Un hombre de Maryland trabajando como un conductor de entregas de comidas murió tras ser herido mientras intentaba evitar que alguien le robara el auto en Capitol Heights, informó su familia. Aún se investiga cómo exactamente quedó herido.

Some Virginia Democrats say livestreamed sex acts a distraction from election’s real stakes

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:55 GMT

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — More Virginia Democrats on Tuesday cast the controversy surrounding a legislative candidate who livestreamed herself performing sex acts as a distraction from the stakes in this fall’s elections, while stopping short of fully championing her continued campaign.Neither the state party nor the House Democratic caucus has publicly called for Susanna Gibson to end her campaign after it was revealed last week that she had sex with her husband in live videos posted on a pornographic website and asked viewers to pay them money in return for carrying out specific sex acts. But neither group has publicly declared how much support — financial or otherwise — Gibson can expect moving forward. “Our focus is and has always been on flipping the House and taking back the majority. The MAGA Republicans are continuing to try to distract us while working to implement their plan to ban abortion and roll back the rights and freedoms of all Virginians,” House Democratic Caucus ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:55 GMT

An alleged hazing incident has prompted an internal investigation at King Philip Regional High School in Wrentham. The school district sent a letter to parents Tuesday letting them know upperclassmen on the school’s varsity football team had organized boxing matches between 10th grade students while the players were attending Camp Mataponi in Naples, Maine last month.Senior Class President Ian Knott said he’s disappointed to learn of the allegations.“It’s unfortunate to hear,” he said. “This was a very one-off event. Pretty much everyone gets along. I’ve barely heard of any sort of bullying across the school. I was very surprised to hear this.”The letter from the school says no one was hurt and no coaches were present during the boxing matches. The letter continued,” Although there were individual students who took a greater lead in orchestrating the hazing/boxing, there were many people involved and the behavior was so widesprea...

‘It came out of nowhere’: Chicago Cubs president Jed Hoyer laments team’s recent losing skid

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:55 GMT

Halfway across the world, president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer followed the Chicago Cubs’ toughest loss of the season on his phone.Hoyer spent five days in Japan to scout, most notably getting eyes on Orix Buffaloes star right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, 25, who is expected to be posted in the offseason. The overseas trip had been planned for a while so the Cubs can keep an eye on the future as they try to get back into the postseason for the first time since 2020.“It’s a great baseball culture and obviously they have a lot of really good players and making sure that’s a market that we are actively involved in is something that’s really important,” Hoyer said Tuesday.The timing left Hoyer following from the ballpark’s scout seats Sunday morning in Toyko, 16 hours ahead of the Cubs’ 13-inning marathon that culminated in a gut-punching 7-6 walk-off loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.“It was not one of my gold star moments,”...

Fox won this year’s Elevate Prize Catalyst Award, which the “Back to the Future” star plans to use to further his foundation’s work to find treatments for Parkinson’s disease.Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at the age of 29 in 1991, received the award at the Clinton Global Initiative, or CGI, conference on Tuesday in New York.
