Upton used some strong words in her statement, including “disgrace” and “horrific,” so people quickly caught wind of her post. A photo posted by Kate Upton (@kateupton) on Sep 11, 2016 at 4:12pm PDT And in response, Twitter reminded her about something on which her uncle, Fred Upton, the U.S. Representative for Michigan’s 6th congressional district, voted. MARVEZ: What stood out in Week 1 And as for Foster, he had this to say after the game about why he kneeled during the anthem on 9/11: “They say it’s not the time to do this....

“I was surprised, yes, but also, no, in the sense that Rex is open-minded,” Smith said on “The John Murphy Show” in Buffalo. “Rex and I have worked together for a number of years so I know him pretty well. We have a good working relationship and he’s very loyal to people who work with him and people who he values what they do.” MORE: 11 women who are pioneers in NFL diversity | Best and worst places to coach in the NFL...

On Saturday, the Georgia Republican took to Twitter to lash out at COVID safety measures, stating that hundreds of thousands of people die from cancer in the U.S. each year but the country has “never once shut down” over the disease. Greene’s tweets drew backlash online, with a number of detractors criticizing her for appearing to suggest that cancer is contagious. And Griffin—who recently announced that she’s cancer-free, four months after revealing her Stage I lung cancer diagnosis—counted herself among Greene’s critics....

Jackson appears to be on course to become the first Black woman to a serve as a Supreme Court justice, after Republican senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney announced that they would be backing her appointment. However, South Carolina Republican Senator Scott revealed on Monday that he wouldn’t be breaking party ranks to vote in favor of President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court pick, as he criticized her “record of judicial activism....

The WBA/IBF lightweight champion will face WBO lightweight champion Rose Volante in a title-unification bout at Temple University’s Liacouras Center in Philadelphia during St. Patrick’s Day weekend on March 15. Taylor (12-0, 5 KOs) defeating Volante (14-0, 8 KOs) would bring the Irish sensation one step closer to being crowned undisputed champ of the division. From there, a fight with WBC titleholder Delfine Persoon would seem imminent, with a mega bout pitting Taylor against seven-division champion Amanda Serrano as a blockbuster way to end 2019....

Symptoms Acutely, the symptoms of Kawasaki disease include high fever, rash, redness of the eyes, swollen lymph nodes in the neck area, red palms and soles, swelling of the hands and feet, and tachycardia (rapid heart rate) that is out of proportion to the degree of fever. These kids are generally quite sick, and their parents usually recognize the need to take them to the doctor. This is a good thing since making the right diagnosis and treating the child early on with intravenous gamma globulin (IVIG) can be very helpful in preventing long-term cardiac problems....

The 27-year-old star will decline his $21.3 million player option for 2019-20, according to a report from Yahoo Sports, which cites unidentified league sources. Leonard, however, is “seriously considering re-signing” with the Raptors and they’re viewed as the “favorite to land” him, the report says. Leonard almost singlehandedly carried the Raptors to their first title in franchise history this season. He averaged 30.5 points in the playoffs, was named the Finals MVP and helped the team avoid elimination by knocking down a crazy bouncing buzzer beater in the fourth quarter of Game 7 against the 76ers in the second round....

Just weeks ago, Leonard became only the third player in NBA history to win a Finals MVP with multiple teams after leading the Raptors to their first title in franchise history. In doing so, he made one of the most memorable shots in playoff history — see Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals — and justly moved into the discussion of being the league’s best player after averaging over 30 points a game with a 62 percent true shooting percentage in the playoffs, something only six other players have done since 1984....

The subpoenas to Miller and McEnany, who previously served as White House adviser and press secretary respectively, are based on alleged false statements they made regarding baseless claims of voter fraud. Also on Tuesday, both Miller and McEnany—along with Jared Kushner and Kellyanne Conway—were among a group of Trump officials accused of violating the Hatch Act by a watchdog group. Among those also issued subpoenas were former Trump personal assistant Nicholas Luna; Molly Michael, special assistant to the president and Oval Office operations coordinator; Benjamin Williamson, who served as deputy assistant to the president and senior advisor to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows; former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Christopher Liddell; former White House Personnel Director John McEntee; Keith Kellogg, who served as former Vice President Mike Pence’s national security advisor; Cassidy Hutchinson, who was special assistant to the president for legislative affairs; and Kenneth Klukowski, the former senior counsel to Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark....

The National Security Committee said Monday the situation has now been “stabilized and is under control” after violent protests damaged parts of the country. The protests began on January 2 after the government lifted its price cap on fuel. The cost of liquefied petroleum gas, which most people in Central Asia use for their vehicles, nearly doubled in price immediately, NPR reported. Demonstrations broke out across the country as people were dissatisfied with the government in general but were outraged over the fuel prices skyrocketing....

KCON 2019 LA is four days celebrating Korean pop culture. Not just K-Pop, but Korean TV dramas, movies, fashion and food are all represented at the convention. But the big draw is the massive concert. Conducted over two evenings—Saturday, August 17 and Sunday, August 18—eight bands will perform each night. The concerts begin at 8 p.m. PDT at the Staples Center. Though the artists have been announced, the order of the lineup will remain a surprise....

In late February, the Biden administration published an intelligence report that confirmed what the world had long suspected: Mohammed bin Salman—often dubbed MBS by fans and critics alike—personally approved the 2018 killing of Khashoggi. Some activists hoped that the definitive report would lead to direct sanctions on the Saudi crown prince. But in early March, the White House announced it would “recalibrate, not rupture” its relationship with the desert kingdom....

Thank God for stumblebum spies. Ames could easily have encrypted his CIA secrets, foiling our best high-tech sleuths. That fact goes to the heart of a debate roiling the Clinton administration: the proper balance between privacy and public security in the dawning Digital Age. The problem is that the explosion of electronic information and instant communication creates enormous opportunities for abuse. A new generation of sophisticated techno-bandits will soon be prowling the information Highway, armed with technologies that will increasingly help them elude detection....

The former Michigan State basketball star and NBA participant was arrested early Saturday morning for carrying a concealed weapon, according to the New York Daily News. This is Appling’s second concealed weapon charge in less than two months. MORE: The most heinous crimes ever connected to athletes Appling, 24, was arrested at Hanna Street and 7 Mile Road (near Detroit) around 1:30 a.m., according to Detroit police. Not only was Appling just arrested for a similar charge, he was set to face a hearing for the weapons and drug charges from the May arrest outside a suburban Detroit strip club....

On Wednesday night, Lee will take on rival Dominic Dijakovic and NXT North American Champion Roderick Strong in a triple threat match. Despite the match not being originally planned, Lee looks forward to the spotlight. “Let me be quite clear, I don’t plan to squander [this opportunity], and I’m going to make the most out of it as I possibly can,” Lee told Newsweek ahead of his title bout. “It’s an opportunity that I’ve been looking for and what I’ve been talking about....

She appeared on CNN on Thursday morning to discuss the impeachment hearings against Trump. Almost two months after Democrats in the House of Representatives launched an inquiry, public hearings began on Wednesday and were expected to continue through Friday. In his final and admittedly “sensitive” question during the interview Blitzer asked Conway to share her thoughts on her husband’s Wednesday night comments on MSNBC. He prefaced the question by characterizing it as political and substantive and noted he didn’t want to get into her marriage, which he said he knew “has issues....

While the senator’s re-election campaign started offering rolls of paper patterned with his face for donations over $25 last week, the Democrats launched their own sale Monday, offering gift wrap featuring the phrase, “Just Say Nyet to Moscow Mitch.” The tagline refers to McConnell’s infamous nickname. McConnell’s campaign gained attention for the quirky branding, which was festooned with the senator’s likeness wearing a holly bow-tie and a Santa hat. Many shared their surprise at the gimmick from the conservative legislator....

On the day he laces up his sneakers and walks onto the court at the Joe Craft Center, his new teammates will have gone through about 60 practices, so it’s fair to say Diallo will be more than a little bit behind the others. In fact, it’s fair to say that even if he carried Michael Jordan’s talent into the program, which he does not, it would be a stretch to expect him to contribute to UK’s pursuit of the 2017 NCAA championship....
