More than 6,000 Haitians and other migrants were removed from an encampment in Del Rio, with Mayorkas saying he expects a “dramatic change” in the number of migrants in the next week as the removal process continues, the Associated Press reported. An investigation is being led by the Office of Professional Responsibility, which said it will deploy personnel full time to monitor the situation in Del Rio. The border town has seen a wave of migrants fleeing their corruption- and earthquake-ravaged country through Mexico....

All service members, federal employees, onsite contractor employees and visitors must now wear a face mask indoors at any installations and other facilities owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the DOD, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen H.

The DOD updated its policies in order to be in accordance with an updated mask guidance issued Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)....

The Foxes slumped to just their second home league defeat of the year following second-half strikes from Kevin Mirallas and Romelu Lukaku. It left Ranieri’s men hovering just above the relegation zone in 16th, in stark contrast to where they spent the first five months of 2016, riding high on the way to a remarkable title triumph. And the Italian manager reflected on a dramatic reversal in fortunes. “What a year....

He must not have realized how it sounded for an NFL employee to call out players for being worried enough about their health and the health of their families to not play the game they love. His perspective that individuals don’t matter in sports is strange considering he made his name as “Prime Time” and “Neon Deion” — an infamously individualistic character who thrived in his own spotlight and added irreplaceable flair to the field....

As you’ve undoubtedly seen by now, Rodgers leaped high in the end zone with no time remaining to haul in a 61-yard Hail Mary pass and give the Packers a stunning 27-23 victory over the Lions on Monday night.

Residents have been warned to seek immediate shelter and avoid Highway 83 and Golf Road. It is understood that the gunman is still at large and news channel CBS 58 reported that the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that two officers have been shot and injured.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials reported that the Delta variant continues to serve as the primary spreader of COVID-19 across the United States, with the strain accounting for at least 93 percent of all sequenced cases, as outlined in recent CDC estimates. According to numbers gathered by Our World in Data, Mississippi ranks as the second-least vaccinated state in the U.S., with just 34.8 percent of the population fully vaccinated....

According to the latest figures, the current seven-day moving average of daily new cases of COVID-19 currently stands at 40,246, a 46.7 percent increase from the previous seven-day average of 22,443. The CDC said COVID cases are on the rise in nearly 90 percent of jurisdictions across the U.S., with outbreaks occurring in parts of the country that have low vaccination coverage. Figures show the current seven-day moving average of new deaths stands at 223, an increase of more than 9 percent from the previous seven-day moving average of 204....

The 28-year-old center, who tore his left quadriceps muscle during the Warriors’ first-round series in mid-April, “has progressed to on-court work,” the team announced Thursday. Cousins, however, is still not ready for “live action.” Cousins suffered the injury when he fell down chasing a loose ball on a fast break early in Golden State’s series against the Clippers. The team was originally not optimistic about Cousins playing again in the playoffs, but he said last week he’s hoping to return....

This year it appeared that Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins would be the biggest snub in the Western Conference. That problem was rectified when Cousins was added to the team on Friday, replacing injured Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, the league announced.

He had three posts all within the same hour that pertained to truths and lies. What’s not clear is what exactly Cousins is trying to prove with the posts.

Kildee raised the issue during an interview with CNN Newsroom following two nights of Democratic debates in his state. The congressman said that candidates had not done enough to address the concerns of his district as the water crisis continues. “I did not hear enough about Flint,” Kildee said. “You know there were references to Flint, but it felt very much like a drive by kind of conversation.” Although the representative said that many of the candidates have visited the city and that is appreciated, he pointed out that “what Flint does not need or want is sympathy....

During the past eight months, the nation has seen the difference a Democratic governor can make. In the absence of science-driven leadership from the federal government during the pandemic, Democratic governors stepped up. Commonsense public health policies like mask requirements, shutting down indoor dining, extending the safety net, and shoring up small businesses have been the hallmark of Democratic leadership in states across the country. Just as they have throughout this presidency, and this crisis, the blue wall of governors may become the only thing protecting Americans against Republicans’ unrelenting attempts to roll back popular, vital policies and precedents like the Affordable Care Act....

Abortion has emerged as one of the top issues voters will face heading into the November midterm elections following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, the case that previously guaranteed reproductive rights to women across the United States. Republicans, who have embraced anti-abortion policies in states like Arizona, are on the defense in battleground races over the issue. Pima County Judge Kellie Johnson ruled Friday that Arizona’s abortion ban, first enacted in 1864, could go into place three months after Roe was overturned....

For Democrats, the aim of the Jan. 6 Select Committee’s “propagandist exhibition” is twofold: First, to attempt (in vain) to distract a besieged citizenry from the myriad problems now tearing asunder the country, under their leadership, in this midterm election year; and second, to lay the foundation for a Justice Department indictment against the 45th president that could hamstring his efforts to seek a second term come 2024. To anyone paying even a modicum of attention—and I’d recommend no more than that—to the committee’s theatrics, it is obvious that the game is rigged....

The serving president’s party usually performs poorly during midterms and while it seems likely President Joe Biden will see major losses this November, it’s not clear just how bad things will be for the Democrats. Polls suggest the Democrats are on course for disappointment and that the party could potentially lose control of both chambers of Congress and see newly empowered Republican majorities stymying Biden’s agenda in the run up to the next presidential election....

Since an underwhelming Peach State rally in March and a handful of failed primary efforts against candidates who stood up to his unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in the state during the 2020 election, Trump has been visibly absent from the battleground state, even as he has kept a constant presence in closely contested races around the country this election cycle. The reason might be strategic, particularly as evidence mounts that his influence tends to alienate independent voters and mobilize Democrats, who have since sought out popular figures like former President Barack Obama to drive turnout and dodge President Joe Biden’s anemic approval ratings among independents....

The USA Today/Suffolk University poll, conducted from October 23 through 27, found that 49 percent of respondents said they were more likely to vote for an unnamed Democratic U.S. House of Representatives candidate than an unnamed Republican candidate. Thirty-nine percent of the likely voters surveyed said they would choose a Republican over a Democrat. The Democratic Party currently holds the majority in the House, 232 to 197.

If Republicans choose to forgo demanding more evidence and testimony, they run the risk of additional damning information coming to light after the trial’s conclusion. But the Democratic managers may have alienated the few moderate Republicans, who’ve yet to decide whether they need more evidence, by giving what GOP senators have characterized as repetitive and lengthy arguments. Just hours before the Senate gaveled in Friday for Day Five of the impeachment trial, ABC News reported new audio where Trump said in 2018 to “take her out” in reference to ousted U....
