Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:12:09 GMT

The expanded Front Range League looks a little different this spring, but it’s the same teams who are dominating on the diamond.Broomfield, the defending Class 5A state champion, is currently the state’s No. 2-ranked team. No. 1 Rocky Mountain – owners of six state titles like the Eagles – and No. 9 Legacy (2022 runner-up) are also showing early promise.Coming out of last season’s all-Front Range League 5A final, the three schools are the favorites in the new-look league that added four schools this season in Erie, Prairie View, Northglenn and Brighton.“To finish at or near the top of our league, you’re going to be battle-tested just like a lot of those leagues down south in the suburbs,” Broomfield coach Kale Gilmore said. “Rocky Mountain looks like they’re back to who they usually are; Legacy’s going to be tough again, Fossil Ridge is going to be tough. There’s a lot of good teams, plus we added to the depth o...

California reminder: Tax filing deadline, for most, shifts to October

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:12:09 GMT

Just eight days remain until the traditional tax filing deadline, but most Californians can take a breather and wait it out.Why? Storms, wildfires and flood damage late last year and into early 2023 extended the tax filing deadlines for most Californians.The new deadline of Oct. 16 applies to California and federal individual and business tax returns and payments. The Franchise Tax Board said taxpayers who suffered financial losses to storm damage are eligible to claim those losses on their tax returns.The IRS said the extension includes most 2022 individual and business returns originally due April 18. Other business returns, normally due on March 15 and April 18, and returns of tax-exempt organizations typically due on May 15, also were extended.Related ArticlesBusiness | IRS vows to audit more wealthy folks, provide better service Business | Letters: Homeless sweep | Others’ money | UC fixes | Letter misleads | Climate change aid Business | ...

McManus: Get ready to add criminal trials to Trump campaign chaos

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:12:09 GMT

The calendar for the 2024 presidential campaign just became a lot more complicated.Not the primary calendar. The trial calendar.Last week, former President Donald Trump was arraigned in Manhattan on felony charges stemming from a hush money payment to a porn star.Given the Dickensian pace of court proceedings in New York, Trump’s trial won’t begin until next year, right in the middle of the election campaign.His lawyers are expected to file motions challenging the case in August, just in time for the first GOP presidential debate. Those preliminary battles could go all the way to the Supreme Court.That isn’t the only potential train wreck on the horizon.Trump faces three more possible indictments: a Georgia prosecution based on his attempts to reverse that state’s 2020 election result; federal charges over his hoard of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago; and charges stemming from his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, plot to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden...

Opinion: Expelled Tennessee lawmakers demonstrate political bravery

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:12:09 GMT

The churn of local politics rarely makes national news unless the outlet happens to be C-SPAN, but headlines, history and careers were made during proceedings at Tennessee’s State Capitol on Thursday when a GOP supermajority voted to expel two of three Democratic legislators for their participation in a gun control rally.In a brazen act of political retribution, Democratic Reps. Justin Jones, Gloria Johnson and Justin Pearson were accused of “violating decorum rules” for their part in a protest last week on the House floor following a mass shooting at a private school in Nashville where six people — including three 9-year-olds — were slain. Jones and Pearson, who are Black, were expelled by the Republican legislators. Johnson, who is White, was not. And it was all caught on live feeds from the chamber and local news outlets.The vote was stunning, even now, when defying the rule of law is practically a badge of honor among many right-wing leaders. The ousting was so brazen it could h...

Nueva York (CNN) — Bajo el mandato de Elon Musk, Twitter se ha enemistado con varias de las principales organizaciones de noticias al etiquetarlas como medios financiados por el Estado, parece haber suavizado las restricciones a las cuentas del gobierno ruso y ha hecho bromas groseras en la fachada de su sede y en el propio nombre de Musk para mostrar en Twitter.Y eso solo este fin de semana.Las payasadas de Musk, que parecen haberse intensificado este mes, amenazan con erosionar aún más el valor de la marca Twitter. Durante meses, la empresa ha luchado por retener a los anunciantes y complementar su decreciente negocio publicitario -que anteriormente suponía el 90% de sus ingresos anuales- convenciendo a los usuarios para que paguen por su servicio de suscripción Twitter Blue.Musk, que tiene que hacer grandes pagos a los prestamistas tras comprar la empresa por us$ 44.000 millones, incluida una importante deuda, debe convencer a los anunciantes indecisos para que vuelvan a la...
