That does not mean doubling down on the kinds of barriers that impeded the response to COVID-19 at virtually every turn, or $3 trillion in more spending to bail out decades of irresponsible decisions. It means responding to the economic and health crises we face now—and those we will face in the future—by building a more innovative, more diverse and more resilient economy. Americans from all walks of life have answered the call during this emergency, creating momentum for the reforms that will get the economy going and creating a proof of concept for the next phase and beyond....

President Donald Trump signed a presidential proclamation to temporarily deny entry to foreign nationals, except the immediate family members of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, who have traveled in China in the past two weeks. The restrictions take effect from 5 p.m. ET on Sunday. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced the news at the White House press conference on Friday. Americans returning from China’s Hubei province, where the outbreak of the new virus originated, will face a mandatory quarantine for 14 days, Azar said....

Initially, of course, there was strong support for the lockdowns. But a backlash is brewing. Forty-one percent of voters have already come to believe that the lockdowns did more harm than good. Barely two months into the lockdown, only 51 percent disagree with that assessment. As the economic trauma continues, those numbers are almost certain to shift and cast the initial lockdowns in an even less favorable light. Looking ahead, the data reveal another perspective Reagan applauded: confidence in the commonsense wisdom of the American people....

Daily increases of about 2,000 cases have largely been the norm for the new coronavirus, named COVID-19, but on Monday the WHO reported a massive spike of nearly 20,000 cases. This was predominantly attributed to the WHO including clinically diagnosed cases in China’s Hubei province, where the outbreak originated, in the total case count for the first time since the U.N. agency began issuing daily updates in January. China started reporting clinically diagnosed cases—those that are confirmed by a doctor and not a laboratory test—to the WHO on Thursday....

Join us every Sunday for the same Game Rant-flavored awesome-sauce that you’ve grown accustomed to… only now with pictures! Sega would really like to put the years of bad three-dimensional Sonic titles, of which there are many, behind them. They’d probably also appreciate it if you went ahead and forgot about them as well. In fact, Sega is more than willing to give you a little help with ridding your brain of Sonic’s time dwelling in that pesky third-dimension....

Corsair is well-known for its expansive line of computer peripherals, and the K60 RGB Pro keyboard fits in well with the rest of its pricier options. While the K60 offers a lower cost, it’s still extremely customizable and works alongside Corsair’s iCUE software, allowing users to customize their keyboard lighting or to set the lighting to respond in real-time with games being played, all for less than a hundred bucks....

Still, with so little known about Halo 5: Guardians, it’s hard to drum up more than a general sense of enthusiasm. We know that the game features a new playable character in John Locke, who was first introduced in the Halo: Nightfall series, but outside of that, details are fairly slim. Luckily, John Locke’s voice actor Mike Colter, who was also the face of Locke in Nightfall, has shed some light on his character’s role....

Senator Cory Booker is pushing for a new standard to hold police officers who break the law accountable for their actions. The New Jersey Democrat told A Starting Point (ASP), a civic media organization, in an interview with actors Chris Evans and Mark Kassen that new standards and greater accountability are essential elements to police reform in the United States. “You’re not going to see real change if people can do things with impunity,” Booker said....

The Spain international was a talismanic presence for the Blues throughout the 2016-17 campaign, with his 21-goal haul carrying the club to Premier League title glory and the FA Cup final. Hazard named Chelsea POTS He has, however, been generating exit talk since January and recently admitted that he will look to stay in Europe if a move is made over the coming weeks. Cantona believes a big-money switch could be on the cards, having read between the lines of the excitable celebrations sparked by a 1-0 victory over West Brom which clinched Chelsea the English top-flight crown....

The Spain striker was substituted just after the hour for Kevin Gameiro, with Diego Simeone’s decision to then bring off Antoine Griezmann 10 minutes later leading to jeers from the home crowd with the team leading 1-0. Simeone said after the match that Costa had asked to come off due to injury, and the former Chelsea striker underwent further medical examinations on Sunday. Atleti confirmed on Twitter that Costa has sustained a hamstring problem, although a time frame on his return was not announced with a further statement on the club’s official website adding the situation will be monitored....

MLS Commissioner Don Garber, whose Twitter handle is @thesoccerdon, controls a league that has seen significant growth over the past 10 years with more new stadiums opening than any other league at the highest level of sports. Over the past decade alone, nine new MLS stadiums have debuted in addition to the retrofit of Providence Park, an old minor league baseball field converted to a soccer pitch for the Portland Timbers, MLS’s defending champions....

Late last month, police in Santa Fe, New Mexico, arrested 25-year-old Isaac Apodaca and his girlfriend 19-year-old Kiara McCulley, after police found the body of 21-year-old Grace Jennings in a garage. The Albuquerque Journal reported that according to a criminal complaint filed by police in court, Jennings had “several puncture wounds consistent with being stabbed by a sword,” and “appeared to have injuries consistent with attempts to decapitate.” According to police, Apodaca allegedly texted McCulley urging her to kill Jennings, saying that doing so would allow her to “move up in the ranks,” the newspaper reported....

On the flip side, when an official drew Noah's ire after a foul call in the third quarter, that same passion worked to his disadvantage. He screamed profanities at officials on his way out and needed to be pulled away from the court by teammates.

Why were 14 men sitting in judgment on such a sensitive social issue? Because the U.S. Congress remains a resolutely male world. Women are outnumbered 98 to 2 in the Senate and 406 to 29 in the House-and they still have to fight for equal gym privileges. From the government-issue leather wing chairs to the ceremonial spittoons, Congress has the feel of an exclusive men’s club. The Senate cloakroom reeks of two centuries of dealmaking and cigar-smoking....

The red angles, ∠C & ∠E, are on one side of the transversal, in between the two black lines. Therefore, ∠C & ∠E are consecutive interior angles. The blue angles, ∠D & ∠F, are also on one side of the transversal (in this case, on the other side), in between the two lines. Therefore, ∠D & ∠F are consecutive interior angles. ∠A, ∠B, ∠G, and ∠H are not in between the two lines....

Plus what liberals call “industrial policy” and conservatives used to call “lemon socialism”–loan guarantees, wrinkles in the tax code and other subsidies to private enterprises that evidently cannot prosper in the market without corporate welfare. Plus the largest expansion of an entitlement since Medicare was enacted 38 years ago. The price put on the prescription-drug benefit–$400 billion over 10 years–is (a) a guess that everyone finds it convenient to accept, (b) probably low for the coming decade and (c) perhaps onefifth the cost of its second decade (see Robert J....

The Job Creators Network (JCN) intends to file suit in Manhattan on Tuesday, according to Fox Business, and will seek that the All-Star Game be returned to Atlanta or damages of not less than $100 million to be distributed to Atlanta businesses that JCN alleges were financially damaged by the decision. MLB pulled the game out of Georgia following the state’s passage of a new voting law that critics charged was intended as a voter suppression measure and President Joe Biden compared it to racist Jim Crow laws....
