The anemia and its symptoms went away, and I returned to my normal self.I was sure my wife would reconcile with our family after my diagnosis, but instead she said I was using the illness as an excuse for my behavior.

A key US spy tool will lapse at year’s end unless Congress and the White House can cut a deal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:40:34 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — With just seven weeks until the end of the year, the Biden administration is running out of time to win the reauthorization of a spy program it says is vital to preventing terrorism, catching spies and disrupting cyberattacks. The tool, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, will expire at the end of December unless the White House and Congress can cut a deal and resolve an unusually vexing debate that has yielded unlikely alliances at the intersection of privacy and national security. Without the program, administration officials warn, the government won’t be able to collect crucial intelligence overseas. But civil liberties advocates from across the political spectrum say the law as it stands now infringes on the privacy of ordinary Americans and insist that changes are needed before the program is reauthorized.“Renewing this law before it expires is among the most consequential national security decisions we face as a country,” Assistant...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:40:34 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Target on Wednesday reported better-than-expected profits in its third quarter, benefiting from its efforts to hold down costs. Revenue slipped more than 4%, however, with customers absorbing higher costs from inflation as the holiday shopping season nears. The Minneapolis retailer has been trying to right itself after loading up with too much inventory last summer. And now, a surge in prices for everything from food to gasoline, although easing, is taking a bigger chunk out of shoppers’ paychecks.“It’s clear that consumers have been remarkably resilient,” CEO Brian Cornell told reporters Tuesday. “Yet in our research, things like uncertainty, caution and managing a budget are top of mind.”Target reported third-quarter profit of $971 million, or $2.10 per share. That compares with $712 million, or $1.54 per share, in the year-ago period. Revenue fell 4.2% to $25.4 billion from $26.52 billion in the year-ago period.Analysts were expecting a profit of...
