Senators on Tuesday called Russia’s downing of a U.S. drone “dangerous” and “reckless,” slamming Russian President Vladimir Putin but stopping short of calling for any specific actions. A Russian fighter jet intercepted the drone over the Black Sea.“This intercept was so dangerous and so brazen that the U.S. Air Force was forced to crash their drone into international waters. It is another reckless act by President Putin and his military, and I want to tell Mr. Putin, stop this behavior before you are the cause of an unintended escalation,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said from the chamber floor. He added, “The U.S. has routinely flown over the Black Sea since before Putin’s illegal and reckless invasion of Ukraine, and I’m confident our military will continue to do so.”Officials warned the situation could lead to an unintended escalation in the region amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

It may have been Old Man Winter’s last gasp on Tuesday, as a whopper of a nor’easter pummeled the region, dumping nearly 3 feet of heavy wet snow on spots and sparking power outages.The powerful snowstorm toppled power lines and trees in parts of Massachusetts, and a falling tree in New Hampshire struck a child — who got trapped under the tree before getting freed by first responders.The more north and west you live in the Bay State, the more snow you saw piling up.

Published Sun, 02 Feb 2025 18:31:49 GMT

The Miami Dolphins are re-signing running backs Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr., and it’s an interesting move because it could be viewed as being as much about the head coach as the players.The Dolphins are showing faith that coach Mike McDaniel, given the same talent, won’t finish 31st — second-to-last in the league — in rushing attempts (390) again.The Dolphins are also showing faith that when the running game is working during a game, it won’t be abandoned.Most significantly, the Dolphins, who are in ‘win-now’ mode, are saying they can win with what they’ve got, or what they had, which isn’t how it seemed last season.It’s not a big surprise that the Dolphins plan to re-sign Mostert and Wilson.
