Some customers say they've had to wait weeks to get their money.Hedge fund manager and "The Drill Down" business podcast host Cory Johnson joined "NewsNation Now" to discuss the case. Do airline gate agents have an incentive to say your bag is too big? "It's possible here that Apple and Goldman Sachs, their partner, are victims of their own success," he said. "So many people rushed to open up these accounts when they were offered back in the end of April ... transactions at any new account at a bank can sometimes trigger problems when you transfer money."Goldman Sachs, however, told members of the media that "the vast majority of customers see no delays in transferring their funds.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:07:22 GMT

AUSTIN (Nexstar) — After five months of discord and a now a special session, top Republican leaders remain at a tense impasse over how best to lower property taxes.The Texas Legislature, which finished its regular session Monday, already set aside $17.6 billion from the state's budget to give Texans property tax relief. However, ideological differences between the two chambers about how to deliver that stalled lawmakers Monday from adjourning. They inevitably gaveled out that evening sine die, or indefinitely, without a deal. Less than three hours later, Governor Greg Abbott called lawmakers back to the Capitol for a special session with demands for property tax relief and border security bills.The next day, Senators quickly passed a property tax plan that included steps to expand the state's homestead exemption, the amount of a home's value that is exempt from property taxes.

Two-line fishing option comes to Minnesota River starting July 1

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:07:22 GMT

Come July 1, anglers can legally use two lines during the open water season while fishing the Minnesota River downstream of the Granite Falls dam to Pool 2 on the Mississippi River.Gov. Tim Walz signed into law the legislation that opens roughly 250 river miles of the Minnesota River for two-line fishing. Anglers are restricted to one line while fishing all other inland waters except during the ice fishing season, when two lines are allowed.Allowing two lines during the open water season on the Minnesota River below the dam in Granite Falls to Pool 2 on the Mississippi River, which becomes legal on July 1, 2023, will likely have a negligible effect on the fishery, including channel catfish as shown here. (Tom Cherveny / Forum News Service)“I am in celebratory mode since the governor signed it,” said Darren Troseth, of Jordan. He guides on the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers as 3 Rivers Fishing Adventures, and is an avid angler with catch-and-release trophies for flathead catfish an...

And they're still increasing in price, even if that increase has been slowed just a bit too. In fact, some are still selling for slightly more than the list price, and sellers continue to have the upper hand in some markets. Because of the market change, only 43 metros of more than 150 evaluated have homes selling over asking.Stacker analyzed data from Redfin to see which metros had the most homes sold over asking price.

Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray the new Tim Duncan and Tony Parker? Heat’s Kyle Lowry thinks so.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:07:22 GMT

Nikola Jokic has gotten the Tim Duncan comparison before.A reserved, no-nonsense leader more concerned with winning than anything else, Jokic even admitted he’d modeled his game after the legendary Spurs power forward.“He always had a counter, but he was so patient,” Jokic said.Between their shared pace and elite intuition, Jokic is a worthy Duncan disciple.But veteran Heat point guard Kyle Lowry was asked about Denver’s lethal pairing of Jokic and Murray, and whether he’d ever played a combo as connected as those two.“I’m pretty old in this game right now,” Lowry said. “I played Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. Honestly, that’s a great combination that I got the opportunity to play against. Jamal and Jokic, they’re deadly because they both can score, pass the ball. They’re big targets, and they have a great feel for each other.”Heat coach Erik Spoelstra joked he didn’t know where to start with Denver’s two-man dance.“You have two guys that can score 50 in a playo...
