Texas high school postpones ceremony after only 5 seniors met graduation requirements

A Texas high school had to postpone its graduation after only a few of their seniors met graduation requirements. While preparing for the ceremony, students at Marlin High School received a disappointing announcement on Wednesday that their graduation would be rescheduled for June. The school district announced the sudden change in a statement posted to Facebook along with calling for a mandatory meeting for senior parents that same night.

Guatemalan high court blocks presidential frontrunner's candidacy

Guatemala’s top court blocked the candidacy of another presidential hopeful on Friday, this time ending the campaign of poll leader Carlos Pineda for alleged violations of electoral law. The Constitutional Court rejected Pineda’s appeal after electoral authorities had ruled him ineligible only a month before the first round of voting June 25. "The Constitutional Court has put an end to this country’s democracy," Pineda told the AP in a phone interview. GUATEMALAN PROSECUTOR EYES STRIPPING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF LEGAL IMMUNITY "The co-optation of the state prevailed, the rein of corruption and the dictatorship," Pineda said. "It’s incredible. I feel like dead." Pineda said his final hope rests with the people of Guatemala, that the majority would cast a null vote and that new elections would be held. Pineda is the third presidential candidate ruled ineligible to run. The court rejected the final appeals of candidate Roberto Arzú on Thursday, and p...

Germany denies chancellor's criticism of climate protestors incited raids

A German government spokesperson on Friday rejected the notion that comments by Chancellor Olaf Scholz criticizing climate activists might have prompted raids against them this week. Police on Wednesday searched more than a dozen properties across Germany linked to the group Last Generation, seizing assets as part of a probe into its finances. Prosecutors in Munich said they are investigating whether the group constitutes a criminal organization after its repeated road blockades and other protests drew numerous complaints from the public. Days before the raids, Scholz said he thought it was "completely nutty to somehow stick yourself to a painting or on the street." LEFT-WING GERMAN CHANCELLOR SLAMS 'NUTTY' CLIMATE PROTESTERS BLOCKING STREETS, DEFACING ART Members of Last Generation have hit back, describing the raids as a blow to democracy and accusing Scholz of belittling young people's fears about global warming .

White House Correspondents' Association slams Biden admin for not holding briefings as default deadline looms

The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) is calling out the Biden administration for stalling press briefings ahead of Memorial Day weekend as the country's default deadline looms.  As President Biden and lawmakers are set to leave town amid tense negotiations, WHCA President and NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith revealed the organization's own talks with the White House about holding briefings on Friday and over the weekend were unsuccessful.  "The WHCA board pushed hard for the White House to hold a briefing on Friday or potentially over the weekend given intense interest in the high stakes debt ceiling negotiations and the risk that the US economy could go over a cliff," Keith wrote in a statement to Fox News. "The White House was not persuaded by our argument that the public deserves to see them answer questions. Monday is a federal holiday, which means there could be four days in the midst of a political crisis, without a briefing....
