Former NFL player Kelvin Joseph facing charges after crash that killed motorcyclist

June 7, 2025

Former NFL player Kelvin Joseph is facing charges for his involvement in a crash that killed a female motorcyclist on a Dallas-area freeway, The Dallas Morning News reported. Police in the Dallas suburb of Richardson said on social media that Joseph, who has been playing in the United Football League this spring, called police in Plano, another Dallas suburb, to report his involvement in the predawn crash Saturday. The 25-year-old Joseph, who was driving a BMW, was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, and collision involving personal injury or death, a second-degree felony. Police said 27-year-old Cody Morris of Plano was killed. Joseph was drafted by the Cowboys in 2021 and spent two seasons with them before he was traded to Miami.

Merab Dvalishvili retains his 135-pound championship at UFC 316 with President Trump looking on

June 7, 2025

Merab Dvalishvili retained his 135-pound championship when he tapped out Sean O’Malley in the third round in the main event of UFC 316 at the Prudential Center. Dvalishvili, a 34-year-old from the country of Georgia, won the belt in a convincing — though not aesthetically pleasing — unanimous decision last year over O’Malley. Dvalishvili had his number in the rematch in front of a packed crowd that included President Donald Trump and retired heavyweight great Mike Tyson. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison tapped out 135-pound champion Julianna Peña with five seconds left in the second round to add another major championship in her fight career.

Travel ban may shut door for Afghan family to bring niece to US for a better life

June 7, 2025

Mohammad Sharafoddin, his wife and young son managed to make it out of Afghanistan as refugees nine years ago, at one point walking 36 hours in a row over mountain passes. Sharafoddin hoped his wife’s niece could follow them to their new home in South Carolina. But President Donald Trump’s travel ban on people from Afghanistan and 11 other countries appears to have shut that door. Sharafoddin says his niece wants to be a doctor, and it is especially hard because she can’t study in her home country under the Taliban, who returned to power in 2021 .

Trump officials are vowing to end school desegregation orders. Some parents say they’re still needed

June 7, 2025

Six decades after the federal government ordered Concordia Parish to desegregate its schools, the district remains racially divided. Black students make up more than 92% of Ferriday High School, while 15 minutes away, Vidalia High is 62% white. Yet state and local officials say it’s time to free Concordia Parish and other districts from court-ordered desegregation orders dating back decades. In a stunning shift that reverses decades of policy, they have allies in the federal government. The Trump administration has vowed to lift more desegregation plans from the 1960s. Civil rights activists say it would leave families with little recourse when they face discrimination.

Tony Awards offer many intriguing matchups in a star-studded season

June 7, 2025

A pair of singing androids. Two Pulitzer Prize-winning plays. A drunken Mary Todd Lincoln. A musical with a corpse as its hero. A “Romeo and Juliet” with teddy bears and rave music. Not to mention George Clooney. Broadway has had a stuffed season with seemingly something for everyone and now it’s time to recognize the best with the Tony Awards. They’re set for Sunday night on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ with Cynthia Erivo as host. Broadway buzz is usually reserved for musical but this year plays powered by A-list talent are driving the conversation.

South Dakota is on track to spend $2 billion on prisons in the next decade

June 7, 2025

South Dakota is on a path to invest $2 billion into its corrections facilities in the next decade as a result of its stringent crime laws. The inmate population is projected to soar 30% in the next 10 years because of recent laws that keep people behind bars for longer. Now the state is expected to make decisions about where these prisons will go and how much to spend. Lawmakers have yet to reconsider the laws driving the inmate population surge or suggest prison alternatives. Without those, experts say the state is sure to run out of prison space soon.

Boulder Jewish Festival proceeds with enhanced security and focus on healing after attack

June 7, 2025

This year’s Boulder Jewish Festival is being reimagined to focus on community healing. That comes after an attack during a weekly gathering of a group that has been calling for Hamas to release Israeli hostages. The cultural celebration kicks off Sunday morning at the popular Pearl Street pedestrian mall — the same location where police say a man yelled “Free Palestine” and threw Molotov cocktails at the demonstrators. The man, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, has been charged with attempted murder and other crimes in a Colorado court. The festival will center the demonstrators’ cause — raising awareness of the 58 people believed to still be in captivity in the Gaza Strip.

With record crowd watching, Sky get blown out by Fever in first WNBA game at United Center

June 7, 2025

The Chicago Sky hosted the Indiana Fever in the first WNBA game at the United Center. It was a big moment even if the result wasn’t what they wanted. The Sky got blown out 79-52 in a game that was moved from the smaller Wintrust Arena even though Indiana was without Caitlin Clark. The 2024 Rookie of the Year missed her fourth straight game because of a quad injury and watched the primetime, nationally televised game from the sideline. The enthusiastic crowd of 19,496 surpassed Chicago’s previous high of 16,444 in 2016 at Allstate Arena in suburban Rosemont, though tickets weren’t hard to find. They were listed on StubHub for as little as $9 a few hours before tipoff.

Cloudy skies can’t dim joy as thousands fill nation’s capital for World Pride parade

June 7, 2025

Gray skies and drizzle gave way to sunshine, multicolored flags and celebrations as the nation’s capital hosted the World Pride parade. Tens of thousands of people participated Saturday in parades and other festivities, in defiance of what activists say is an unprecedented assault on the LGBTQ+ community that challenges the rights many have fought for over the years. World Pride culminates on Sunday with a rally, street protest and concert.

US coach Mauricio Pochettino says ‘We’re going to have the possibility to win the World Cup’

June 7, 2025

A third straight loss didn’t prevent Mauricio Pochettino from thinking big. The U.S. lost its third straight game, wasting an early lead in a 2-1 defeat to Turkey. Coming off a dismal showing in the CONCACAF Nations League, Pochettino was pleased, saying: “We need to compete like today and for sure we’re going to have the possibility to win the World Cup.” Jack McGlynn scored 59 seconds in for the U.S. Turkey took advantage of a sloppy defense as Arda Güler and Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored in a 2-minute, 20-second span midway through the first half.

Phillies place Bryce Harper on injured list with wrist inflammation, no timetable for return

June 7, 2025

The scuffling Philadelphia Phillies suffered a blow when they placed first baseman Bryce Harper on the 10-day injured list because of right wrist inflammation before their game losing to the Pirates. Harper sat out Friday night’s 5-4 loss to the Pirates. There is no timetable for his return. The two-time National League MVP and eight-time All-Star is hitting .258 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs in 57 games. The Phillies are expected to play third baseman Alec Bohm at first while Harper is out, with utility player Edmundo Sosa taking over at third.

Turkey rallies for 2-1 win in friendly against US, which loses 3rd straight under Pochettino

June 7, 2025

Turkey took advantage of a sloppy defense to beat the United States 2-1 in a rainy friendly, dealing the Americans their third straight loss as Arda Güler and Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored in a 2-minute, 20-second span midway through the first half. Jack McGlynn scored 59 seconds in for the U.S., which was missing many regulars as coach Mauricio Pochettino revamped his roster following a dismal performance at the CONCACAF Nations League final four in March. With a year to go before co-hosting the World Cup, the U.S. plays Switzerland on Tuesday, then opens the CONCACAF Gold Cup against Trinidad and Tobago on June 15.

June 7, 2025

The first two games of the Stanley Cup Final have gone to overtime, only the sixth time in NHL history that’s happened and first since 2014. Game 1 went on until Leon Draisaitl’s power play goal 19:29 into the extra period. Marchand put Game 2 to an end with a breakaway goal 8:07 into the second overtime. With the series tied 1-1, both teams will embark on a cross-continent trip from Canada to Florida, enjoying an extra day’s rest between games to recover after a intense start to their championship series.

When the Oklahoma City Thunder get hit, they tend to hit back. Immediately, too. Everybody knows what probably is coming in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night. The Thunder, down 1-0 in the series with the Indiana Pacers, will be raring to go. The Thunder are 17-2, including the NBA Cup final loss, in the next game after a defeat. Those 17 wins came by an average of 17.5 points. The thing is, the Thunder say that’s the way they play after wins as well.

Chicago police officials say an officer killed this week was accidentally shot and killed by her partner after they encountered someone with a rifle when they chased a suspect into an apartment. The officer who died was identified as 36-year-old Krystal Rivera. She is survived by a 10-year-old daughter. In a statement Friday, police say the partner was the only person who fired a weapon at the scene. And they say a squad car carrying Rivera to the hospital crashed and caught on fire Thursday night before she was transported in another vehicle.

2026 races loom at Georgia Republican convention as Trump loyalty dominates

June 7, 2025

Many Georgia Republicans are already thinking about races for governor and Senate in 2026. The state party held its yearly convention Friday and Saturday in Dalton. U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she’s still thinking about a run for governor and gave a speech that centered on state-level issues. Attorney General Chris Carr, a declared candidate for governor, greeted delegates but didn’t give a speech. Another likely candidate for governor is Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. He emphasized his accomplishments and support for President Donald Trump. U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter and state Insurance Commissioner John King both boosted their candidacies to challenge Democratic U.S. Senate incumbent Jon Ossoff.

Film festival showcases what artificial intelligence can do on the big screen

June 7, 2025

Artificial Intelligence’s use in filmmaking is growing. And an annual festival is showcasing what this technology can do on screen today. The third-annual AI Film Festival organized by Runway, a company that specializes in AI-generated video, kicked off in New York this week — with ten short films from around the world making their debut on the big screen Thursday night. “Total Pixel Space,” by Jacob Adler, took home the top prize. Creating a coherent film using generative AI is no easy feat. It can take a long list of directions and numerous, detailed prompts to get even a short scene to make sense and look consistent. Still, the scope of what this kind of technology can do has grown significantly since Runway’s first festival in 2023.

Hamlin undeterred by ruling siding with NASCAR in lawsuit filed by Jordan-owned 23XI and Front Row

June 7, 2025

Denny Hamlin says he is unfazed that a three-judge federal appellate panel vacated an injunction that required NASCAR to recognize 23XI, which he owns with Michael Jordan, and Front Row as chartered teams as part of an antitrust lawsuit. NASCAR’s FireKeepers 400 is Sunday at Michigan International Speedway. Hamlin says Jordan feels the same way. NASCAR has not commented on the latest ruling. 23XI and Front Row sued NASCAR late last year after refusing to sign new agreements on charter renewals. They asked for a temporary injunction that would recognize them as chartered teams for this season.

A US territory’s colonial history emerges in state disputes over voting and citizenship

June 7, 2025

A criminal case in Alaska involving nearly a dozen people born in American Samoa is highlighting concerns about birthright citizenship and voting by people who are not U.S. citizens, issues that have been prominent in the early months of President Donald Trump’s second term. Alaska is not the only state where confusion over voting by American Samoans has surfaced in recent years. It’s an issue that traces its roots to colonialism in the South Pacific. American Samoa is the only U.S. territory where residents are not automatically granted citizenship by virtue of having been born on American soil.

Federal authorities arrest dozens for immigration violations across Los Angeles

June 7, 2025

Federal immigration authorities say they arrested 44 people Friday across Los Angeles. The detentions prompted clashes outside at least one location as a crowd gathered in protest. Demonstrators massed outside a federal detention center demanding authorities release the detainees. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says the arrests were designed to “sow terror” in the nation’s second largest city. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office says a judge had issued a search warrant for one business related to the employer using fictitious documents for its workers. The arrests come as the Trump administration ramps up immigration arrests to fulfill President Donald Trump’s call for mass deportations.

Mass in the past: Josh Hines-Allen and his Jaguars teammates slim down in hopes of turning up

June 7, 2025

Josh Hines-Allen tipped the scales like never before in 2024. The seventh-year pro beefed up to 285 pounds at the behest of former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen, whose “mass kicks ass” motto was a mainstay during the offseason and in training camp. It was catchy — and ultimately consequential. Hines-Allen and several defensive teammates swelled past the point of stout, and it showed on the field. The Jaguars ranked 31st in the NFL in total defense last season. With Nielsen gone, so is the weight. Hines-Allen and several defensive teammates have slimmed down in hopes of turning up their performance this season.

Trump’s tariffs could pay for his tax cuts — but it likely wouldn’t be much of a bargain

June 7, 2025

The tax cuts in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill would likely gouge a $2.4 trillion hole in the federal budget. The president has a patch handy, though. His sweeping levies on imports – the tariffs that have disrupted world trade, shaken financial markets and created uncertainty for businesses – would probably plug the gap, raising enough money to pay for all or most of his income and business tax cuts. That’s the budget math anyway. Actually using import taxes – tariffs – to finance a big chunk of the federal government would be a painful and perilous undertaking, budget wonks say.

Trump’s big bill also seeks to undo the big bills of Biden and Obama

June 7, 2025

Chiseling away at President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. Rolling back the green energy tax breaks central to President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. At its core, the Republican “big, beautiful bill” is more than just an extension of tax breaks approved during President Donald Trump’s first term at the White House. The package is an attempt to undo, little by little, the signature domestic achievements of the past two Democratic presidents. House Speaker Mike Johnson says Republicans are going “to do what we said we were going to do.” But the bill’s spending cuts pointed at the Democratic-led programs are causing the most political turmoil.

What it would take to convert a jet from Qatar into Air Force One to safely fly Trump

June 7, 2025

President Donald Trump grew impatient with how long it was taking to finish new planes to serve as Air Force One, so he started to look for other options. He found one in a luxury jumbo jet that Qatar was willing to sell — and now may be turning into a divisive gift. Assuming legal issues around the transfer are resolved, the next question is how long it will take to refurbish the Boeing 747 for presidential travel. That could span years and cost billions of dollars, meaning he might not get to use the plane during his term. If he’s in a rush and wants to cut corners, it’s a matter of how much risk he’s willing to take.

As a generation of gay and lesbian people ages, memories of worse — and better — times swirl

June 7, 2025

As World Pride wraps up this weekend in Washington D.C. the older LGBTQ+ generation can sometimes find a hard time fitting in among the after-parties and DJ sets. Advocates warn of a quiet crisis among retirement-age LGBTQ+ people and a community at risk of becoming marginalized inside their own community. The older LGBTQ+ population can often suffer from chronic loneliness and isolation; they’re less likely to be in contact with their families and less likely to have children to help care for them. And the national debate over transgender protections and drag shows can also break down along generational lines inside the community.
