I’ll not go over old ground just now, but today we appeared to have made a really good fist of our innings after losing another important early season toss. Whichever side had won it was going to bowl after a delayed start, so the portents appeared far from good. Nonetheless, after the early loss of Stephen Moore, Wayne Madsen and Paul Borrington took us to the calmer waters of 74-1 at tea and we looked set for a decent first innings tally....
The House will likely focus on legislation around gun policy and election security and the Senate, led by Republican Mitch McConnell, has a large group of judicial nominees waiting for approval. There’s also always the chance that Republicans will find the time to have another go at healthcare, and that Democrats will hold more hearings around the possible impeachment of President Donald Trump. On top of that, Trump’s U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade deal awaits approval and there seems to be some bipartisan movement on a bill to control pharmaceutical drug prices....
California Congresswoman Karen Bass, who is chair of the 55-member, all-Black coalition in Congress, rebuffed critics who are calling for Trump to make an official statement about Lewis, who died Friday in Atlanta. The president later responded to Lewis’ death Saturday afternoon, tweeting: “Saddened to hear the news of civil rights hero John Lewis passing. Melania and I send our prayers to he and his family.” Lawmakers, celebrities and journalists had earlier criticized Trump for tweeting dozens of times about “corrupt Joe Biden” and a slew of other topics, but failing to mention Lewis’ name once in the hours after the Democratic congressman’s passing....

In the aftermath of Kamaru Usman’s spectacular second-round KO win over Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261, MMA megastar Conor McGregor took to his official Twitter account and jibed at Usman. McGregor tweeted a video of himself landing a step-in left straight/cross from the southpaw stance against fellow southpaw Dustin Poirier in their UFC 257 fight. In a statement attached to the tweet, McGregor pointed out the similarity between the strike he landed and Usman’s step-in right straight/cross from the orthodox stance against Masvidal who was also in the orthodox stance....
Trump, during a rally for Pennsylvania GOP candidates on Saturday night, took a jab at DeSantis, a popular politician among conservatives, calling him “Ron DeSanctimonious” while boasting about his strong 2024 poll numbers. Trump has repeatedly teased another presidential bid, and DeSantis has been named as one of the alternative conservative candidates who could challenge Trump for the Republican nomination. The early dig at DeSantis comes just days after the former president said he is “very, very, very” likely to run for president again in 2024....
Harris recently appeared on a video in which she speaks of her support for former Democratic Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, who is running again for the same office. Psaki, meanwhile, said that the Biden administration supports McAuliffe’s agenda and is working to support his campaign. But conservatives allege that Harris’ and Psaki’s gestures go against IRS law and the Hatch Act, respectively—the latter of which many figures within the previous Trump administration were found to have violated....

Juventus stopped play after Carlos Tevez scored twice to put them ahead in the first half only to see Luca Toni and Juanito Gomez Taleb’s goals pulled off an unlikely comeback for the hosts Sunday, reports Xinhua. “It’s inexplicable. The game lasts 90 minutes instead of 45. It’s not acceptable to be punished by two set plays on two distractions. It wipes out all the good work we did until then,” said Conte with apparent irritation, blaming his players for their lack of concentration....
Inter crashed out of the Coppa Italia with a penalty shootout defeat to Lazio on Thursday, and they are yet to win in Serie A in 2019. Their poor run has seen Spalletti come under scrutiny, with reports claiming that Conte, who is yet to return to management after leaving Chelsea, had been at Inter’s offices to meet with CEO Beppe Marotta. Conte subsequently denied there had been any contact, and in a vehement defence of his position ahead of Inter’s match with Bologna on Sunday, Spalletti fired back at the Italian press....
Conte’s Premier League champions were strong favourites to complete the double as his opposite number Arsene Wenger grappled with a defensive injury crisis before the contest, but Arsenal tore into their rivals from the opening whistle. Ramsey believes Wenger will stay Arsenal were unfortunate not to hold a more authoritative lead than 1-0 at half-time after a scintillating showing, even allowing for questions over handball and offside associated with Alexis Sanchez’s fourth-minute opener....
Of the many LTMs that have been introduced and reintroduced in Apex Legends, Control is by far the most frequent game mode that has made multiple returns. Set in secluded areas of the battle royale maps, Control pits two teams of nine players against each other as they fight to capture 3 set points. The fast respawn times and emphasis on fighting rather than looting has made Control one of the most-liked LTMs by players....

Rush’s third start under center will be under the bright lights of “Monday Night Football” when the Cowboys face the undefeated NFC East rival Giants. Rush isn’t going to blow anyone away with his ability, but he’s been a more than adequate fill-in for Dak Prescott in his starts, enough that team owner Jerry Jones cast doubts on who could be the starter when Prescott is back from his hand injury — comments coach Mike McCarthy quickly rebuked....
Who he is: After Mariano Rivera, Trevor Hoffman might rank as the most prominent closer yet to appear on the Hall of Fame ballot. The long-time Padres fireman recorded 601 saves over his 18-year career, second-best all-time behind Rivera, finishing in the top five for National League Cy Young Award voting three years. Trevor Hoffman (Getty Images) MORE: Who else is on the 2016 Hall of Fame ballot? Enshrining closers is still a relatively new practice, with just four pitchers in Cooperstown who relieved 80 percent of their games according to Baseball-Reference....
Roseville police said that around 7:30 p.m. officers responded to reports of shots being fired at residential homes near Lake Owasso. When officers arrived, they were immediately fired upon by the shooting suspect. The officer shot in the face was taken to a hospital by fellow officers, Roseville Police Chief Erika Scheider said during a press conference Wednesday. Police said a 53-year-old male was shooting at officers from a wooded area with a rifle-style gun....
In case you didn’t know.. La Albiceleste defeated Nicaragua 5-1 in a friendly match before starting their journey in the Copa America 2019. Following the thumping defeat against Lionel Scaloni’s men, Nicaragua players urged the Barcelona icon who scored a brace on the night to snap a selfie with them. Following a comfortable win against Nicaragua, Argentina went on to witness a rather dramatic start to their Copa America campaign as they were defeated 2-0 by continental rivals Colombia, who registered their first win over La Albiceleste since 2007....
The Albiceleste have the odds firmly stacked in their favour given the history between the sides, but Los Cafeteros have proved to be no pushovers either in recent times. An international friendly earlier in March ended in a dour and inconsequential goalless draw, but you can bet your bottom dollar it’s going to be much different this time around. Argentina and Colombia are the favourites to progress through the group, and this match would have bearings on who could finish at the top....
The Brazilians come into the game on the back of a nerve-wracking penalty shoot-out victory over Paraguay. However, that game too brought to light the deficiencies existing in their machine. The attack failed to inspire again and though they kept another clean sheet, Tite would certainly have a furrowed brow or two with respect to his side’s insipidness in the offensive third. Additionally, the Brazilians are also trying to right the wrongs of a nightmarish night in 2014....
