These promises didn’t last long. Since the attorney general took office, Garland’s Department of Justice has engaged in one politically motivated action after another, with no end in sight. The evidence is ample: Biden’s DOJ has taken aim at a pro-life law and a redistricting plan in Texas, as well as voter integrity laws in Florida and in Georgia—three states with Republican governors. However, it declined to even open an investigation into the COVID-related deaths at nursing homes in New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan, where Democratic governors ordered that infected patients be admitted alongside those most vulnerable to the virus....

“I don’t live on Pluto, which means I do stay, I think, aware of what happens in the country the best I can,” Breyer said during an interview on CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS that aired on Sunday.

CURRY: ‘I need to play a hundred times better ’ | Photos from the Finals The only real positive for the singer was the fact that the Cavs won. He was supporting the home team by wearing an “All In” T-shirt, but the fanbase didn’t quite feel the same love. Bieber was booed relentlessly when he was shown on the jumbotron. Those boos turned to fists after the game as TMZ Sports obtained footage of Bieber getting involved in a fight....

Justin Hunter and Kendall Wright weren’t overly excited upon hearing those words. They actually didn’t appear excited at all. A video surfaced Thursday of the Titans wide receivers’ reactions, apparently filmed at a Titans draft party.

The 36-hole exhibition, which concludes Wednesday, is for the four major champions of the year. British Open champion Phil Mickelson chose not to play and was replaced at Port Royal Golf Course by three-time major champion Padraig Harrington. Dufner, who won the PGA Championship, opened with a 69. Masters champion Adam Scott struggled late in the wind for a 70. Harrington, who won the PGA Grand Slam last year as an alternate, shot 74....

That group, which includes Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau, accuses the PGA of “(harming) the careers and livelihoods of any golfers … who have the temerity to defy the Tour and play in tournaments sponsored by the new entrant. “The Tour has done so in an intentional and relentless effort to crush nascent competition before it threatens the Tour’s monopoly.” The other nine golfers in the suit are Abraham Ancer, Jason Kokrak, Carlos Ortis, Pat Perez, Ian Poulter, Peter Uihlein, Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones — the latter three of whom seek a temporary injunction to play in the 2022 FedEx Cup Playoff....

Well, to be more accurate, he is just fine with it as long as everyone is using the same ball. What he does like is the extra strategy that has come with this postseason after it became evident the ball wasn’t flying as far. Baseball Prospectus did a great piece demonstrating the difference. In the first game of the National League Championship Series on Friday, there were five or six bunt attempts which have become a foreign thing in today’s MLB....

“It seems like something happens once a game, where a ball just misses a fan and, inevitably, it’s always small kids or women, you know,” Verlander told reporters following Detroit’s 2-0 loss to the Rangers. “It’s just something that needs to be looked at, and hopefully it doesn’t get to the point where something really serious happens before there’s an adjustment made. “Those low-liners, they catch us off guard in the dugout, and we’re Major League Baseball players, and we still get hit....

Detroit on Wednesday put Verlander on the 15-day disabled list with a right triceps strain, retroactive to March 29, and recalled left-hander Kyle Lobstein from Triple-A Toledo. Lobstein will get the start Sunday in Cleveland, an assignment the team had hoped Verlander would be able to handle. Instead, the right-hander will get a bit more time to recover from an injury that cropped up late in spring training. Verlander threw about 40 pitches during a bullpen session Sunday that got mixed reviews from Tigers manager Brad Ausmus....

Jones, who is giving us monthly insight into his recruiting on a USA Today High School Sports blog, mentioned in June that he and Winslow were trying to sell him on the idea of playing together.

Biorou Kean claims that the Serie A champions vowed to provide him with agricultural machinery as part of an agreement to keep the highly rated forward in Turin.

The U.S. State Department announced Thursday that the military was rushing in 3,000 fresh troops to Kabul to assist American personnel in evacuating Afghanistan a few weeks ahead of the planned end to the 20-year war. Michigan Democratic Representative Debbie Dingell, a staunch ally of the White House, responded to Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s repeated line this weekend on cable news that the dramatic departure from the Kabul embassy cannot be compared to the country’s desperate evacuation from Saigon, today called Ho Chi Minh City, in 1975....
