Footage from a Wednesday Public Power protest captured officers passing around a circular saw and using it to disconnect protesters before arresting them.

First off, President Trump was born and raised in New York, making him a lifelong New Yorker. This week he changed his permanent address to Palm Beach, Florida, saying it was because of his treatment from New York politicians. Schumer pulled a line from the song, “New York, New York” to say that perhaps Trump wasn’t New York tough. “New York, New York. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere… Trump can’t,” Schumer tweeted....

The new restrictions would accomplish several items that have been on lawmakers’ agenda since the massacre, including creating a firearms registry that would link individual weapons to license holders; tightening requirements on obtaining a gun-owner’s license; and ramping up penalties for firearms offenses, among other items.

The Gunners have avoided defeat against the Magpies since November 2010, with their last reversal at St James’ Park coming way back in December 2005. Arsene Wenger could do with that sequence being extended as Arsenal have seen Burnley close to within striking distance behind them, making it all the more important for domestic focus to be maintained amid an ongoing pursuit of continental glory in the Europa League....

Yesterday I Googled my name. There were 7.9 million references. There’s so much crap out there about me being the Antichrist. I don’t know. This is not my cup of tea. I signed on for one season, and Simon Cowell conned me into it: “Here’s a lot of money, and it’s like ‘The Gong Show’.” I’m trying to get on a sitcom or maybe even my own show, “Travels With the Hoff....

Despite President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which allows rebates up to $7,500 for new electric vehicle purchases, low-income California residents may struggle to purchase electric vehicles if the 1....

There is a real temptation to descend to the level of the left’s dishonest, false and often vicious attacks about the Trump administration’s response to the potential pandemic. However, that would be exactly the wrong reaction. Just as the contrast between Trump in India and the pathetic South Carolina debate emphasized the stature difference between the president as a world leader and a group of noisy, desperate politicians, there is an opportunity for the Trump administration and congressional Republicans to demonstrate patriotism, seriousness and focus on solving real problems for real people....

Americans, including some in the American government, continue to underestimate the scale, intensity and aggressiveness of the Chinese dictatorship’s approach to propaganda. Americans and our allies seem to forget that the heart of the rise of the Chinese Communist Party was a deep dedication to effective education and propaganda. They have had nearly a century of experience at waging intellectual and psychological warfare as the necessary foundation of winning and keeping power....

Both Democratic House Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter Rodino in 1973 and Republican House Judicial Committee Chairman Henry Hyde in 1998 set a standard for fairness and operated with a judicial temperament of seeking the truth rather than maximizing partisan advantage. In 1973, Rodino set the gold standard for fairness. The rights of the minority party were protected. The American people’s right to know what was going on was protected. Chairman Rodino himself set a standard for fairness and seriousness as a congressman exercising constitutional oversight....

But while tales of stronger, faster and younger-looking customers abound—thank you, Internet marketers—the science behind HGH remains mired in contradictory and inconclusive results. In the two decades since scientists figured out how to mass-produce it, the myth of HGH’s power has continued to grow, far exceeding what is supported by research into the actual effects of the substance. Proponents and opponents alike appear to have oversold it. “The biggest problem is that you have something that people believe works,” says Richard Hellman, president of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists....

N’Zonzi has not featured since being substituted at half-time of Sevilla’s 3-3 draw with Liverpool last month – with his team trailing 3-0 – and the France international confirmed he has fallen out with coach Eduardo Berizzo. The situation has given rise to speculation linking him with Arsenal and Everton, while the Reds are also reported to be interested in the former Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City man. While N’Zonzi insists his visit to London on Tuesday “has nothing to do with a transfer” and is purely to see his son, the 28-year-old believes the time has come to leave the club he joined in July 2015....

On Thursday, NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson and NAACP Texas President Gary Bledsoe released the full-length letter on the organization’s website. Johnson and Bledsoe both stated that their reasoning behind the letter is due to Texas Governor Greg Abbott and his recent decision-making regarding voting rights and reproductive care. “As we watch an incomprehensible assault on basic human rights unfold in Texas, we are simultaneously witnessing a threat to constitutional guarantees for women, children and marginalized communities,” wrote Johnson and Bledsoe....
