Blow: It’s clear that Ron DeSantis is no longer on the rise, but someone else is

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:22:16 GMT

MILWAUKEE — In a crowded debate, you can tell which candidates are seen as the greatest threat because they take the most incoming fire from their rivals.During the Republican presidential primary debate Wednesday night, that person wasn’t Ron DeSantis, who was once considered Donald Trump’s greatest threat, but Vivek Ramaswamy, a 38-year-old political upstart with little chance of actually securing the nomination.Watching the DeSantis campaign collapse has been an extraordinarily edifying spectacle.There would have been no DeSantis without Trump. Trump endorsed DeSantis for governor of Florida when DeSantis was struggling against a strong Republican opponent for the party’s nomination. DeSantis rode Trump’s endorsement to victory.So there was always something about the DeSantis campaign that seemed reminiscent of Macbeth coming to kill his king. The only problem is that DeSantis has ambition, but not the bloodlust. He lacks the courage, which is ironic given that before his r...

Stanford teenager Asher Hong in first place entering final day of men’s U.S. Gymnastics Championships

SAN JOSE — One day after 19-year-old Stanford sophomore Asher Hong finished Day 1 of the U.S. Gymnastics Championships on the top of the leaderboard, his coach was still thinking about how much better it could’ve been.Hong had shocked Stanford coach Thom Glielmi when he fell during his floor exercise, earning him a 13.561 score that ranked 21st in the exercise.Even so, Hong was so dominant in every other exercise that the Texas-born teenager will enter Saturday’s finals at the SAP Center with an 85.615 score while sitting in first place.“I can’t believe he missed his floor routine,” Glielmi said. “He’s been very consistent with that. He just got a little buckle on the punch going into that second pass. That was a bit of a surprise. But he’s pretty consistent, trains the way he competes. But it could be even better.”Hong, a three-time NCAA All-American during his freshman season while helping lead Stanford to a national championship, is still looking for his first individual na...

Shelling kills civilians in Ukraine’s northeast as fears grow of a second Russian takeover

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:22:16 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces struck a cafe in a key front-line area in northeastern Ukraine Saturday, killing two civilians and wounding a third, regional officials said. The shelling near the city of Kupiansk came as U.K. officials said that Russia may try to retake the area, which was captured by Kyiv in a lightning counteroffensive last September after more than six months of Russian occupation. Fierce fighting there earlier this month prompted mandatory evacuations and fears of a second Russian takeover. Russian shells on Saturday morning struck the cafe in Podoly, an eastern suburb of Kupiansk, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said in a Telegram post. He added that rescue teams were working at the site. U.K. military intelligence on Saturday assessed that Russia may “increase the intensity of its offensive efforts” around Kupiansk and nearby Lyman in an attempt to take pressure off its forces near Bakhmut and in the Zaporizhzhia region, where a Ukrainian counteroffensiv...

A broad genetic test saved one newborn’s life. Research suggests it could help millions of others

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:22:16 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — Brynn Schulte nearly died twice when she was a baby, at one point needing emergency surgery for massive bleeding in her brain.No one knew what was wrong until a test that looked at her full genetic blueprint found a rare bleeding disorder called factor XIII deficiency — an early diagnosis that saved her life.“You have this hopeless feeling when you don’t really know what’s going on,” said her father, Mike Schulte. “Casting a wide net really made a world of difference figuring this out quickly and getting her the right care that she needed almost immediately.”Brynn, now 4, got the genetic testing as part of a clinical trial, the results of which were published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association. “Whole genome” tests are nearly twice as good as narrower tests at unearthing genetic abnormalities that can cause disease in infants — the study found 49% of abnormalities, compared to 27% with more commonly used tests targeting particular types of ...
