Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:23:49 GMT

A weird win is a win nonetheless, especially if you’re the 2023 Rockies.Colorado beat the Marlins 7-6 on Thursday in the matinee at Coors Field, clinching the series. The Rockies were down early, rallied and then blew a four-run lead in an ugly top of the ninth that saw rookie Brenton Doyle carted off after crashing into the center field wall.In the end, the game finished on a LoDo high note when rookie shortstop Ezequiel Tovar delivered his first career walk-off hit, an RBI single to lift Colorado to victory in the bottom of the ninth.“That was a crazy game, but we did what we had to do at the end to get the win,” said Ryan McMahon, who had two hits, two RBIs and a walk. “They’re not all pretty.”Kyle Freeland threw five-innings of two-run ball, and the bullpen was solid up until closer Pierce Johnson imploded by giving up a pair of two-run homers in the ninth. Doyle was injured on the first of those while attempting to rob Jorge Soler’s bla...

Texas lawmakers recommend impeaching AG Ken Paxton

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:23:49 GMT

By Acacia Coronado and Jake Bleiberg | Associated PressAUSTIN, Texas — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton teetered on the brink of impeachment Thursday after years of scandal, criminal charges and corruption accusations that the state’s Republican majority had largely met with silence until now.In an unanimous decision, a Republican-led House investigative committee that spent months quietly looking into Paxton recommended impeaching the state’s top lawyer. The House could vote on the recommendation as soon as Friday. If it impeaches Paxton, he would be forced to leave office immediately.The move sets set up what could be a remarkably sudden downfall for one of the GOP’s most prominent legal combatants, who in 2020 asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Joe Biden’s victory. Only two officials in Texas’ nearly 200-year history have been impeached.Paxton has been under FBI investigation for years over accusations that he used his office to help a donor a...

It is Lee and the progressives who are the very real and sinister threat to our democracy, who want to silence any opposition and put more power into the hands of the federal autocrats.Lee is unfit for any political position, and it would be a great tra...

By Kaanita Iyer | CNNTwo employees of Donald Trump moved boxes of papers at Mar-a-Lago a day before the Justice Department visited the former president’s residence to collect classified documents , The Washington Post reported Thursday.The Post, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that investigators view the timing – just before FBI agents and a prosecutor visited the Florida resort to recover the documents sought as part of a subpoena – as a potential sign of obstruction.Investigators have evidence, the newspaper reported, that the former president kept classified documents in a visible place in his office and had shown them to others. He also allegedly conducted “a ‘dress rehearsal’ for moving sensitive papers” along with his team before they were subpoenaed in May 2022, according to the report.CNN previously reported that following the May 2022 subpoena – which former president wanted to fight – federal prosecutors had a June meeting at Mar-a-Lago during which they w...
