A’ja Wilson shocked at becoming first WNBA player with a 30-20 double-double

August 10, 2025

There was only one way Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon could describe reigning WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson becoming the first player in league history to register a 30-20 double-double. The coach said it was just “A’ja being A’ja.” Wilson finished with 32 points on 13-of-25 shooting to go along with her second-career 20-rebound night. It was her 14th double-double of the season. She led the Aces to a 94-86 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Sunday night. Wilson said it’s shocking to think she’s the first with a 30-20 game given all the great players in the league.

Trump is promising new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington

August 10, 2025

President Donald Trump is promising new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington. And that’s leading the city’s mayor to voice concerns about the potential use of the National Guard to patrol the streets in the nation’s capital. Trump says in a social media post that he plans a White House news conference at 10 a.m. Monday to discuss his plans to make the District of Columbia, in his words, “safer and more beautiful than it ever was before.” On Thursday, the Republican president directed an increased federal law enforcement presence in the Democratic-run city for seven days, “with the option to extend as needed.” Federal agencies including the FBI assigned more than 120 officers and agents to assist in Washington.

Trial to start on whether deployment of National Guard to Los Angeles violated federal law

August 10, 2025

A federal judge in San Francisco will hear arguments on whether military troops deployed this summer by the Trump administration to Los Angeles violated a federal law that bars troops from conducting law enforcement duties within the country. Judge Charles Breyer will decide whether the Posse Comitatus Act, an 1878 law that prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force, was violated by the 4,700 California National Guard members and Marines sent following protests. The case could set precedent for how Trump can deploy the guard in the future in California or other states.

Olympian Hezly Rivera edges Leanne Wong for victory at the US gymnastics championships

August 10, 2025

Hezly Rivera has claimed victory at the U.S. gymnastics championships. The 17-year-old Olympic gold medalist pulled away on Sunday, looking ready to lead the women’s program toward the 2028 Games in Los Angeles. Rivera, the youngest member of the team that won in Paris last year, posted a two-day total of 112.000, just ahead of runner-up Leanne Wong. Three weeks after a shaky performance at the U.S. Classic, Rivera’s polished routine has all but assured her a spot on the world championship team heading to Jakarta in October. Wong also secured spots in the selection camp.

Whitmer told Trump in private that Michigan auto jobs depend on a tariff change of course

August 10, 2025

Michigan’s governor met privately with President Donald Trump to urge him to change course on tariffs that are having a big impact on automakers in her state. Democrat Gretchen Whitmer came for the Oval Office meeting Tuesday with a visual presentation to warn that the tariffs threaten Michigan’s economy and undermine Trump’s promises to revive manufacturing. Trump has stuck with high import taxes despite pushback from auto executives as the tariffs cost the industry billions and trigger layoffs. Whitmer’s rare access to Trump as a leading Democrat underscores the political and economic stakes as the president considers escalating tariffs further.

August 10, 2025

Justin Verlander added another memorable chapter to his legendary pitching career Sunday, yet was hardly in the mood to celebrate. Verlander struck out the side in the first inning against the Nationals to become the 10th pitcher in MLB history to reach 3,500 career strikeouts. Not long after, things began to unravel for the three-time Cy Young Award winner as the Giants dropped an 8-0 decision to Washington in front of 40,000 fans at Oracle Park. Washington scored four times in the second inning and five overall on 11 hits against Verlander in the latest outing in what has been a season-long struggle for the 42-year-old.

Maritime memorial celebrates life of paddleboarder killed in Maine

August 10, 2025

Friends and family of a Maine woman whose killing on a rural pond shocked the community have celebrated her life with a maritime service. Forty-eight-year-old Sunshine Stewart, of St. George, went missing in July while paddleboarding on Crawford Pond, a popular summer destination in Union. She was later found dead, and police charged 17-year-old Deven Young, of Frankfort, Maine, with murder in connection with her death. Stewart’s loved ones called Sunday’s memorial a “maritime celebration of life.” It included a procession of boats in the Tenants Harbor section of St. George, where Stewart lived.

Colorado prison evacuated as growing wildfire becomes one of the largest in state history

August 10, 2025

A Colorado prison was evacuated as one of the largest wildfires in state history continued to grow, with officials warning residents of remote areas to be ready to leave as gusty winds and low humidity feed the flames. Evacuation orders were already in place for mountain communities as the Lee Fire charred more than 167 square miles across Garfield and Rio Blanco counties. It’s just 6% contained on Sunday. Officials say all 179 incarcerated people were safely removed from the Rifle Correctional Center on Saturday. In California, crews reached 62% containment on the 8-square-mile Canyon Fire that forced evacuations after breaking out Thursday near the LA County and Ventura County line.

August 10, 2025

The life of Aland Etienne, the security guard who was killed last month at a Manhattan office tower, is being remembered. Hundreds turned out for a memorial on Saturday for the father and grandfather, who was among four people killed on July 28 by a gunman targeting the headquarters of the National Football League. Etienne was 46 years old, an immigrant from Haiti who came to the U.S. in 2017. He’s being remembered as a dedicated father and grandfather who was faithfully working at his post when the gunman opened fire. Etienne’s brother called him a humble, steady and kind New York hero.

The flight was scheduled to travel from Atlanta to Guatemala City, according to FlightAware, a website that tracks flight disruptions. Passengers were transferred to another plane following a delay. No injuries were reported, according to Delta, which has its headquarters in Atlanta.

He also was on Scheffler’s bag in the third round of the 2024 PGA Championship so Scott could attend his daughter’s high school graduation. The PGA Tour did not say what private matter led Scott to leave for home.

Frederick Richard is taking his fight to make gymnastics ‘cool’ to a new front: His uniform

August 10, 2025

Frederick Richard is challenging men’s gymnastics norms with his wardrobe. The 21-year-old Olympic bronze medalist swapped traditional stirrup pants for shorts over compression leggings at the U.S. Championships. He accepts a three-tenths deduction each day for breaking uniform rules, believing it’s worth it to make the sport more appealing. Richard’s goal is to inspire young boys by making gymnastics more accessible. He debuted his new look at Winter Cup in February and refined it for nationals. While the clothing violates the rules, Richard is determined to push boundaries and hopes for more flexibility in uniform rules.

Republican Winsome Earle-Sears is on the defensive in Virginia’s race for governor

August 10, 2025

Republican Winsome Earle-Sears says she’s running her campaign for Virginia governor like a military-style operation. And at this point, a few months away from the November election, it’s looking like a campaign on the defensive. The lieutenant governor is facing a Democratic Abigail Spanberger, a former congresswoman who has more campaign money and a unified party behind her. Earle-Sears has replaced a pastor with little political experience who had been her campaign manager. And her team has failed to gain traction with big money donors. An Earle-Sears victory would make her the first Black woman in U.S. history to serve as a governor.

A Congolese refugee’s 8-year struggle to reunite with her family in the US

August 10, 2025

A Congolese refugee who had been separated from her family for eight years was on the verge of joining them in the United States when President Donald Trump halted the refugee program in January. She was one of at least 12,000 refugees who had imminent travel plans canceled. Many of them had already sold belongings in anticipation of resettlement. A lawsuit brought by refugee aid groups and a handful of individuals, including the Congolese woman, is still playing out in the courts. The Congolese woman made it to the U.S. earlier this year thanks to a narrow window created by a court ruling that was later overturned. But thousands of refugees remain in limbo.

What to know about how Trump’s judicial picks could reshape abortion rights for decades

August 10, 2025

A review by The Associated Press shows that several of President Donald Trump’s nominees to the federal courts have revealed anti-abortion views, been associated with anti-abortion groups or defended abortion restrictions. Some have helped defend their state’s abortion restrictions in court and some have been involved in cases with national impact, including on access to medication abortion. Legal experts and abortion rights advocates warn of a remaking of the federal courts in a way that could pose enduring threats to abortion access nationwide.

Trump has said abortion is a state issue. His judicial picks could shape it nationally for decades

August 10, 2025

Many of President Donald Trump’s picks to be federal judges have revealed anti-abortion views, been associated with anti-abortion groups or defended abortion restrictions. With Senate confirmation, they’d have lifetime appointments and be in position to roll back abortion access long after the Republican president leaves the White House. Of the 17 judicial nominees so far in Trump’s second term, an Associated Press review finds at least eight have argued in favor of abortion restrictions or against expanded abortion access. No such records could be found for the other nine, nor did the AP review find evidence that any nominees support increased access to abortion.
