Jewish and Muslim students on many campuses say too little is being done to keep them safe. Protests have sometimes turned violent including at a recent dem...

Ukraine’s president rules out holding elections next spring and calls for unity in fighting Russia

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 16:41:35 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy late Monday ruled out holding a presidential vote in the spring and urged his countrymen to avoid political divides, saying they must concentrate all resources on fighting Russia.Zelenskyy’s comments in a video address follow increasing discussions about the possibility of a presidential election in March. Zelenskyy, who was elected for a five-year term in March 2019, had previously avoided definitive statements on the question. His associates had said he was pondering various possibilities.“Now, in wartime, when there are so many challenges, it is absolutely irresponsible to throw the topic of elections into society in a lighthearted and playful way,” Zelenskyy said, adding that ”the waves of any politically divisive things must stop.”“We must realize that now is the time of defense, the time of the battle that determines the fate of the state and people, not the time of manipulations, which only Russia expect...

Treasury’s Yellen calls Republican effort to cut IRS funding for Israel ‘damaging and irresponsible’

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 16:41:35 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called Republicans’ most recent round of proposed funding cuts to the IRS “damaging and irresponsible” during an event Tuesday meant to commemorate new customer service improvements to the agency. “Playing politics with IRS funding is unacceptable,” she said, referring to an aid bill that passed the House last week — unlikely to be approved by the Democratic-controlled Senate — that would cut $14 billion from the nation’s tax collector in exchange for providing assistance to Israel as it pursues a war against militant Hamas in Gaza. While House Republicans say the IRS cuts would save taxpayer money and offset spending, independent budget analysts say the cuts would cost taxpayers billions of dollars from uncollected tax revenues. President Joe Biden has said he would veto the bill if it reaches his desk.“The current proposals to cut funding for the IRS make this an especially crucial time to talk about the importance of t...

Steinbrenner consulted with players over whether Boone should return as Yankees manager

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 16:41:35 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner questioned current and former players along with staff on whether to keep Aaron Boone before deciding the New York manager will return next year.New York faded from contention by mid-August and finished 82-80, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2016.“It was awful. We accomplished nothing. We didn’t win a division, didn’t make it to the playoffs, didn’t win a series in the playoffs, much less a championship,” Steinbrenner said Tuesday during an online news conference. “The fans didn’t get anywhere close to what they deserved.”Steinbrenner delivered a stern message when he addressed staff last month at the start of three days of meetings in Tampa, Florida.“I told them this season is completely unacceptable, that we got a winning record — that’s not an accomplishment, that’s a requirement, as far as I’m concerned,” Steinbrenner said.Boone, 50, replaced Joe Girardi before the 2018 season. Boone has a 509-361 rec...
