Roberts made the remarks in his annual report for 2019 as he prepares to preside over a Senate trial of President Donald Trump, who was impeached by the House shortly before Christmas. The most senior judge in the federal judiciary used a story about a rumor from the late 18th century to illustrate his point about the pernicious effect of gossip and disinformation. Reports that medical students in New York were robbing graves sparked outrage and sparked a riot when one specific rumor claimed they had taken the corpse of a schoolboy’s mother to use for dissection....

Ginsburg, 87, said in the statement she began treatment May 19 after a biopsy showed she had lesions on her liver. “Immunotherapy first essayed proved unsuccessful. The chemotherapy course, however, is yielding positive results. Satisfied that my treatment course is now clear, I am providing this information,” Ginsburg said. She said a July 7 scan showed there was a “significant reduction” in her liver lesions “and no new disease.”...

And that claim is utterly false. In fact, what has just transpired is far more of a triumph for democracy than for the pro-life cause. It is fair to say that the decision may be the most important victory for the preservation of the democratic process the Supreme Court has ever delivered. How so? We’ve all heard the ruling in Roe summarized like this: “The Supreme Court legalized abortion.” In fact, in the last month or so, The New York Times, National Public Radio, and many other major news sources used this phrasing to describe the Court’s history....

The audit found “a very solid security premise” at Surfshark, although a few easily fixable issues were also uncovered. Surfshark Third-Party Audit Confirms Security Credentials Surfshark asked Berlin-based security company Cure53 to audit its service, delving into server security, VPN configurations, and related infrastructure. Cure53’s official report [PDF] found Surfshark’s overall security “solid” and that the “overall outcome should be regarded as good.” The testing team found very few security issues, uncovering four “security-relevant” weaknesses in the system....

Greg Graziani, the director of wildlife at Florida Gator Gardens, around 100 miles from Tampa, was attacked on August 17 “during a routine interaction with [the park’s] large alligators.” According to a post on social media by the park, the incident left Graziani with a seriously injured hand and arm. He was then taken to Tampa General Hospital. “The accident was an extreme injury that left Greg’s hand connected by one tendon,” said another post by the park....

It’s been a good week for Dale Earnhardt Jr., who officially celebrates his 40th birthday Friday. Well, it’s been a good week except for that lousy 39th-place finish Sunday at Kansas Speedway when a flat tire sent him into the wall. But even that finish, which dumped him to 11th in the Cup standings, couldn’t ruin what has been a fun week for the Hendrick Motorsports driver. Upbeat and positive, Earnhardt appeared relaxed rather than frustrated prior to practice Thursday at Charlotte Motor Speedway....

Gunshots rang out during country music singer Jason Aldean’s set at the music festival in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. The shooting, believed to be carried out by a single person firing from the window of a suite at Mandalay Bay hotel, claimed the lives of 58 people. Two years later, the festival returned to Las Vegas, although in a different location, and on Tuesday, people sought to honor the victims in their own way....

Collins, who is widely considered of the Senate’s most moderate Republicans, said she “fought very hard” for an independent, bipartisan committee to investigate the riots. “I think it would have had far more credibility than Speaker Pelosi’s partisan committee that she has set up,” she said. “We should have had a 9/11 style commission to fully look at what happened.” CNN host Jake Tapper pushed back against her remarks, saying that the bipartisan committee was opposed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and that two Republicans, Representatives Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, are on the committee....

The incident began on Friday night near the town of Platteville, located in Weld County, Colorado, north of Denver. Local police officers had been responding to reports about a road rage incident involving a gun in the nearby town of Fort Lupton when they pulled over a 20-year-old woman believed to be a suspect, according to The Denver Post. As she was hailed by police, the woman pulled over onto the side of the road just ahead of a set of railroad tracks, with the officer parking the patrol car on the tracks themselves....

The 32-year-old reportedly came to New Zealand in 2011 and gained his refugee status two years later, the New Zealand Herald reported on Saturday. Samsudeen, a man reportedly inspired by the Islamic State ideology, entered a Countdown supermarket in Lynn Mall in Auckland on Friday and stabbed six people within 60 seconds before police shot him dead. Like other shoppers, Samsudeen wheeled in a shopping cart into the supermarket, the police said in a statement....

CM Punk, who was moved to SmackDown live events for this summer, is not advertised for any more SmackDown live events after the July 29th live event in Pikeville, KY.

In the 22nd minute, and against the run of play, the striker pounced on a loose ball before splitting the Gunners’ defence with a pass for Samuel Clucas to finish past Petr Cech. Paul Clement’s men went into the break with the lead but were brought level by a Saed Kolasinac strike in the 51st minute. Immediately, Abraham scored at the other end to put the visitors back in front but it was ruled out for offside and, thus, would have to wait for his fifth league strike....

Speculation has connected Llorente to Chelsea throughout the transfer window, with the Blues looking for some experienced back-up to new signing Alvaro Morata and last season’s star forward Diego Costa having been marginalised. Swansea to finish in the top half 6/1 with dabblebet But Clement is confident of keeping the 32-year-old, who scored 15 Premier League goals last season but is out injured with a broken arm suffered while cycling on holiday....

Swansea are yet to taste victory in the league since the opening day win against Burley in August, and their poor form has seen them slump to the bottom of the table with just six points from their first 12 games. Crystal Palace are 16th in the standings, five points ahead of Swansea and one above safety. Bradley has divided opinion among the Swansea faithful, with the American still searching for his first win since taking over from Francesco Guidolin last month, but encouraging performances have given the fans cause for optimism....

In goal, it will be no surprise to see Arsenal number 1, Wojciech Szczesny take his place back after a break during midweek. The Pole has shown improvement between the sticks this season but has only managed one clean sheet this campaign. The back four would see the return of Laurent Koscielny, Bacary Sagna and Kieren Gibbs to the line up alongside Per Mertesacker. Since the German played a full 120 minutes against West Brom in the Capital One Cup, and hasn’t got a break for quite a while, the club skipper, Vermaelen might be played alongside Koscielny....
