A statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office Eastern District of New York released on Thursday detailed the September 22 incident. Jordan Nixon, 21, Janessa Torres, 21, and Johara Zavala, 44, were supposed to be on a Delta flight to San Juan, Puerto Rico, but appeared too intoxicated to board. According to the New York Daily News, prosecutors said the flight had been delayed from morning to midday, so the three women killed time by ordering nine drinks at an airport bar....

The 28-year-old center, who suffered a torn left quadriceps in the Warriors’ shocking Game 2 loss to the Clippers earlier this week, will not need surgery, coach Steve Kerr told reporters Wednesday. Cousins is still unlikely to be back on the court in the playoffs, Kerr said, but the team isn’t ruling him out just yet. “DeMarcus, most likely, will not be back during the playoffs,” Kerr said. “You’re probably looking at a couple months’ recovery, so it’s unlikely....

The attendant violence isn’t new, either. I’ve seen white police officers beating marchers demanding the vote as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala. I saw rocks thrown at children integrating schools. Closer to home, my childhood eyes saw cops viciously beat a neighbor while arresting him for outstanding parking tickets. I heard his cries, saw his head bleeding and saw their red faces twisted in rage. It was Derek Chauvin’s white rage: casual murder, delivering 9 minutes and 29 seconds of torture—simply because he could....

With the president’s much heralded pledges to lower emissions still fresh in the memory, the auction will allow oil companies to bid for 80 million acres of federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico. “This sale is the antithesis of the hard work we all put in to re-establish our nation’s leadership on the climate change issue after four years of disengagement on the world stage by the previous administration,” said Rep....

Let this fact sink in as you watch what Democratic leaders and the propaganda media are promoting across the country. Unlike some Democratic politicians, the American people know that getting rid of police creates a vacuum that predators will fill. This is exactly what is happening with the growing disaster in Minneapolis. In fact, the trouble in Minneapolis is a case study of the results of the radical Democratic policy of protecting criminals, hating police and endangering law-abiding citizens, which I write about in my new book, Trump and the American Future....

Following his address on Monday evening, where he discussed potentially deploying the military to tackle unrest at demonstrations across the nation, Trump visited St. John’s Church, which was damaged by a fire lit during protests. After saying he wanted to pay respects to “a very, very special place,” Trump walked out of the White House gates with his security and stood outside the church to be photographed while holding a bible....

The announcement came on Tuesday, as the Department of Education sought to provide clarification on how funding in the $2.2 trillion CARES Act stimulus package, which was approved by Congress last month, could be used to support college students. In a fact sheet released on the emergency relief fund, the department made clear that grants could only be given to students who are eligible for federal aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act, thereby excluding students who are Dreamers, who are able to live, study and work in the U....

Turnout was also up slightly in the contested governor’s race, while DeSantis ran unopposed. But one grassroots group sees troubling signs within the turnout data, and worries about what it could mean for the general election in increasingly red Florida if Democrats don’t take the right lessons from the results. Mi Vecino, a group created in the wake of the 2020 election to turn around Democratic fortunes in the state, has raised $1....

Republican incumbents facing tough re-elections races in Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky, Maine and North Carolina all raised significantly less cash than their Democratic rivals in the first three months of 2020. These contests are some of the best opportunities Democrats have to flip the seats and regain the Senate majority in November. They’re rapidly becoming some of the most expensive and contentious matchups in the country. In Kentucky, for example, the multi-million dollar ad war between Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Amy McGrath started 16 months before Election Day....

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) both voiced their desire for more action to be taken under the Biden administration, as they commented on the latest agreement. A joint statement from the pair said: “The emergency relief in this agreement, the second largest in history only to the CARES Act, is an important first step that Democrats look forward to building on under the new Biden-Harris Administration to meet the remaining needs of the American people during this historic health and economic crisis....

In the survey, conducted from March 2 to 3, about 48 percent of Democratic respondents said they washed their hands more often to prevent transmission of the virus, 10 percentage points higher than the same share of Republicans. Twenty-one percent of Democrats reported taking steps to avoid physical contact with others, 7 percentage points higher than Republicans who report the same. And 8 percent of Democrats have recently altered travel plans, nearly three times the share of Republicans who have also done so....

The Drug Policy Reform Act (DPRA) would decriminalize personal use possession of all scheduled drugs—including marijuana, heroin and cocaine—and automatically expunge records and provide for resentencing for those serving time for certain drug-related arrests. It would also prohibit the denial of employment, immigration status, public benefits, voting rights, and more based upon a criminal history for drug possession. The legislation, proposed by Reps. Cori Bush of Missouri and Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey, also called for the country to address substance abuse with more health-centered approaches....

Vaccine administration ultimately resumed, and police department officials, as well as California Governor Gavin Newsom, confirmed that all those scheduled to receive doses would not have to wait additional days for them. “CA is working around the clock to provide life-saving vaccines to those on the frontlines of this pandemic,” Newsom wrote on Twitter Saturday evening. “We will not be deterred or threatened. Dodger Stadium is back up and running....

Toronto FC and the LA Galaxy are the only teams to have three players making more than $1 million. At $6.695 million in guaranteed compensation this season, the 31-year-old just beat out international teammate and Toronto FC star Michael Bradley, who is the second highest paid MLS player at $6.5 million. Bradley's teammate Jermain Defoe is at $6.18 million, and the top five was rounded out by LA Galaxy teammates Landon Donovan at $4....

In 1986, during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, then-Senator Biden spoke on immigration during a Senate session for the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. talking about it as something that was stitched into the American fabric. He supported legalization, as many in Congress did on both sides of the aisle, because it would “move a growing underclass living in the shadows into the daylight of citizenship and opportunity.” He said it would allow these immigrants to “become full participants in our society, not just the object of our concern....

Span was one of the most productive leadoff hitters in the game before his injury, boasting a .304 batting average with five home runs, 22 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. Unfortunately, the 31-year-old has been plagued by chronic back pain throughout most of the season, and his latest setback has unsettled him.

The gunfight between the pirate’s vessel and the HDMS Esbern Snare left four dead, three captured and one wounded. No Danish soldiers were injured during the fight. The vessel was assumed to have ties to piracy after a Seahawk helicopter reported seeing men with “equipment connected to piracy, including ladders.” The Danish government decided to release them rather than bring them to Denmark to face preliminary charges of attempted murder for the November 24th fight....
