NFL Notes: The Patriots can start to prove themselves again Sunday night

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:36:28 GMT

The promise of this Patriots season was never a playoff win.It wasn’t even a postseason berth.It wasn’t joy or winning or more automatic, biannual beatdowns of the Jets.It was clarity.Finally learning Mac Jones’ true potential. Finding out whether Bill Belichick is positioned to lead the Patriots long-term or will drop himself onto an already rumored hot seat. Discovering whether the Patriot Way is a dust-gathering relic of the past or a blueprint the franchise has successfully rolled out again.Yet here we are, still waiting.Of course, that promise was never going to be kept in Week 1. NFL season-openers are both the most anticipated and least telling games of the year. What the Patriots’ loss to the Eagles taught us is largely what we already knew.Against top-tier opponents, Jones can both lead the Patriots close to victory and count himself among the reasons they ultimately lost. Belichick can still devise as sharp a defensive game plan as you could imagine...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:36:28 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Hundreds gathered in central London on Saturday to mark the anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman who died in police custody in Iran last year, sparking worldwide protests against the country’s conservative Islamic theocracy.Chanting “Women! Life! Freedom!,” the crowds held her portrait and rallied around the memory of a young woman who died on Sept. 16, 2022, after she was arrested for allegedly violating Iran’s mandatory headscarf law. Similar protests took place in Italy, Germany and France.In Iran, authorities sought to prevent the anniversary from reigniting the protests that gripped the country last year. Amini’s father was detained outside his home after the family indicated that they planned to gather at her grave for a traditional service of commemoration, the Kurdish rights group Hengaw said. People in downtown Tehran reported a heavy security presence, and security forces were seen in western Iran, where t...

Texas AG Ken Paxton’s impeachment trial is on the brink of a verdict as senators end deliberations

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:36:28 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas Senate on Saturday ended deliberations over whether Attorney General Ken Paxton should be removed from office, putting the Republican’s historic impeachment trial on the brink of a verdict.The jury of 30 senators, most of whom are Republicans, spent about eight hours deliberating behind closed doors. A two-thirds majority is required to convict Paxton on any of 16 articles of impeachment that accuse Paxton of bribery, corruption and unfitness for office. Voting was expected to begin at 10:30 a.m. CT. The vote could be a slow, public process. Each article of impeachment gets a separate vote. Republicans hold a 19-12 majority in the Senate, meaning that if all Democrats vote to convict Paxton, they would need nine Republicans to join them. Deliberations started Friday, and the talks dragging out for more than a day behind closed doors fed a rare lack of assurance about how a vote might go in the Texas Capitol, where a dominant Republican majority typical...

The Senate’s bipartisan approach to government funding is putting pressure on a divided House

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:36:28 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — On one side of the Capitol, two senators have steered the debate over government funding mostly clear of partisan fights, creating a path for bills to pass with bipartisan momentum.Steps away, on the House side of the building, things couldn’t be more different.House Republicans, trying to win support from the far-right wing of the party, have loaded up their government funding packages with spending cuts and conservative policy priorities. Democrats have responded with ire, branding their GOP counterparts as extreme and bigoted, and are withdrawing support for the legislation.The contrary approaches are not unusual for such fights in Congress. But the differences are especially stark this time, creating a gulf between the chambers that could prove difficult to bridge. The dynamic threatens to plunge the United States into yet another damaging government shutdown, potentially as soon as the end of September when last year’s funding expires.Leaders in both cha...
