Just over a year ago, Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an apparent effort to disrupt the formal certification of President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory. The assault came after the former president for months claimed the elections results were “rigged” and told supporters at a nearby rally that day to head to the legislative building and “fight like hell” to save their country. As the nation marked the one-year anniversary of the Capitol attack this week, Democrats—and some Republicans—raised concerns about Trump’s continued assertion that the 2020 election was “stolen” in favor of Biden....

“I think the murkiness is a result of the proximity of the election, and everybody kind of trying to elbow for political advantage,” the Kentucky Republican said during an event in his home state. “I’d like to see us rise above that like we did back in March and April, but I think that’s unlikely in the next three weeks.” McConnell’s remarks only reaffirm the political reality of trying to forge a bipartisan agreement leading into a major election with a president who continues to offer about-face positions on whether he wants more economic relief before voters cast their ballots....

Absent from the NCAA's statement was any definitive word on fellow Tar Heels guard P.J. Hairston, who also has been and continues to be under investigation. The NCAA said that, "McDonald’s reinstatement request is the only one the NCAA has received from North Carolina." UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham said Wednesday night that a Hairston resolution was just days away. “The University of North Carolina is working with P.J. Hairston and his family to settle a few unresolved issues that remain....

The original Big Mac is made up of two beef patties, Special Sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame seed bun. However, the Double Big Mac features all these ingredients but with twice the amount of beef patties, while the Little Mac provides a taste of the original, with just one beef patty. The Double Mac and Little Mac will be available at participating restaurants from Wednesday for a limited time....

The video was posted to TikTok on Wednesday by Brittani Marie Curtis (@brittanicurtis23), who wrote: “no lie, ya girl is TIRED!” The 22-second clip has racked up more than 530,000 views and over 90,000 comments. “When a customer calls and says they need 1,600 mcchicken [sic], 1,600 mcdoubles and 3,200 cookies in four hours,” the video’s text overlay read. The video shows countless stacked boxes filled with sandwiches in the fast-food restaurant’s kitchen area....

In addition to the summer jobs at McDonald’s restaurants, all employees will have to take extra measures to protect themselves and customers while in the workplace. According to Company News HQ, nearly 50 new safety procedures have been put in place. Among these procedures, McDonald’s employees will be trained for the opening of dining rooms, where customers usually gather to eat their Quarter Pounders and fries. Not only will workers have their temperature checked, the restaurant crew will have to get used to wearing masks and gloves....

The strike occurred near the capital city of Kabul on August 29 and killed 10 people, including seven children. The Pentagon said the strike was aimed at a member of ISIS-K, an affiliate of the Islamic State militant group, who they suspected was carrying a bomb. McKenzie said that the military did not know the strike had hit others in error “until sometime later.” On September 1, the Pentagon announced that in addition to an “ISIS facilitator,” “others” were killed in the strike....

It's an interesting concept in modern basketball — not quite unique, but getting there too quickly. I trace it to the summer of 2008, when the basketball world became obsessed with how things would develop for LeBron James. This involved not how James would play for the Cleveland Cavaliers in either of the next two seasons, but which team he would choose to play for when he became a free agent in 2010....

Following Iowa State's loss Saturday at Oklahoma, four teams are unbeaten: Arizona, Syracuse, Wisconsin and Wichita State. To be in that group the Shockers rallied from a 19-point deficit in Saturday's final 12 minutes and downed Missouri State in overtime. In order, these are the past three teams that covered a particular segment without a loss:— 2004 Saint Joseph's, regular season— 1991 UNLV, regular season/conference tournament— 1976 Indiana, wire to wire....

In an advisory, the Los Angeles Department of Public Health said four residents were “exposed to an unimmunized, international visitor who was infectious with measles” in Los Angeles County. Officials warned there was a possible risk of exposure to measles at a number of locations the individual visited between January 26 and February 1. The patient visited a CVS Pharmacy on San Vicente Boulevard on January 26, officials said. The Starbucks, Whole Foods, CVS Pharmacy, and Souplantation on San Vicente Boulevard, as well as a Pinkberry on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, were visited on January 27....

Injuries to the median nerve can lead to common symptoms of pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the upper extremity. The most common condition of median nerve dysfunction is called carpal tunnel syndrome, a problem that occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes by the wrist joint. Anatomy A nerve is a structure within your body that can deliver information to and from the brain. Impulses are channeled along the pathway of a nerve from the central nervous system, consisting of the brain and spinal cord, to the organs of your body....

At the time of the incident, a worker for an MTM subcontractor had been driving a 77-year-old woman home from a dialysis appointment. Police say that man, Dauda Elegushi, 25, of Providence, Rhode Island, had an open bottle of Modelo beer sitting in a cupholder when he collided head-on with another vehicle, according to WJAR. In a statement, the Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) said that MTM, which had been contracted to provide nonemergency medical-related transportation, has been instructed to change its procedure for reporting accidents and to create a plan to prevent the hiring of unqualified drivers....

They’re joined by a surprisingly large share of health care professionals. National Nurses United, Physicians for a National Health Program and the American College of Physicians—the nation’s second-largest doctors’ group—have all come out in favor of a government takeover of the country’s health insurance system. Doctors have moved leftward. More now identify as Democrats than Republicans, according to Gallup. But they may want to think twice about embracing Medicare for All, which would slash their pay, wrap them in red tape and lead to worse care for their patients....

The prospective system is less egalitarian than the one we have now, more stratified according to ability to pay and more expensive for those seeking treatment from some of America’s best doctors. So before this train gets any farther down the track, you need to ask yourselves: is this what you’re going to want? The transformation of Medicare will first be felt in November 1998, when seniors should get a government pamphlet explaining the health plans available in their area....

Pompey were his local team; his favourite team. They were the easy option. Southampton, meanwhile, were not only renowned for nurturing young talent, they were also nearby. Chelsea, by contrast, were based in London and the standard at Stamford Bridge was dauntingly high. “When I went on trial at Chelsea, it was like a year ahead of me,” Mount explains in an exclusive interview with Goal. “Their players were much better, the competition was much more intense and you could tell that it was different....

Rookie is a 10-week-old Goldendoodle, according to Curry’s wife Ayesha. “We got to meet our new baby boy last night! 😆 the girls named him ROOKIE! 10 weeks-ish old! Couldn’t be more fitting. He has my eyes lol.

Illinois Lottery officials on Thursday urged those with tickets for the July 29 drawing to check their numbers. The winning ticket, redeemable for a jackpot of $1.337 billion over 30 years or a lump sum of around $780 million, was sold at a Speedway gas station and convenience store in the Chicago suburb of Des Plaines. Winners have up to 12 months from the date of the drawing to redeem their tickets....

The winning numbers were 14, 36, 44, 46, and 53, and the Mega Ball number was 18 and the Megaplier was 2X, but did anyone win last night? Nobody matched all five numbers and the Mega Ball, so the jackpot has rolled over to Tuesday’s drawing—where it will be worth $40 million with a cash option of $28.2 million. There was also no one who managed to match all five numbers for the $1 million prize....

First Five: 16-20-25-30-43 Mega Ball: 18 Megaplier:3x Tuesday night’s 07/07/20 jackpot is $73 million, with a cash-value option of $57.2 million.
