Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 05:45:55 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- It's been six weeks since Gov. Gavin Newsom deployed the California National Guard and California Highway Patrol into the drug-plagued Tenderloin neighborhood. Fentanyl seized by the state's task force revealed just how massive supplies flowing onto the streets of San Francisco actually are.

All of that fentanyl was found within just the past six weeks, and before it could reach the hands of addicts, according to the Governor's Office.

The FBI Is Hunting a New Domestic Terror Threat: Abortion Rights Activists

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 05:45:55 GMT

Following a concerted effort by Republicans to pressure law enforcement agencies to target activists supporting the right to abortion, the FBI dramatically increased its caseload on abortion-related “domestic terrorism.”Last year, as the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade sparked major protests nationwide, the FBI opened nearly 10 times as many investigations into cases of abortion-related domestic terrorism as it had in 2021, a new internal report reveals. While the report doesn’t say how many of these incidents were motivated by support for reproductive rights and how many were anti-abortion, the uptick follows calls by top Republicans in Congress for the bureau to pursue “pro-abortion terrorism.” “Pro-abortion terrorism is sweeping our nation,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., wrote in a column last June, lamenting that “only after the outcry from the pro-life community did the FBI announce an investigation” into Jane’s Revenge — a small group of activists that firebo...

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings reported for minicamp this week with a dress-up theme — sports jerseys — that came with a contest to award the most creative player.The assignment generated by quarterback Kirk Cousins spread through the entire organization, with roughly two-thirds of all staff wearing one to work on Tuesday — some current, some throwback, some random choices in between. “All Kirk’s idea,” Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said. “That was his whole deal, and the guys took it and ran with it.”Cousins chose a Georgetown-era Allen Iverson jersey. An assistant coach who wanted to needle his boss, whom O’Connell declined to name, found a replica of the head coach’s jersey from his college career at San Diego State. New Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy, in a head-to-toe Vancouver Grizzlies uniform featuring former point guard Mike Bibby, was declared the winner. Bibby happens to be Murphy’s uncle.Cousins has been taking small groups of teammates...

Robot umpires not likely to get MLB call-up for 2024

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 05:45:55 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Robot umpires likely won’t be ready for a big league call-up next season.Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says the Automatic Ball-Strike System being used at Triple-A is not likely to be used in the big leagues in 2024.“I think there’s some sentiment among the group that we made had a lot of changes here,” he said Thursday following an owners meeting. “We ought to let the dust settle and there are clearly unresolved operational issues with respect to ABS. Despite all the testing, we still have some things that are unresolved.”Defining a computerized strike zone is among the issues.The independent Atlantic League trialed the ABS system at its 2019 All-Star Game and it was used in that’s year Arizona Fall League of top prospects. The ABS was tried at eight of nine ballparks of the Low-A Southeast League in 2021, then moved up to Triple-A in 2022.At Triple-A this year, half the games use the robots for ball/strike calls and half have a human making decision...
