Lindsey Horan revenge goal helps US eke out draw against Netherlands in Women's World Cup

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:22:46 GMT

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — When the United States was desperate for a spark, Lindsey Horan channeled her anger into a much-needed goal to keep the Americans unbeaten at the Women’s World Cup. Horan was fuming after she was knocked over by Danielle van de Donk in the second half of Thursday's rematch of the 2019 women's final, when the United States beat the Netherlands to win their second consecutive World Cup title. She got her revenge minutes after the tackle in a sequence that included Horan cursing about van de Donk before shoving her, as well. The two trash-talked and were separated by a referee before Horan scored the game-saving goal for the United States. Horan scored on a well-timed header off a corner kick from Rose Lavelle in the 62nd minute to give the Americans the goal they needed to sneak out a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands. The United States remained unbeaten in 19 consecutive matches. “I don’t think you ever want to get me mad because I don’t react in a good way...

US economic growth accelerates to surprising 2.4% in 2nd quarter

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:22:46 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy surprisingly accelerated to a 2.4% annual growth rate from April through June, showing continued resilience in the face of steadily higher interest rates resulting from the Federal Reserve’s 16-month-long fight to bring down inflation.Thursday’s estimate from the Commerce Department indicated that the gross domestic product — the economy’s total output of goods and services — picked up from the 2% growth rate in the January-March quarter. Last quarter's expansion was well above the 1.5% annual rate that economists had forecast.Driving the gain was a burst of business investment, which surged at a 5.7% annual pace, the fastest rate since late 2021. Companies plowed more money into factories and equipment. Increased spending by state and local governments also helped fuel growth in the April-June quarter.Consumer spending, though, slowed to a 1.6% annual rate, from a 4.2% pace in the first quarter of the year, a likely consequence of higher borrowing...

Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), who reintroduced the bill last month with Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), confirmed in a statement. The bill would require financial institutions with assets of more than $100 billion to enable at least two network options for processing credit card transactions.At least one of those networks must be an option other than Visa or Mastercard, which control a combined 80 percent of the credit card network market in the U.S.  5 takeaways as the Fed reignites its inflation fight The National Retail Federation (NRF), one of the majo...

LUBBOCK, Texas (The Texas Tribune) -- When Texas was awarded $3.3 billion in federal money last month toward expanding broadband infrastructure across the state, government leaders and telecommunication companies celebrated the news.With more than 7 million residents disconnected from the rest of the World Wide Web, Texas’ broadband needs were no secret.
