Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:44:40 GMT

Newly unsealed court records indicate special counsel Jack Smith’s team warned that former President Trump could "precipitate violence" unless the court shielded its efforts to obtain information on his Twitter account. The records show Smith's office obtained a total of 32 direct messages from Trump’s account as part of its investigation, with a copy of the warrant also unsealed Friday showing the breadth of the information prosecutors sought. The 71-page filing from prosecutors, submitted to the court in April but unsealed Friday, offers new details about why Smith’s team feared alerting Trump to the matter.The secret battle to obtain the records was revealed in an opinion unsealed in August, showing that Twitter, now known as X, was fined $350,000 for not complying with a court order to turn over the records.Earlier unsealed court records showed the special counsel was concerned that if Trump knew about the warrant to access his account he could disclose it to the public, so...

Clemente was born on Aug. 18, 1934, in Puerto Rico. Unable to afford a glove or bat, Roberto Jr. says that didn't stop his dad from playing ball. (Roberto Clemente Museum)(Roberto Clemente Museum)(Roberto Clemente Museum)"At the time you would get cardboard or anything to make a glove...tree branches for bats, cans for balls, so you used anything in your imagination to play the game.

Austin chosen to receive $4 million grant to create 'reuse warehouse'

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:44:40 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The City of Austin was recently chosen, along with 24 other communities, to receive funding from the Environmental Protection Agency to support and improve recycling efforts. Austin will use the $4 million grant to create a reuse warehouse. According to a release, the warehouse will accept drop-off furniture donations and redistribute them to regional nonprofit organizations with a focus on furnishing homes for those transitioning out of homelessness. The city hopes to open the warehouse no later than 2026. The release also said innovative programming could expand in future years to accept deconstructed building materials and offer workforce training and development opportunities. According to the release, furniture has emerged as a problematic material stream, and it often takes up more floor space at resale stores and often sells slowly. This means unwanted furniture that is still usable sometimes ends up in the landfill. The goal of the warehouse is to provi...

What’s happening to Minnesota’s mallards?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:44:40 GMT

BEMIDJI — For the first time in more than a half-century mallards were not the most common duck shot by Minnesota waterfowl hunters in 2022 — topped by both blue-winged teal and ring-necked ducks.Mallards had been the most-harvested duck in the state since at least the 1960s, said Steve Cordts, waterfowl specialist for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and it remains unclear exactly why mallard harvest numbers in the state are dropping.“Mallards have been No.1 forever, at least since the 1940s and maybe 50s when scaup (bluebills) were the most commonly harvested duck here,” Cordts said, adding mallards had never before trailed teal or woodies.While wood duck harvest and teal harvest have generally been going up or been stable in recent years — and ring-necked ducks have always been a popular duck, especially in northern Minnesota — the number of mallards harvested has slowly moved down. Cordts had predicted several years ago that wood ducks likely would eventually top m...
