WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday struck down part of a law that bans offensive trademarks, ruling in favor of an Asian American rock band called the Slants and giving a major boost to the Washington Redskins in their separate legal fight over the team name. The justices were unanimous in saying that the 71-year-old trademark law barring disparaging terms infringes free-speech rights guaranteed in the Constitution’s First Amendment. Slants founder Simon Tam tried to trademark the band name in 2011... Читать дальше...

Before their names shared space on the silver U.S. Open trophy, Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth were together in a less attractive location. Both failed by three shots to advance out of the second stage of qualifying school in Texas, leaving them with no status on any tour. Spieth, a U.S. Junior Amateur champion who won an NCAA title with Texas, received sponsor exemptions to PGA Tour and Web.com Tour events and rode a runner-up finish in the Puerto Rico Open to a meteoric year that ended with him on the Presidents Cup team at age 20.

ATLANTA - As the Giants enter the summer months and approach the trade deadline, they’ll be making choices they haven’t had to make for a long time, at least since they started winning championships. Among the scouts in attendance for Monday’s series opener at the new SunTrust Park, won by the Braves 9-0, were those focusing on Cueto, who can opt out after this season from his six-year, $130 million contract. If the Giants believe they’d lose the 31-year-old pitcher — there are no signs he won’t opt out ... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — White House press secretary Sean Spicer is seeking to take on a more strategic role that would give him a limited presence in the daily press briefings that have made him a prominent face of the Trump administration. The White House has consulted an array of Republicans and Trump allies, including Laura Ingraham, the conservative radio host and political commentator. David Martosko, the U.S. political editor of London's Daily Mail, who covered the president's campaign, has also interviewed for senior communications jobs... Читать дальше...

In aggressively worded statements and confrontational TV appearances, Trump's personal lawyers and newly hired proxies have shown themselves more than ready to defend him in the manner to which he is accustomed — with arguments seemingly aimed at public opinion as much as at warding off any actual legal threat from prosecutors. The Trump team's style makes for a study in contrasts when compared to the seasoned group of prosecutors and criminal law experts working under Robert Mueller, the tight-lipped, respected ex-FBI director.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Americans say federal courts are acting properly in blocking President Donald Trump's travel ban, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll shows a sharp partisan divide: 82 percent of Democrats say the courts acted rightly, while 73 percent of Republicans say they're wrongly interfering. "From the beginning President Trump said, even before the election, that he intended to ban Muslims, not that he intended to ban terrorists but Muslims," said Nick Hardy... Читать дальше...

The 1998 op-ed, which has been re-circulating on social media given Pence’s role in the Donald Trump administration, was published on the website for his talk radio show after seeing the film with his kids on Fathers Day weekend. “For those who have not yet been victimized by the McDonald’s induced hysteria over this film, Mulan is a fictional account of a delicate girl of the same name who surreptitiously takes her fathers place in the Chinese army in one of their ancient wars against the Huns,” Pence wrote.

If Kevin Durant signs the maximum extension for which he is eligible this summer — which starts at roughly $35.4 million per year — the Warriors would need to renounce their rights to Iguodala and Shaun...

Motive baffles UPS workplace shooting survivor SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A San Francisco UPS driver recovering from a gunshot wound said Monday in an interview that he does not understand why his colleague Jimmy Lam shot him and killed three fellow drivers last week, but does not believe the shooter had reason to feel disrespected, which police have suggested as a possible motive.
