WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to build an exhibit of statues featuring prominent Americans in a tightly regulated park along the Potomac River, potentially opening a new legal fight over whether his administration is ignoring the approvals process that typically governs Washington’s monumental core as he muscles through a dramatic overhaul of the nation’s capital. In a Friday morning social media post, Trump said the National Garden of […]

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — The Trump administration has deported 15 Latin Americans to the Democratic Republic of Congo, sending them to an unfamiliar country thousands of miles from home — many despite U.S. court orders protecting them from deportation to their homelands. The Associated Press spoke by phone with a 29-year-old Colombian woman about her experience. She spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. Here are takeaways from […]

May 15 (Reuters) – After a run of hotter-than-expected inflation data this week, investors on Friday ramped up bets that the U.S. Federal Reserve will shift into interest-rate hiking mode perhaps before the year is out, presenting a potential policy dilemma out of the starting gate for incoming central bank leader Kevin Warsh. The probability that the Fed’s benchmark interest rate would be 25 basis points higher by January’s Federal […]

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — If a gambler at Las Vegas’ high-stakes tables got on a winning run as long and as impressive as the Golden Knights’ first nine seasons in the NHL, the casino would probably encourage them to leave. The rest of the NHL can’t get rid of the Knights that easily, and their ridiculous roll has extended all the way into yet another Western Conference finals. The Knights […]

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Canadiens rookie goalie Jakub Dobes is proud he didn’t give up on himself after allowing three goals on the first four Sabres shots he faced. And he’s especially indebted to Montreal coach Martin St. Louis for not yanking him. A rocky start that wasn’t entirely Dobes’ fault, led to the goalie regaining his form and confidence. He stopped Buffalo’s final 32 shots in a 6-3 win […]

This may as well have been called The James Harden Experience. In the span of 22 seconds during overtime of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, Harden did all this for the Cleveland Cavaliers — made a free throw, missed a free throw, blocked a shot, got a rebound and threw the ball away. None of it seemed to faze him, which […]

The NFL schedule traditionally gets plenty of attention. Government officials usually check it to see when the Washington Commanders or their favorite team are playing. However, there has been scrutiny as the league has carved out games for streaming services. Of the 272 regular-season games, 22 will stream as the primary network (one more than announced last season), and 14 will be primarily on cable. That leaves 236 games that […]

The cuts will impact employees in support functions like marketing, human resources and supply chain management.
