Haaland formalizes historical park boundary

 

Senators Whitehouse and Reed and Congressman Jim Langevin look on as Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland formalizes the boundary of the Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park in July. OSMA helped to make this possible through its donation of property for the park. This is an exciting time for the old mill and Pawtucket.

Jury selection will continue tomorrow in Donald Trump's historic hush money trial. More than 50 potential jurors were dismissed Monday after saying they could not be fair and impartial. Trump railed against the criminal case against him, calling it a "scam trial" and a "political witch-hunt." Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.        The House is expected to send articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate Tuesday. The move will force the Democratic-led Senate to take up the matter of impeachment against Mayorkas. Republicans in the House impeached Mayorkas in February over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.        The House of Representatives is looking to put a financial squeeze on Iran after its massive missile and drone attack against Israel over the weekend. Three bills were brought to the floor Monday aiming to impose penalties on Tehran and its proxies in the Middle East.        The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled Idaho's ban on gender-affirming care will remain in effect while the case is challenged in court. Under a 2023 law, physicians who provide hormones, puberty blockers or other gender-affirming care to people younger than 18 can be sentenced to ten years in prison.        Authorities are confirming the deaths of two Kansas women whose bodies were found in Oklahoma. The bodies of Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelley were found in Texas County, Oklahoma, this past weekend, more than two weeks after the women were last seen. Four people are each facing two counts of first-degree murder.        Three new species of ancient kangaroo have been identified by a research group from Flinders University in South Australia. The research was published in the Megataxa journal and identifies kangaroos that lived between five million and 40-thousand years ago. The heaviest weighed up to 375 pounds, twice as heavy as today's largest kangaroos. At their tallest the ancient creatures would have been six-and-a-half feet tall.
