Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:30:17 GMT

Oakland’s Rep. Barbara Lee, struggling to gain traction in her U.S. Senate bid against Democratic rivals, ripped Gov. Gavin Newsom over remarks in an interview Sunday that if incumbent Dianne Feinstein can’t finish her term, he’d appoint a Black woman who isn’t running for her seat as a temporary caretaker.Asked by interviewer Chuck Todd on NBC’s Meet the Press whether he would abide by a previous pledge to appoint a Black woman should Feinstein, 90, be unable to finish her term ending on Jan.3, 2025, Newsom said he would. But he added he’d seek an “interim appointment” rather than tap someone now running for her seat.“It would be completely unfair to the Democrats that have worked their tail off,” Newsom responded about the race for Feinstein’s seat in which polls show Lee trailing Democratic reps.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tyreek Hill was at a Miami bar during the preseason when Hall of Famer Dan Marino walked in.“Hey, Reek, man, you’ve been doing a great job,” Hill recalled the former Dolphins quarterback saying. “You guys need to start meeting together. I used to do that with all my guys back in the day.”Since then, Miami’s receivers have been getting together after practices to work on being in the right spots for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Wet Weather and Watching Lee

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:30:17 GMT

Wet weather has been the story of the forecast over the last few days and will continue to be the story of the forecast through Wednesday. There are three separate systems at play for us throughout the 7 day forecast. 1) The stationary front sitting… well, stationary… over New England.2) A cold front in the Midwest that will kick out the stationary front and provide us with drier air to close the week (sun and low humidity!)3) Hurricane LeeOk so the short term forecast is all about that stationary front. As the cold front to the west moves eastward it will nudge that stationary front east tomorrow so most of the rain will shift offshore. It’s most of the rain, not all of the rain. So while tomorrow is a drier day than today, it’s not 100% dry. And while we’ll still have a lot of clouds, I do think we’ll see some breaks of sunshine as well. It will also be another humid day as the drier air doesn’t return until the cold front passes.The next ...
