Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 17:16:59 GMT

FOXBORO — Maybe it was a blip.Or a maybe a message sent. Or a nothing-burger served at midfield during a steamy Sunday practice. Or perhaps it was a footnote that just happened to hang at the top of the page instead of the bottom.But whatever it was, rookie quarterback Malik Cunningham taking snaps from David Andrews at the start of team periods was no accident.After 20 minutes of warmups and fundamental drills, the Patriots broke into their first 11-on-11 period of a shorts-and-shells practice. Cunningham, who electrified the Pats offense late in the preseason opener with his lightning quickness and speed, dropped under center to begin work against the starting defense. Then, thunder rolled in the distance.Bill Belichick blew his whistle, hustled the team off the field before real lightning could strike and trotted into the safety of Gillette Stadium. Thirty minutes passed, players and coaches reconvened under sunny skies, and Cunningham took over again.He made a couple hand-offs, ...

MARION, Kan. (AP) — A small central Kansas police department is facing a torrent of criticism for raiding a local newspaper’s office and the owner and publisher’s home, seizing computers and cellphones, and, in the publisher’s view, stressing his 98-year-old mother enough to cause her weekend death.Several press freedom watchdogs condemned the Marion Police Department’s actions as a blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution’s protection for a free press. The Marion County Record’s editor and publisher, Eric Meyer, worked with his staff Sunday to reconstruct stories, ads and other materials for its next edition Wednesday, even as he took time in the afternoon to provide a local funeral home with information about his mother, Joan, the paper’s co-owner. A search warrant tied the raids by Marion police, led Friday morning by Chief Gideon Cody, to a dispute between the newspaper and a local restaurant owner, Kari Newell. She is accusing the newspaper of invading her p...

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made another inspection tour of major munitions factories and ordered a drastic increase in production of missiles and other weapons, state media said Monday, days before South Korea and the U.S. begin annual military drills that North Korea views as an invasion rehearsal.Kim’s push to produce more weapons also comes as U.S. officials believe Russia’s defense minister recently talked with North Korea about selling more weapons to Russia for its war with Ukraine.The Korean Central News Agency said Kim visited factories producing tactical missiles, mobile launch platforms, armored vehicles and artillery shells on Friday and Saturday.During a stop at the missile factory, Kim set a goal to “drastically boost” production capacity so the facility can mass produce missiles to meet the needs of frontline military units, KCNA said.“The qualitative level of war preparations depends on the development of the munitions industry and the f...
