BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts Air National Guardsman accused in the leak of highly classified military documents appeared in court Friday as prosecutors unsealed charges and revealed how billing records and interviews with social media comrades helped pinpoint the suspect.Among the revelations: That the platform Discord provided information that helped lead the FBI to guardsman Jack Teixeira, and that Teixeira used his government computer to search for the word “leak” on the day last week when news media reports revealed that classified documents had been improperly disclosed.President Joe Biden said the government was working to determine “the validity” of the leaked documents. In the meantime, he said in a White House statement, “I have directed our military and intelligence community to take steps to further secure and limit distribution of sensitive information, and our national security team is closely coordinating with our partners and allies.”Fri...

Twins’ late rally overshadows Anthony Volpe’s first homer as Yankees drop second straight

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:00 GMT

Friday night began with two bangs for the Yankees, yet the Twins still improved to 2-0 this series a night after thrashing the Bombers on their home turf.Things fell apart for the Yankees in the eighth inning when Aaron Boone brought in Clay Holmes, typically the Yankees’ closer, to face Twins No. 9 hitter Michael A. Taylor and the top of Minnesota’s lineup. The Yankees held a 3-2 lead at the time, but that didn’t last long.Taylor singled to right after four pitches, while leadoff man Byron Buxton needed six to walk. Carlos Correa then responded to his customary Bronx cheers by lacing a double on the ground to right, which scored the two speedy outfielders on the basepaths. Just like that, the Twins took a 4-3 lead that they never relinquished. It was the second time in as many days that the Yankees’ longtime doormat defeated them after Minnesota cruised to an 11-2 win on Thursday night.While the Yankees did not get the result they wanted from Holmes in the e...

Winderman’s view: Any Heat chance now against the Bucks . . . to win a game? (But, hey, they had themselves a night)

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:00 GMT

Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 102-91 NBA play-in victory over the Chicago Bulls:– This is what should have happened Tuesday night.– Take care of business and move on.– But never easy for the Heat this season.– So even this still was harrowing.– And then some.– And, so, instead of No. 2 Boston in the first round and the resumption of a rivalry very much fresh in the Celtics’ mind, the No. 1 Bucks, whose last playoff memory of the Heat was wiping them off the court in a 2021 first-round sweep.– And, so, the question becomes whether the Heat can win.– Not the series.– But a game.– Because the level of play will have to be significantly higher than what the Heat showed Tuesday against the Hawks or even Friday against the Bulls.– Basically, the Heat would have to pitch a perfect game against the Bucks, even with Khris Middleton somewhat ailing.– Especially with Kyle Lowry ag...

Butler, Strus push Heat into playoffs in harrowing 102-91 comeback against Bulls

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:00 GMT

There will be playoffs instead of lottery for the Miami Heat, as they punched their ticket into the fist round with a 102-91 victory Friday night over the Chicago Bulls at the Kasaya Center.The payoff? A best-of-seven first-round series against the Eastern Conference No. 1-seeded Milwaukee Bucks for Erik Spoelstra’s team, starting Sunday at Fiserv Forum.As has been typical, the Heat did it the hard way, blowing an early 14-point lead and then 10-point third-quarter lead.But from six down in the fourth, Jimmy Butler helped save the day, with some of his postseason best on a night that started with decidedly less than his postseason best.With Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro off with their offense, and Kyle Lowry forced to sit by recurring knee pain, the Heat found themselves in another clutch game, this time with everything at stake in the winner-take-all game in the play-in round.And they seized the moment.So on to the playoffs for the Heat, end of season for the Bulls.Butler, on a...

Column: An injury-marred start for the Chicago White Sox seems like a rerun, but Rick Hahn has no worries

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:00 GMT

Eloy Jiménez was back in the Chicago White Sox lineup as the designated hitter Friday, returning from a hamstring injury that caused more anguish on the South Side than a block full of potholes.Jiménez was looking forward to putting his injury-plagued past in the rearview mirror, but but suffered his first injury during the home opener April 3. His return provided him with a do-over of sorts, a fresh start for a Sox slugger with unlimited potential that has yet to be fully tapped.“Kind of a little bit,” he said. “Right now I feel good. It’s hot, so it’s perfect.”It was a perfect night for baseball at Sox Park, and the crowd was treated to an interesting game against the Baltimore Orioles.Starter Mike Clevinger made his home debut, coming out of the bullpen before the game to the Kanye West song “Gold Digger.”It was a curious selection for Clevinger, whom MLB investigated for several months over allegations of domestic abuse m...

Armanis Romero paces Boston English win, honors Jackie Robinson

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:00 GMT

BOSTON – Armanis Romero couldn’t just let the No. 42 on his back be the only tribute he’d make to one of baseball’s most popular icons Friday night.In a game Boston English honored Jackie Robinson – Major League Baseball’s first African-American player – by having the entire team wear his famous number on their jerseys, Romero (2-for-4) took it a step further when he smashed a walkoff, RBI single over the outfielders’ heads with two outs to finish off a 4-3 nonleague win over St. Mark’s.The heroics for the Eagles (5-0) only added to his Robinson-esque stealing of home plate in the fourth inning, as well as taking over the mound in the seventh to pitch the final two outs just moments before he delivered the game-winner.The white jerseys, custom-made with Robinson’s Brooklyn Dodgers font on the chest, were planned. The performance was a bonus.“I mean, Jackie Robinson got to business. Today, I got to business,” Romero said. “It’s a day that’s pretty important to us. It’s a day that cel...
