Aunque el caos bancario no “forzará necesariamente una recesión”, dijo, “esto es recesivo”.Se avecinan tormentas para la economía, dijo Dimon.

Tennessee House expels 2nd Democratic lawmaker after falling short of ousting another

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:13:23 GMT

(CNN) — Tennessee’s Republican-controlled House of Representatives has voted to expel Rep. Justin Pearson, a week after he and two other Democrats led a gun reform protest on the House floor.The House earlier expelled Rep. Justin Jones over that protest, which followed a deadly mass shooting at a Nashville school. A vote to expel the third Democrat involved, Rep. Gloria Johnson, failed.The vote over rules violations for Pearson was 69-26. Johnson’s vote was 65-30. Expulsion from the House requires a two-thirds majority of the total membership. The vote for Jones split along party lines, 72-25.Protesters flooded the state Capitol on Thursday as the legislators were set to take up three resolutions filed by GOP lawmakers Monday seeking to expel Jones, of Nashville, Johnson of Knoxville and Pearson of Memphis, a step the state House has taken only twice since the 1860s.The crowd erupted in boos and chants following both expulsions.“There comes a time w...

Bruins keep winning, but lose Charlie McAvoy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:13:23 GMT

The Bruins notched their 61st victory of the season. They can only hope that it wasn’t a costly one.David Pastrnak, who committed a bad turnover earlier in the game, blasted a one-timer past Ilya Samsonov at 2:30 of overtime to lift the B’s to a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Garden. It was Pastrnak’s 57th of the year, coming off a nice feed from Dmitry Orlov on a 4-on-4 just after a Leaf penalty was up.But the B’s have to be holding their collective breath after Charlie McAvoy left the game in the second period when he crashed hard into the boards and did not return. It was announced he had an upper body injury.Shortly before the winner, Pavel Zacha had been called for a hand pass off a faceoff, a two-minute infraction but the officials got together and correctly rescinded the call, thus allowing the B’s to notch the winner.The Bruins trailed 1-0 in the third period but, just after their third failed power play, they tied it at 11:32. ...
