Now that President Joe Biden occupies the White House with a new COVID plan, Democratic governors could find themselves more politically exposed than at any point in the past year, as blaming the federal government or Trump for any further delays to vaccine deliveries may fail to wash with voters, or put them on a collision course with party leadership. Previously, Democratic governors were quick to point the finger at the White House when questions were raised about the pace of COVID-19 vaccine rollouts in their states....

Kaine, who sits on the U.S. Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, criticized the country’s decision to veto United Nations Security Council resolutions calling for a cease-fire across Gaza. The former 2016 Democratic vice presidential nominee was pressed by MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell Tuesday to explain why President Joe Biden hasn’t pushed for an immediate cease-fire amid growing civilian casualties. “I called for a cease-fire right away because that’s what the United States does,” Kaine replied when asked if Biden is doing enough to address the violence in Gaza....

Van Hollen joined several Democratic senators in expressing tacit support for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s demands that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hold a “fair trial.” Van Hollen warned on ABC News’ This Week program Sunday that President Donald Trump cannot be exonerated through acquittal if the Senate trial is “rigged” and no additional evidence or witnesses are allowed to be brought forth. He said he ultimately believes Pelosi has been “very clear” she intends to have a trial sooner or later....

Under the CARES Act, unemployment benefits were boosted by $600 per week to assist the millions of people losing their jobs during the coronavirus pandemic. Republican proposals, put forward by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), suggest cutting this down to $200 through September before switching to plans to replace 70 percent of a recipients previous wage from October. The 70 percent plan was previously discussed by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who said “we’re not going to pay people more money to stay at home than work,” after suggestions the $600 flat rate did so in some instances....

Greene, who has publicly promoted QAnon conspiracy theories and made baseless claims about the Sandy Hook school shooting and 9/11, in addition to anti-Semitic and Islamophobic rhetoric, was named to the House Education and Labor Committee and the House Budget Committee. Democrats have been enraged by the congresswoman’s behavior, which has also included supporting violent threats against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats prior to her election. On Monday, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer gave House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy an ultimatum....

Every Republican member of the Senate Banking Committee has called on Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to abandon the idea, in a letter signed by 25 senators led by John Thune of South Dakota, Mike Crapo of Idaho and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.

The Demon’s Souls PS5 remake is considered one of the most graphically stunning next gen games released so far, so it may be easy to understand why its existence could be putting pressure on Elden Ring developers. Blue​​​point’s take on the original Soulsborne game served as a PS5 launch title and received widespread acclaim for its visuals, which helped raise the bar for next-gen console games.

Let’s face it, nobody wrote about postwar family life the way Shirley Jackson did. Margaret’s little tale is typical: a beautifully nuanced account of domestic tranquillity suddenly subverted by mysterious horror. Jackson, who died of a heart attack at 48 in 1965, also produced lighter reports from the domestic front in her dryly witty, semiautobiographical books “Life Among the Savages” and “Raising Demons.” Both sides of this extraordinary imagination are represented in a welcome new collection, Just an Ordinary Day (388 pages....

Showing opposition to Newsom’s administration, a banner was seen flying over the demonstration in Sacramento which depicted the governor as Adolf Hitler. Video of the sign was posted on Twitter by Sacramento television station KCRA....

Cruiserweight king Usyk will face Chazz Witherspoon in his first heavyweight fight in Chicago on Saturday. Watch Oleksandr Usyk vs. Chazz Witherspoon on DAZN Usyk this week stated a bout with Wilder is the one he wants most, but the WBC champion does not believe the 32-year-old is big enough to ruffle feathers in the heavyweight division. “He’s not a threat to me,” the American told Sky Sports. “He’s too small for me....

Join DAZN to watch Anthony Joshua vs. Andy Ruiz Jr. on June 1 The Good — Deontay Wilder’s hands of steel. The WBC heavyweight champion had about two years of hatred built up inside of him leading into Saturday’s title defense against Dominic Breazeale.

On Monday, August 15, a Reddit user reposted a Twitter thread from June 28 that read: “Amber Heard’s friend Rami Sarabi helped the Aquaman actress fake a #BlackLivesMatter photo.

Player-coach Rooney is in line to debut against Barnsley this week, formally completing a January transfer from DC United, but his new side had largely struggled in the Championship in his absence until Monday’s improved display at Pride Park. It was a player 16 years Rooney’s junior who made the difference with his first senior goals, the opener a brave, stooping header after just 10 minutes. The hosts were dealt a blow when ex-Charlton loanee Krystian Bielik was shown a straight red card for an awful, late lunge on Conor Gallagher, but the 10 men remained in control and Knight steered in a clinical left-footed finish with 13 minutes remaining....

The Wolverines are 7-0 since following Saturday's 77-70 win over No. 3 Wisconsin at the Kohl Center—a place where few road teams win. Which begs two questions: Is Michigan somehow better off without McGary in the lineup? And what’s been the secret to the Wolverines’ success in the past seven games? MORE: SN’s midseason All-Americans | Scoreboard Answering the first question is easy. No, they aren’t better off. If Michigan had a healthy McGary to start the year, they probably wouldn’t have lost all four of the games currently in their defeats column....
