Police were pursuing Kevin Brown, 22, who was driving up to 70 miles per hour and weaving through traffic. Brown put others in danger, nearly hitting passing cars and running multiple red lights. Brown eventually fled his car on foot, after hitting a police car, and attempted to take shelter in Davis’ home. When police entered the home, Davis was shot by an officer. Police claim they were aiming at Brown, who appeared to be drawing a weapon....

Until now, some might say. President Joe Biden’s deepening classified document scandal has no current arrow that points directly to an impeachment or resignation drama, but in a year that will feature countless moving parts shaping both the Democratic and Republican presidential fields for 2024, it is worth an early assessment of what kind of political damage the president is suffering—and what lies ahead. Let’s stipulate that there is a Republican chorus eager to whip this to maximum gravity already, as Democratic defenders dismiss such cries as opportunistic politics while doing their best to minimize the growing crisis....

A new report published Thursday by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found the $7.25 minimum wage has lost roughly one-fifth of its value since July 2009, after adjusting for inflation. The value of minimum wage in 2009 would be equivalent to $9.17 per hour today. Minimum wage hit its peak in 1986, according to EPI, as it would be worth $11.12 in today’s dollars. “That’s a really remarkable finding, that more than 50 years ago we paid the lowest wage workers in this economy substantially more than what we pay them today,” Ben Zipperer, an economist at EPI, told Newsweek....

The statement came after Dehli’s chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, called for a pause on flights from Singapore to India, claiming that the new strain is “extremely dangerous for children.” Kejriwal added that the new variant could result in a third major coronavirus outbreak, at a time when India is already struggling to contain infections. The claims were also reported in articles published by the Indian news outlets Hindustan Times and NDTV, according to CNA....

In the wake of Ben Roethlisberger’s season-ending elbow injury, which elevated second-year backup Mason Rudolph to the starting role, Pittsburgh acquired … disgruntled defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick from Miami to pad its secondary. (The Steelers also got a fourth-round pick in 2020 and a seventh-round pick in 2021.) The Dolphins received a first-round pick in next year’s draft in addition to a 2020 fifth-rounder and a 2021 sixth-rounder in the deal to bolster their inevitable rebuild....

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was forced to leave a protest outside his home led by the Black Visions Collective, a group seeking to defund U.S. police departments in favor of community-based safety measures. Chants of “Black Lives Matter,” “shame” and “get the f**k out” were aimed at the mayor, after he declined to say he would completely abolish the Minneapolis Police Department in the wake of George Floyd’s May 25 death....

The outdoor activities now permitted are golfing, fishing, boating, hunting and hiking, all of which were halted during the state stay-at-home order that was issued to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Karimi, 32, was arrested in January, shortly after he made the threatening phone call and claimed the voicemail was meant to cause “political pain” and not “physical pain.” Facing potentially years in prison, Karimi changed his plea from not guilty to guilty on Thursday and is set to be sentenced at a later date for the charge of interstate communication of a threat against a U.S. Representative. The 32-year-old’s voicemail to the unnamed member of Congress told them to be “as scared as possible, terrified, sh–ting your pants....

In the live broadcast, Jimenez could be seen reporting on protests before pausing as state patrol officers appeared to pursue a demonstrator. The journalist, who is black, is then seen speaking with state patrol officers directly, as he identified himself and his crew—including a producer and a camera operator—as journalists. He then tells the officers the team would be willing to relocate if their location is an issue. Eventually, Jimenez resumes reporting, when a state patrol officer tells him he is under arrest....

Sure, that’s true when one is between the pipes and play heads up the ice or is being dominated by your team at the other end. But then there are the moments when you’re not just idle in net – you’re sent away entirely. Such was the case Thursday night for Minnesota Wild netminder Devan Dubnyk. Given the night off, he was relegated to a spot in the tunnel, with the Wild’s bench at the Montreal Canadiens’ Bell Centre unable to fit the visiting team’s backup....

With Miranda, Marquinhos and Thiago Silva seemingly guaranteed a place at the big show, one slot is still up for grabs. And there has been no shortage of applicants. Tite’s former Corinthians stopper Gil had his opportunity but, despite impressing early on, struggled against Argentina in June’s Brasil Global Tour clash in Melbourne and seems to have fallen out of favour.

The pair, off form for swathes of the season and central subjects of criticism as the club’s ambitions slipped from a title challenge to a top-four chase, proved decisive again. Can must make LFC show him the money Ahead of the first whistle, as the rain and wind swirled outside L4, the emphasis wasn’t on the players available, but those absent through injury. Henderson, Roberto Firmino, Dejan Lovren, Daniel Sturridge and Danny Ings were missing from the matchday squad through varying issues, with Marko Grujic still working his way back to full sharpness....

A sophomore at Mississippi State, Perry scored 11 of the first 21 points for the United States junior national team on the way to a 28-point performance that delivered a comfortable 95-80 victory over Russia and a spot in the FIBA U19 World Cup semifinals.

About 52 percent of Missouri’s adults are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and the state’s lottery program appears to be an effective incentive, helping to drive up inoculations. However, the concept of vaccine requirements still faces pushback, with several health care workers walking out of their jobs in protest and state senators looking to ban businesses from requiring the shot as a condition of employment. “Americans shouldn’t have to live in some dystopian biomedical security state and I’m going to do everything I can as Attorney General to protect the rights of individuals,” Schmitt tweeted Thursday, adding the hashtags “NoMaskMandates,” “NoVaccinePassports” and “NoLockdowns....

On Monday, a state arbiter will hear arguments from both sides in Planned Parenthood’s fight to stop state officials from shutting down its abortion clinic in St. Louis, Missouri. The facility is currently the only medical abortion clinic still operating in the state. However, earlier this year, Missouri health officials refused to renew its license, asserting that the clinic had failed to meet state standards. According to Reuters, officials had made the determination after conducting mandatory interviews with several physicians who were involved in what the health department deemed to be “life-threatening” abortions performed at the clinic....

State voters approved the expansion in an August 4, 2020 vote by a margin of 53.2 to 46.7 percent. The vote added an amendment to the state constitution making Medicaid available to people between the ages of 19 and 65 as long as their income is at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty level. The expansion would cover an estimated 230,000 individuals and has a July 1 deadline for implementation....

Especially not one who went 0-for-3 in finding one who’d stick. So did Mike Alden, with such a history, choose the safe route? No, he did not. He is hiring Kim Anderson, who has not recruited a high-major player in any year that begins with a “2”. Anderson, who’ll be 59 in May, built a powerhouse Division II program at Central Missouri, winners of the 2014 NCAA championship. Anderson is a former star player at Mizzou and was an assistant coach for eight years under legendary Norm Stewart before leaving to join the Big 12 Conference as director of basketball operations....

The team had initially indicated the 22-year-old star would be sidelined for a minimum of four weeks after his injury, but Marner returned to practice on Monday, about one week earlier than expected.
