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

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:42:29 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...

Target reports better-than-expected 3Q profits but is still wresting with a sales malaise

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:42:29 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...

Populist Javier Milei is rallying for the Argentine presidency with chainsaws and Comic-Con costumes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:42:29 GMT

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Batman and the Joker, a man decked out in a full-body lion costume, and another whose head and arms have been replaced by chainsaws. This isn’t Carnival or Comic-Con, but rather the outlandish campaign rally for Argentine presidential candidate Javier Milei.In just a few short years, the right-wing populist Milei went from being a television talking head who garnered high ratings with his unrestrained outbursts against a “political caste” he blamed for Argentina’s perennial economic woes to a frontrunner for the presidency. He even dabbled in cosplay, dressing up as “General AnCap,” short for anarcho-capitalist, at a 2019 event.Just as his candidacy started as a made-for-television spectacle, his followers picked up the baton and have often turned rallies into opportunities to show their devotion to their candidate using props that go viral on social media.Shortly after he first appeared on television, the self-described libertarian grew a cult-like fo...
