Proud Boys leader Ethan Nordean gets 18 years in prison, tying for longest sentence in Jan. 6 attack

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:55:19 GMT

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — A one-time leader in the Proud Boys far-right extremist group has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, tying the record for the longest sentence in the attack.Ethan Nordean was “the undisputed leader on the ground on Jan 6,” said prosecutor Jason McCullough. Prosecutors had asked the judge to sentence the Seattle-area chapter president to 27 years.Nordean was one of several members convicted of spearheading an attack on the Capitol to try to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden after the 2020 presidential election. He was convicted of seditious conspiracy and other serious charges.Defense attorneys pushed back against the idea that Nordean was more responsible for the attack than others and denied that there was any plan to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6.The highest-profile Proud Boys member convicted after that monthslong tr...

Federal judge dismisses Florida lawsuit seeking to have Trump declared ineligible for presidency

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:55:19 GMT

A South Florida federal judge quickly dismissed a lawsuit against Donald Trump that sought to have the former president declared ineligible for another term as president.U.S. District Judge Robin L. Rosenberg ruled that plaintiff Lawrence Caplan, and two other plaintiffs he added to his original lawsuit against Trump, lacked the legal standing to bring the case.“Plaintiffs in this case similarly lack standing and, thus, this court lacks jurisdiction. Accordingly, the court exercises its discretion under the Declaratory Judgment Act, along with its obligation to examine its own jurisdiction, to dismiss this case,” she wrote in an order signed Thursday in West Palm Beach — exactly one week after Caplan filed his case.Caplan said Friday he had “only looked at her opinion very quickly,” and he needed to examine it more closely.“As far as her dismissal, I’m not surprised at all because I always thought that standing would be the preeminent issue,” Caplan said.He said he did not plan to a...

Lucas: Vivek juices up GOP

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:55:19 GMT

Don’t be surprised if Vivek shows up at the next GOP presidential debate wearing a Donald Trump mugshot T-shirt.If the 38-year-old surprise candidate of the year could perform Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” rap song at the Iowa State Fair, then anything is possible.It is safe to say that no other candidate running could rap as well.Vivek Ramaswamy has the political world talking, not only because of his audacity to compete against a stage full of political pros, but to do so while praising Trump, whom he considers a mentor.They all, to one degree of another, are running against Trump. Vivek seems to be running with him.And if the Milwaukee debate hosted by Fox News was intended to be a job interview to be Trump’s 2024 running mate, then Vivek scored well. With Trump a no show, Vivek was able to become his stand in and a center of attention.Trump even raved about his Vivek’s performance.If by some miracle Vivek did become president, one of the first things he would do is pardon Trump, who ...

S&P/TSX composite gains as investors increasingly bet end of rate hikes is near

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:55:19 GMT

TORONTO — Canada’s main stock index gained more than one per cent Friday on broad-based strength after the latest GDP report helped bolster hopes that the Bank of Canada could be done hiking interest rates, while U.S. markets were mixed. It’s not every day that Toronto markets diverge so much from the U.S., which tends to set the tone, said Allan Small, senior investment adviser at iA Private Wealth. But usually, it’s because of the way the TSX is weighted compared with U.S. indexes. “It’s one of those days where what is trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange is working,” said Small.The S&P/TSX composite index was up 252.74 points at 20,545.36, a strong start to September after a choppy August. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 115.80 points at 34,837.71. The S&P 500 index was up 8.11 points at 4,515.77, while the Nasdaq composite was down 3.15 points at 14,031.81.Gains in energy stocks were a big part of the market strength north of the border,...

Stock market today: Wall Street edges higher following data that shows the labor market is cooling

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:55:19 GMT

NEW YORK — A choppy day of trading on Wall Street ended Friday with slight gains for stocks, as the market notched its second straight winning week.The market got a boost early on from a closely watched government report that showed U.S. job growth increased at a healthy, but more moderate pace last month. The report supports investors’ hopes that the Federal Reserve will hold off on raising interest rates again in its bid to lower inflation. After initially rising as much as 0.8% following the release of the jobs report, the major indexes shed most of their gains and spent the day wavering between small gains and losses. The S&P 500 finished 0.2% higher. The benchmark index was coming off its first monthly loss since February. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.3% and the Nasdaq composite closed less than 0.1% lower. Still, that slight dip broke its five-day winning streak.The Labor Department reported Friday that employers added a solid 187,000 jobs in August. The job gro...
