Ocasio-Cortez shared the petition on her Twitter account Wednesday morning, calling for Stephen Miller, one of Trump’s top advisers, to leave his post after a report published by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) revealed Miller had sent hundreds of emails to Breitbart editors that pushed the right-wing media outlet toward stories involving white nationalists and anti-immigration policies. According to the SPLC report, Miller’s emails also touted some conspiracy theories favored among alt-right figures and gave Breitbart staffers tips on how to cover stories related to immigration and crime involving minority groups....

The Kremlin has also been waging an information war against dissidents to the invasion of Ukraine, with state media portraying the attacks in the country as a “special military operation.” Meanwhile, thousands of protesters have been detained in Russia since the military attacks began on Ukraine on February 24....

The unseeded left-hander came out of gate with an aggressive plan in mind and started executing it from the opening point. Shelton’s serve game and ground strokes were impressively dominant, with the 20-year-old capitalising more often than not to put Popyrin off. In just his second Grand Slam appearance, the American has raced to the fourth round and will meet countrymen J.J. Wolf. Shelton started off the match in positive fashion, putting the nervous Popyrin on the back foot from the get go....

Eisenstaedt, who died at 96 last week on Martha’s Vineyard off Massachusetts, led a mostly lucky life. Born Dec. 6, 1898, in Prussia, he returned from a vacation in 1927 with a shot of a tennis player. At a friend’s suggestion, he managed to sell it to Der Weltspeigel. By 1929 he’d quit his job as a button salesman and become a photojournalist.

Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic were both deserving of First Team spots, but voters didn’t bend the rules and put one of the big men at forward. DeMar DeRozan was listed as a guard and forward on the Bulls’ roster. He ultimately landed at forward on the Second Team. LeBron James, who logged minutes at every position, was one of the Third Team forwards. There were no easy answers to the toughest All-NBA questions, so voters had to use their best judgment in completing their ballots....

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that hospitals and long-term care facilities must develop policies to ensure all workers are vaccinated against COVID-19.

The diplomats were grappling over money–specifically, how much each of the U.N.’s 189 members should pay in dues. On a deeper level, the debate was over Washington’s relationship with the world body it wants to lead but loves to hate. The U.S. Congress has insisted that it won’t pay hundreds of millions of dollars in delinquent dues until the U.N. reduces Washington’s share of operating and peacekeeping costs. Holbrooke has spent much of his 16-month stint as U....

Palace have claimed just seven points in 12 matches at home this season, and they were roundly booed by the home faithful after a five-minute spell before half-time saw them concede three goals.

The Scudetto holders gave up an early 2-0 lead and missed a penalty at home to Mauricio Pochettino’s team in the round of 16 on Tuesday, and the Premier League side will have the advantage of two away goals in the return fixture at Wembley next month. Disappointment at the result did not prevent Juve from keeping the pressure on Napoli in Serie A, though, Alex Sandro’s 33rd-minute goal sealing all three points against their cross-city rivals at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino....

For the first time since August 2015, Juve failed to score at home in a Serie A game as they stayed third in the table. But Allegri was pleased with what he saw from his team, saying all that was missing from their performance was a winning goal. “Running is not the most important thing in football but it definitely helps.
