"Unfortunately, I cheated on him. We had been together for eight months. He is feeling very hurt by it — and that’s why we recently broke up."

"I’d like to get back together, but when we see each other — and we do — he doesn’t kiss me or show affection. He claims it’s due to him struggling with the pain I caused him."

CBS’s Chief White House Correspondent Nancy Cordes suggested that Healey’s name has been floated as a possible US attorney general candidate during the show. When asked if she would be interested in it she dodged the question.

“I’m focused on doing everything I can to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in November. It will be good not just for Massachusetts; it will be good for America,” Healey said.

Across New England, the number of DC fast chargers is up 54 percent since the end of 2022. In Massachusetts, there are 908 fast chargers, up from about 585 during our previous trip. Tesla has opened its proprietary Supercharger stations to some other brands, starting with Ford and Rivian. And charging prices are up — way up in some cases.

The goal was to log a full day on the road in a Tesla Cybertruck and a Rivian SUV — but no road trip is complete without some sugary pit stops.

Boston’s rental season culminates on Sept. 1, the date that, by some estimates, two-thirds of leases in the city turn over and the reason why “Allston Christmas” has become a sort of civic holiday. And at a time when it seems like the whole city is moving, rents are going up, too.

Already one of the country’s priciest rental markets, Boston is seeing rents keep climbing even as other cities cool off.

More than three years later, federal authorities have drawn a shockingly different conclusion that calls into question the competence — or worse — of the initial investigation into Sandra Birchmore's death.

On Wednesday, federal prosecutors announced their investigation had found what many of Sandra Birchmore’s friends and family always believed: Matthew Farwell allegedly killed Birchmore and then staged her body and apartment to make her death look like a su***de.

The wild-card race doesn't look interesting, writes Peter Abraham. The Red Sox are the only American League team that has a chance of breaking into the tournament, as manager Alex Cora likes to call it.

Four of the six divisions remain very much in play as the season hits the homestretch, as are the byes into the Division Series.

"Wicked Tuna" being canceled has been unwelcome for many in Gloucester, particularly the captains, who had no desire for the show to end and say they’ve received no explanation from the network as to why it was canceled.

The network, in a release announcing the end of the show, did not give a reason, and instead thanked the cast, fans, and Gloucester community.

Eudy’s big money-earning days were relatively brief, his career essentially terminated in January 2001 with a jump from the turnbuckle gone wrong.

After months of haggling, Lifespan on Thursday signed a purchase agreement to take over St. Anne’s in Fall River and Morton Hospital in Taunton from bankrupt Steward Health Care for $175 million.

Roger Williams Medical Center and Our Lady of Fatima Hospital, owned by Prospect Medical Holdings, could close. Here’s why Rhode Island’s largest health care system is looking to Taunton and Fall River instead.

As we begin meteorological autumn, there’s still plenty to be done outside, including around the yard and in the garden. Some of what needs to be done this time of the year is quite mundane while other things can bring a lot of pleasure. If you haven’t put out a hummingbird feeder it’s still not too late.

Here’s some advice on planting seeds, bulbs and caring for those perennials.

Earlier this year, allegations of disgraceful living conditions at Franklin Field drew the attention of the state’s attorney general, who sued the authority, the city’s largest housing provider, over its handling of a tenant’s complaints about a unit at Franklin Field infested with mice and mold.

Residents of this sprawling public housing community complain of broken door locks, loose faucets, caved-in shower walls, among a slew of other maintenance requests.

Every summer, a new generation of doctors descends upon the Boston area’s renowned teaching hospitals, providing care to patients for the first time. They are armed with years of medical education but lack on-the-ground experience that turns novice practitioners into experts.

Infectious diseases, shortages, and political attacks on health care are adding complexity to their already demanding lives.

With the MBTA’s longest shutdown so far quickly approaching, the agency has seemingly dodged the once routine barrage of complaints from riders.

While women make up only a tiny fraction of the country’s armed forces, their service is vital. With tens of thousands of men reportedly recruited every month, women have stepped up as crucial operations from coal mines to territorial defense forces accept them to fulfill traditionally male roles.

Women are joining the ranks of Ukrainian mobile air-defense units to shoot down drones as more men are drawn to the battles on the eastern front line.

The Boston accent isn’t easy to master, with its distinctive lack of the letter “R.” Boston Globe Today enlisted the help of Dorchester native and reporter Emily Sweeney to ask Globe staffers and everyday Bostonians about their favorite — and least favorite — Boston accents on screen.

It’s hard to get a Boston accent right, and locals can spot a fraud from a mile away.
