Electric vehicle maker Rivian said Tuesday that it will allow other companies to purchase its fleet of delivery vans, ending an exclusive agreement with Amazon.In an announcement made alongside its third quarter earnings, the Irvine, California-based car maker said the decision provides other companies more opportunity to electrify their delivery fleets and reduce carbon emissions.The agreement with Amazon, made in 2019, included provisions that barred Rivian from selling commercial vans to other customers and provided Amazon exclusive access to the vans for four years from when it began receiving the EVs.Rivian reiterated its pledge to help Amazon put 100,000 electric vehicles on the road by 2030. Amazon says it’s rolled out more than 10,000 so far.More sales of Rivian vans also helps Amazon, which owns a 17% stake in the electric car company.Red-hot stocksStocks that traded heavily or had substantial price changes on Tuesday:Celanese Corp., down $3.46 to $116.57.The chemical...Former Red Sox coach gets same job with division rival

With Thanksgiving only a couple of weeks away, state health officials are again encouraging residents to get a COVID booster and flu shot before the holiday gatherings.The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is also urging eligible residents to get the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine — including those who are pregnant, newborns, and many people 60-plus.“With Thanksgiving just two weeks away, now is a great time for those preparing to celebrate with friends and loved ones to get vaccinated for flu, COVID-19, and RSV, if eligible,” said Public Health Commissioner Robert Goldstein.“Getting vaccinated now will maximize protection against these respiratory viruses,” Goldstein added. “We want Massachusetts residents to have a safe, healthy, and fun holiday season and part of that is getting vaccinated to protect yourself and those around you.”The seasonal flu vaccine and updated COVID booster both take up to two weeks for full prot...Should domestic violence offenders have guns? Supreme Court hears arguments
Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:36:15 GMT
A case over whether or not people subjected to restraining orders should lose their right to carry guns was heard by the Supreme Court on Tuesday, as justices mull a legal challenge that could upend firearms laws nationally.The high court seemed skeptical as they accepted oral arguments in United States v. Rahimi, a case involving a Texas man convicted for his unlawful possession of guns after he had been ordered to stay away from his girlfriend.After the restraining order was issued, Zackey Rahimi was arrested as the suspect in unrelated shootings. When police searched his home they found guns. Police charged him with violating federal law and he pleaded guilty to those charges.But last summer the Supreme Court declared in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen that most extraordinary firearms licensing requirements are at odds with the plain reading of the Second Amendment. That decision effectively overturned gun laws in the dozens of states which had placed...Son of Bruins player suspended from NHL for betting returns to Boston to thank fans

The son of a Bruins player suspended from the NHL for betting in the 1940s says he’s not angry about how the league treated his father, and instead, he’s thanking fans for their support over the decades.Don Gallinger Jr. returned to Boston last week with his wife and daughter, handing out cards of his father Don Gallinger to fans outside the TD Garden prior to last Thursday’s win over Toronto.In the 1947-48 season, NHL president Clarence Campbell banned Gallinger and his teammate Billy Taylor for life from the league for betting on games involving the Bruins. The suspensions were lifted 22 years later.“Anybody who is my age or older are aware of the story and aware of my father,” Gallinger Jr. told the Herald. “Many people today who’d be in their 20s or 30s, they’ve never heard of my father.”“He never got a chance to say goodbye,” Gallinger Jr. said of his father. “And he never got over it. It ruined his life and tainted everything he attempted to do thereafter.”Hockey historian Fre...Jaquan Brisker is ready to ‘fly around’ with Eddie Jackson on defense for Chicago Bears: ‘Put us in there and we’ll be good’

Jaquan Brisker was pushing to return from a concussion, his second in two seasons, at New Orleans Sunday but said the Chicago Bears and doctors involved wanted to err on the side of caution.Now, after missing two games, the strong safety is set to start Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers at Soldier Field. It will provide a glimpse of the defense we haven’t seen much this season.Brisker was injured on the two-point conversion at the end of the Bears’ 30-12 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. He initially passed concussion protocol and then was out of the building with an illness. When he felt better from the illness, concussion symptoms took over and the Bears placed him in protocol, which sidelined him for a second week.He said the latest head injury wasn’t nearly as difficult as the one he endured late last season from a concussion in the Week 11 loss at Atlanta. It sidelined him the next two games and the bye week that followed before returnin...13-year-old girl who 'ditched' school prompts search in North County

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:36:15 GMT
The Biden administration on Tuesday urged an appeals court to allow sweeping new asylum restrictions to stay in place, warning that halting them would be “highly disruptive” at the border.The government is urging a panel of judges in Pasadena, California — two appointed by President Bill Clinton and one by President Donald Trump — to overturn a July ruling that sought to block the new asylum restrictions. The new restrictions made it far more difficult to qualify for asylum if a migrant didn’t first apply online or traveled through another country, such as Mexico, and didn’t seek protection there. They have remained in place during the appeal.Although the judges didn’t rule immediately and gave no indication how they were leaning, the arguments occurred against a backdrop of Senate Republicans seeking to legislate far-reaching changes to asylum eligibility as part of President Joe Biden’s request for military aid to Ukraine and Israel.Courts blocked similar m...More Bukele critics join effort seeking to nullify El Salvador leader’s candidacy for re-election

SAN SALVADOR (AP) — As President Nayib Bukele seeks re-election, a growing number of voices are urging electoral authorities to reverse their acceptance of the popular leader’s candidacy, arguing it is a clear violation of El Salvador’s constitution.Bukele has gained the unwavering support of many in this Central American nation of 6.5 million people after his fierce crackdown on the Mara Salvatrucha and Barrio 18 gangs halted what had been near constant terror in their day-to-day lives. But many experts and international watchdog groups say that security has come at the expense of human rights and say Bukele’s heavy-handed moves have slowly eaten away at the nation’s already delicate democracy. They are calling for the Supreme Electoral Tribunal to annul Bukele’s candidacy in the February election, though the body already accepted him and have given no indication they might change course.Two lawyers, a citizen and another political party on Tuesday wer...Latest news
