Browns defensive end Myles Garrett requests trade

After eight seasons with the Cleveland Browns, defensive end Myles Garrett—one of the NFL's most feared defenders—has asked to be traded. Garrett, the first overall pick in the 2017 draft, stated that he wanted a trade because he wanted to win. The previous season ended with a 3-14 record for the Browns. According to Garrett's statement on Monday, "I've loved calling this city home, but my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won't allow me to be complacent." I have asked to be traded from the Cleveland Browns in light of it," he continued. One of the NFL's most feared pass rushers is Garrett, a 29-year-old. He won the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year award and has six Pro Bowls to his name. With the exception of his first season in 2017, Garrett has recorded double-digit sack ...

Democratic senators say they have ‘grave concerns’ over RFK Jr.’s potential financial conflicts

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent financial disclosure statement has raised serious concerns among two Democratic senators on the committee that will decide whether to move forward with his nomination as the next secretary of health and human services. Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., wrote to Kennedy on Sunday, stating that his recently revised ethics disclosure form only made more concerns about the extent of his possible financial conflicts of interest. It is evident that you have a wide range of financial interests and engagement in vaccination lawsuits. Warren and Wyden, members of the Finance Committee, noted that it is likely that your family may get a sizable financial payout as a result of the various vaccine-related choices and statements that you would have t...

Federal agencies bar Black History Month and other ‘special observances’

WashingtonOn Friday, federal agencies hurried to follow executive orders issued by President Donald Trump that sought to reduce diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The executive orders sparked a rush of emails and memos that NBC News was able to access, which changed the guidelines for employees in the military, intelligence agencies, and other civilian departments with regard to employee resource groups and the celebration of cultural awareness events. According to a memo obtained by NBC News, the Defense Intelligence Agency issued an executive order this week to halt all events and activities associated with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Black History Month, Juneteenth, LGBTQ Pride Month, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and other "special observances" in order to comply with President...

Trump and Mexico’s president say tariffs will be delayed for one month after talks

After Mexico promised to increase border security, the U.S. and Mexico decided Monday to postpone a 25% duty on all Mexican imports for one month. This step might have slowed the economies of both countries and increased costs for U.S. consumers, at least for the time being. In order to combat drug trafficking from Mexico into the United States, especially fentanyl, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on social media that her country will immediately bolster the northern border with 10,000 men of its national guard. The U.S. will resume border security talks with Mexico, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Trump stated in a social media post.

Golf pro Jason Day wore sweatpants at Pebble Beach and caused a furor among fans

When PGA veteran Jason Day wore a full gray sweatsuit on Sunday at Pebble Beach, the fashion-conscious golf community gasped and criticized him harshly. Day, 37, tied for 13th place at a 12-under 269 after shooting a final-round 69 at the renowned Northern California course. However, it was what he was playing in on Sunday that caused people to take notice, not his play. Wearing grey sweatpants and a grey crew sweater with no distinguishing features other than a cursive M on the top left chest, Day could have easily passed for any random guy putting around a par 3 public course on Sunday. The M represented his apparel sponsor, Malbon Golf, a Los Angeles-based company that aims to preserve golf's legacy while introducing it to a wider audience by fusing traditional principles with a modern,...

Marchers protesting planned deportations block major freeway in Los Angeles

Los Angeles On Sunday, thousands of people marched around Southern California in opposition to President Donald Trump's proposed mass deportations. In downtown Los Angeles, protesters stopped a key freeway for several hours. Before marching to City Hall, protesters assembled in the morning on Olvera Street in Los Angeles, a historic thoroughfare that stretches back to Spanish and Mexican sovereignty. They held banners with the slogans "Nobody is illegal" and demanded immigration reform. All lanes of U.S. 101 were blocked by the demonstrators by the afternoon, which resulted in traffic backing up on surface streets and in both directions. Officers from the California Highway Patrol stood in a barrier as the protesters took their seats in lanes. The complete reopening of the freeway took a...

Mexico’s president says tariffs will be delayed for one month

After Mexico agreed to increase border security, President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico announced Monday that the United States would postpone for a month a proposed 25% tariff on all goods entering the country from Mexico.
