U.S. investigators have examined whether the man charged with leaking a trove of classified documents interacted with anyone from a foreign country or government before posting it online, according to three people familiar with the probe.There is no clear public evidence that Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, held such connections or was a part of an organized foreign operation, as some U.S. and Ukrainian officials have suggested.But the Biden administration and law enforcement agencies have looked for any contact he had with foreigners as part of a wider investigation into the motivations and intent behind his alleged leaking of the classified information, the people said. They, like others in this story, were granted anonymity to speak freely about an ongoing investigation.“We still don’t know who this guy was talking to outside of the Discord server and if he had any other intention for leaking the documents beyond wanting to impress fri...

Briefly Damp, Dry Again

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:35:55 GMT

Even tho we had quite a cloudy, cool, raw, drizzly day still a great Patriot’s Day/Marathon Monday. I’m sure the runners would much prefer today’s weather over the record heat we had last week! As for the rain, it was caused by an area of Low Pressure way out west in Michigan but was/is able to exert its influence on our weather with the clouds, drizzle and fog. Even tho it appeared to rain the entire day, most towns only picked up around 0.10″ of rain or less!When you look at the month of April, 7 of the 17 days have featured some sort of rain occurring (rain, drizzle, mist)But when you take a closer look at those “green squares”, days with rain, you see this…Not much meaningful rainfall so far this month. Moving forward, I think we are dry for the rest of the week until perhaps Sunday. Tomorrow is brighter than today but not a brilliant sunshine-y day either…We’ll start with sunshine during the early morning hours and then see ...

By MARGARET STAFFORD and JIM SALTER (Associated Press)KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — An 85-year-old white man who shot a Black teen at his front door in Kansas City, Missouri, last week has been charged with armed assault, and the Clay County prosecutor said Monday there was a racial component to the case.Prosecuting Attorney Zachary Thompson said at a news conference that Andrew Lester shot 16-year-old Ralph Yarl, who is recovering at home after being released from the hospital on Sunday.When asked if anything was said between Lester and Yarl that made Thompson believe the shooting was racially motivated, Thompson said nothing like that is indicated in charging documents.“We understand how frustrating this has been but I can assure the criminal justice system is working and will continue to work,” Thompson said at a news conference.Yarl was supposed to pick up his two younger brothers last week when he approached the wrong house.

Republicans dig in on debt concessions, Democrats point to Trump precedents

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:35:55 GMT

Congressional lawmakers have set themselves on a collision course over the debt ceiling after the Republican Speaker of the House said an increase without cuts won’t fly only to have House Democrats demand an end to what they’re calling  political theater.“Once again, Speaker McCarthy and the GOP are choosing Wall Street over Main Street and hard-working families. Make no mistake: the recklessness on display today directly endangers the financial security of the American people,” House Minority Whip Katherine Clark said in a Monday statement.The Revere Democrat, the second ranking liberal in the House, was responding to a morning assertion by California Rep. Kevin McCarthy in which the Bakersfield Republican said conservatives controlling the lower chamber would not raise the debt ceiling without also attempting to address other concerns.“In the coming weeks, the House will vote on a bill to lift the debt ceiling into the next year, save taxpayers trillions of dollars, make us less ...

Watchdogs, progressives at odds over tax cut plans

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:35:55 GMT

The state’s fiscal watch dogs mostly responded to proposals from the House and governor to lower taxes with cautious optimism, setting them at odds with the chagrin displayed by progressive members of state leadership’s own party.“Lawmakers should support Gov. Healey’s proposals to reduce the short-term capital gains tax rate and raise the level at which the estate tax kicks in,” Eileen McAnneny, a senior fellow in economic opportunity at Pioneer Institute in Boston wrote in a Monday op-ed published in the Boston Business journal.Gov. Maura Healey, at the end of February, offered a plan to cut about $750 million in revenue from the state’s coffers in 2024 and nearly $1 billion after that by giving renters, seniors, and parents significant tax breaks. She also proposed a cut to the short term capital gains tax and the estate tax, both of which were also offered by her predecessor last year.Lawmakers in the House and Senate were not inclined to include former Gov. Charlie Baker’s capi...
