Midway through the third quarter, Butler took exception to a foul committed by Warren. The duo got into each other’s faces and needed to be separated. Butler appeared to yell “you’re f—ing trash” toward Warren. Soon after play resumed, Butler threw his shoulder into Warren and was called for an offensive foul.

Some demonstrations in the U.S. over the death of Floyd and other African Americans at the hands of white police officers turned violent. The violent nature of many of the protests caused President Donald Trump to say Monday that he was ready to deploy National Guard troops to states where demonstrations were occuring. Carter issued a statement Wednesday about the protests through the non-governmental non-profit organization, the Carter Center. Since leaving office, Carter has given time to charitable organizations, notably helping build homes for Habitats for Humanity....
The team’s formal decision to let Garoppolo walk followed an Ian Rapoport report on Tuesday that he is expected to be medically cleared after offseason surgery to his shoulder.

It seems Biden has had a change of heart. After all, Biden’s trip comes two years after a presidential campaign in which he pledged to make the Saudis “pay the price, and make them in fact the pariah that they are.” At the time, Biden was channeling the ginned up indignation directed against the Saudis, and MBS in particular, due to the fact that Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi—a Saudi-born journalist who had a falling out with Riyadh and subsequently fell under rival Qatar’s sprawling ambit of influence—was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2018....
As the former Vice President and California senator took the stage, Biden chose to greet Harris with the words: “Go easy on me, kid.” While the 2020 Democratic frontrunner’s quip was likely a reference to the two contenders’ sparring during the first primary debate last month, many on social media condemned the comment as “sexist” and “diminishing.” “Kid? She’s a grown woman Biden,” wrote BAFTA-award winning television writer Dominic Mitchell....

While Biden signed on Friday an emergency determination to speed up the refugee resettlement process, he upheld former President Donald Trump’s cap on refugees, keeping it at 15,000 for this fiscal year. “We will use all 15,000 slots under the new Determination and work with Congress on increasing admissions and building back to the numbers to which we’ve committed,” national security adviser Jake Sullivan tweeted on Friday. Biden had pledged to raise the refugee ceiling in February, but his commitment has been interrupted by increased concerns that masses of migrants arriving at the southwest border have overwhelmed the administration’s ability to process refugees, a senior administration official told The New York Times....

The new AG, yet to be announced by Biden, will take charge in a fraught landscape. An investigation into the president-elect’s son Hunter is underway, with him having announced the U.S. Attorney’s office in Delaware is looking into his tax affairs. Biden has said he has “great confidence” in his son, telling CBS’s Stephen Colbert he thinks the accusations are “kind of foul play.” While there is also the potential of further cases focused on President Donald Trump, in addition to those already underway, with further pressure potentially looming as protections granted to him as the president disappear once his tenure ends....
Analysis by the Tax Foundation said the next highest rates would be found in Hawaii, followed by New Jersey, Oregon and Minnesota.
