Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson chose to boycott the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference where Trump was speaking, a decision that drew the ire of the president. “Under Johnson’s leadership, they certainly don’t protect people,” Trump told the hundreds of Chicago police officers attending. “It’s embarrassing to us as a nation all over the world, they’re talking about Chicago. Afghanistan is a safe place, by comparison. It’s true....

Speaking at a rally in Lexington, Kentucky on Monday night, Trump performed his usual rigmarole of lashing out at the Democrats over the ongoing impeachment inquiry, and slamming the “fake news” media, as well as discussing 401k plans as they related to marital bliss. “Think of this - in the history of our country, it’s never done better,” he said of the economy. “And by the way, that’s not rich, that’s not poor, that’s for everybody....

“Not at all. He was treated very badly. Nine years recommended by four people that, perhaps they were Mueller people, I don’t know who they were, prosecutors,” the president said in the Oval Office on Wednesday. “I don’t know what happened, they all hit the road pretty quickly.” Hours after Stone’s prosecutors recommended seven to nine years in prison, the DOJ publicly announced they intended to back away from the lengthy recommendation and instead, seek a lower sentence....

Of the 1,500 adults polled nationwide, 63 percent said the president tweets “too frequently.” Asked if they believe his tweets, 38 percent said they believed none compared with 7 percent who said they believed all tweets. The poll, from The Economist/YouGov, was conducted among 1,500 adults citizens, between May 31 and June 2. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percent. In terms of the focus placed on Trump’s tweeting, around a third, 33 percent, said they pay no attention to his posts....

“First snow of the year!” the White House’s official Twitter page wrote, alongside an image of the building surrounded by snow. Immediately after the tweet was shared, hundreds of Americans took to social media to accuse the White House of lying about the snow. “It was 70 degrees today. There is no snow out there,” national security lawyer Bradley Moss tweeted. “Narrator: it’s 53 degrees in Washington DC right now,” Daily Beast editor Molly Jong-Fast added....

Trump’s refusal to concede comes after a tumultuous week of lawsuits that allege widespread voter fraud in key battleground states without evidence. Earlier this morning in a conference call, the Trump campaign reiterated baseless claims that illegally cast ballots were counted in states like Georgia, Pennsylvania and Nevada. Judges in all three states have dismissed lawsuits that would halt the ballot-counting process, citing that there is no evidence to back up these claims....

Just 32 percent of Americans have a “fair amount” or “great deal” of trust in the federal government’s ability when it comes to protecting their families, according to an Axios-Ipsos poll released Tuesday. The number has plummeted 21 percent since March, when more than half of Americans said they had trusted the federal government to have their family’s interests in mind. “Americans at this point, and parents more specifically, can’t be force-fed policies that go against what they think,” Cliff Young, president of Ipsos U....

Tshibaka, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, said during a meeting with supporters that was captured on cellphone video last month that she wants “to make it illegal” to send abortion pills in the mail under a potential criminal act that would allow postal services to block those pills from reaching recipients. Though the GOP candidate, who is running for Senator Lisa Murkowski’s seat in the state’s upcoming midterm election, noted that she needs to think the idea through, she said that the potential act would “prosecute” the recipient, the drug maker, the sender, and the “whole chain there....

Jason Kreis says Orlando City close on center back The broadcast deal also includes a new five-year contract with TVA Sports to provide the country’s French-language broadcasts. “Coming off the record-setting season the league had in Canada, we are excited to announce these new deals with TSN and TVA Sports,” president and managing director of MLS Business Ventures Gary Stevenson said in a press release. “These agreements are a clear indication that our media partners - along with the league and our Canadian clubs - are investing in the growth of the sport in Canada....

CHICAGO — It was a Sunday morning at Wrigley Field and the Cubs were preparing for a double-header. They were taking batting practice and Ernie Banks was in the cage. He took four swings and four balls sailed into the bleachers. Two dipped into the left field stand and the other two high, towering shots dropped well beyond the 400-foot mark in dead center. As the kids in the bleacher’s scrambled for these latest Ernie Banks souvenirs, a mild argument developed behind the batting cage....

Now, an exercise 26 years after the fact: Picture a gangly, 18-year-old with closely cropped hair wearing a stylishly baggy uniform and adidas (adidas!) sneakers, beginning the game on the bench as the Lakers host the Timberwolves. It’s Nov. 3, 1996, a Sunday, and Kobe Bryant eventually enters the game. After a DNP in Los Angeles’s opener two days earlier, Bryant’s highly anticipated NBA debut is measured in minutes, 6:22 to be exact, not points as the rookie goes scoreless, on only one FGA....

The big-league team had shifted its spring training to Daytona Beach, Fla., the week before, but “all eyes were still on Sanford, 40 miles away as the flamingo flies,” TSN reported. That’s where Robinson, 27, and another Black player, pitcher John Wright, came to the spring camp of the Montreal Royals, the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate. That’s when segregation in baseball was broken. Dodgers president Branch Rickey’s “last lecture to his kindergarten class on the eve of the arrival of the pair … was a plea for fair play,” according to TSN....

The Alabama quarterback, once considered a lock for the No. 1 overall pick, now faces intense inspection from media and NFL teams alike on whether he’s worth a high pick, considering his well-documented injury history. The most notable of those is the one that prematurely ended his college career — a combined dislocated hip and posterior wall fracture — but he also suffered an injured hand (2018) and high-ankle sprains (2018 and ‘19)....

Whether Burr’s decision to sell the stocks was influenced by information about the coronavirus has yet to be confirmed, but Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Thursday that Burr, co-author of a February op-ed piece which claimed that the U.S. was “better prepared than ever before to face emerging public health threats, like the coronavirus,” should resign from office and be placed on trial for insider trading. “[Burr] had inside information about what could happen to our country, which is now happening,” Carlson said....

Tulsa County reported a total of 263 new cases from June 5 to 11, a jump from 149 new cases reported from May 29 to June 4, a rise of over 76 percent. The county’s seven-day rolling average of daily cases has been on a sharp increasing trend from June 1 to 11, the Tulsa Health Department reports. While Oklahoma’s stay-at-home order was extended to May 6, some businesses were allowed to reopen from April 24 with restrictions, including dining and entertainment venues and personal care services....

“Marching band? You’ve gotta be kidding. That’s for dorks,” I scoffed when I was a smug high-school coed. A few years later, I soothed my shivering toddler as we watched band after band march past us during a subzero Christmas parade. “Soon,” I promised Karen. “Santa will come by very soon, sweetie.” Every New Year’s Day, the televised Rose Bowl parade seemed less a pageant for flowered floats and horse brigades and more an endless showcase for marching musicians....

As time goes by, though, it becomes increasingly clear that Tunic is actually very different from The Legend of Zelda. A lot of its fundamental game design, from the difficulty of combat to the layout of the world, set Tunic apart from its main source of inspiration. Tunic’s world also looks more and more unique by the day thanks to its aesthetic and some clever storytelling techniques. The newest trailer for Tunic, revealed at The Game Awards 2021 alongside a long-awaited release date, drives home the fact that Shouldice’s game is far from an imitator....

Frank Luntz, who is a pollster and an expert on GOP campaign messaging, told the BBC’s Hard Talk program that the way Trump is framing the law and order debate is alienating many people who might vote for him. Luntz said when the president referred to “law and order”, an image of “police beating up protesters with sticks” sprung to mind. He also took issue with Trump referring to his supporters as “warriors,” which Luntz says is a “violent description” when instead, the average person saw themselves as a “hard-working taxpayer....

News of the layoffs was first reported by CNN and verified by Newsweek through reviews of public records. The employees were part of a group of about 560 employees at the Trump National Doral Miami who had been furloughed at the end of March. In a letter addressed to government officials in Tallahassee, Miami-Dade County and Doral, an official with the organization said the permanent layoffs were necessary due to economic pressures caused by travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders in place around the country....
