President Donald Trump on Friday blamed Minnesota's Democratic governor for cyberattacks on the state's water systems even though U. S. officials previously told ABC News authorities are investigating whether Iran or hackers associated with the country could be behind them. "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I think, I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent," Trump said at a Cabinet meeting at Camp David, without offering evidence.

Daniel Heuer/ReutersWalz pushed back against Trump's comments in statements on social media Friday. "Trump knows exactly who is responsible for this attack, and knows that other states were hit too. This is what modern warfare looks like, and it further illustrates there's no plan to win a war with Iran," Walz wrote in a social media post. The governor also noted federal cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) weakened cybersecurity. "DOGE took an axe to CISA and left the U. S. exposed to cyber attacks.

But the latest development — when a Suffolk County jury last week unanimously awarded him $6 million in damages in his civil lawsuit against Knouse, while dismissing her claims of retaliation and harassment against him — are scenes he describes in vivid detail. How the light went off on the court officer’s desk, indicating the jury had reached a verdict. How the clerk passed the envelope with their decision to the judge, and then back to the foreperson who read each count aloud. How he did not react to the announcement of damages awarded to him, but grabbed his brother’s hand as all of Knouse’s counts were dismissed. “I don’t know if I still believe it, to be honest with you,” he said in a phone interview Sunday. Knouse, contacted through her lawyer, Ellen Zucker, declined to comment. She will appeal the ruling, Zucker said. The last five years, as Sabatini fell from a prominent biologist who generated Nobel Prize buzz to an outsider who schools refused to work with, were “the hardest years of my life,” he said.

FOXBOROUGH — Geno Smith sat at his locker with his shoulders slumped, staring blankly at the iron grey carpet in the visitor’s locker room of Gillette Stadium. The Jets quarterback stoically held his gaze, his mind adrift after absorbing a 26-19 loss to the Patriots. Smith wasn’t alone in having a muted reaction postgame. Rookie defensive end David Bailey faced his locker with a jet black hoodie pulled over his head, his head in his hands facing his metal locker. There was no music blaring. The lone sound emanating was hangers clanging around. Only a few players looked at their phones. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson, held to four catches for 44 yards, sat with his back to the room in the corner, quietly speaking to a couple of teammates. Leaving the field, it was more of the same. Fans tried for high fives, to no avail. Defensive end Kingsley Enagbare grabbed at his hair in frustration. The irritation stems from a seventh-consecutive loss to a divisional opponent and the team’s third straight trip to Gillette Stadium ending in defeat.

“Just talking noise: ‘When are you going to get a sack? When are you going to get the quarterback on the ground?’ ” Williams said of his coach’s approach. “You know him. You all know Vrabes, man … he’s an [expletive]. He’s going to be an [expletive]. That’s how he is,” he added with a small smile. “But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Continue to just challenge us, challenge us, challenge us. Week-in, week-out; day-in, day-out. And I think that’s just going to help us get better and better as we go.”No one can test Williams and the defense like Vrabel. And, as it turned out, those occasionally salty challenges from the coach — who called it a “lucky” victory — may have made the difference on Sunday.

To be clear, it was not a sparking performance from Vrabel’s defense. Quarterback Geno Smith and his pesky offense kept hanging around through all four quarters.

As Xaverian quarterback Will Wood navigated his recruiting process, he fell in love with the idea of playing in front of 100,000-plus fans at Penn State. In May, he committed to the Nittany Lions and felt content with his choice. Once the “honeymoon phase” ended, and he began to view his situation through an objective lens, the Natick resident realized Boston College offered a sense of familiarity that Penn State could not. Wood, a 6-foot-2-inch, 220-pound four-star prospect, appreciated that BC coach Bill O’Brien stayed in touch throughout the process. He said the Eagles never wavered in their recruitment, and O’Brien told him he believes he could start for him one day. Woods visited Boston College, “things ramped up,” and he knew deep down that he had to stay home. On Sunday, the standout senior committed to play for the Eagles. This time, it’s final, and he couldn’t be more thrilled. Get Varsity NewsYour weekly look at the top high school sports stories.
