The closure of the site could affect hundreds of jobs. Workers, investigators and the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) are discussing the significance of the nooses and how to keep workers safe henceforth. Nooses and hanging ropes tied into loops typically signify a violent threat, especially against Black Americans who were often hung from nooses during public lynchings in the 19th and 20th centuries....

Heard granted Guthrie her first interview since losing a defamation trial against ex-husband Depp. Previews are playing out on the Today Show on Tuesday and Wednesday before the full interview airs on Dateline Friday. Guthrie posed hard-hitting questions to Heard as she reflected on her loss in the multi-million dollar trial. During the closing statements, Depp’s attorney Camille Vasquez claimed Heard had put on the “performance of a lifetime” while testifying on the stand in the Fairfax County courtroom in Virginia....

The exes were locked in a high-profile court battle after Depp, 59, filed a $50 million lawsuit against Heard, 36, over a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, in which she said that she was a survivor of domestic abuse. Following a six-week trial, a jury on June 1 awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. In her first interview since the trial, Heard told Today co-host Savannah Guthrie that she had no hard feelings about why the jurors at Virginia’s Fairfax County Circuit Court ruled largely in favor of her former husband....

The Pirates of the Caribbean star is suing his ex-wife for $50 million over an essay she wrote about domestic abuse published in The Washington Post in 2018. Heard, meanwhile, is countersuing for $100 million for nuisance. In the article, Heard claimed that she was a victim of domestic abuse. While she didn’t name Depp, his legal team argues it is clear that she was referring to her ex-husband, which led to him losing out on work....

The Tesla CEO’s deal to take over the company closed last week, although the billionaire had tried to pull out from the deal in July, which prompted Twitter to sue him in response. He has spoken repeatedly of prioritizing free speech on the platform. As Twitter users gear up for anticipated changes, it was noticed on Tuesday that the account belonging to Heard had been unexpectedly deactivated. “Amber Heard has deleted her Twitter,” read a tweet from YouTuber Matthew Lewis, who is better known on social media as That Umbrella Guy....

NBC announced on Monday that it has secured an interview with Heard for a primetime special airing on June 17, with her interviewer being Today co-host Guthrie, whose husband, Michael Feldman, was a consultant for Depp’s legal team. Depp, 59, filed a $50 million lawsuit against ex-wife Heard, 36, over a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, in which she said that she was a domestic abuse survivor. Following a six-week trial, the jury on June 1 awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages....

For standing up himself when he was confronted by Casey Mears Saturday night at Richmond. And for standing up for himself in explaining and defending his actions on Thursday. Don’t get me wrong, what Ambrose did was, on the surface, wrong. You can’t have drivers going around punching each other in the face, no matter how angry or passionate they are. Fans shouldn’t condone such behavior, and neither should NASCAR....

Real Madrid takes 2-0 win over Club America Club Ameirca was just minutes away from going into the locker room level with Real Madrid, the European champion, one of the biggest teams in the world. It hadn’t necessarily been a stunning first half for the CONCACAF champion - Moises Munoz was needed on multiple occasions, and the goalkeeper’s post helped him out on a Ronaldo header in the 26th minute....

From at least the time of the ancient Greeks, sex, disfigurement and murder have sold. (“Oprah, my name is Oedipus Anderson and I’m in a support group for men who have slept with their mothers and blinded themselves.”) The 1890s are better remembered for Lizzie Borden whacking her parents than for, say, the Free Silver Movement. In a fine 1994 biography of Walter Winehell, the original gossip columnist, Neal Gabler explains that even the glory days of midcentury tabloids saw plenty of hand-wringing....

A free country needs a responsible press. Opinion is split as to whether or not we have one; but if we do, social media isn’t part of it. A free country needs a trustworthy press. We don’t even come close. The prevailing situation is unsustainable. All freedom rests upon responsibility and trust. The Bill of Rights enshrines free speech and a free press as more than basic human rights; it codified them as twin pillars of a free society....

This fight over semantics completely missed the point. It doesn’t really matter whether we are technically in a recession or not. What matters is that the American economy is in trouble and hard-working families are feeling the pain. We are in the midst of the worst inflationary spike in 40 years, and it shows no signs of easing. Prices for everyday goods and services are through the roof. The cost of gas has more than doubled since the day Joe Biden took office....

These days you don’t have to be a war hero to be a caffeine addict. Everywhere you look, people are wired on caffeine or touting its benefits—or both. Tabloids run images of celebrities sipping Red Bull or toting Starbucks venti lattes; Dunkin’ Donuts ads feature a coffee-swilling Rachael Ray, who moves so fast she leaves tread marks on the floor. There’s no shortage of ways to get your caffeine fix....

It was also the era of America’s Next Top Model (ANTM), the savage (but highly addictive) reality show that ran from 2003 to 2018. For 24 seasons (or “cycles”), aspiring fashionistas were put through a range of brutal challenges to prove they were model material, including posing with tarantulas and walking down a catwalk blindfolded. But it’s not just the traumatic trials or the wild wardrobe that people remember about ANTM, but the vicious burns dished out by judges including Tyra Banks, Janice Dickinson and Paulina Porizkova....

All three carriers recently announced policies that would require both employees and passengers to wear face masks onboard its planes. “We encourage customers to bring their own face coverings, but our customer service agents will be able to provide them if you don’t have one when you board our aircraft,” United Airlines’s coronavirus policy reads. American Airlines announced its face covering policy for passengers, which officially went into effect Monday, in an April statement....

When the officers arrived at the plane, which was parked at its gate at the airport, they discovered that two men had been throwing punches at each other. Part of the incident was filmed and shared with the local outlet. The video clip showed the two men punching each other, while members of the flight crew and several passengers attempted to intervene to stop the fight and get them to return to their seats....

THE REASON FOR this war may be somewhat more clear–in theory, we’re liberating the Iraqi people from an oppressive dictator while liberating ourselves from $2 per gallon gas prices–but sometimes McDonald’s inchoate rallying cry runs through my head. Whatever the answer, it’s safe to say that American troops are certainly not fighting for the right of American institutions to engage in censorship and repression. But those are the very terms that come to mind in the wake of last week’s decision by the New York Stock Exchange–that most American of institutions–to revoke the press credentials of two Arab-American reporters solely because the NYSE didn’t like the network that broadcasts their coverage....

Parents of children under 12, who aren’t yet eligible to get vaccinated, are worried about their kids catching COVID-19, Verywell Health’s latest vaccine sentiment survey shows. These worries aren’t unfounded. Political debates around masks and vaccines have reached schools, making crucial safety precautions like masking a heated topic. Yet, most American parents surveyed will still be sending their kids to school this fall with masks in tow—even if their schools don’t require it....

Owner Ahmed Zayat told ESPN that the Triple Crown winner will run in the Aug. 2 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J., a Grade 1 stakes race for 3-year-olds. MORE: Triple Crown winners | Pharoah’s ride worthy of history | Belmont replay “I’ve decided to do the logical step and run American Pharoah at Monmouth,” Zayat said. “I’m trying to create one of the best days racing has ever seen for its fans and one that will also fit the prestige that surrounds American Pharoah....
