The Texas Department of Public Safety purchased access to powerful software capable of locating and following people through their phones as part of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s “border security disaster” efforts, according to documents reviewed by The Intercept.In 2021, Abbott proclaimed that the “surge of individuals unlawfully crossing the Texas-Mexico border posed an ongoing and imminent threat of disaster” to the state and its residents.

CHINCOTEAGUE, Va. (AP) — Thousands of people gathered Wednesday to watch the Chincoteague wild ponies make their annual trek across the Assateague Channel.The tradition in its 98th year includes Wednesday’s swim and an auction Thursday, the biggest annual fundraiser for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company, which manages the wild pony herd. The horses were made famous in the 1947 classic children’s novel “Misty of Chincoteague” by author Marguerite Henry.A chestnut-colored filly, No. 70, was crowned Queen Neptune as the first pony to complete the swim, according to The Daily Times. “Saltwater cowboys” on horseback round up ponies, who swim the Assateague Channel and come ashore on the east side of Chincoteague Island. Foals are auctioned off to help control the size of the herd, although a few are designated to return to Assateague Island to remain and help replenish the herd.Source

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:19:04 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- It wasn't long ago that Colorado was at the top of the nation for the rate of people leaving their jobs. Americans left their jobs in record numbers in 2021 and 2022 in a pandemic-era trend dubbed the "Great Resignation.” Wages climbed, particularly in low-paying industries, as employers struggled to attract and retain workers.

A new study ranks the Centennial State lower on the list. Financial advisor site WalletHub analyzed the June resignation rates and the rate in the last 12 months for each state. To calculate the ranking, Wallethub counted June's rates as double the value of the ov...

WATCH: Family films trio of whales breaching in sync off of Cape Cod

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:19:04 GMT

A family on the water off the coast of the Cape captured an incredible sight when several whales breached at the same time.The video shows three whales against the horizon leaping out of the water and splashing back into the ocean in sync.The man who captured the video told 7NEWS that he was tuna fishing with his daughters when they saw the whales. Robert Addie said he’s seen many whales, but nothing compared to this scene off the coast.“I was stunned,” Addie said. “I’ve worked tuna and swordfish as a young man out of Gloucester, worked fishing in Alaska as a young man, literally have seen thousands of whales, never seen a triple synchronized breach ever.”Addie said he thinks the whales were likely teaching a younger whale how to hunt for fish.
