big age, you don’t really care about what’s going on around you?

By REBECCA BOONE, BEATRICE DUPUY, GENE JOHNSON and JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER (Associated Press)HONOLULU (AP) — Within a day of Maui County releasing 388 names of people unaccounted for following the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century, more than 100 of them or their relatives came forward to say they’re safe, the FBI said Friday.The agency is reviewing the information they provided and working to remove the names from the list.“We’re very thankful for the people who have reached out by phone or email,” Steven Merrill, the FBI’s special agent in charge in Honolulu, said in a news conference. “As we get someone off of a list, this has enabled us to devote more resources to those who are still on the list.”Several people on the list told The Associated Press earlier in the day that they are alive and well, with a few also saying they were confused or frustrated to be on it.

Shohei Ohtani, Angels take down Kodai Senga, Mets in series opener

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:52:26 GMT

It was a matchup anticipated halfway around the world: Kodai Senga vs. Shohei Ohtani.There was a buzz in the air that hadn’t been felt at Citi Field since back in May when the Mets still had hope for the season. Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels did too, for that matter, and they’re still hoping for a miracle, but they can keep hoping after a 3-1 win over the Mets on Friday night.Ohtani won the matchup against his Japanese countryman going 1-for-1 with two walks. Maybe it was an act of respect when Senga, the Mets’ rookie right-hander, walked Ohtani on four pitches in the first inning. Maybe Senga just didn’t want to see what Ohtani could do to his vaunted forkball. Variations of the pitch are common in Japan, though to be fair, Ohtani can hit just about everything.Senga (10-7) issued only three free passes throughout his 6 2/3 innings appearance, two of which went to Ohtani. However, it was Ohtani’s third-inning double that ultimately doomed Senga and ...
