Crew members intervened and the man was taken into custody by law enforcement, American Airlines said in a statement to Newsweek. According to ABC News, the suspect charged down the jetway and into the cockpit, damaging flight controls and attempting to jump out an open window as a pilot tried to stop him. The man was not identified. A video posted on social media by someone who appeared to have been at the airport captured the passenger as he was apparently trying to get out through the cockpit window....

It’s not that city officials are hostile to the timeless music of The Village People. It’s the dancing that’s illegal. Call it whatever you like–writhing, shimmying, bumping, grinding, “the white-man’s overbite”–but if three or more people are executing it in a bar, nightclub or music hall that does not have a valid New York City “cabaret” license, the establishment will be fined. If such “violations” occur again, they can be padlocked....

Day, 27, was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital after he was knocked out by his countryman in the 10th round of a bout on the undercard for Oleksandr Usyk’s heavyweight debut against Chazz Witherspoon. He was removed from the ring on a stretcher and is in a coma after emergency surgery. Day’s promoter Lou DiBella tweeted: “Pat Day makes any room he is in a better place. I’ve never met anyone who’s met Patrick and not liked him....

This is David Smith’s story. You can see David Smith’s stories in his scars. Snapshots of a life spent scaling hills and crawling beneath barbed wire—a life built around the barriers of obstacle courses. The indent on his left eyebrow is a memory of the branch that struck him as he sprang from tree to tree. His crooked left pinky marks the time his hand hit the steel of a monkey bar at the wrong angle....

The Bob Baffert-trained colt won the Derby in a time of 2:03.02 and will now turn his attention to the Preakess Stakes on May 16 in Baltimore. So what more is there to know about American Pharoah?

That sort of success looked like it might not come after his career hit a crossroads just two years ago. Gall found himself without a club and with very few options in March 2016, after having been let go by the Columbus Crew after two largely uneventful seasons. A loan move to USL side Austin Aztex helped him find some playing time, but it wasn’t enough to convince the Crew to find him a regular place on its squad....

The poll’s findings, which were published on Wednesday, come ahead of President Joe Biden’s scheduled prime-time address to the nation on Thursday night. Biden is expected to address threat to democracy during the speech. The Quinnipiac poll found that 67 percent of Americans believe democracy is in danger of collapse compared to 29 percent who did not. This was a nine-point increase from a Quinnipiac poll in January, which found that 58 percent of Americans believed that U....

The president announced last month that would revoke a decades-old rule that allowed California to set its own emissions standards. Despite Trump’s challenge to California, 49 percent of adults said they supported California’s setting its fuel efficiency standards, according to a YouGov poll released on Monday. Only 27 percent of respondents oppose the state’s decision to set its own fuel standards. The president sought to frame his decision as a trade-off between more stringent environmental standards and job creation–an argument Trump has previously made to promote environmental deregulation....

Putting aside the question of good manners (recent years have taught us that no time is too early to politicize a tragedy), what got my attention during the President’s remarks was the immediate, unapologetic foisting of domestic American politics on a completely foreign affair. Of course, President Biden is hardly the first to engage in this kind of centrifugal thinking when it comes to the U.S. The unblinking pivot from foreign to domestic is nothing short of a long-standing tradition....

More Americans view the Russian president as a stronger leader than Biden, according to a new poll. Thirty percent of those polled described Biden as a strong leader, compared with 57 percent who said the same about Putin. The findings come as Biden warns Putin not to invade Ukraine, threatening “swift and severe consequences” if Russian forces cross the border into the Eastern European nation. Fears of war have been growing for months as Moscow builds up its military presence around Ukraine, amassing an estimated 130,000 troops....

But now? MORE: Kobe’s rant | Kobe mad at teammate, too | Top 25 players of Class of 2015 Now, the United States men own the FIBA World Championships at every age group in which tournaments are contested: senior men, U-19, U-17.

“There is no excuse for these tweets and the sentiment behind them. I am deeply sorry and apologize,” Jourdan Rodrigue said in a written apology. The Twitter user Wednesday night replied to Rodrigue’s tweet that referenced Newton’s comment with a screen shot of her older tweets. Newton on Wednesday, before answering a question from Rodrigue about wide receiver Devin Funchess and the routes he runs, said, “It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes like that....

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin have discussed the issue with Pelosi, as well as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), but have thus far failed to settle on a compromise. Commenting on the stalemate during an ABC News town hall on Tuesday, Trump was asked why he did not meet with the Speaker and “hammer it out in the Oval Office.” To this, Trump said: “Because they know exactly where I stand....

Amir ‘King’ Khan says he’ll give boxing fans a fight to remember when he steps in the ring against Samuel Vargas on Sept. 8 at Arena Birmingham in the UK. Khan’s last fight against Phil Lo Greco on April 21 came after nearly two years away from the ring. The last time Khan (32-4) fought before that was in a sixth-round knockout loss to Canelo Alvarez on May 7, 2016....

Amitriptyline is classified as a tricyclic antidepressant. For years, some healthcare providers have considered it a front-line treatment for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). However, this came about more from trial-and-error use than clinical studies. In recent years, especially with the advent of FDA-approved fibromyalgia treatments, use of amitriptyline for these illness has declined. Amitriptyline is still, however, sometimes used as a reference drug in fibromyalgia treatment studies, and many healthcare providers still prescribe it for these conditions....

Because it has been proven in studies to be highly effective as a prophylactic migraine medication, it is approved for this use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as by drug regulatory agencies in numerous other countries. Besides Topamax, topiramate is sold under two other brand names—Qudexy XR and Trokendi XR—and is also available in a generic form. How It Works Topamax blocks channels in the body that deliver electrical impulses to nerve, muscle, and brain cells....

Today, we are experiencing an organized force that is trying to erase trans youth from public life: organizations, billionaires and religious extremists have been working for decades to create laws and influence public opinion to harm and attack trans people. Since the 1980s, there has been a proliferation of institutions on the right with innocuous sounding names but an ominous goal. Organizations such as Family Research Council, Family Policy Alliance and Alliance Defending Freedom are all seeking to enshrine religious extremism—cloaked as religious liberty—into American law....
