Five takeaways from Trump's arraignment 

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:46:19 GMT

(The Hill) — Former President Donald Trump was arraigned on 37 criminal charges on Tuesday in Miami on a day at once extraordinary and mundane. He pleaded not guilty to all charges. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! The extraordinary was the nature of the event itself—the first-ever federal arraignment of a former president. The mundane was that the day proceeded largely as expected, with little new being learned about the case and little drama at the court itself.The charges pertain to Trump's possession of sensitive documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Related charges, including one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, also carry the threat of significant prison time if convicted. A trial could potentially land amidst the GOP primary race where Trump is the frontrunner.Trump tries to seize back the narrativeTrump sought to punch back on Tuesday evening, trying to change the narrative of a day that highlighted ...

Ohio House votes to mandate defibrillators in schools, sports venues after collapse of Bills' Hamlin

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:46:19 GMT

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Automatic external defibrillators, or AEDs, could be placed in nearly every school or sports and recreation venue in Ohio under a proposal that cleared the Republican-dominated House Wednesday with overwhelming bipartisan support.The legislation, sparked by the sudden cardiac arrest of Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin in January on the field during a football game in Cincinnati, would require that all public schools, municipally-owned sports and recreation locations such as gymnasiums and swimming pools, and some private schools have on-site AEDs. It cleared the chamber on an 84-6 vote.Current Ohio law allows school districts to require AEDs on site, but it's an elective decision that's left to individual districts.State Rep. Adam Bird of New Richmond, one of the bill's sponsors, said he's confident many districts already have AEDs, but making it a requirement can help further protect students. Under the bill, employees would be required to undergo special tra...

Keeler: Nuggets’ Jamal Murray is best player to never make NBA’s All-Star team. That’s changing next year. “His legend is still growing.”

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:46:19 GMT

If you want to sit Jamal Murray at David Thompson’s table, the Skywalker’s more than happy to scoot over to make room.“I think his legend is still growing,” Thompson, arguably the greatest guard in Nuggets history, told me when I’d asked him recently about Murray, the first point guard to lead Denver to an NBA championship. “It’s coming.“Yeah, it’s coming. And he’s gonna be right there. (When) he’s healthy, he’s as good as anybody.”Game recognizes game.Nikola Jokic, basketball king of the world, was already dancing on Mount Olympus when the NBA playoffs started.
