Federal appeals court denies Trump’s effort to delay E. Jean Carroll civil trial

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:27 GMT

(CNN) — A federal appeals court denied Donald Trump’s effort to delay his defamation trial set to begin in two weeks.In a brief court order issued late last week, a three-member panel of judges for the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, denied Trump’s motion without elaborating.Trump asked the appeals court to delay the trial after he lost an earlier attempt to use presidential immunity as a defense to the defamation allegations. He said he needed additional time to consider his options, including potentially seeking review by the US Supreme Court. He could still do that, but he would need to move quickly since the defamation trial is set to begin on January 16.A spokeswoman for Trump could not immediately be reached.Last month, the Second Circuit ruled that Trump could not use presidential immunity to defend against the defamation allegation brought by E. Jean Carroll because he waited too long to say he wanted to use it, affirming a decision by the trial court j...

The people’s inflation is still a big problem

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:27 GMT

What is inflation? Officially, it’s the change in average consumer prices over a period — a number that has, in recent months, been easing down toward the US Federal Reserve’s 2% target. But for many people, it’s a way to describe in one word the struggle to make ends meet.On the latter front, the battle against inflation is far from won.Can’t afford to buy a home? Using credit card debt to buy groceries? Paying out of pocket for prescription drugs? All these problems are part of the people’s inflation, which isn’t rooted in supply chain issues or monetary policy or how quickly the Fed acted. It reflects the systemic weaknesses and market failures that have long dogged our economy.The list of markets that fail to deliver affordable and accessible goods and services is long, including child care and prescription drugs, but the surge in prices of the past couple years has brought to the forefront two items crucial to survival: food and shelter.Food prices have risen 25% since the star...

Two Massachusetts State Police troopers were struck by a door of a vehicle their agency says fled a traffic stop on Blue Hill Avenue. Neither suffered serious injuries.At 10:30 a.m. Monday, a trooper saw a black Land Rover driving down Blue Hill Avenue. The trooper said he stopped the vehicle because it had no front license plate and “extreme” dark tint on the windows — later tested as so dark it allowed only 3% of light through, significantly less than the minimum 35% allowed by state law.When the trooper and his partner approached the vehicle and told the driver to lower the tinted window, they say they saw three males inside who “appeared to be very nervous.”A records check for the driver, who police identify as Tylique K. Ortiz-Howard, 25, of Boston, allegedly revealed a criminal history for firearms violations, so they called in a Boston Police officer for backup before the troopers approached again.Ortiz-Howard allegedly became hostile when the troopers asked him to step out. ...
