Averigua tu hora pico local usando la calculadora de luna llena de The Old Farmer’s Almanac y verifica el pronóstico local.El nombre de esta última luna llena de la primavera boreal, que a veces es la primera luna llena del verano boreal, no tiene nada que ver con la apariencia o el color de la luna.

Biden signs debt ceiling bill that pulls US back from brink of unprecedented default

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:15:06 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — With just two days to spare, President Joe Biden signed legislation on Saturday that lifts the nation’s debt ceiling, averting an unprecedented default on the federal government’s debt.The White House announced the signing, done in private at the White House, in an emailed statement in which Biden thanked congressional leaders for their partnership.The Treasury Department had warned that the country would start running short of cash to pay all of its bills on Monday, which would have sent shockwaves through the U.S. and global economies.Republicans refused to raise the country’s borrowing limit unless Democrats agreed to cut spending, leading to a standoff that was not resolved until weeks of intense negotiations between the White House and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.The final agreement, passed by the House on Wednesday and the Senate on Thursday, suspends the debt limit until 2025 — after the n...

For football fans of a certain age, it may seem unthinkable that the entire AFC North division is now playing catch-up with the Cincinnati Bengals.This is a franchise that did not appear in a single playoff game from 1991 through 2004. They lost in the AFC’s Wild Card round five straight years from 2011 through 2015.They watched the Pittsburgh Steelers (2005, 2008) and Baltimore Ravens (2000, 2012) each win two Super Bowls in a span of 13 seasons, including the Ravens’ first out of the old AFC Central.The Steelers and New England Patriots are tied for the most Super Bowl championships with six apiece. Pittsburgh also won the AFC North four times in eight seasons from 2013 through 2020 and didn’t finish lower than second once.Suddenly, however, head coach Zac Taylor and quarterback Joe Burrow have led the Bengals to two AFC North titles, a 22-11 regular season, an 8-5 division record, a 5-2 playoff record, two AFC Championship berths and one Super Bowl appearance in...

The company that makes the opioid addiction treatment drug Suboxone, a branded combo of buprenorphine and naloxone, has agreed to pay $102.5 million to 41 states and the District of Columbia to settle claims that the company engaged in anticompetitive practices, it announced Friday.The agreement with Indivior, based in North Chesterfield, Virginia, averts a trial that was scheduled to start later this year.States, including Massachusetts, claimed that the company, previously a subsidiary of Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals, made modest changes to Suboxone to extend patent protection and keep generic versions of the drug off the market.The case is distinct from claims brought by governments against other opioid makers, claiming they helped cause or deepen a nationwide overdose crisis. Those have resulted in settlements totaling more than $50 billion so far.Chase says online banking issue now resolved after bug causes double transactions and feesCustomers of Chase’s online banking se...
