Early in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game between the Celtics and Pelicans, the New Orleans shooting guard drove toward the basket and drew a foul on Boston rookie Aaron Nesmith. Redick, who had picked up a technical foul on the previous possession for arguing about a no-call, threw the ball in the direction of referee Josh Tiven and walked away without appearing to say anything.

The Portuguese international, who joined the club from Benfica last year, has been a key presence for Diego Simeone’s side since his arrival, helping them on both domestic and European fronts. He was instrumental in his side’s defeat of Champions League holders Liverpool in March, helping Atletico seal a quarter-final berth in the continent’s premier competition. However he may now miss the season restart after picking up a low grade medial collateral ligament sprain in his left knee during training, as players step up their work ahead of the hoped-for completion of the current campaign....

Buckley hit a spinning back kick to flatten Impa Kasanganay in the second round of a preliminary bout on the Fight Island 5 card Saturday in Abu Dhabi. The middleweight from St. Louis raised his lifetime record to 11-3 with eight knockouts. “He was coming hard, he had heavy pressure, so I said,’ Why not just throw it?’ And I got it. I landed,” Buckley said in his postfight interview in the Octagon....

White House press spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre has denied the president had any advanced notice of the operation, but that claim was dismissed by the ex-president’s son. The FBI’s “unannounced” raid is believed to have been part on an ongoing investigation into Trump’s handling of official papers. Speaking on Fox News, without providing any evidence, Eric Trump said: “I know the White House as well as anyone, I spent a lot of time there, I know the system, this did not happen without Joe Biden’s explicit approval....

Kennedy spoke to Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Friday about Biden and Yellen’s support for changes to an inheritance tax policy called the stepped-up basis, which limits the payable tax on an inherited asset that has appreciated over time. The Louisiana senator opposes changing the stepped-up basis and heavily criticized the Biden administration, warning that its proposed changes would “maul the real estate market.” Forbes Advisor explains that “any asset left to an heir has its basis, or the price upon which all increases in value are calculated for tax purposes, stepped up to its present value at the time someone inherits it....

During the call, Biden pressed his Moscow counterpart on the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the SolarWinds hack that affected U.S. government networks and reports that Russia had placed bounties on U.S. troops in Afghanistan, among other key issues of concern. Biden also asserted that the U.S. and Russia should quickly come to an agreement to extend a major arms control treaty that is set to expire in February....

The former vice president held the nearly hour-long event to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on women. Despite facing increasing pressure to address Reade’s allegation amid new developments, the former vice president did not speak about it. In March, Reade accused the presumptive Democratic nominee of shoving her up against a wall and penetrating her with his fingers when he was serving as a senator from Delaware. The alleged assault happened in 1993, when Reade was working as a staffer in his office....

Trump on Tuesday announced that he had called off negotiations aiming to secure a bipartisan COVID-19 relief package, insisting he would instead look to push one through after the election—should he win. Biden criticized this call and said he feels the nation “desperately needs” further such support. “Donald Trump ended the efforts to pass bipartisan relief that our nation desperately needs,” Biden said. “He ended talks that would get help for businesses and schools, for families struggling and for those unemployed, that would have preserved hundreds of jobs....

Republicans on Thursday ended Democratic control of Virginia’s House of Delegates in the elections, winning enough seats to achieve at least a 50-50 tie in the chamber. The upset for the Democrats will likely see Republicans take control of Virginia’s House of Delegates. GOP candidate AC Cordoza scored a surprise victory against incumbent Democratic delegate Martha Mugler in the 91st district race on November 3. AC Cordoza said in an interview with Newsmax that Mugler’s campaign went downhill after Biden endorsed the 21 Democratic Virginia house candidates on October 19....

The president was given a Guard of Honor at Windsor Castle and the U.S. national anthem was played. However, Biden kept his dark glasses on as he put his hand up to his chest standing alongside the 95-year-old monarch. The faux pas came shortly before he joined Elizabeth for tea in the world’s oldest occupied royal castle alongside first lady Jill Biden. However, the queen did not appear to react badly, sharing several moments of laughter....

Speaking at a town hall meeting in Milwaukee hosted by CNN, the president said the U.S. would have enough doses by the end of July. This is a more optimistic announcement from Biden, who last week warned that logistical and distribution problems could prevent many Americans from getting a jab by the end of summer. So far, more than 55.2 Americans have received the vaccine, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention....

On Wednesday, the Roman Catholic president marked the beginning of Lent by receiving the sign of the cross on his forehead in ashes. The ash is placed on the forehead by a priest or minister, with Biden telling reporters that his were applied by Cardinal Wilton Gregory, the archbishop of Washington D.C. Traditionally, the ashes come from the burning of palms used on the previous year’s Palm Sunday. The ashes are then blessed before being used in the ceremony....

In the week before the holiday weekend, Biden saw the passing of a massive omnibus spending bill geared largely towards his priorities, staved off an awkward rebuttal of his border policy from members of his own party and delivered a speech on foreign policy that was generally met with praise. And despite a tumultuous year that saw a starkly high disapproval rate, Biden has pulled his favorability back up and is likely capping off his second year in office with the same approval that he began 2022 with....

The president said that as part of the mandate all employers with more than 100 employees must ensure their staff are vaccinated against COVID, or that they take weekly tests. Companies who don’t comply with the law could face fines of as much as $14,000 for each violation. Biden has also announced that all healthcare workers and federal contractors must get vaccinated, meaning that the stringent new vaccine rules could apply to more than 100 million people, around two-thirds of the American workforce....

Thursday marks the milestone, which often seen as a critical point in any president’s first term and shows what priorities became the administration’s focus. Biden entered the White House after with a stunted transition period because of a lack of cooperation from the Trump administration, as Donald Trump refused to concede the election, and because of the pandemic. His start was further complicated because Democrats hold razor-thin margins of control in the U....

Biden authorized the release of 50 million barrels of crude oil from the reserve on Tuesday in a coordinated effort with other nations, including India, China and Japan, with India alone releasing 5 million barrels from its stockpile. However, experts who spoke to Newsweek suggested that the effect of tapping the SPR could be limited and pointed to volatility in energy prices as well as the relatively modest amount of crude oil in question....

Pritchett’s autobiography, My Mess is a Bit of a Life, recounts a conversation she had with then Vice President Biden when she spoke to him at the White House as part of research for the show. Biden has often made reference to his Irish ancestry and it appears this was a factor in his mother’s attitude toward the English. Catherine Eugenia Finnegan—who was known as Jean—was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania into a family with strong ancestral links to Ireland....

The offhand comment led to a rise in Google searches on the Democratic candidate’s daughter, as well as reactions on social media. While her brothers get all the attention—whether it’s the late war veteran, Beau, or Hunter and his past substance abuse problems and what may or may not be on his old laptop—now Joe’s youngest child can enjoy some of the spotlight. America, meet Ashley Biden: social worker, activist, philanthropist and fashion designer....

On Wednesday, Zelenskyy became the second European leader to visit the White House under Biden’s presidency in a Washington, D.C., trip during which he has pushed for U.S. military support for Ukraine as it continues to face Russian-backed separatists in the east of his country. During Wednesday’s talks, Biden told Zelenskyy that the U.S. backed Kyiv’s “sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russian aggression,” although would not give any further details regarding Ukraine’s wish to join NATO....

Newsom, a Democrat who has been California’s governor since 2019, is locked in a battle over a Republican-led attempt to remove him from office. The election will take place next Tuesday. Vice President Kamala Harris, who represented California in the U.S. Senate and previously served as the state’s attorney general, will travel to the San Francisco Bay Area to campaign for Newsom on Wednesday. In a tweet last month, Biden urged voters to reject the recall attempt, calling Newsom “a key partner in fighting the pandemic and helping build our economy back better....
