(The Hill) - The Manhattan District Attorney's history-making decision to indict former President Trump last week only marks the first possible charges against Trump, who faces myriad ongoing legal challenges. Since leaving the White House, Trump has been in the center of legal cases related to his time in office, his actions after leaving office, and his business dealings. Last Thursday, he became the first president — current or former — to be indicted on criminal charges, in relation to his alleged involvement in a hush-money payment made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair. Though the exact charges Trump is facing in Manhattan will remain under seal until his arraignment on Tuesday, legal experts have said the case pales in comparison to the other legal challenges the former president is facing. Here's where those other cases stand ahead of his arraignment. Georgia probe into election interferenceFulton County District Attorney Fani Willis opened...

Here’s why this is one of the worst times to buy a car in decades

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:13:59 GMT

By Christopher Hickey and Alex Leeds Matthews | CNNIt has almost never been as hard to buy a new or used car in the United States as it is today, despite improving supply issues and inflation beginning to steady.Vehicle transaction prices — the price you actually end up paying after any dealer discounts or markups — have been climbing higher and faster since 2020 than any other point in more than 35 years, according to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.The consumer price indexes for both new and used cars — the average changes in vehicle transaction price over time — are much higher than they were four years ago in 2019.There is a silver lining. BLS data shows inflation for used cars has been cooling down just as dramatically since December 2022 as it increased in the months before that. But used cars have a long way to go before approaching 2019 sales prices and new car prices have yet to slow down.The average transaction price of a new car has jumped nearly $12,000 i...

Salmon viewing area a jumping off point in many directions for a Marin County hike

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:13:59 GMT

The Leo Cronin Fish Viewing area near Samuel Taylor State Park in Lagunitas is a popular spot to try to spot spawning salmon, which means a crowded parking lot on weekends. But if you can get there before the crowds or after they’ve thinned, it’s also a great jumping off point for several hikes into the redwoods and beyond.Just across Sir Francis Drake is the Cross Marin Trail, which takes users across the bridge over Inkwells and onto the flat, usually roomy path into the park. It’s possible to do about 11 miles in total if you take the trail past the campgrounds to most distant turnaround point. For a shorter journey, you can turn around at the bridge in the park that leads to the picnic area for a total four-mile round trip.Related ArticlesLifestyle | 5 great places to see California’s wildflower season, possibly the best in 20 years Lifestyle | Marin waterfalls draw visitors following historic rains Lifestyle | Lawsuit: Plans for ...
