The Dolphins suspended Shelby indefinitely on Monday for conduct detrimental to the team. Shelby’s attorney, Daniel Rosenberg, told the Palm Beach Post he believes his client was beaten by police, and he will not enter a guilty plea. Shelby’s mugshot (Palm Beach Post) “There was no report of a fight (in the club) or anything like that,” Rosenberg said....

UFC 246- The return of Conor McGregor In his last UFC outing, Conor McGregor suffered a loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in the main event of UFC 229 back in 2018. The fourth-round submission defeat to ‘The Eagle’ marked just McGregor’s second ever loss inside the UFC Octagon, as he hasn’t stepped back in the cage since. However, for his return fight, the Irishman will be facing Donald Cerrone in an exciting Welterweight bout....

He doesn’t see the Middle Jewel as tough. The Linemakers: Baffert’s stellar Preakness history “To me, the Preakness is the easiest of the three legs,” he said a few days after his American Pharoah held off the hard-charging Firing Line by a length in the Derby. “The Derby is the hardest. Once you get through there, you know your horses are in top form. It’s a two-week turnaround. It’s just a matter of getting there....

The Warriors on Monday added Cousins on a one-year, $5.3 million contract, collecting another NBA All-Star the way a hoarder collects yesterday’s newspaper. Unless you live in the Bay Area, this signing can only make you shake your head in consternation. Why bother playing out next season when the Warriors are so many miles ahead of everyone else? MORE: NBA free agent tracker — See who goes where That’s a fair bit of frustration....

Allen’s own behavior surprised her. As a health disparities expert at the University of Oklahoma, she spends a lot of time studying discrimination—and here she was, letting all these negative beliefs about aging seep out in a constant stream of quips and self-deprecating humor. Allen got another surprise when she completed a study on the health effects of such “everyday ageism.” Not only are seemingly innocuous everyday slights highly prevalent, but the people most exposed to them were also more likely to have health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic pain and depression....

By all appearances, the union movement’s clout keeps waning. Last month Caterpillar Inc. broke a strike by the powerful United Auto Workers; just last week the AFL-CIO’s endorsement of Bill Clinton’s presidential aspirations drew yawns. But even as unions struggle to maintain their presence in the workplace, they have managed to broaden their influence elsewhere through a network of alliances and institutions that rarely display the union label. Given the union movement’s low public standing, downplaying the label may help labor’s causes....

Through 12 games of the 2018 season, Rams DT Donald is being talked about as a potential MVP having accumulated 16.5 sacks despite not registering his first until Week 4. And so while his team may have already sewn up the NFC West title and a subsequent playoff berth, attention has turned to whether Donald can break Strahan’s long-standing record. Here we take a look at the Opta numbers behind Donald’s season....

“I’m hoping I can live a quiet, stress-free life and be free of any intimidation or harassment and just go on with my life as a normal 18-year-old kid attending college,” he told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Far from resuming the life of a typical teenager, however, Rittenhouse met with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida just days after the acquittal in November. “He called....

The 75-year-old Trump’s wax rendering is seen in a suit and tie, seated at a desk while checking his smartphone. The presidential seal can be seen on the wall above the statue, and former first lady Melania Trump is standing next to him in a blue dress, her go-to look during her husband’s 2016 presidential run, AP reported. “He looks very real, but he’s not quite orange enough,” said Marwa al-Haddad, a 27-year-old who took a selfie with Trump’s figure while attending the museum’s ceremonial opening....

Trump said that he would be announcing his nominee to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court on Saturday from the White House. Ginsburg passed away Friday at the age of 87 from pancreatic cancer. If a Trump nominee is confirmed to take Ginsburg’s place, that person would be the third Trump appointee to be named to a place on the nation’s highest court. Trump explained how it was his idea to create a list of potential nominees....

“The Republicans in the House of Representatives have a great opportunity today to rid themselves of a poor leader, a major Democrat talking point, a warmonger, and a person with absolutely no personality or heart,” Trump said in a statement. While Cheney easily won the support of her colleagues back in February, House Republicans voted to remove her as the conference’s chair in the second vote on her in the past four months....

While calling into The Water Cooler, a conservative podcast, Trump was asked by host David Brody if he supported incumbent RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel or challenger Harmeet Dhillon. Dhillon is an attorney and an RNC committeewoman whose California-based firm represents Trump. “Well, I can honestly say I like both of them. I mean, I get along with both of them. I haven’t taken a stance, you know. Let them fight it out,” Trump said....

Truth Social will launch on Presidents Day (February 22) and use AI software developed by Hive, a tech company based in San Francisco, California. The cloud-based AI will be automated to help Truth Social detect and censor images, videos, audio and text content that violate the site’s policies, Fox Business reported. Particularly, the AI will help eliminate “sexually-explicit content, and posts that include violence, bullying, hate speech, and spam,” Hive co-founder and CEO Kevin Guo told the aforementioned news outlet....

The delay raises questions about national security and the continuity of federal government operations at the highest level. Trump did say, however, that White House COVID-19 inoculations would be delayed “unless specifically necessary.” Since Trump returned to work in the Oval Office after he was hospitalized with the coronavirus in October, a number of staffers have fallen ill as the West Wing became a COVID-19 hotspot. Last week, Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani became the latest high-profile figure close to the president to announce they had caught the virus....

According to the FiveThirtyEight presidential popularity tracker, 52.9 percent of Americans disapproved of Trump’s record in office on average as of Wednesday, while 43.7 percent approved. But back in the end of July, the president’s disapproval rating was almost three points higher as 55.8 percent of U.S. adults told pollsters they were unhappy with the commander-in-chief. A fraction more than 40 percent said they approved of Trump’s record, putting his net disapproval rating at 15....

Los Angeles will receive at least the third seed in the Western Conference, but since division winners are guaranteed a top-four seed under the NBA’s current seeding system, it may be forced to play a team with a better record that is displaced by a division winner. MORE: NBA regular season’s wild final day | Pacers’ ‘Flo-Jo’ jerseys | LeBron picks Love for MVP? In the competitive West, that could mean a first-round matchup against the Grizzlies, Rockets or Spurs, all of which have better regular season marks than the Northwest Division champion Trail Blazers....

Hoetz, a molecular virology professor at Baylor College of Medicine, criticized West for his “anti-science aggression,” saying that it goes beyond misinformation. “It’s a killer,” he said. “Anti-science is now a leading cause of death in the United States.” He argued that vaccine hesitancy in places like Texas and Florida has cost lives. His new study found that if those two states had reached similar vaccine rates as northeast states—74 percent by July—22,000 lives could have been saved....
