A Michigan judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump will remain on the state’s primary ballot. Court of Claims Judge James Robert Redford said in an order released Tuesday that Trump has followed state procedure to qualify for the ballot and that a clause in the Constitution can’t be used to disqualify him. Activists had sued to force Michigan’s secretary of state to bar Trump from the ballot. They pointed to a section of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment that prohibits a person from...

PARIS (AP) — Does Paris have too many SUVs? The mayor is putting that question to voters in the runup to next year’s Olympic Games, the latest salvo in her long-running campaign to make the city more friendly to pedestrians and the planet, and less friendly to cars.

The Michigan Legislature adjourned nearly a month earlier than usual on Tuesday after Democrats lost a majority in the state House due to two state representatives winning mayoral races last week. The decision to adjourn early leaves key legislation on the table for next year, including paid leave, prescription drug affordability and higher auto insurance reimbursement rates. Democrats were also forced to end early to ensure a law would take effect in time to make Michigan the fifth state to hold its presidential primary on Feb. Читать дальше...

Airbnb “horror stories” are a genre unto themselves. Guests often share upsetting short-term rental experiences on social media, offering cautionary tales for what to avoid. Many problems, such as unclean properties or misleading photos, can be avoided by booking properties with several positive reviews. Other disasters can be less predictable, but having a backup plan can help. And communicating with hosts beforehand can gauge their communication style and help get on the same page about what to expect (and what not to).

Stocks are leaping after a report on U.S. inflation sent waves of relief through Wall Street. The S&P 500 was 1.6% higher Tuesday and near its best level in two months. The Dow rose 397 points, and the Nasdaq composite rose 2.1%. The highly anticipated report showed inflation slowed last month, bolstering bets among traders that the Federal Reserve is finally done with its market-crunching hikes to interest rates. Technology and other high-growth stocks led the way higher. Stocks of smaller companies... Читать дальше...

The Republican Party’s once-crowded 2024 presidential primary field has suddenly shrunk to just a handful of viable candidates, but it's unclear if the GOP is any closer to coalescing behind a clear alternative to former President Donald Trump. A day after South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott stunned many of his own staff by suspending his campaign, the fight between Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis for a distant second place appears to be intensifying. And some lower-tier candidates insist on battling for relevance... Читать дальше...

Home Depot is continuing to see its sales decline amid inflation concerns, and the home improvement retailer narrowed its fiscal 2023 outlook. But its quarterly performance came in above Wall Street’s expectations. Home Depot Inc. said Tuesday that its third-quarter revenue fell 3% to $37.71 billion. Still, it managed to beat the $37.52 billion that analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research predicted.

Authorities say a small plane overshot the runway while trying to land at a Texas airport and struck a car that was driving along a nearby road, injuring one person. Video shows the propeller plane smashed through a fence during the emergency landing in the Dallas suburb of McKinney on Saturday. It then bounced, skidded onto the road and collided with a silver sedan that was driving perpendicular to the single-engine plane’s path. Jack Schneider, a bystander who recorded footage of the crash on his phone... Читать дальше...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom says arson caused a massive fire that has indefinitely closed a vital section of a freeway in Los Angeles. The fire erupted Saturday in two storage lots under Interstate 10. Engineers were assessing the situation Monday. The freeway is used by 300,000 vehicles daily and the closure is expected to be felt well beyond the city, including possibly slowing the transport of goods from the twin ports of LA and Long Beach, federal officials have said. The ports are among the... Читать дальше...

Error-ridden state reviews have purged millions of the poorest Americans from the Medicaid program in recent months. Now, poverty experts are questioning if the Biden administration is doing enough to stop states from wrongly removing people from the government health care program. Estimates show as many as 30 million people could be dropped from Medicaid at some point as states finish reviewing their Medicaid rolls over the next year. Advocates interviewed around the country say problems with the government forms... Читать дальше...

The Bellagio fountains on the Las Vegas Strip won't be very visible. No gondolas will be in the Venetian resort canal. And the views of the roadway from beneath the glittering casino marquees will be limited as Formula One comes to town this week. Organizers, local officials and hotel operators believe disruptions and discomforts will be forgotten amid a spectacle they hope will put Las Vegas next to Monaco on the list of host cities for Grand Prix events around the world. They expect the races Thursday... Читать дальше...

The last time Congress tried to fund the government to prevent a federal shutdown, it cost House Speaker Kevin McCarthy his job. This time, new Speaker Mike Johnson appears on track for a better outcome. On Tuesday, the House is expected to vote on another stopgap package to keep the government running. If approved, the Senate would act next, ahead of Friday’s shutdown deadline. Johnson is facing the same political problem that led to McCarthy’s ouster as hard-right conservatives revolt. But he seems to be benefiting from a political honeymoon.

Inflation in the United States likely remained high last month, a trend that if sustained could raise concerns at the Federal Reserve, which is considering whether to raise interest rates again. Still, cheaper gas might have slowed a broad measure of overall inflation in October. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, core inflation is forecast to have risen 0.3% from September to October for a third straight month. Monthly increases at that pace would be too high to meet the Fed’s 2% annual inflation target. Читать дальше...
