June 8, 2025

Veteran reserve Alex Caruso had another strong performance and Aaron Wiggins provided a surprise boost in Oklahoma City’s first Finals win since 2012.

June 8, 2025

The jury in Harvey Weinstein’s New York sex crimes retrial is set to resume deliberations. The panel of seven women and five men will resume weighing two counts of criminal sex act and one count of rape Monday. The 73-year-old former movie mogul has pleaded not guilty. One juror on Friday asked to be removed from the case, but the judge told him he had to keep deliberating. Weinstein was originally found guilty in 2020 of rape and sexual assault in a verdict considered a landmark in the #MeToo movement. The conviction was overturned, leading to his retrial.

Who’s that knocking at your door? It’s Anthony Weiner on a comeback tour

June 8, 2025

Former Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner is attempting a political comeback with a candidacy for the New York City Council. The effort comes years after his once-promising political career imploded in sexting scandals that culminated in a prison sentence after he had illicit online contact with a child. The Associated Press accompanied Weiner on a recent weekday as he knocked on dozens of doors in an apartment complex in the lower Manhattan district he’s hoping to represent. Most people he spoke with appeared happy and surprised to see him. No one pressed him about his scandals.

Under Patel, FBI heightens focus on violent crime, illegal immigration. Other threats abound, too

June 8, 2025

The FBI under the leadership of Director Kash Patel has made fighting violent crime and illegal immigration top priorities. That effort brings the bureau into alignment with the vision of President Donald Trump, who has made a crackdown on illegal immigration, cartels and transnational gangs a cornerstone of his administration. The FBI said in a statement that its dedication to investigating terrorism had not changed but acknowledged that it “continuously analyzes the threat landscape” and makes adjustments as necessary. Yet some are concerned the heightened focus on violent crime and immigration risks diverting attention from some of the complicated criminal and national security threats for which the bureau has long borne primary responsibility for investigating.

Unsubstantiated ‘chemtrail’ conspiracy theories lead to legislation proposed in US statehouses

June 8, 2025

State legislatures are passing bills to ban weather modification and geoengineering based on decades-old “chemtrails” conspiracy theories, moving the fringe theory from online into actual public policy. Most recently, legislators in Louisiana passed such legislation, which is now on the governor’s desk. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee already signed a similar bill into law last year and one in Florida has passed both the House and the Senate. More than a dozen states have introduced their own measures, some of which have already failed and others that are making their way through the legislative process.

Pacers fail to sweep Games 1 and 2 in a series for the first time in these playoffs

June 8, 2025

For the Indiana Pacers, a chance at being perfect in Games 1 and 2 of these playoffs went awry. They’ll have to settle for a mere split of the opening two games in the NBA Finals instead. The Pacers’ bid to become the fifth team in NBA history to go 8-0 to open the four playoff rounds — sweeping Games 1 and 2 in all four series — was stopped on Sunday night by the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder took control early and won Game 2 of the NBA Finals 123-107, tying the championship matchup at a game apiece.

Red Sox hit 5 home runs and overcome 2 by Judge in 11-7 win over Yankees

June 8, 2025

Carlos Narváez put Boston ahead with a three-run homer against his former team, and the Red Sox overcame two home runs by Aaron Judge in an 11-7 victory over the New York Yankees. Rafael Devers also went deep as Boston equaled a season high with five longballs to take two of three games at Yankee Stadium in the first series this season between the longtime rivals. Narváez signed with the Yankees in 2015 and broke into the big leagues with them last year, getting into six games before New York traded him to Boston in December. The rookie catcher gave the Red Sox a 5-3 lead in the sixth inning by lifting a fastball from Carlos Rodón into the left-field seats.

US Open gets a soggy start to the week at Oakmont, with Jordan Spieth among early arrivals

June 8, 2025

U.S. Open week is off to a soggy start at Oakmont. Players are starting to arrive equipped with umbrellas and expectations of a typical tough test. Jordan Spieth was among the early arrivals. He played the front nine Saturday and got in 11 holes Sunday. The rough is every bit as deep and thick as advertised. Spieth says it’s one of the few U.S. Open courses that doesn’t need a lot of work to be ready for a major. He says mistakes are bound to happen. The key to Oakmont is not to compound the mistakes.

After tear gas and street fires, a Los Angeles community cleans up as National Guard troops arrive

June 8, 2025

Local residents in one Los Angeles-area community cleaned up streets and erased graffiti while expressing dismay at the damage caused during violent clashes between protesters and immigration authorities over the weekend. Ernest Melendrez is one. He woke up early Sunday to shovel tear gas pellets and other charred and broken detritus from his neighborhood’s streets, the remnants of a battle the night before. Melendrez wore a mask covering his nose and mouth but he coughed often. It wasn’t enough to protect him from remaining tear gas still in the air. Given the breadth of the damage, he and his neighbors say they’re angry they were being left to clean up the mess.

Hall of Famer Don Nelson selected as this year’s winner of Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award

June 8, 2025

Don Nelson has been invited to the NBA Finals countless times in recent years, always declining those opportunities. This time, his peers found a way to ensure he couldn’t say no. Nelson — a Basketball Hall of Famer and three-time NBA coach of the year — was announced Sunday as this year’s recipient of the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by the National Basketball Coaches Association. It will be formally given out Sunday night, about an hour before Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder.

June 8, 2025

Hall of Fame coach Don Nelson was not a fan of the Dallas Mavericks trading Luka Doncic — and chose his footwear for Game 2 of the NBA Finals accordingly. Nelson arrived for the news conference announcing him as the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award winner, as selected by the National Basketball Coaches Association, wearing a pair of Doncic’s signature Jordan Brand sneaker. The reason: He was showing Doncic — who he calls “my dear friend” — support.

Panthers-Oilers Stanley Cup Final is as tight as can be. Game 3 could tilt the series

June 8, 2025

The second consecutive Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers has been about as even as a series can get through two games, with each winning one in overtime. The Panthers have led for more time, the Oilers have gotten more shots on net and a bounce or two here or there could have changed the complexion of where these teams are at. That’s still the case going into Game 3 on Monday night with the chance that small adjustments could tilt the series one way or the other.

South Florida pro sports teams are inspired by the success of the Florida Panthers

June 8, 2025

The Panthers are in the Stanley Cup Final for the third straight year. They’re three wins away from defending their 2024 title. The Panthers went from winning just 25 playoff games in their first 28 seasons combined to winning more than 40 — and counting — in the past three seasons. And their general manager, Bill Zito, has been in conversations for GM of the Year for several seasons after building title-contending rosters year after year. They’re the pinnacle of success in South Florida, and other pro sports teams in the region have taken notice.

It’s the economy, estúpido: New Jersey governor’s race tests Democrats’ efforts to win back Latinos

June 8, 2025

The New Jersey gubernatorial primary has emerged as a crucial test for Democrats seeking to regain Latino support nationally. This election highlights the challenges in traditionally blue areas where the party’s decline in this racial demographic has been more pronounced than in battleground states. President Donald Trump vastly narrowed the Democratic margins in New Jersey and New York, even flipping some heavily Latino towns. Inflation was an even bigger concern among Hispanics, than it was for white voters last fall. Strategists, unions, organizers and politicians have begun to pivot away from immigration and recentering their messaging around the economy.

Chinese hackers and user lapses turn smartphones into a ‘mobile security crisis’

June 8, 2025

Hackers tied to China’s government have tried repeatedly to access the phones of prominent Americans, part of Beijing’s sprawling cyberespionage efforts. Smartphones and other mobile devices present significant national security and cybersecurity risks, as foreign government hackers exploit vulnerabilities in mobile networks and apps to spy on people and steal secrets. And people’s careless use of mobile devices to share sensitive information is another concern. National security experts say that mobile security hasn’t kept up as mobile devices and networks have proliferated, making them a significant vulnerability in the nation’s cyber defenses.
