“We’ve worked hard on this and they’re making a mockery out of it [the lawsuit] right now on Facebook and stuff, the media over here, the attack media,” Lindell said during his Thanks-a-Thon livestream on Sunday. “You know how many people have worked hard giving up everything they had because they know this country is gone?” Lindell asked, adding, “I’m frustrated. I’ve had it.” Former President Donald Trump also targeted the media on Sunday for its reporting on his election fraud claims....

In a video uploaded to a static webpage acting as a placeholder for the so-called social media service—which is pitched as a mixture of YouTube and Twitter—he said that while the website will let users speak their mind, some restrictions will apply. Lindell said: “You don’t get to use the four swear words. The C-word, the N-word, the F-word or God’s name in vain. Free speech is not pornography, free speech isn’t ‘I am going to kill you,’ it is very well defined in our mission statement....

Trump and his allies, such as Lindell, continue to claim that Biden only won the last presidential election due to “widespread fraud” or “hacking” of election machines. Although many supporters believe the conspiracy theory, no evidence has emerged corroborating the allegations. Lindell has been one of the key promoters of the false claims—traveling around the country to host and attend large events where many Trump supporters largely believe the misinformation....

In a segment on Lindell TV, shared to Twitter by PatriotTakes, the businessman discussed the $1.6 billion lawsuit recently filed by MyPillow against Dominion Voting System and the $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit filed against MyPillow and Lindell by Dominion in February. “It’s over for Dominion, it’s too late to close the gate, the cows are out of the barn,” Lindell said. “Dominion, you did your best to take our country through China, you did your best, you corrupt people....

Miami led 30-0 when Tagovailoa exited in the third quarter. He played two drives after halftime. Coach Mike McDaniel and his staff figured they could get him some rest in what was turning into a blowout. But Houston scored 15 unanswered points in the fourth quarter as Miami’s offense failed to generate any push with Tagovailoa out. The Dolphins won 30-15, but McDaniel took the blame after the game for the offensive issues....

During the conference, Pence, who is leading the White House Coronavirus Task Force, urged Americans to use a new website providing updates and general information on coronavirus, including the latest health and safety guidances from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Coronavirus.gov, Pence said, could be trusted to provide “practical information for every American” on how to prevent catching and spreading COVID-19. However, during the same briefing, Pence also said that both he and Trump were unlikely to follow the very first recommendation in the CDC’s guidance on how to keep the “workplace safe” amid the coronavirus outbreak: “Stop handshaking....

“The down judge . . . felt that it was his judgment, and he (receiver Alshon Jeffery) was close enough,” Pereira, now an analyst for Fox Sports, told the Talk Fame Sports Network. “Well, he wasn’t. They lined up wrong.” The play has been the subject of ongoing confusion, largely due to the vague nature of the rule. Seven players must be on the line of scrimmage, but it is left to the officials’ judgment to determine if a player is on the line....

“We got the emails. We’re getting them out. We’re going to get all this information out so the American people can see it,” he said on Friday. While Pompeo didn’t specify which emails he was referring to, Clinton has drawn controversy in the past for using a private email server for official public communications during her tenure as Secretary of State. “You’ll remember there was classified information on a private server—should have never been there....

Former Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said he told his former quarterback, who recently signed with the Browns, to choose a team that had an offensive philosophy that accentuated his skills and didn’t rely too much on making throws from the pocket. MORE: Cleveland is NFL’s scariest QB graveyard | Browns, Griffin seek return to relevance “I [told him I] want you to know what your capabilities are,” Shanahan said Wednesday on ESPN 980....

Brown tweeted in mid-May a thought about his NFL future. Namely, he wants to retire as a member of the Steelers. MORE: Stephon Tuitt explains retirement from Steelers It makes sense that Brown would want to do that. His post-Pittsburgh career has been marred by controversies both on and off the field, so perhaps he believes returning to the Steelers and Mike Tomlin could help him out. That said, Tomlin categorically ruled out Brown playing for the Steelers again while appearing on The Pivot Podcast....

MORE: Twitter reacts to Jake Paul’s knockout victory Tyson and Jones showered each other with compliments after the exhibition, and no one got hurt, which was a real concern before they met in the ring. “I was afraid I might get hurt,” Tyson said. “I didn’t fight in 20 years. [Jones] only stopped fighting for three years. Why nobody care about my ass?” Both guys left the door open for a rematch, though that may have just been the adrenaline talking....

To explain why he shot the 3-pointer, Smith later said he believed the team was down by two points. That Smith was unaware of time and score is not earth-shattering, but it's pretty wild that his coach has defended Smith and questioned Beno Udrih, the player who made the pass. Speaking to reporters Sunday, Woodson dismissed Smith's blunder and asked why Udrih would pass the ball to Smith in that instance....

“Unofficial visit.” Those were Bridges’ exact words. … He was in eighth grade then. MORE: Top 16 college basketball programs since 2000 So Bridges is no stranger to precocity. That he scored 21 points in his college basketball debut Friday night in a 67-65 loss to Arizona in Honolulu might have been jarring to those who’d yet to see him — especially that crazy reverse dunk that nearly broke the floor a little more than 3 minutes in — but this is what Bridges has done throughout his not-yet-very-long life....

The U.S. Marshal Service announced on Wednesday that they had raised the fugitive status of Jacob Blair Scott and are offering a reward of up to $25,000 for any information that leads to his arrest. He is considered armed and dangerous. Scott, 43, is facing a 14-count indictment that charges him with sexual battery, touching a child for lustful purposes, and exploitation of a child, the U.S. Marshals said in a news release....

An embryo’s breasts begin to develop during the fourth week of the gestation period. The milk lines themselves appear by the sixth week. They arch down from the armpit to the groin on both sides. As the breasts continue to develop along the ridge over the chest, these lines eventually disintegrate, usually by about week nine of fetal life. Occasionally, milk lines will persist and may be connected to extra breast tissue and extra nipples....

For a study published in The Astronomical Journal, the researchers calculated that there was an upper limit of 0.18 Earth-like planets per G-type main sequence star—stars like our sun. “Our Milky Way has as many as 400 billion stars, with seven percent of them being G-type. That means less than six billion stars may have Earth-like planets in our Galaxy,” astronomer Jaymie Matthews, a co-author of the study from the University of British Columbia, Canada, said in a statement....

The fallout from last year was impressive. Rabbis who were on the list, having memorized their ranking and, in some cases, issued press releases, proceeded to pretend they didn’t care. Jewish blogs and regional Jewish papers weighed in, argued and nitpicked. One commentator called the list “definitely meaningless” and “fairly accurate.” Another critiqued the machers for not including the late Rabbi Menachem Schneerson who, though deceased, is believed to be the messiah among many members of the Lubavitcher sect....

Millionaires aren’t exactly rare in high-tech land. But this has to be the first time employees have averaged $1 million-plus in option profits at a company the size of Microsoft, which has about 24,000 staffers, about 21,000 of whom have options. And it’s not Bill Gates’s zillions making the average artificially high. Chairman Bill and his second in command, Steven Ballmer, already own so much stock ($38 billion and $8....

Elisabeth Bumiller must be one of the bravest journalists around, and not just because she’ll calmly curl up for the night with a water buffalo snorting near her bed. A Washington Post writer who accompanied her husband, Steven Weisman, to India when he became a correspondent there for The New York Times, Bumiller set herself a daunting assignment: a portrait of Indian women–all 400 million of them. Few subjects offer so many pitfalls for Westerners, who are likely to be charged with either sentimentality or cultural imperialism depending on their conclusions....

Tens of thousands of fans waited outside Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee for a large street party to watch the game on big screens, and they went wild when the final buzzer sounded for Milwaukee’s 105-98 win. This was the lowest-scoring game in the series. Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, a 6-foot-11 power forward who was the league’s back-to-back MVP following the 2019 and 2020 seasons, led the Bucks with 50 points and a game-high 14 rebounds....
