La razón por la que Biden ha evitado hablar sobre el caso contra Trump

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:11:44 GMT

WASHINGTON DC – Es raro que un mandatario del mundo libre guarde silencio, pero es evidente que el presidente Joe Biden ha resuelto decir lo menos posible sobre la acusación presentada contra su predecesor Donald Trump por la justicia federal.La Casa Blanca esquiva las preguntas al respecto. Su campaña no las responde. Y Biden mismo no quiere tener nada que ver con ello. “No tengo nada que decir sobre lo sucedido”, dijo a la prensa el viernes 9 de junio en Rocky Mount, Carolina del Norte.Esta reticencia refleja la situación precaria y sin precedentes en que se encuentra Biden: así como Trump es el primer expresidente acusado de un crimen federal, Biden es el primer presidente cuyo gobierno ha acusado a su principal rival político.

MIAMI (AP) — Donald Trump became the first former president to face a judge on federal charges as he pleaded not guilty in a Miami courtroom Tuesday to dozens of felony counts that he hoarded classified documents and refused government demands to give them back.The history-making arraignment, centering on charges that Trump mishandled government secrets that as commander-in-chief he was entrusted to protect, kickstarts a legal process that will unfold at the height of the 2024 presidential campaign and carry profound consequences not only for his political future but also for his own personal liberty.Trump approached his arraignment with characteristic bravado, posting social media broadsides against the prosecution from inside his motorcade and insisting as he has through years of legal woes that he has done nothing wrong and was being persecuted for political purposes. But he sat scowling inside the courtroom with his arms crossed as a lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behal...

State Joint Committee on the Judiciary takes public testimony on proposal to legalize magic mushrooms

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:11:44 GMT

A drug debate continued on Beacon Hill Tuesday with the state Joint Committee on the Judiciary taking public testimony on psychedelic drugs. Several political leaders and local doctors are looking to decriminalize such drugs by legalizing magic mushrooms and certain other plants and fungi containing psychedelic compounds. “I think it’s very clear that they offer immense potential benefit for a variety of different conditions,” said Dr. Franklin King of the Mass. General Center for the Neuroscience of Psychedelics. “It’s almost impossible to overdose on any psychedelics and it’s biologically impossible to become addicted to them,” King continued. “So, the legal structure that surrounds them is completely inaccurate.” Pending legislation would allow any person 18 years or older to grow, eat or share magic mushrooms in Massachusetts. Public testimony on the topic of psychedelic drugs came alongside other testimony before the Joint Committee on the Judiciary on dozen...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:11:44 GMT

A seventh grade student in Middleboro has asked a judge to step in after his school ordered him to take off a shirt that said “There are only two genders.” The student wore the same shirt after the school asked him to take it off but covered a part of the statement to make the shirt instead say “There are genders.”The student is seeking an order from the judge to stop the ban from the school. Speaking on Tuesday, his attorney said the restrictions go against the student’s first amendment rights. “Schools can restrict speech when it actually disrupts what’s going on in school because, obviously, they have to run a school,” said lawyer Logan Spena. “But it can’t restrict speech just because it disagrees with the student’s viewpoint or thinks that it’s offensive or the like.”“The school is actually targeting and disparaging Liam, himself, when he’s not doing that to anybody else,” Spena said. School officials have made a sta...

June Gloom

Has June seemed overly cloudy to you? Well it’s not your imagination. June 2023 is (so far) the cloudiest June we’ve had since 2009. But as we talked about in yesterday’s blog, that doesn’t necessarily correlate to high rainfall amounts — just rainy days. If you missed it, here’s yesterday’s blog: Another Unsettled Week.The unsettled pattern rolls on this week but thankfully it’s a mild and unsettled pattern the next few days, unlike last week’s cool and unsettled pattern. Temperatures will try to hit 80° each day for the rest of the week, but it does look like the page will turn on that as we head into the weekend.Rain chances will spike the next couple of days but no day is a complete washout. Most of our rain and storm chances will be in the afternoon and evening with the morning’s being dry. In Thursday’s case, it’s only just a 10% chance altogether.Tomorrow will start off dry and we’ll have a mix of s...

Fox News tells Tucker Carlson to cease-and-desist

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:11:44 GMT

WASHINGTON — Fox News sent Tucker Carlson a cease-and-desist letter over his new Twitter series, Axios reported Monday, amid reports of a contract battle between the conservative network and its former prime-time host.Carlson was ousted from Fox in late April, less than a week after Fox agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems nearly $800 million to settle an explosive defamation case. The network provided no explanation for the firing, but a wave of reports on damaging text messages and other statements Carlson made during his time at Fox have since piled up.Since leaving Fox, Carlson kicked off a “Tucker on Twitter” series — arguing that Twitter was “the only” major remaining platform that allows free speech as he denounced news media. The series, which has published two episodes so far, has appeared to escalate contract tensions between Carlson and Fox.Fox has demanded Carlson stop posting videos to Twitter, The New York Times also reported Monday — as the ne...
