Editor’s Note…Meteorological Intern Tyler Hughes is tonight’s weather blog author. ~JRCongratulations! We’ve almost officially made it to Summer. The not-so-great news, however, is that our gloomy weather pattern is showing no sign of letting up (yup, it’s the intern’s job to relay the bad news). For most of us, today was comfortable and mild aside from the occasional shower, although Western Mass got in on a couple of isolated downpours late this afternoon.Tomorrow looks to be just as comfortable, but without the isolated showers we saw today. Sunshine prevails with highs in the low 70s, but an easterly wind will keep the coast, Cape and islands in the 60s throughout the day. The Summer Solstice is also tomorrow at 10:57am. This means the sun will be at its highest point in the sky in the Northern Hemisphere. The astronomical start to the Summer season, it also marks the longest day of the year for us here in New England. In Boston, we will see o...

Booze, drugs, a pet snake and foreign dealings: Families can cause headaches for a White House

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:52:27 GMT

By SEUNG MIN KIM (The Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden whose plea deal on federal tax and gun charges was made public Tuesday, is by no means the first presidential relative whose personal troubles have brought unwelcome headlines and headaches for a White House. The younger Biden will plead guilty to misdemeanor tax offenses in an agreement that also allows him to avoid full prosecution on a felony charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user, as long as he abides by certain conditions. The deal closes a long-running Justice Department probe into Hunter Biden, long known to struggle with substance abuse. Children of U.S. presidents, like Hunter Biden, have long been subjects of fascination and curiosity, with their every move under public scrutiny.Former President Donald Trump’s son Donald Jr., for one, was in the news for meeting with Russian operatives offering damaging information on Hillary Clinton during the...

DA, ethics panel back judge in Donald Trump hush-money case, finding no evidence of bias

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:52:27 GMT

By MICHAEL R. SISAK (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s tempestuous views aside, Manhattan prosecutors say neither the former president nor his lawyers have shown any evidence to support their claims that the judge in his hush-money criminal case has an anti-Trump bias. They urged him to reject defense demands that he step aside from the case.In court papers made public Tuesday, the Manhattan district attorney’s office defended Judge Juan Manuel Merchan against Trump’s claims that he’s a “Trump-hating judge,” amplifying a court ethics panel’s recent opinion that a judge in his situation wouldn’t have to recuse himself.The opinion, issued May 4 by the state’s Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics, suggests Merchan may have sought the panel’s input as he wrestled with the gravity of his role in the case and nagging concerns that he could be seen as having a bias or conflict of interest. The opinion doesn...
