Fitch downgrades US debt on debt ceiling drama and Jan. 6 insurrection

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:03:57 GMT

(CNN) — Fitch Ratings downgraded its US debt rating on Tuesday from the highest AAA rating to AA+, citing “a steady deterioration in standards of governance.”The downgrade comes after lawmakers negotiated up until the last minute on a debt ceiling deal earlier this year, risking the nation’s first default. But the January 6 insurrection was also a major contributing factor.In a meeting with Biden administration officials, representatives from Fitch Ratings repeatedly highlighted the January 6th insurrection as a significant concern as it relates to US governance, a person familiar with the matter told CNN. The credit agency did not mention the insurrection in their full report on the downgrade.Fitch did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.US debt has long been considered the safest of safe havens, but Tuesday’s rating cut suggests it has lost some of its luster. The downgrade has potential reverberations on everything from the mortgage rates Amer...

He played the outfield Saturday and had a scheduled day off Sunday.“He’s doing pretty well,” Boone said Tuesday. “He’s dealing with some soreness and stuff, but good enough to play. … Try and monitor it the best we can and hopefully through it he continues to get better. That’s the hope, that continued healing goes along with it.”Judge suffered a torn ligament in his right big toe after a running catch on June 3 took him into the Dodger Stadium right field wall.He appeared affected by the toe as he ran from first base to third base on an Anthony Rizzo s...

Trump allies in Michigan charged with felonies involving voting machines, illegal ‘testing’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:03:57 GMT

By JOEY CAPPELLETTI (Associated Press)LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Two Michigan allies of former President Donald Trump, including a former Republican state attorney general candidate, were charged in connection with an effort to illegally access and tamper with voting machines in the state after the 2020 election, prosecutors announced Tuesday.Attorney Matthew DePerno was charged with undue possession of a voting machine and conspiracy, while Daire Rendon, a former Republican state representative, was charged with conspiracy to commit undue possession of a voting machine and false pretenses, special prosecutor D.J. Hilson announced in a news release. Both were arraigned Tuesday afternoon, according to Richard Lynch, the court administrator for Oakland County’s 6th Circuit. Michigan is just one of at least three states where prosecutors say people breached election systems while embracing and spreading Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen.DePerno, who was endorse...

Luis Urias acquisition the lone Red Sox move at MLB trade deadline

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:03:57 GMT

After weeks of speculation as to whether they’d buy or sell, Major League Baseball’s annual midsummer trade deadline almost passed the Red Sox by entirely.Never truly linked to any trade targets, the club was radio silent right up to Tuesday’s 6 p.m. cutoff. Only minutes after did the news break that they’d acquired infielder Luis Urias from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for 22-year-old minor league right-hander Bradley Blalock.The trade is far from a deadline splash; like most moves of the Chaim Bloom era, the key qualities of this buzzer beater transaction are depth and club control. In his arbitration eligibility years, Urias is an affordable infield option now and down the road; his total salary for the season is $4.7 million, and he won’t reach free agency until 2026.Urias debuted with the San Diego Padres in 2018, and they traded him to the Brewers in November 2019. Defensively, he’s played between 130-183 regular-season games each at second, third, and s...

Orioles reportedly acquire pitcher Jack Flaherty from Cardinals, fortifying rotation at MLB trade deadline

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:03:57 GMT

The Orioles hoped to use the trade deadline to upgrade their starting rotation. As the time ticked away for them to do so, they made their move.Minutes before Tuesday’s MLB trade deadline, Baltimore reportedly acquired right-hander Jack Flaherty, a pending free agent, from the St. Louis Cardinals for Triple-A Norfolk infielder César Prieto and left-hander Drew Rom and Low-A Delmarva right-hander Zack Showalter, the organization’s Nos. 13, 15 and 16 prospects according to Baseball America.In 20 starts with the Cardinals, the 27-year-old Flaherty had a 4.43 ERA, only a tick better than the 4.48 mark Baltimore’s starters have collectively posted through Monday. He’s coming off a strong July, however, recording a 3.03 ERA in five starts and pitching at least six innings in four of them.Flaherty looked like a future star in 2019, when as a 23-year-old he finished fourth in National League Cy Young Award voting thanks to a 2.75 ERA and NL-best 0.968 WHIP.
