(CNN) — Esto sencillamente no ocurre en la Rusia de Vladimir Putin. Sobre todo en público.El presidente se enfrenta a la amenaza más grave a su control del poder en los 23 años que lleva dirigiendo el Estado nuclear. Y es asombroso ver cómo se desmorona de la noche a la mañana la apariencia de control total que ha mantenido todo ese tiempo, el punto de venta definitivo de su autocracia.Por qué Rusia investiga al jefe del grupo Wagner, Yevgeny PrigozhinEra a la vez inevitable e imposible. Inevitable, ya que la mala gestión de la guerra había significado que solo un sistema tan homogéneamente cerrado e inmune a la crítica como el Kremlin podría sobrevivir a una desventura tan atroz. E imposible, ya que los críticos de Putin simplemente desaparecen, o caen por las ventanas, o son envenenados salvajemente. Sin embargo, ahora el quinto ejército más grande del mundo se enfrenta a un fin de semana en el que el fratricidio —el vuelco de las armas sobre sus compañeros soldados— es lo ú...

Logan Gillaspie doesn’t hang his clothes up.He figures, what’s the point? As one of several players who bounce back and forth from the Orioles and their Triple-A team, the relief pitcher has decided to live as a nomad.“I live out of my suitcase,” Gillaspie said. “If I wear something and it’s dirty, I put it in the laundry. I’ll wash it and then put it back in my suitcase because I already know I’ll be up and down and up and down.”The chaotic lifestyle is one that Gillaspie, a relief pitcher with Baltimore for the third time this season, has gotten used to. In addition to Gillaspie, the Orioles have three players on their 26-man roster who have frequented the shuttle, including infielder Joey Ortiz and catcher Anthony Bemboom.“I think as well as you possibly can,” manager Brandon Hyde said when asked how those players have handled that role. “It’s definitely not easy.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:15:23 GMT

Victims of the 9/11 terror attacks are still dying — from cancer.“We estimate 125,000 people are sick,” said Dan Hansen, a toxic exposure attorney. “How do you forget 9/11 when you get a call from your doctor saying you have prostate, testicular, or male breast cancer?”That’s why the PGA’s shocking marriage with Saudi-backed LIV Golf is infuriating not only 9/11 loved ones but those hero police, firefighters, EMTs, Salvation Army volunteers and so many more who raced to Ground Zero after the Sept. 11, 2001, attack to help.A Senate investigative subcommittee chaired by U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., is calling both the PGA and Liv Golf honchos before the committee on July 11, according to NBC News, to question them about the deal. The Justice Department is also looking into the merger over antitrust concerns, the Wall Street Journal reported.Hansen said Friday the “PGA selling out and saying 9/11 is behind us” is “si...
