SAN FRANCISCO - The St. Louis Cardinals have optioned rookie outfielder Jordan Walker to Triple-A Memphis, less than a month after his MLB debut. Walker had been held out of the lineup in three of the past four games, and five times in the Cardinals' last 11 games. Before that, he had started 13 consecutive contests and opened his MLB career on a historic 12-game hitting streak. Though some rest always seemed inevitable on a crowded Cardinals roster, Walker's absences from starting lineups have mounted in recent weeks. The Cardinals, searching for answers to one of their slowest starts in nearly half a century, have shuffled lineups on a near-daily basis. St. Louis has also dropped its last four without the 20-year-old rookie in the starting lineup, leaving many fans wondering whether there's something more behind the decision.

By LISA MASCARO and KEVIN FREKING (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans passed sweeping legislation Wednesday that would raise the government’s legal debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion in exchange for steep spending restrictions, a tactical victory for Speaker Kevin McCarthy as he challenges President Joe Biden to negotiate and prevent a catastrophic federal default this summer.The bill passed by a razor-thin 217-215 margin.Biden has threatened to veto the Republican package, which has almost no chance of passing the Democratic Senate in the meantime, and the president has so far refused to negotiate over the debt ceiling which the White House insists must be lifted with no strings to ensure America pays its bills.But McCarthy’s ability to unite his slim majority and bring the measure to passage over opposition from Democrats and even holdouts in his own party gives currency to the Republican speaker’s strategy to use the vote as an opening bid for...The way of Ukraine to systemic reforms

The official logo of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of UkraineSince the Russian Federation’s aggression in 2014, the United States and European countries have constantly supported Ukraine. The European Union has allocated money for different programs, starting from social programs, education, healthcare, energy efficiency, environmental protection, and other programs. After the Russian full-scale invasion in 2022, the aid from European Union significantly increased. One of the conditions of the European aid’s continuation includes reforms, particularly anti-corruption reforms. During the 24th Ukraine-EU summit in February 2023, the European Council and the European Commission admitted the fight against corruption and particularly welcomed the progress in ensuring the independent and effective work of anti-corruption institutions. However, people in Ukraine and Western countries sometimes wonder whether this fight is truly effective.How much money does the EU give Ukraine?Since ...Clippers' Kawhi Leonard has a torn meniscus: report
