The government has compiled a list of 102 of the youngest children now in custody around the country in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, which last month won a preliminary injunction ordering speedy reunification...

Tab Hunter, the blond actor and singer who was a heartthrob for millions of teenagers in the 1950s with such films as “Battle Cry” and “Damn Yankees!” and received new attention decades later when he revealed that he was gay, has died. He was 86. Producer and spouse Allan Glaser said Hunter died Sunday in Santa Barbara of a blood clot in his leg that caused cardiac arrest. Glaser called the death “sudden and unexpected.” In addition to his hit movies, Hunter’s recording... Читать дальше...

ROME — As NATO allies convene, one issue not on their formal agenda but never far from their thoughts is immigration — even though illegal border crossings are decreasing on both sides of the Atlantic. The separation of families at the U.S.-Mexico border and Italy’s refusal to let shipwrecked migrants disembark in its ports illustrate the hardening positions on border control in Washington and European capitals. Lost in the heated political debate is the fact that... Читать дальше...

“To ask ‘Whatever happened to Tab Hunter?'” a reporter for The New York Times once wrote, “is to ask ‘Whatever happened to America?'” As we remember Hunter — the Hollywood heartthrob who died this week a few days shy of his 87th birthday — it’s clear that his own career and personal path follows America’s (and Hollywood’s) arc of understanding homosexuality in the post-WWII era. A performer who was once deeply closeted in the industry could, in his later years, make two outrageous comedies in which... Читать дальше...

LONDON — British police said Monday they believe the latest victims of poisoning by a nerve agent must have handled the material’s container and been subjected to a “high dose” of the lethal poison. Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said the death of 44-year-old Dawn Sturgess on Sunday shows that she and partner Charlie Rowley, 45, were exposed to a large quantity of Novichok, a military-grade nerve agent produced in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. ...

Turns out, comedian and provocateur Sacha Baron Cohen has been secretly filming a new TV show for a year. And it airs this week. And there’s almost no information about it — but there are some potential clues. On Monday, Showtime announced the show, called “Who Is America?” with a teaser video full of flashes of imagery that might suggest where Baron Cohen is going with this new project. This includes a promo by former Vice President Dick Cheney, who teases that he’s an interview subject in the first episode of “Who is America?”... Читать дальше...

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill defiantly rejected calls to resign Monday, saying his name has been “dragged through the gutter,” following allegations that he inappropriately touched a lawmaker and several female legislative staffers during a party. The Republican said during a news conference where he did not take questions that he has been unfairly treated by lawmakers and the media, and stands “falsely and publicly accused of abhorrent behavior.” “These past several days and weeks...

Is David Lynch just too damn weird for Emmy voters? That’s a question that could be answered by Emmy nominations in the limited series and television movie categories, where Lynch’s return to “Twin Peaks” on Showtime is both a monumental achievement and one of the strangest things ever put on television. Among the top contenders in the limited series category, the 18-episode “Twin Peaks” is longest piece of work by more than six hours — and it’s also so bizarre that it makes the last season of...

Nancy Pelosi moved to clarify a statement she gave to Rolling Stone magazine over the weekend in which she appeared to announce that she is a member of the LGBTQ community. “She means she’s pro-LGBTQ,” Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff Drew Hammill told TheWrap on Monday. “As Leader and Speaker, Nancy Pelosi has, according to the Advocate, ‘driven LGBT causes further than any other person in Washington.’ The Leader is very clearly referring to her longstanding work in this regard in this interview,” Hammill added in a statement.

NEW YORK — A judge denied a request from prosecutors Monday to place Harvey Weinstein under house arrest in light of new charges against the movie producer that carry a penalty of life in prison if he is convicted.

Three women have now accused him of forcing them to have sex against their will over the past 14 years... Читать дальше...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky’s Republican governor and Democratic attorney general have disagreed so often that a judge has had to settle their disputes at least eight times in just 2½ years. Now, voters could finally get a chance to settle the feud next year. Andy Beshear announced Monday he will seek the Democratic nomination for governor in 2019. He is the first candidate to formally enter the race, as Republican Gov. Matt Bevin has not said whether he will seek re-election. Читать дальше...

WICHITA, Kan. — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has complied with a judge’s order by fully registering thousands of voters whose eligibility to cast a ballot had been in limbo because of the state’s now-defunct proof-of-citizenship requirement, according to court records. Some 25,000 Kansans will have their voting status solidified ahead of the Aug. 7 primary as a result of the move. Kobach is seeking the Republican nomination for governor in that election, challenging incumbent Jeff Colyer. Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles authorities are searching for several suspects in the brutal beating of a 92-year-old man out for a walk on the Fourth of July. Eyewitness video aired by KABC-TV shows the man on the ground moments after the attack, dazed and with blood streaming down his face. The woman who took the video says he was struck with a piece of concrete several times in the head.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged Republican state lawmakers to reconsider their opposition to legislation codifying abortion rights in New York state law. Cuomo said Monday that the GOP-led Senate should immediately reconvene to pass the measure in light of a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court. Many Democrats and abortion-rights supporters believe a new justice appointed by Republican President Donald Trump could tilt the court in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. Читать дальше...

LONDON (AP) — Ex-health minister Jeremy Hunt appointed Britain's new foreign secretary after Boris Johnson quits.

In eight years, all this fun and excitement that the world is currently having will be ours. A few weeks ago, the 2026 World Cup was awarded to a joint bid of the United States, Mexico and Canada. It is only the second time that more than one country has been chosen to host and the first time there will be three hosts.
