WASHINGTON (AP) — Angry constituents confronted Republican lawmakers at separate town halls in California and Florida, fearful of the GOP promise to repeal former President Barack Obama's health care law without a comprehensive alternative. With the Trump administration support for scrapping the law, the Republican campaign to overturn it is no longer a political exercise to be stopped by Democrats and Obama but rather a reality.

Here are a few expert tips on why: Identity theft is a growing problem and one often tied to tax refund fraud, said Mark Steber, chief tax officer at Jackson Hewitt Tax Service. Once your return is filed with the IRS, the information — in particular your social security number — is locked and cannot be used again by anyone else.

SEATTLE (AP) — Lonzo Ball's demeanor stayed the same, even as the buzz built around his showdown with another standout freshman in Washington's Markelle Fultz. The expected faceoff between Ball and Fultz — two of the best freshmen in the country and expected to be among the top picks in the NBA draft — never materialized in the way the sellout crowd hoped. Ball finished with six rebounds, five assists and hit 7 of 12 shots, an impressive outing with 21 NBA scouts in attendance. The outcome was... Читать дальше...

[...] Donald Trump is giving the pre-game interview and Stranger Things is such a massive sensation that Netflix bought airtime during the Super Bowl LI broadcast to share the Halloween premiere date and first look at Season 2 of the sci-fi series. The eerie spot features vintage footage of an Eggo waffles commercial and confirmation that Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) is alive.

The New England Patriots were able to pull of a miraculous victory against the Atlanta Falcons to win Super Bowl LI and make Tom Brady the first quarter back to lead his team to five championship victories.

The AMC gorefest returns next Sunday for the second half of Season 7, and it reminded America of its Sunday night dominance with a short spot that shows a football getting smashed by Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) barbed wire-wrapped baseball bat Lucille followed by bold text declaring, Football season is over. Perhaps coincidentally, Season 7B of The Walking Dead and the Atlanta-based show's hometown football team the Atlanta Falcons have the same slogan -- "Rise Up."

Legacy made its highly-anticipated debut Sunday after the Super Bowl, and in typical 24 fashion, the episode was chock full of tension, torture, and jaw-dropping twists -- not to mention a body count that's undoubtedly only going to rise as the season goes on.

In this new throwback compilation from Twin Peaks' original two-season run, Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean), Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn), and the rest of the townies sip on some of that fish-infused joe as furiously as ever, with caffeine being the veritable lifeblood of their murder investigation efforts.

Just in case we'd forgotten from watching Shaquille O'Neal over the years go from star athlete to star pitchman, sports commentator, media personality and everything else, that dude is huge. The athletes, who'd never met, snapped the shot after the NBA hero walked into the room at an event; she of course posted the pic on Instagram.

- NFL (@NFL) February 5, 2017 Country star Luke Bryan sang the National Anthem before kickoff at Super Bowl LI in Houston Sunday night. The "Crash My Party" singer's baritone was a different voice than the National Anthem usually gets, but it was a pleasant, tasteful change of pace.

With no musical accompaniment, the three women, who in habited the roles of Eliza, Angelica and Peggy Schuyler in the groundbreaking Broadway musical, sang the song in perfect harmony -- including a sneaky feminist twist. The end of the first verse traditionally ends with "And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea," but the triplet added a suave "and sisterhood" to the end of the line.

Lady Gaga gave a Super Bowl halftime show that was equal parts her signature outre self and Americana -- somewhat surprisingly skipping the fierce political statement she was expected to make. [...] the message about inclusion came through clearly during her LGBT anthem "Born This Way," but Gaga also gave a touching and personal shout out to her dad and mom while singing "Million Reasons." [...] the singer dropped her mic (literally), and then -- much like she did when she entered -- she jumped... Читать дальше...
