A.J. Brown’s highly anticipated debut with the New England Patriots was interrupted by an apparent injury in the third quarter of Wednesday’s NFL season opener. Brown appeared to suffer the injury while trying to make a catch at Lumen Field against the Seattle Seahawks. The game was billed as a rematch of Super Bowl LX, which Seattle won in February by defeating New England 29-10 to claim the franchise’s second Vince Lombardi Trophy. New England led 10-0 when Brown exited the game Wednesday.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld an injunction blocking the Internal Revenue Service from sharing personal information such as the addresses of taxpayers with immigration authorities, ruling the Trump administration's policy was unlawful. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that the IRS unlawfully disclosed taxpayer information in response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement's request for the last known addresses of 1.28 million suspected illegal migrants . The court said the IRS failed to ensure that ICE's requests met the "stringent conditions" required under a federal tax-confidentiality law adopted in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, which generally bars the IRS from sharing tax-return information with other federal agencies. Last year, the IRS shared roughly 47,000 taxpayer addresses with ICE under a policy that aims to assist President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda . The IRS had adopted a polic...

Two candidates — Stefany Shaheen, the daughter of retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Maura Sullivan, an Obama-era official — remained locked in a Democratic primary race early Wednesday morning in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District. The contested race remains too close to call as both Shaheen and Sullivan, the two frontrunners, vie for a chance to keep the district under Democratic control as its incumbent, Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., pursues higher office. Pappas, who has represented the district since 2019, announced a bid for the U.S. Senate last year.

Authorities on Tuesday said key braking systems did not deploy during Sunday’s deadly plane crash after an Amazon cargo jet overran the runway at Miami International Airport and struck two vehicles, killing five people. While the aircraft’s wheel brakes were applied, available data indicates that the speed brakes and thrust reversers did not, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). There was "no indication in the recorded data that speed brakes or thrust reversers were deployed," Chihoon Shin, the NTSB investigator in charge, said. Shin said investigators plan to interview the pilots involved, adding that officials are not yet going to speculate about what should have happened during the landing.

The direction of the Democrat Party is the talk of the 2026 midterms . Will it go farther left or somehow moderate? The simple answer is that Democrat Party will move even farther left. As the nation considers this question, it is a mistake to look at the current Democrat Party in a vacuum. We should not be focused on individual candidates. The focus should be on the trend. What is happening in the modern Democrat Party is the natural progression of parties on the left. HOW THE 'LONG MARCH' THROUGH THE INSTITUTIONS LED TO SOCIALIST TAKEOVER OF DEM PARTY: 'NEED TO WAKE UP' Consider this: In 1887, President Grover Cleveland, a Democrat, vetoed a drought relief bill stating that "Though the people support the government, the government should not support the people." Cleveland’s message was stark. Government was not our brother’s keeper. A half century later, however, the times and the Democrat Party changed dramatically, with government support of the people at ...

The Texas Board of Education gave final approval to changes to the state's high school social studies curriculum, a controversial move that will impact how students are taught about Islam and Christianity. The amended social studies curriculum, which covers U.S. history, government and world geography, comes after dozens of people gave public testimony, with most expressing their opposition to the finalized version. The board approved language asserting that "radical Islam" motivated the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks rather than taking a more narrow focus on the terrorist groups involved in the attack. The material also requires students to study early Islam through Prophet Muhammad's "brutal military campaigns against Jewish and Christian tribes," the "normalization of slavery" and the taking of female captives as "harem slaves."
