Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:35:25 GMT

There’s nothing official about it, but there should be plenty of smoke — and maybe a little fire ­— when two governors, one a Democrat and the other a Republican, meet for what is being called a debate on the Fox News channel.The chief executives in question — Democrat Gavin Newsom of California and Republican Ron DeSantis of Florida — have been doing more than their fair share of sparring over recent months.Florida sent planeloads of undocumented immigrants to California in June. And before that, DeSantis made news with everything from regulating how racism, sexual orientation and gender identity are taught in schools to wresting local political control away from Disney’s Florida operation after the entertainment giant disavowed his “don’t say gay” policies.RELATED: California versus Florida: A look at the states before Newsom debates DeSantisAnd then there’s the small matter of the 2024 presidential race.

Deion Sanders is Sports Illustrated's 2023 Sportsperson of the Year

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:35:25 GMT

The photo shoot was progressing the way they often do, becoming a war of wills pitting the perfectionists with the cameras and the lighting and the smoke machine against the impatient subjects arrayed in front of them. Between poses, Deion Sanders was getting fidgety.The coach of Colorado was surrounded by his people: His agent, the school’s chancellor and athletic director, and 99-year-old superfan Peggy Coppom were among the entourage. As the photo crew pored over details, Sanders lobbed one-liners at his sons—social media maven Deion Jr., Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur and safety Shilo. He wrapped his arm around his daughter, Colorado basketball player Shelomi, kissing her on the temple. He bent over to speak so tiny Peggy could hear him. (Peggy is Deion’s match in terms of personality. “I thought I was coming for the Swimsuit edition,” she said.)But eventually, this shoot at Folsom Field needed to wrap so Coach Prime could get back to coaching. “We’re doing one more shot,” he sai...

Von der Leyen floats fiscal rule reform as ‘game changer’ for EU defense build-up

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:35:25 GMT

BRUSSELS — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hinted on Thursday that EU countries boosting their defense spending should have that taken into account when calculating whether they are running an excessive deficit.“Our fiscal framework can and should meet two compatible objectives: ensure sustainable public finances, while also supporting member states’ investment efforts in strategic public goods. And this applies also to defense capabilities,” von der Leyen said in a speech at the European Defence Agency. EU rules limit countries to running a budget deficit of 3 percent of GDP, with a public debt ceiling of 60 percent of GDP. But the COVID pandemic followed by the energy emergency is straining public finances at a time when countries are looking to boost their defense spending — potentially falling afoul of the bloc’s rules.“In the [European] Council, there is now broad support to consider increases in defense spending as a relevant factor w...
