Now that the staff has said their final farewells to Dr. Alex Karev, whose sudden departure was finally addressed and answered on the show last week, the white coats walking the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital will go back to their usual daily musings, trying to heal their patients’ problems and their own. The medical drama will coincide with Station 19 for yet another dramatic crossover episode on Thursday, starting with Dr....

The commander-in-chief is attacking political opponents and critics on a daily basis, accusing the most senior House Democrats of corruption, criminality and even treason. Ahead of another week of closed-door depositions on the Hill, the president launched fresh attacks on the probe into his July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, which he has dismissed as another “witch hunt.” The president’s Sunday evening tirade branded the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep....

HENRY: I’m having an affair. LESLIE: How could you do this to me? To us?! HENRY: Hey, don’t blame me. Blame Steve and Ted for moving in next door. LESLIE: Steve and Ted? But they’re…they’re…they’re just… roommates! ANN, laughing: Just roommates! Would ya listen to this broad? Still lying to herself! HENRY, calmly: They’re not just roommates, Leslie. They’re gay. They’re a gay couple. They’re a gay married couple. Get it?...

I suppose i should have been flattered–after all, he was indirectly telling me that my emails are so compelling that they distract professional writers from money-making projects. But I wasn’t. I’d been demailed. Just as I was absorbing this massive snub, a press release came across my desk telling me that the city’s oldest park had just been set up to provide free wireless Internet access so that visitors can “use the newest available technology to surf the Internet wirelessly from laptops and PDAs while lunching or relaxing....

NEWSWEEK: You visited Iraq for the first time last month. How was your trip? Shada Hassoun: It was very emotional. I was very happy, very proud. At the same time I was a little bit sad. After 26 years, it was the first time I went to my country. How did the Iraqis react? They were very nice. When a woman came to me and said “Thank you,” it was like she was saying thank you to her daughter....

“Jazz” is set in 1920s Harlem, where Southern blacks migrated by the thousands: a cultural atomic pile in which (the churchgoing ladies say) “you couldn’t tell the streetwalkers from the mothers” and “the music was getting worse and worse with each passing season the Lord waited to make Himself known.” The “sooty” sounds of jazz express those suddenly liberated energies in all their ambivalence: sexual license, the disintegration of family ties (a girl leaves her baby brother on the street to dash inside for a copy of “The Trombone Blues”), the new militant politics....

Yedlin’s positioning probably could have been better on the Gunners early opener to put Newcastle down 1-0. He was ahead of his defensive line, providing more space for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to run into. While Yedlin’s pace often can correct those mistakes, it could not against the speedy Aubameyang, who was able to find Alexandre Lacazette for the opener. But while his culpability for the first goal was a question, Yedlin’s contribution to Newcastle’s opener cannot be denied....

Individuals with disabilities protected under the law include those who experience significant impairment in day-to-day life or are regarded as having a disability. Some disabilities that the ADA recognizes include people who are deaf, blind, have limited or no mobility, or live with a learning disability. Read on to learn more about the ADA, how it works in particular contexts, and what to do if your disability rights have been violated....

Summers, the U.S. Treasury secretary from 1999 to 2001, and director of the National Economic Council under former President Barack Obama, made the comments Friday to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in response to new federal figures showing stronger-than-expected job growth. Summers’ views on the precarious state of the economy have taken on added credibility after he predicted President Joe Biden’s stimulus policies would significantly drive up inflation. “I think our core problem is that we have an unsustainably overheated economy that’s leading to high inflation, which is cutting people’s paychecks,” Summers told CNN....

In wake of the protests following the murder of George Floyd and subsequent calls to defund the police, Republican lawmakers like Mitch McConnell have directly tied what he sees as “an explosion of violent crime” to calls to “defund the police.” 2020 saw homicides in the U.S. increase by what early FBI reports estimate to be around 25%, an increase of 4,000 to 5,000 additional murders. The FBI does not release its official totals until the fall, so that figure may shift, yet Gun Violence Archive reported 611 mass shootings in 2020, more than the reported totals for either of the previous two years....

Bobby Wood is out with a bad back, Jordan Morris’ status is in doubt with an injured ankle and Clint Dempsey only just recently returned from a heart condition that left him sidelined for half a year. NxGn: The 50 best U-19 players Despite that, U.S. coach Bruce Arena looked confident and relaxed at U.S. training on Tuesday, probably because he knows full well just what Jozy Altidore has done, and can do, in World Cup qualifying....

Deputies from the Trumbull County Sheriff’s Department said they stopped the buggy just before 1 a.m. in North Bloomfield, but the two men fled into the trees as the horse continued down the road, WKBN reported. The deputies said they found a 12-pack of Michelob Ultra in the buggy, several of which were open. They also found a sound system installed in the back of the vehicle. The deputies subsequently towed the buggy and found a temporary home for the horse, where it will stay until the owners come forward, they said....

In the aftermath of Depp’s court victory over ex-wife Amber Heard, who a jury found had defamed Depp with malice, the actress has given a post-trial interview to Today co-host Guthrie that is set to air on Friday night on NBC. “If Mr. Depp or his team have a problem with this, we recommend that Johnny himself sit down with Savannah Guthrie for an hour and answer all her questions,” a spokesperson for Heard told Newsweek....

AMC confirmed it acquired the rights to all 18 of Rice’s Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair Witches books. Rolin Jones, a producer on cult sports drama Friday Night Lights, will be part of the development of the projects after signing an overall deal with AMC earlier this month. Rice and her son, Christopher Rice, will also be executive producers on all of the TV and movie projects of the series that AMC creates....

Unlike international advocacy forums, my friends and neighbors in Kocho did not want me to repeat and relive my experience in ISIS captivity. My story is not exceptional in the Yazidi community. We are a small ethno-religious minority indigenous to northern Iraq that has historically been relegated to the margins of Iraqi society. ISIS exploited this vulnerability in an attempt to eradicate the Yazidi faith, along with other ethnic and religious minorities....

In a speech six months ago, former World Bank President and Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick reminded listeners of his own famous 2005 call on Beijing to become a “responsible stakeholder.” He ticked off a few of the ways in which China had done just that: voting for sanctions on North Korea and limiting missile exports, for instance. But he acknowledged that the project had gone off the rails....

If Democrats did not appreciate the geopolitical importance of U.S. energy pre-eminence a year ago, they ought to now. President Biden inherited an energy economy that was the envy of the world. He has spent the last 14 months dismantling that legacy. Pleading with Russia to bump up its oil output while Vladimir Putin was preparing to assault Ukraine sent an unmistakable signal of weakness. It was not always this way....
