San Jose Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky couldn’t believe his luck. The Marshfield, Massachusetts native was a teenager 20-plus years ago when his dad won a contest to go behind the scenes with the Boston Bruins. Pulled out of school for the day, Warsofsky went to TD Garden, saw some players up close and watched Mike Sullivan, then the Bruins’ head coach – and now a close friend – run the team’s morning skate. “I bring my son in here once in a while, and he doesn’t know how lucky he has it being around these guys and hanging out with the guys,” Warsofsky said last Monday in San Jose. “Because I did it once … and it was the best day of my life.” Warsofsky, now 37, will be behind the bench at TD Garden on Monday afternoon – this time as an NHL head coach — when the Sharks face the Bruins in the fourth game of a five-game road trip. “It’s going to be awesome,” Warsofsky said. “It’s probably the game I had circled the most, besides opening night.” The same holds true

By Soo Rin Kim Sunday, January 19, 2025 8:31PM ABC News’ Perry Russom has more on inauguration eve as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office again. President-elect Donald Trump is marking his historic political comeback to the White House with a signature “Make America Great Again Victory Rally” in Washington on Sunday, bringing together more than 20,000 supporters to the nation’s capital ahead of Inauguration Day. The rally is set to be held at Capital One Arena Sunday afternoon, mirroring the Madison Square Garden rally he held in New York City last October, which served as his closing remarks to American voters a week before Election Day in November. LIVE UPDATES: Latest on inauguration of Pres.-elect Donald Trump The Sunday rally is one of numerous festivities planned to celebrate Trump’s second inauguration, along with fireworks Saturday night at his Virginia golf club and exclusive receptions and dinners. At the same time, it’s a move to pay a special tribute to the major role big arena rallies have played in all three of Trump’s presidential bids to galvanize his supporters and to carry that campaign

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump consulted privately with Republican senators Sunday before heading off to a series of events designed to celebrate his return to power and the “Make America Great Again” movement – despite deep national political divisions on the eve of his inauguration. LIVE UPDATES: Latest on inauguration of Pres.-elect Donald Trump The private meeting featured a breakfast at Blair House, the president’s official guest residence, across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, and gave top GOP leaders a chance to lay last-minute plans barely 24 hours before Trump moves back into the White House. Meanwhile, Trump supporters, many arriving from around the country and decked out in their fanciest clothes, including fur coats, filled parties – both formal and informal – at hotels and restaurants close to the White House. As they moved between the festivities, some could be heard chanting “MAGA” or simply stating it as a greeting to fellow revelers. Sunday is Trump’s first full day back in Washington since his election victory and gives him a chance to enjoy the moment and fire up his core supporters before the

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Sunday posthumously pardoned Black nationalist Marcus Garvey, who influenced Malcolm X and other civil rights leaders and was convicted of mail fraud in the 1920s. Also receiving pardons were a top Virginia lawmaker and advocates for immigrant rights, criminal justice reform and gun violence prevention. Congressional leaders had pushed for Biden to pardon Garvey, with supporters arguing that Garvey’s conviction was politically motivated and an effort to silence the increasingly popular leader who spoke of racial pride. After Garvey was convicted, he was deported to Jamaica, where he was born. He died in 1940. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said of Garvey: “He was the first man, on a mass scale and level” to give millions of Black people “a sense of dignity and destiny.” It’s not clear whether Biden, who leaves office Monday, will pardon people who have been criticized or threatened by President-elect Donald Trump. Issuing preemptive pardons – for actual or imagined offenses by Trump’s critics that could be investigated or prosecuted by the incoming administration – would stretch the powers of the presidency in

This week on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan,” on the eve of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, a ceasefire deal takes effect and TikTok is shut down. Biden White House Middle East envoy Brett McGurk joins, as does incoming National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.

Steph Curry missed the final minute of the Warriors’ win Saturday night over the Wizards with an ankle injury, but Golden State coach Steve Kerr does not believe his star guard will miss much time, if any. Curry rolled his left ankle late in the game defending against former Warrior Jordan Poole. He blocked a floater attempt by Pool, then was injured after landing. He was down for a few seconds before limping to the bench and did not re-enter the game. Speaking postgame, Steve Kerr said Curry didn’t believe the injury was serious, though his ankle was wrapped in the locker room. He will be day-to-day, as will Draymond Green, who left the game in the first quarter with calf tightness.

It has been more than two years since Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole during a preseason Warriors practice, but the incident that led to Poole’s eventual departure from the team still hangs over both players’ careers. After the Warriors’ 122-114 win Saturday night over the Wizards at Chase Center, Poole was asked about his reception from the crowd and his former Golden State teammates and coaches. “I love those guys over there. I love most of those guys over there,” Poole told reporters. “A really good group. A really good staff. Shoutout to the fans. I saw a lot of (No.) 3 jerseys out there, a lot of JP3 jerseys, which is always really cool. I always get a lot of love (here). I spent some good quality time here, and it’s dope to see it appreciated.” Green, who left the game in the first quarter with calf tightness, responded to Poole’s clarification of his Warriors love as an opportunity to apologize for the punch. “I really am sorry,” Green wrote on the social media platform X, responding to Poole’s quote shared by ESPN reporter

Warriors beat writer Danny Emerman shares his thoughts on the NBA  For whatever reason, star players rarely make star GMs. Isiah Thomas was infamously terrible at running the Knicks. Joe Dumars was even worse, no matter how many phones he used. Kevin McHale traded prime Kevin Garnett for Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff, Sebastian Telfair and the picks that became Wayne Ellington and Jonny Flynn (sheesh). Larry Bird had some moments as an executive, but the most consequential move he made was trading Kawhi Leonard to the Spurs for George Hill. Is the last Hall of Fame player to become a great GM…Jerry West? Which brings us to the topic de jour: active greats with GM-like input. LeBron James is the biggest example on one end of the spectrum. Early in his career, his annual insistence to go all-in mostly backfired as the wrong players (Shaquille O’Neal, Antawn Jamison) arrived at the wrong times in their careers. James maneuvering his way to Miami to create the Heatles was a stroke of genius that ushered in the player empowerment era. But as shadow

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump is spending the eve of his inauguration in a series of Washington events that celebrate his return to power and his “Make America Great Again” movement as he prepares to move back into the White House at a time of deep national political divisions. The nation’s capital has prepared in unprecedented ways to keep the unfolding events save and secure. But unlike when Trump helped spark a mob of his supporters to attack the Capitol and tried to retain power in 2021 after his loss to Democrat Joe Biden, officials are not expecting massive protests, unrest and violence this time. Instead, the city is braced for crowds celebrating Trump’s second term and MAGA’s total control of the Republican Party. It is a remarkable turnaround after Trump left the nation’s capital four years in disgrace and skipped the inauguration of his successor. Trump blasted his way through the 2024 GOP presidential primary and won November’s election by an Electoral College margin unseen since Democrat Barack Obama was reelected in 2012. Yet even with that comfortable victory and his party in full

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took hold in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, ushering in an initial six-week period of calm and raising hopes for the release of dozens of militant-held hostages and an end to the devastating 15-month war. A last-minute delay by Hamas put off the truce’s start by nearly three hours and highlighted its fragility. A Red Cross convoy was on its way to pick up the first Israeli hostages in Gaza. It was not clear how long the process would take. Even before the ceasefire took effect, celebrations erupted across the territory and some Palestinians began returning to their homes. Israel, meanwhile, announced the names of the first three hostages expected to return home later Sunday, in exchange for the planned release of 90 Palestinian prisoners. The truce, which started at 11:15 a.m. local time, is the first step toward ultimately ending the conflict and returning nearly 100 hostages abducted in Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack. An Israeli official confirmed that Romi Gonen, 24, Emily Damari, 28, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31, were set to be

A U.S. ban of TikTok began to take effect on Sunday, capping a high-stakes battle that pitted the federal government against one of the nation’s most popular social media platforms. Congress passed the measure last spring with overwhelming bipartisan support, granting TikTok a 270-day window to cut its ties with China-based parent company ByteDance or face a ban. Instead of initiating a sale, however, TikTok pursued a legal challenge on First Amendment grounds that failed in the Supreme Court on Friday. The unanimous ruling from the nation’s highest court found merit in national security concerns regarding potential user data collection or content manipulation that the Chinese government might undertake. Yet the ultimate fate of TikTok remains uncertain. Rather than force TikTok to take the app dark, the ban targets third-party companies like cloud service providers and app stores, meaning TikTok could circumvent such restrictions, at least temporarily. The platform became unavailable for some users Saturday evening, with a popup message in the app saying, “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now.” By Sunday morning, App stores run by Apple, Google and Samsung began removing the app.

The Israeli military says it “continues to attack” inside the Gaza Strip as a dispute with Hamas delayed the start of a planned ceasefire. Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the military’s chief spokesman, said the truce would not begin until Hamas hands over the names of three hostages to be released later on Sunday, echoing an earlier statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The truce had been set to go into effect at 8:30 a.m. local time. Hamas blamed the delay in handing over the names on “technical field reasons.” It said in a statement that it is committed to the ceasefire deal announced last week. Netanyahu said he had instructed the military that the ceasefire “will not begin until Israel has in its possession the list of hostages to be freed, which Hamas committed to provide.” He had issued a similar warning the night before. The ceasefire was set to pause the fighting after 15 months of war and see the release of dozens of hostages held by the militants in the Gaza Strip and hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. Israel’s Cabinet approved the

Users in the U.S. who opened the app were greeted with a message that read, “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now.”

TikTok alerted users as they opened the app Saturday night that it has gone offline in the U.S. The shut down comes as the app is scheduled to be banned due to a bipartisan congressional law that ordered the platform to sever ties with China-based parent company ByteDance by Sunday. TikTok is warning users that it’s about to go offline in the U.S. due to a bipartisan law requiring it to cut ties with China-based parent company ByteDance by Sunday. President-elect Donald Trump told ABC News in an interview Saturday he is likely to grant TikTok a 90-day extension to avoid a ban in the United States. Trump, who called for a TikTok ban during his first administration, has said in the last couple of months that the app shouldn’t be removed and told ABC News he is looking into his options to salvage it. “I’m the one who is going to be calling the shots. Most likely, I’ll extend for 90 days,” he told ABC’s Rachel Scott. “You have the extension for 90 days as you probably know. I’ll do that until we figure

VISALIA, Calif. (KFSN) — You’d be hard-pressed to find a hotter team in the Central Valley. With a perfect (20-0) record on the season, The College of the Sequoias (COS) women’s basketball team is currently the No. 1 ranked CCCAA team in California. “We’re about winning,” first-year Head Coach Tyler Newton said. “I never really put an emphasis on record.” You can’t see it at practice, but there’s a giant target on the girls’ backs. Coach Newton says their games have become everyone’s ‘Super Bowl’. “We prepare the same for every game,” Newton said. “We prepare like it’s a state championship game.” Coach Newton comes to Visalia after four straight Golden Valley Conference titles at Butte College. He’s also brought in his entire staff, including multiple players from last year’s team at Butte. Sophomore guard Jocelyn Media says it was a no brainer to follow Newton to the Central Valley. “There wasn’t s second thought in my mind of staying,” Medina said. “I already had a year with him. I knew what we were capable of.” One of those former Butte players also happens to
