CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett was fined $25,000 by the NFL for “public criticism of officiating” after he made pointed remarks following last week’s game against Jacksonville, a person familiar with the punishment told The Associated Press.Garrett was informed of the fine Saturday, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the league has not made this week’s player fines public.Angered by the Jags not being penalized for holding him, Garrett called the officiating a travesty following Cleveland’s 31-27 win and said it’s time for the officials to be held to a higher standard.“Someone has to hold them accountable for the plays or the calls they don’t make,” he said. “And they need to be under the same kind of microscope as we are every single play.”Garrett’s frustration had been building at what he feels is a lack of penalties being called against offensive linemen while blocking him. He&#...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia and Ukraine each reported dozens of attempted drone attacks in the past day, just hours after Hungary vetoed 50 billion euros ($54.5 billion) of European Union funding to Ukraine.

As Trump threatens to repeal Obamacare, these ‘insurance godmothers’ are signing Florida Latinos up

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:03:42 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Salsa music blares from the food court in a rundown Miami shopping center as Latinos head to a kiosk and an office showing signs for “ Obamacare,” where they hope to renew their health coverage plans before the year ends.It’s areas near this mall where former Democratic President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul is more popular than anywhere in the country, according to federal data. The region has also shifted away from Democrats to Republicans in recent years, with Donald Trump hosting several rallies here as part of his outreach to Latino voters. Trump, the current front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, has pledged to renew efforts to repeal and replace the 2010 law — something that would be felt heavily in the region and could possibly reverse some of the GOP shift among South Florida’s Latinos, experts say. President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign has already seized on Trump’s statements about “Obamacare,”...

Análisis | Ucrania tuvo una semana terrible. Culpa a Estados Unidos y a la UE

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:03:42 GMT

(CNN) — Ucrania está en el medio de un problema en el que debe luchar por explicar qué tan mal va la guerra.Hacer una evaluación pública sincera de lo mal que va un conflicto puede ser imprudente, ya que puede resultar en una pérdida de moral y apoyo. Después de que Obama aumentara la cantidad de tropas en Afganistán, el apoyo público disminuyó con el paso de los años, en parte debido a una falta de realismo sobre cómo se estaba desarrollando la guerra.La muy mala presentación que hace Ucrania de sus problemas se debe principalmente a la miopía de sus aliados.La falta de comprensión en partes del Congreso de Estados Unidos es asombrosa. Un congresista sugirió esta semana que Ucrania debería fijar un precio finito y un objetivo específico y simple. Es asombroso, después de dos guerras estadounidenses en dos décadas, que costaron billones de dólares, que la memoria del Congreso sea tan corta y la comprensión, tan limitada.En cambio, Kyiv señala constantemente los éxitos pasados ...
