WASHINGTON — A day after President Donald Trump stunned many by appearing to embrace gun control, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr compared Trump to a fictional, dimwitted weather man in San Diego. “I think he had forgotten which side he was on,” Kerr said of Trump’s new stance on gun control. “It reminded me of ‘Anchorman’ when Brick ends up on the wrong side of a fight, and he’s like, ‘Yeah!’ They’re like, ‘No, Brick, you’re on this side,’ and he’s like, ‘Oh, OK.’” In a meeting Wednesday...

MOSCOW (AP) — After announcing Russia had developed new nuclear weapons, President Vladimir Putin on Thursday invited the nation to offer names for some of them — apparently not worried by Britain's red-faced experience doing the same thing. In 2016, the most popular choice in an online competition to name a British polar survey vessel was Boaty McBoatface. That ship was eventually christened the Sir David Attenborough in honor of the naturalist, but the goofy moniker became the name of one of the country's remotely operated submarines.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The first primary of 2018 could offer a test of the re-energized gun-control movement, but the issue has not dominated races in gun-loving Texas, even though the state recently endured a massacre that was deadlier than the Florida high school shooting.

On Lena Waithe’s Showtime drama “The Chi,” Yolonda Ross plays a single mother, an often “thankless” role she says doesn’t get enough attention. “It’s an epidemic, I feel, in our country.
