Trump told reporters that he was aware of 29 states that were in “very very good shape” and could potentially reopen quickly. While the president said he would leave the final decision of when to reopen states up to governors, Trump stated that some states would be able to reopen “maybe even before the date May 1st.” “We have one country but lots of different pieces,” Trump said. “We have beautiful states with beautiful governors....

Trump skipped his daily White House coronavirus briefing on Easter Saturday as the U.S. overtook Italy to become the country with the highest death toll from novel coronavirus in the world. But he called in to Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News on Saturday night, and claimed that the nation’s economy will see “a tremendous surge” once restrictions put in place to curb the spread of the virus are lifted and Americans head back to work....

Nordean, who is accused of aiding in the organization of the violent raid on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, is scheduled to appear in court this week alongside four other members of the white nationalist group, including the organization’s chairman, Enrique Tarrio. The five defendants, who maintain their innocence, will make their opening statements on Tuesday, according to court records. On Friday, however, Nordean’s attorneys filed a request to remove roughly 30 exhibits from the trial that were submitted by the U....

The video was posted by The Good Liars, a comedy duo made up of Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler, who regularly pose as Republicans to prank high profile figures and Trump supporters. In May 2020, they questioned a Trump supporter about voter fraud, who then admitted to committing it herself in the 2016 election, in a video that has been viewed more than 630,000 times on Twitter, 80,000 on Instagram, and 190,000 times on TikTok at the time of writing....

Some remarks denounced the National Basketball Association (NBA), which embraced social and political activism this year, which prompted the rally’s attendees to engage in an antagonistic chant about LeBron James, who’s one of the biggest sports stars on the planet. After Trump shared an extended spell of criticisms targeting media outlets, interspersed with claims that his presidency contributed positively to broadcast viewership, he took aim at the NBA and gave particular focus to James....

Firearms patent and trademark attorney Ben Langlotz revealed he had “scooped” Hogg in an April 5 post on his website titled “how I taught a Harvard Boy a lesson about trademarks.” He said: “I was surfing Twitter one evening in February when I ran across a story about David Hogg’s new scheme.” The scheme Langlotz referred to was Hogg’s February 9 announcement on Twitter that his and co-founder William LeGate’s planned company name would be Good Pillow....

While the vast majority of COVID-19-related hospitalizations and deaths have involved unvaccinated individuals, the rising number of cases has prompted some legislators to reinstate mask requirements, a guidance that could be in place nationwide. “We tried the honor system. It failed,” Adams told CNN’s New Day on Tuesday. “We know just by looking around us in communities that there are many more people going without a mask than the statistics show are vaccinated....

In a 75-page brief, the former president’s defense team continued its central argument that the upcoming trial should be dismissed out of hand as unconstitutional since Trump no longer occupies the Oval Office. “In the past, Congress has acknowledged and exercised its duty to not impeach when an official is no longer in office,” the brief reads. “In the case involving the impeachment of President Richard M. Nixon, Congress decided not to impeach because he resigned from office....

Trump sat for an hour-long deposition on Wednesday, reportedly invoking his Fifth Amendment right not to answer questions more than 400 times. The investigation involves the valuation of Trump’s assets, and whether the former president’s business, the Trump Organization, misrepresented the stated valuations of some of its real estate assets for financial gain, including better terms on loans and insurance, as well as tax benefits. Tristan Snell, the managing partner of mainstreet....

Comments from Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, one of the companies with a candidate in Phase III trials, fueled Trump’s aspirations, but the head of Operation Warp Speed, the administration’s plan to produce 300 million vaccine doses by the end of the year, is skeptical that results will be had in October. Moderna, a company working on another top vaccine contender, dismissed the possibility a vaccine could be ready before the election....

“Our border is now totally out of control thanks to the disastrous leadership of Joe Biden,” Trump said in a Friday statement. “The spiraling tsunami at the border is overwhelming local communities, depleting budgets, crowding hospitals, and taking jobs from legal American workers,” he added. “When I left office, we had achieved the most secure border in our country’s history. Under Biden, it will soon be worse, more dangerous, and more out of control than ever before....

The former White House director of communications also told CNN on Thursday night that his old boss had “alienated a tremendous amount of people” over the past four years as he forecast a victory for Democratic nominee Joe Biden in less than two month. The Quote “There’s a combination of factors, and ultimately I think my old friend [former White House Chief Strategist] Steve Bannon is going to be correct....

Zverev outdid world number one Rafael Nadal on Monday but could not match the speed, power and precision shown by Tsitsipas, who has made the semi-finals on his first appearance in the season-ending tournament. A break on Zverev’s final serve of the opener put the 21-year-old in control, with another concession of serve from the world number seven following at the start of set two. With victory firmly in his sights, Tsitsipas did not let up as he charged on to serve out a dominant triumph in just 75 minutes....

Arthur Daley, sports columnist for The New York Times, covered the event whose golden anniversary we celebrate this week as if it were just another game. Seemingly oblivious to the larger significance of what was unfolding before his eyes, Daley wrote: “The debut of Jackie Robinson was quite uneventful, even though he had the unenviable distinction of snuffing out a rally by hitting into a remarkable double play. His dribbler through the box in the fifth should have gone for a safety....

As is custom, college athletes have a tendency of gassing up fellow alumni, so Tua Tagovailoa’s praise of his successor at Alabama, Mac Jones, should come as no surprise. Speaking on a Yahoo Sports podcast, Tagovailoa weighed in on Jones’ prospects in the NFL and heaped some heavy praise in the process. “I would say he’s a sly kind of athletic person,” Tagovailoa said. “He’s a more mobile Tom Brady....

As soon as Tua’s head slammed to the ground, he suffered a concussion and laid still with his fingers placed in awkward positions. He was ruled out of the game and was admitted to the Cincinnati Area Hospital. After Tua’s injury, backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater resumed the game for the Miami Dolphins. How long is Tua Tagovailoa out after the week 4 injury? Tua Tagovailoa is under observation and is now out of danger....

Cavani – out of contract at the end of the season – came off the bench in PSG’s 2-0 Ligue 1 victory against Nantes on Wednesday. The 32-year-old, who has been linked to MLS outfit LA Galaxy, David Beckham’s Inter Miami, Serie A champions Juventus and LaLiga side Atletico Madrid, was an 87th-minute substitute in Paris midweek.

"I don't think that should be our goal," Rodgers said this week.

Carlson told his primetime audience on Wednesday evening that it was “galling” to be “lectured” by people with congressional pensions about potential American sacrifices, questioning whether the Republican senator had done anything to improve Americans’ lives. Graham had warned on Tuesday that gas and food prices would rise if Russia invaded Ukraine and compared President Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler in the 1930s. Carlson—who delivered a lengthy defense of Putin on Tuesday evening and has previously been accused of spreading Russian propaganda—showed a montage of lawmakers talking about Ukraine on Wednesday’s show....
