ANÁLISIS | El dominio de Trump en el Partido Republicano hace que Estados Unidos se prepare para una campaña tóxica

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:11:33 GMT

(CNN) — Mientras Estados Unidos celebraba su independencia, al tiempo que se dividía sobre la verdadera naturaleza de sus valores, también se preparaba para una campaña presidencial tóxica que probablemente ahondará su trauma político y volverá a poner al sistema electoral al límite.Donald Trump, por ejemplo, hizo una demostración de fuerza el fin de semana del 4 de julio, destacando su temprano dominio de la carrera republicana por la presidencia y la dura tarea a la que se enfrentan sus rivales para intentar frustrar su intento de ganar la nominación de su partido por tercera vez consecutiva.El sábado, el ex comandante en jefe atrajo a una multitud en un mitin en el estado clave de Carolina del Sur, que resonó con sus falsas afirmaciones sobre la interferencia electoral y sobre su acusación por presunto manejo indebido de documentos clasificados después de dejar el cargo. Pero el estridente acto en Pickens también demostró el poder duradero de su personalidad y su salvaje at...

Tick diseases on the rise in Colorado, what to watch out for

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:11:33 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — An increase in tick diseases that aren’t typically found in Colorado is concerning doctors at American Family Care.Some call it a triple tick threat that includes a rare illness that just killed a man in Maine.With all this wet weather in the metro area, doctors said that tick diseases that are not typically in Colorado are finding their way here and could be deadly. There are three diseases that experts said you should be looking out for, Lyme disease, Powassan virus and babesiosis. “Now, those three traditionally are not even located here in Colorado. They're located in other parts of the country. However, with as much traveling as everybody does, with pets and other animals coming from other states into Colorado for rescues or for other reasons, these ticks can hitchhike to Colorado,” said Michelle Eason-Delhougne with Amerian Family Care. “We may see that as the local conditions change, the climate changes, these ticks may start finding a home in Colorado."

SUMMER SCORCHER

Happy Wednesday, South Florida!Hopefully everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday! South Florida saw another steamy afternoon with high temperatures reaching into the mid 90s on Tuesday. And while a few sea breeze driven thunderstorms developed in the afternoon, most showers and thunderstorms were out of our area before evening even arrived. This left great conditions for fireworks Tuesday evening! This morning, South Florida woke up to quiet conditions as the nearest shower or thunderstorm was well offshore, however, temperatures were very warm in the mid to lower 80s. Feels like temperatures were already in the 90s across the Florida Keys!Today South Florida can expect more heat and humidity in the mix. An onshore flow (a wind off the water) will continue to usher in higher moisture, which will make temperatures feel warmer than the actual air temperature.  A few sea breeze driven thunderstorms return to the forecast today before eventually pushing farther inland away from our me...
