“Están equivocados”: McCarthy responde a sus críticos sobre el techo de la deuda mientras enfrenta las críticas negativas de los republicanos de línea dura

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:02:26 GMT

(CNN) — En febrero, el líder de la mayoría del Senado, Chuck Schumer, hizo una predicción audaz sobre el Partido Republicano y el techo de la deuda: “No creemos que tengan un plan que pueda aprobarse con los votos republicanos en la Cámara”, dijo.Más tarde insistió en que la Casa Blanca no negociaría con el presidente de la Cámara, Kevin McCarthy, un aumento del techo de la deuda y que, en última instancia, el Congreso levantaría el límite de endeudamiento sin ninguna condición.“Limpio, limpio, limpio”, le dijo a CNN en abril, refiriéndose al impulso para una resolución de techo de deuda limpia.Pero McCarthy finalmente aprobó un proyecto de ley en abril basado únicamente en los votos del Partido Republicano. Luego obligó al presidente Joe Biden a negociar una suspensión del límite de la deuda con recortes de gastos. Y este miércoles por la noche, la Cámara aprobó el acuerdo McCarthy-Biden con una votación de 314-177, incluso ganando el respaldo de más de la mayoría de los repu...

United looking to stop treble-chasing City in first all-Manchester FA Cup final

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:02:26 GMT

The roars grew louder inside Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag addressed Manchester United fans from the middle of the field, reminding them of the role they have in protecting the club’s greatest ever achievement.There was one game to go this season, the United manager told the baying crowd, and his players standing right in front of him were ready to give their all to beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.“We count on you as well,” he said, pointing to the supporters, who by now were punching the air in defiance. “They will give everything when you are at our backs, and I’m sure we’ve a really good chance to take the cup back to Old Trafford.”As rallying cries go, it was pretty much pitch perfect from Ten Hag, who knows exactly what’s at stake on Saturday in a local derby with widespread repercussions.For United, this is about much more than capturing a second trophy of the season — after the English League Cup in February that ended the club’s six-year titl...

EVANSTON, Wyoming (KSTU) — A new white bison calf was born at Bear River State Park in Evanston earlier in May, attracting the attention of hundreds of visitors.Just an hour and a half away from Salt Lake City, this sighting has captured the attention of many Utahns — like the White family, who are no strangers to rare occurrences, including raising spontaneous triplets.The Whites, with their four kids, including the three triplets, embarked on a Memorial Day weekend trip to Bear River State Park upon hearing about the presence of two white bison and a newborn calf.“We packed some binoculars and thought we’d have to be looking for them in the hills, but it turns out they’re right across the fence and right off the freeway. We saw them driving in,” Michael White said. “Apparently, it’s not an albino buffalo; it’s actually genetically a white buffalo.”Bear River State Park is home to three white bison. The first two were acquired i...
