More than 50 legislators are backing a bipartisan relief package that was unveiled on Tuesday, one of the few bipartisan plans to be proposed since the CARES Act passed eight months ago. If passed, it would provide much-needed aid to businesses and people who are unemployed, whose crucial benefits are set to expire at the end of the month, as well as end a months-long stalemate between Democrats and Republicans....

Senator Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican, announced in January 2021 that he would retire and not seek reelection in 2022. GOP Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania similarly announced in October 2020 that he would not run for another Senate term. While Toomey voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial and Portman condemned Trump’s actions in that case, GOP candidates backed by the former president narrowly won their primaries to face off against Democratic contenders on November 8....

Although Graham called Raffensperger’s claim “ridiculous” and said he merely asked the secretary about the signature verification process for mail-in ballots, Democrats still blasted Lindsey over Raffensperger’s accusation. Democratic Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib wrote, “So basically asking him to commit voter fraud. I see.” Democratic Georgia Senatorial candidate Raphael Warnock wrote, “Every legally cast ballot must be counted. We should all agree on that and stand up to defend our democracy....

DeSantis, who is very talented at picking at culture war scabs, continues to increase his profile by serving as Trump-Lite, without the “lite part.” Not content with aping 45’s mannerisms and intentionally donning ill-fitting suits like a sun-drenched Kim Jong-un, DeSantis is trying to lift Trump’s entire governing philosophy wholesale—circus over substance every time, preferably with as much performative cruelty as the law allows. But Democrats aren’t exactly outfoxing the GOP on an issue that has bedeviled the country for two decades....

The resolution, a symbolic measure not often used against a sitting president, states that Congress “condemns the President of the United States for ordering Federal officers to use gas and rubber bullets against the Americans who were peaceably protesting” in Lafayette Square, a small park on the north side of the White House. The text goes on to accuse Trump of “violating the constitutional rights of those peaceful protestors” because officials used forcible measures, including tear gas, smoke canisters, rubber bullets and riot shields, to quickly disperse the large crowd so the president could walk to the historical church across the street for a photo op with a Bible....

But abortion rights advocates fear not enough attention is being given to how the impact of the decision will ripple around the world. The landmark 1973 decision in Roe, which legalized abortion nationwide, has long been used as a basis to strengthen protections for abortion in other countries. Advocates fear much of that progress could be undone, and that Roe’s demise will lead to an erosion of abortion rights around the world....

In a video posted to Twitter Tuesday evening, the outgoing commander-in-chief called on Congress to more than triple the amount of the $600 direct payments included in a $900 billion stimulus passed Monday to $2,000—checks that were pared back by Trump’s own negotiators and congressional Republicans. The eleventh-hour demand has put Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in an awkward position....

This suggests that while former Vice President Joe Biden may be reigning in the polls, the Democratic electorate is far from tethered to their first choice. Notably, Biden and independent Senator Bernie Sanders registered as two of the most all-or-nothing candidates, those whose supporters were much more inclined to say their enthusiasm did not extend to anyone else. The supporters of Senators Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, on the other hand, were at least 78 percent likely to say that several other candidates in the field excited them....

Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr., Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chair Rep. Diana DeGette, Communications and Technology Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Mike Doyle, and Consumer Protection and Commerce Subcommittee Chair Rep. Jan Schakowsky wrote to Zuckerberg on Tuesday, demanding more information on Facebook’s anti-extremism measures. The letter cited multiple reports that even Facebook staff were concerned about the “rapid spread of extremism and disinformation” on the platform, but their fears were ignored by Zuckerberg and other executives....

A group of Republican members of the House Armed Services Committee wrote Biden a letter blaming him for a lack of planning that led to “the horrific events currently unfolding in Afghanistan,” while expressing concerns that Afghanistan could soon become an incubator for terrorism and possibly lead to a new 9/11-style attack. “We remain gravely concerned the void left in Afghanistan will be rapidly filled by terror groups,” reads the letter signed by ranking GOP committee member Rep....

While not yet finalized, the articles are expected to face a vote from the full House next week. More details are expected in a news conference due to take place Tuesday morning.

But I think we’re doing what we have to do. We’re doing what the Constitution mandates that we do....

Eriksen dropped to the turf and stopped breathing in the first half of the Group B encounter, which originally kicked off at 17:00 on Saturday in Copenhagen. The 29-year-old eventually regained consciousness after receiving on-field CPR before being sent to hospital, with both sets of players subsequently giving the green light to resume the match at 19:30 rather than wait until 12:00 on Sunday. What’s been said? Denmark went on to lose 1-0 courtesy of Joel Pohjanpalo’s 59th-minute header for Finland, who were making their first appearance at the European Championship....

The student had recently returned from Portugal, and even after not feeling well, he continued to work in the school’s dental clinic, according to The Gainesville Sun. The student was then tested on March 9 and received a positive result on March 12. Though the college suspended clinical activities on March 12, the student was treating patients up until then. “I was asked to hold off on a global communication by the college and UF, because it complicates how to university must response as they are still trying to get a handle on this moving target,” the student wrote in an email to The Gainesville Sun....

With the football team standing as the No. 3 seed in the playoff and the basketball team ranked No. 1 in the polls, what could go wrong?

In an already notorious moment of the 2022 Oscars ceremony, Will Smith strode up on stage and slapped Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about the former’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Rock, who was on stage to present the Best Documentary award, said he could not wait for “G.I. Jane 2,” a reference to Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. In 2018, Pinkett Smith had shared with the public that she had alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss....

Sadly, this was all a joke. Tim Howard is not the Secretary of Defense. But on Wednesday, the standout goalkeeper did receive a phone call from Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, thanking him for his effort during the 2014 World Cup.
