Giannis Antetokounmpo was called for two quick fouls, and with 9:02 left in the first quarter, he went to the bench. When he returned, there was plenty of time for him to make an impact. “No matter how many fouls I have, I’ve got to be aggressive. If I get the third one, I get the third one,” Antetokounmpo said. “Whenever I stop being aggressive, I don’t make plays.” Antetokounmpo made lots of plays down the stretch, finishing with 32 points and 12 rebounds, and the Bucks pulled out a 107-104...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Drew Brees and the Saints still have one of the league’s top-scoring offenses, but lately it’s the defense that has been carrying the NFL’s most complete team. On a night when Brees and the offense couldn’t get much going and made uncharacteristic mistakes, New Orleans put the clamps on Cam Newton and the Panthers in a 12-9 victory on Monday, moving the Saints into position to secure home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs. “I believe in us, game in and game out, first quarter...

On Monday’s “The Daily Show,” Trevor Noah had a huge laugh talking about Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller, after Miller went on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” — and faced ridicule from said nation over his hair. At issue: Miller appeared to have deployed spray-on hair to mask his receding hairline for his appearance on the CBS show to talk about the border wall Trump wants to build. Except he wasn’t remotely subtle about it, and the effect was a stark contrast in the color of different parts of his hair that everyone noticed. Читать дальше...

SAN DIEGO (AP) — One by one, U.S. Magistrate Judge William Gallo called the names of 14 defendants who were charged with entering the country illegally. Defense attorneys told him the government had already deported them to Mexico, making it impossible for them to appear. In a rebuke to the government, the judge immediately dismissed all charges and ordered that their bond money be returned. The scene played out every day for several weeks in San Diego — another example of judges challenging President... Читать дальше...

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities say a volunteer firefighter in north-central Arizona has died in an accident involving an all-terrain vehicle.

The Warriors might boast the most loaded roster in the NBA, but even they are vulnerable to injuries. Over the past six weeks, as it endured a rash of minor ailments, Golden State hardly looked like a prohibitive championship favorite. In their 110-93 rout of the Grizzlies Monday night at Oracle Arena, the Warriors made one thing certain: They’re still quite daunting when healthy. In its first game since Oct. 26 with its top six players available, Golden State showcased its collective powers, pulling... Читать дальше...

ARIES. (March 20 - April 18): A decision to cut back hurts, but it will yield better returns in the long run. Meanwhile prep yourself for going the distance.

PHOENIX (AP) — A Tonalea man has been sentenced to more than two years in federal prison for assaulting a Navajo Nation police officer. Federal prosecutors say 30-year-old Randell William Lane got a 26-month prison term Monday. He also was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Phoenix to three years of supervised release. Lane previously pleaded guilty to assault on a federal officer. Authorities say a tribal police officer tried to arrest Lane on March 12 but he resisted, ran to his vehicle and grabbed a machete.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports the list of names released Monday outlines the allegations, with the oldest accusations dating back to the 1950s. A number of the allegations surfaced decades after the abuse occurred. The list shows that eight of the men have since died and one is incarcerated. The... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Russia's sweeping political disinformation campaign on U.S. social media was more far-reaching than originally thought, with troll farms working to discourage black voters and "blur the lines between reality and fiction" to help elect Donald Trump in 2016, according to reports released Monday by the Senate intelligence committee. And the campaign didn't end with Trump's ascent to the White House. Troll farms are still working to stoke racial and political passions in America at a time of high political discord.

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Aviation officials have delayed the release of a sound map showing how noise from incoming F-35 fighter jets could affect the areas around Burlington International Airport. Airport Deputy Director of Aviation Nic Longo says the map was pushed back from its original Dec. 17 deadline because they needed radar data from the Federal Aviation Administration. The Burlington Free Press reports the airport's sound map will be released in February 2019. The planes are due to arrive... Читать дальше...

BEND, Ore. (AP) — Two Oregon jail inmates have been incarcerated longer following an escape attempt that Deschutes County Circuit Court Judge A. Michael Adler says was "one of the dumbest things I've seen in a while."

The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office says the two men stole an all-terrain vehicle while on a work detail at... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The fight over President Donald Trump's $5 billion wall funds has deepened, threatening a partial government shutdown in a standoff that has become increasingly common in Washington. It wasn't always like this, with Congress and the White House at a crisis over government funding. The House and Senate used to pass annual appropriation bills, and the president signed them into law. But in recent years the shutdown scenario has become so routine that it raises the question: Have shutdowns as a negotiating tool lost their punch? Читать дальше...

Democratic National Committee officials and a group of state party leaders are trying to resolve an increasingly ugly dispute over how the party manages and pays for the voter data used in campaigns. The saga, which spilled into open view in recent weeks, eventually will determine how extensive and useful a voter information file will be to the Democratic presidential nominee in 2020. The fight also is testing DNC Chairman Tom Perez and his promises to rebuild trust across Democrats' national headquarters... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order soon, possibly as early as Tuesday, creating a U.S. Space Command that will better organize and advance the military's vast operations in space, U.S. officials say. Vice President Mike Pence will make the announcement Tuesday at the Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, Florida, two U.S. officials said. Trump's order is separate from his oft-stated goal of creating a "Space Force" as an independent armed service branch... Читать дальше...

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — If the deep field of potential Democratic presidential contenders is on pins and needles as Beto O'Rourke decides his next move, it could be a long wait. The outgoing Texas congressman's team says he has no timeline or roadmap for deciding if he'd like to parlay a surprisingly close loss to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz into a White House try. People close to O'Rourke insist he hasn't expanded staff or lined up consultants even as the interest in him intensifies. They say he's spoken to top Democratic donors... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Michael Flynn will likely walk out of a courtroom a free man due to his extensive cooperation with federal prosecutors, but the run-up to his sentencing hearing Tuesday has exposed raw tensions over an FBI interview in which he lied about his Russian contacts. The former national security adviser's lawyers have suggested that investigators discouraged him from having an attorney present during the January 2017 interview and never informed him it was a crime to lie. Prosecutors shot back... Читать дальше...

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Prosecutors won't file criminal charges in the death of a man who struggled with Anaheim police. The parents of 35-year-old Christopher Eisinger are suing Anaheim for negligence and wrongful death. But the Orange County district attorney's office says police did nothing wrong when they tried to arrest Eisinger just after midnight on March 2 while investigating an auto burglary. The DA's report earlier this month says Eisinger fought with officers for five minutes before apparently losing consciousness. Читать дальше...
