(CNN) —  El destino de miles de millones en ayuda para Ucrania sigue en el limbo este lunes por la mañana, incluso cuando se espera que el presidente Volodymyr Zelensky haga una propuesta crucial a los senadores y al presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, Mike Johnson, el martes.Es poco probable que la visita de Zelensky a Washington, la tercera desde que Rusia invadió Ucrania en 2022, cambie una dinámica ya consolidada en Washington, según la cual los republicanos, incluso los que apoyan la financiación adicional para Ucrania, no están dispuestos a hacer más, a menos que los demócratas y la Casa Blanca cedan en cambios políticos importantes en la frontera sur de Estados Unidos.Joe Biden recibirá este martes en la Casa Blanca al presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr ZelenskyEs un momento complicado para la Casa Blanca, que ha defendido una y otra vez que Zelensky y su país se encuentran en un punto de inflexión crítico en su lucha por la democracia. Y, sin embargo, es posible q...

Texas woman who sought court permission for abortion leaves state for the procedure, attorneys say

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:07:50 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A pregnant Texas woman who sought court permission for an abortion in an unprecedented challenge to one of the most restrictive bans in the U.S. has left the state to obtain the procedure, her attorneys said Monday.The announcement came as Kate Cox, 31, was awaiting a ruling from the Texas Supreme Court over whether she could legally obtain an abortion under narrow exceptions to the state’s ban. A judge gave Cox, a mother of two from the Dallas area, permission last week but that decision was put on hold by the state’s all-Republican high court.“Her health is on the line. She’s been in and out of the emergency room and she couldn’t wait any longer,” said Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which was representing Cox.The organization did not disclose where Cox went. On Monday, she was 20 weeks and six days pregnant.Cox was believed to be the first woman in the U.S. to ask a court for permission for an abortion since Roe v. Wade...

‘Mr. Monk’s Last Case’ review: Can germaphobe Adrian Monk function in a COVID world?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:07:50 GMT

Nina Metz | Chicago TribuneRare is the reboot that captures the magic of the original. But sometimes it’s nice to catch up with familiar characters years later, and the TV movie “Mr. Monk’s Last Case” (on Peacock) is one such opportunity, with Tony Shalhoub returning as the obsessive-compulsive crime solver he played on “Monk,” the USA series that ran for eight seasons from 2002 to 2009.Monk’s germaphobia has always been central. So what does his life look like now, amid an ongoing pandemic caused by an airborne virus? Do the ideas behind the character’s idiosyncrasies even work in this new context?In short, no.Creator Andy Breckman does acknowledge Monk’s fixation on hygiene — often met with eyerolls in the series — makes a good deal of sense in light of (gestures broadly) everything. But here’s me, clomping through the pleasant, low-stakes vibes of a brief “Monk” return to point out that the story now also requires you to believe the character would go anywhere post-2020 sans face...

The trick that makes soufflés an easy weeknight meal

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:07:50 GMT

Meredith Deeds | Star Tribune (TNS)Yes, sometimes necessity is the mother of invention, and sometimes mothers are the mother of invention. Such is the case with this Easy Cheddar, Bacon and Scallion Soufflé, a recipe inspired by French chef Jacques Pépin’s mother, who accidentally streamlined one of France’s most iconic dishes.As a young bride who was an inexperienced cook, but fearless in the kitchen, she wanted to make her new husband his favorite dish. And while she didn’t know exactly how a cheese soufflé came together, she did know its basic components were béchamel, cheese and eggs.The traditional version, painstakingly labored over by French chefs in fancy kitchens for a couple hundred years or so, starts with the béchamel, the famous French white sauce, made by cooking flour and butter together, before whisking in milk. A copious amount of cheese (usually Gruyère) is added to the sauce, along with egg yolks, before the mixture is gently folded into perfectl...

What to know about abortion lawsuits being heard in US courts this week

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:07:50 GMT

By GEOFF MULVIHILL (Associated Press)When the U.S. Supreme Court undid the nationwide right to abortion last year, it did not remove the issue from the courts.Instead, it opened a new frontier of litigation, with states passing their own restrictions and opponents challenging them in courts across the country.This week, three state courts are hearing arguments on abortion, including a request in Texas that could establish a new legal approach for women who are seeking immediate access to the procedure because of pregnancy complications.Some things to know about the cases: Most of the lawsuits that have been filed against bans and restrictions are seeking to secure general access to abortion.But last week, a Texas woman pregnant with a terminally ill fetus decided not to wait for those challenges to be resolved. Saying that her condition poses a risk to her health and future fertility, she asked a court for permission to obtain an abortion immediately.Doctors told 31-year-old Kate Co...

Spiced cookies that are perfect for the holidays

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:07:50 GMT

We just had a lovely Thanksgiving, a pie holiday — one of the next holidays, Christmas, is a cookie holiday! I like pie but I love cookies and make them frequently throughout the year, especially at Christmastime. Now with no kids at home, I still make cookies, but I only bake a few at a time. The rest of the batch is rolled into walnut-sized balls and frozen in zip-lock bags. It’s a great way to have some warm homemade cookies in a few minutes; more importantly, though, it keeps me from eating them for breakfast.I missed out on those sugary, butter-filled treats as a kid, growing up with a health-conscious mother. She only baked two kinds of cookies: date bars that we could have used for doorstops and gingerbread men that she made for tree decorations. One year I “accidently” discovered those tree decorations tasted pretty good. As the holiday wore on, I secretly nibbled away at the gingerbread men until most of them were just heads hanging from a green thread. Did anyone else do t...

Along with vaccines, vitamin injections and vitamin IV therapy are among the tools people are turning to this winter to help ward against these hard-hitting viruses and bacteria circulating, which also include strep throat.Kelly Rice, vice president of operations at Healthy Choice Wellness Center, says her company has been hired by several Broward County businesses this winter season, including Ramos’, to give vitamin shots on-site to employees. ...
