The poll, conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California and released on Tuesday, found that 56 percent of voters were against the recall, 40 percent supported it and the remainder were undecided. The recall campaign submitted its petition to the state before the deadline on March 17.

Newsom briefly mentioned critics who launched a recall effort to remove him from office, but his speech mostly presented an optimistic view of a state recovering from an unprecedented pandemic. Coronavirus case numbers in the state have been steadily declining since mid-January. Along with the $600 stimulus checks, Newsom highlighted his administration’s recent approval of a $7.6 billion state stimulus package. The package contains money for food banks and diapers as well as funds for farmworkers and grants for small businesses....

What a shame the senators weren’t treated instead to The Celluloid Closet, from which they would have learned that the defaming of gays on film has a long and ignoble tradition. This smart, ruefully funny documentary, based on a groundbreaking book by the late Vito Russo, examines Hollywood’s depiction of homosexuality from the silent era to “Philadelphia,” decoding a century’s worth of lethal stereotypes and sly subtexts. In a frothier vein, perhaps the politicos should check out The Birdcage, Hollywood’s long-delayed remake of the 1978 French farce, “La Cage aux Folles....

Please retire, Arsene - before you destroy everything Despite securing three wins in a row at the beginning of the season, Benglauru FC’s talismen, Sunil Chhetri and Lyngdoh, seemed drained and out of form. The signs were a plenty, especially for the latter. In the very first match of the season Lyngdoh scuffed two chances in a row from just outside the box, something which he would have normally buried in his sleep with eyes closed....

This was after Giuliani rehashed a number of the same old conspiracy theories and accusations of voter fraud by Democrats in the 2020 election and President-Elect Joe Biden’s alleged corruption. Giuliani referenced a pivotal scene from the movie to drive home his points about alleged fraudulent mail-in ballots and the counting of votes. The only problem was, he got the whole plot twist of the scene completely wrong. “Did you all watch My Cousin Vinny?...

“So sad to see that New York City and State are falling apart. All they want to do is investigate to make me hate them even more than I should. Governor Cuomo has lost control, and lost his mind. Very bad for the homeless and all!” the president tweeted on Saturday.

The attorney and former Republican was once considered for senior roles in the current administration but has become one of Trump’s most prominent and fiercest critics. He is married to Kellyanne Conway, a senior White House adviser who helped to mastermind Trump’s 2016 campaign and remains a member of the president’s inner circle. “I think they need to do it in the next several weeks,” Conway told Preet Bharara, a former U....

But Kambosos isn’t wasting any time trying to get his belts back, with his father Jim Kambosos announcing via Instagram that he has officially activated the fight’s rematch clause. It was revealed in mid-May that as part of the Kambosos v Haney negotiations, the Australian had a rematch clause that would see him get another chance at the titles in Australia, should Haney win the first fight. There was speculation that Kambosos would not get his rematch straight away, with some believing that he would step aside to let Haney face Vasiliy Lomachenko, or that he was not competitive enough in the first fight to warrant a second....

The American controlled the bout, primarily thanks to his jab, in front of a raucous, pro-Kambosos crowd at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium. Kambosos did have some moments which got the fans on their feet but for the most part it was a Haney clinic. The jab, the counters, the head movement. It all proved too much for Kambosos to overcome in the end as he simply couldn’t get any momentum going in offence....

Among the journalists trying to get answers from Santos was Lalee Ibssa of ABC News, who tweeted that the soon-to-be Congressman “did not answer multiple questions, only telling me he will vote for Kevin McCarthy for speaker.” Santos was elected to New York’s 3rd district in November. A month later, The York Times reported on numerous claims Santos made on his resumé and in public statements that appeared to be false....

Santos is facing calls to resign after it emerged he fabricated large chunks of his resume, including details about his education, family background, and employment history.

I knew him as Anthony Devolder from Jackson Heights, Queens....

Bush gave his thoughts on the pullout of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, announced by President Joe Biden earlier this year, in an interview with international German broadcaster Deutsche Welle released Wednesday. NATO forces are also phasing out their departure from the country. Under Bush’s presidency, the U.S. was involved in the war in Afghanistan following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S. “It’s unbelievable how that society changed from the brutality of the Taliban, and all of a sudden—sadly—I’m afraid Afghan women and girls are going to suffer unspeakable harm,” said Bush....

Yes, Alabama came back from a 13-0 deficit to win in overtime with the help of a remarkable performance from freshman Tua Tagovailoa. Sure, every Georgia fan will replay the three-play sequence that started with Rodrigo Blankenship’s 51-yard field goal, heightened with Jonathan Ledbetter and Davin Bellamy’s sack and came crashing down with Tagovailoa’s 41-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith on second-and-26 all offseason. Alabama’s national championship machine is still the team to beat....

“What is needed is to forget the Cost-Benefit Approach with the Kremlin and develop a comprehensive and proactive, fierce strategy containing the Kremlin’s aggression,” former Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze told Newsweek. “The Free World should be principled and consistent in its decision making and accelerate the process of Georgia’s, Ukraine’s and Moldova’s accession to the European Union.” His request for an accelerated process comes as rebels in two breakaway regions in his country are backing Russia’s military intervention against Ukraine, where two other self-proclaimed states have played a critical role in Moscow’s efforts against Kyiv....
