The 2020 presidential candidate joined several others campaigning for the Democratic nomination on Friday in Iowa, and the California senator had some harsh criticism for one of the current front-runners, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, regarding the latter’s connections to corporations. “We’re all here to fight to end that national nightmare called Donald Trump. And to win, Democrats. To win,” Harris said during her speech at the Iowa Democratic Party’s Liberty And Justice Dinner....

That was Bill Self’s first season with the Jayhawks. They finished 24-9 and reached the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. Kansas then reeled off 14 consecutive seasons with at least a share of the regular-season conference championship, a run that ended Tuesday when the Jayhawks were eliminated from title contention with an 81-68 loss to Oklahoma. NCAA BRACKET PROJECTIONS: Where are the Jayhawks seeded? The last time this happened was March 2, 2004, when Oklahoma State clinched the Big 12 championship....

According to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI), 2,000 of the kits have already been tested, with the remaining 235 to be tested by the end of the month. Some kits date back decades, authorities announced Tuesday. The testing has established 373 biological profiles from the evidence produced; when they were entered into a DNA database they resulted in 243 hits, which may provide breaks in cases long unsolved. Two of the processed kits have already resulted in convictions, and one more in an acquittal at trial....

Increasingly, Ye’s only base of political support is among a far-right fringe, as evidenced by his newfound friendship with white supremacist Nick Fuentes. But even that last remnant of support might be in jeopardy, now that Ye has proven himself to be just what the Right usually deplores: a massive snowflake. Ye went viral again Monday night after appearing on “Timcast IRL,” a wildly popular YouTube show hosted by Tim Pool....

“Twitter and Instagram (Meta) continuing to give Ye a platform is irresponsible, fuels hatred and damages the welfare of Jewish communities across the globe,” Liora Rez, executive director of StopAntisemitism, said in a statement. “StopAntisemitism calls on Ye to publicly apologize for his comments, and for Meta and Twitter to permanently suspend him from their platforms.” The controversy around West’s social media activity began last week after he appeared at a Paris fashion show wearing a shirt that read “White Lives Matter....

However, her legal challenges to an election she claimed was rife with fraud and other issues appear to be going nowhere. On Wednesday, the Arizona Supreme Court denied Lake’s direct appeal of a December decision throwing out her case against state and county election officials, saying the former television news anchor first needs to go through a lower appeals court before reaching the state’s highest court. “No good cause appears to transfer the matter to this Court,” Duty Justice John Lopez IV wrote in a two-page decision denying the effort....

Lake, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, and is a 2020 election denier, is currently behind Hobbs by just over 26,000 votes with around 93 percent of the ballots accounted for, according to the Associated Press tally. While Lake managed to cut Hobbs’ lead by around 10,000 following a ballot count on Sunday, experts have suggested that Lake will not be able to overcome Hobbs’ lead with around seven percent of votes left to count....

Riding his motor scooter through the dark streets of Srinagar–the summer capital of the disputed, Indian-ruled region of Kashmir–Dar was attacked by “unidentified gunmen” wearing masks. They shot Dar in the back and left him for dead. Taken to hospital, he survived for two days, then succumbed to his wounds. The psychological shock from that single event–one of some 60,000 killings in 13 years of conflict in Kashmir–continues to eat away at Dar’s family and friends....

Hunt offered her views on what the unsuccessful attempt to remove the Democratic governor meant and focused her analysis on criticism of Democrats and a discussion of what the party needed to do going forward. This view was not well-received among Twitter users, including other journalists, who publicly criticized Hunt’s take and suggested she didn’t actually understand the situation in California. Hunt’s Twitter thread began: “CA GOV BIG PICTURE: One of the top Democrats in the country got caught living like an elite while everyone else suffered....

Meghan made the revelation during the Sussexes’ six-part Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, which contained a number of royal bombshells including that William screamed and shouted at his brother during a heated meeting at Sandringham House in 2020. Since the docuseries’ release in December 2022 and the publication of Harry’s tell-all memoir in January, a number of viral videos about the royals have circulated on social media. The latest shows Kate and William at a round of royal events, with Kate calling out to her husband to catch his attention....

The Duchess of Cambridge is famous for releasing her own pictures of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to mark their birthdays. And as a future queen, you might expect her apartment at Kensington Palace and country retreat of Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, to be spick and span all year round. However, Kate, 38, who is patron of London’s National Portrait Gallery, believes tidying up can kill the magic of photography....

The duchess is the royal patron of the 1851 Trust, a charity that provides science-based experiences for young people through sport, science and technology, including sailing. On Sunday, the royal joined a group of children taking part in the charity’s climate and environmental program titled Protect Our Future. For the engagement, she wore a nautical outfit of a navy and white breton-striped sweater from favorite brand Erdem and a pair of white tailored high-waisted shorts from the brand Holland Cooper....

Speaking Thursday on the Today show, Hochul was not as clear when asked about the potential impeachment of outgoing Governor Andrew Cuomo, who will leave office on August 24 in the wake of a state attorney general’s report that said he sexually harassed multiple women. “I don’t believe it’s my position to weigh in on that situation,” she said. However, Hochul said Wednesday at a press conference her governing style will be different, noting that “no one will ever describe my administration as a toxic work environment....

She said one of her top priorities is to “get this state working again” without distractions, saying she will lead a change in New York’s political culture “with accountability and no tolerance for individuals who cross the line.” “It’s very simple. We’ll focus on open, ethical governing that New Yorkers will trust,” she said. Hochul said she is directing an overhaul of state policies regarding sexual harassment and ethics, requiring that all ethics training will be done live, instead of letting people “click their way through a class....

In her new memoir, Going There, Couric admits that she edited out part of Ginsburg’s comments about kneeling for the national anthem that the justice made during an interview in 2016. Ginsburg had said anthem protesters showed “contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life” in remarks that were not included in the published story by Yahoo! News....

However, the former politician’s staff are said to be “disappointed” by the move, claiming that Hill is “not a hero for women.” The Handmaid’s Tale star is trying her hand at a biopic, which will be based on Hill’s forthcoming book “She Will Rise: Becoming a Warrior in the Battle for True Equality.” “I am so honored to have the opportunity to portray Katie and to help tell her story....

Whether it was the two-minute rounds or that the contest was closer than it seemed, there is a desire for the two to duke it out once again. Perhaps these two are destined to do this forever. Or at least two more times. Earlier in the week, Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn was asked about a possible rematch. He was already imagining a homecoming fight for Taylor. “I just think it would be very disappointing if (Taylor) never got the chance to go to Ireland and let her have that moment,” Hearn said, via RTE....

Leonard’s emergence certainly isn’t unexpected. In 2014 he became the youngest player not named Magic Johnson to be named NBA Finals MVP, and he followed that up by becoming the first perimeter player since 2004 to be claim the Defensive Player of the Year Award. Nonetheless, Leonard finally has become the captain of the ship for the Spurs, and he has established himself as one of the leading candidates for MVP along the way....
