On Saturday, Sanders reiterated his belief that he and Democratic legislators will continue to “rebuild our economy, get our kids back to school” with or without Republican support. Not a single Republican senator or member of the House of Representatives voted in favor of the COVID-19 relief package last week. The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan is “the most consequential piece of legislation for working families passed in many, many decades,” he told National Public Radio (NPR)....

Carnoustie’s history suggests a play-off could be on the cards, while recent Opens indicate experience of prior major success will be key for those hoping to contend for the Claret Jug. There appears a strong chance an American will be in the reckoning, while the best hope of ending the long wait for an English winner at the tournament appears to lie with a man looking to slay some Open demons of his own....

A few experts cite various possible reasons as to why interest in these broadcast criminal cases, particularly involving murder charges, are so high. “People find violence exciting and consequential,” Richard Felson, a criminology and sociology professor at Penn State University, told Newsweek. “They watch dog fights, bull fights, cock fights, fist fights, wrestling, murder stories and they rubber-neck car accidents.” In the case of Chauvin’s trial, Felson said there is a political and racial element, as well as strong partisanship....

Among Us VR, which is a collaboration between Innersloth and Schell Games, just got its first gameplay trailer. Unsurprisingly, the core gameplay of Among Us VR isn’t far off from the original game; players wander around a sci-fi map and complete tasks while keeping an eye out for dead bodies and suspicious activity. More importantly, though, the trailer showcases a certain atmosphere that really sets Among Us VR apart. The combination of iconic Among Us charisma with a darker, more claustrophobic setting looks like it could result in a more immersive Among Us experience than ever before....

The engineering manager, who has been based in California for several years after relocating from her native Ohio, took to Twitter on Monday to reveal the incident. She wrote: “Hi all!

Sadly, this erasure is par for the course; ignoring the Hispanic community and our contributions across all aspects of American life is all too common. It’s a short-sighted mistake, especially given that our community comprises 62 million individuals—nearly 20 percent of the U.S. population, which is more than the non-Latino African-American and Asian-American communities combined. In this era of racial reckoning, how is it that we never hear about the fact that....

In a video posted to TikTok by Apollothebully_, a pet pooch by the name of Apollo got his first taste of the green vegetable—and it is fair to say he won’t be going back for more anytime soon. While some dogs may prefer meatier menu options or dry pet food, vegetables are an important part of a balanced canine diet. Pet nutritionist Gerald Pepin previously recommended dog owners try to include green leafy vegetables in their four-legged friend’s food....

She had suffered a severe head injury and later died in hospital, Kyiv police said in a statement. Neither the U.S. embassy nor the police have released the woman’s name.

In a recent study published by Stroke, an American Stroke Association journal, researchers analyzed U.S. census data and found that American Indians and people in rural areas traveled the farthest for certified stroke care. “Stroke is one of the most time-sensitive diseases we have in medicine," study co-author Akash Kansagra, MD, associate professor of radiology, neurological surgery, and neurology at the Washington University School of Medicine, tells Verywell. “In patients who have a stroke, a portion of the brain is not receiving enough oxygen because they have a blockage in blood flow....

STEELE: Time for Panthers, owners to speak up With protesters filling the Charlotte streets after the police-involved shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott, the ignorance-is-bliss formula, right or wrong, seems to be working for the Panthers. Their leader, after all, is quarterback Cam Newton, the public face of the no-opinion tactic. It’s a stark contrast to the Black Lives Matter-based protesting Colin Kaepernick has brought to the NFL over the past month....
