Myles Garrett’s contract remains one of the biggest factors behind the Los Angeles Rams’ blockbuster trade for the star pass rusher. Garrett originally signed a four-year extension worth $160 million, averaging $40 million per year, with significant guaranteed money and a no-trade clause.

The Rams acquired Garrett from the Cleveland Browns as part of a major deal that sent Jared Verse and multiple draft picks to Cleveland.

Despite the size of Garrett’s contract, the structure makes it manageable for Los Angeles in the short term.

His projected cap hit for 2026 is about $8.14 million, followed by roughly $16.06 million in 2027 and $21.38 million in 2028.

The larger cap charges do not arrive until later years of the contract.

Because of that structure, the Rams can keep an elite defensive player while remaining aggressive with the rest of their roster.

Garrett is coming off a historic season in which he set the NFL single-season sack record with 23 sacks and won another Defensive Player of the Year award.

He has recorded double-digit sacks in eight consecutive seasons and owns 125.5 career sacks.

The Rams viewed Garrett as a rare opportunity to add a Hall of Fame-caliber defender during their current championship window.

Team leaders believe the trade strengthens a roster already built to compete for a Super Bowl.

The deal also reflects the Rams’ long-standing willingness to exchange future assets for proven star talent.

Garrett’s contract gives Los Angeles flexibility over the next several seasons while adding one of the NFL’s most dominant defensive players.

The Rams are effectively betting that Garrett can help maximize their chances of winning now.

For Cleveland, the move brought back a young standout in Jared Verse along with valuable draft capital.

The trade reshapes both franchises, but Garrett’s contract structure is a major reason Los Angeles was able to make the deal work.

Paige Bueckers joked that Dallas Wings fans should get their money back after the team's 79-56 win over the Seattle Storm, saying the game was not pretty to watch despite the comfortable final score.

The Wings improved to 6-3 on the season with the victory, continuing what has been a surprising early-season turnaround. After the game, Bueckers said the team wants to keep building and learning through both wins and losses during the long 44-game season.

She emphasized that the Wings do not want to feel entitled to anything or become complacent. Then she delivered the comment that caught fans' attention, laughing that spectators should receive refunds because of the poor shooting displayed by both teams.

Bueckers said she did not even know what the field goal percentage was, but added that sometimes teams have to "win ugly."

Her reaction highlighted how much has changed in Dallas. Last season, the Wings finished just 10-34, even though Bueckers had a stellar rookie campaign. Strong individual performances often did not translate into victories.

Now, only nine games into the 2026 season, Dallas already has six wins and is firmly in the playoff conversation. The team's expectations have shifted from simply celebrating wins to evaluating how those wins are achieved.

Monday's game was far from an offensive showcase. Seattle shot 33 percent from the field, while Dallas shot 36 percent. Neither team found much offensive rhythm for long stretches.

Despite the shooting struggles, the Wings controlled the game when it mattered most. Bueckers contributed 10 points, nine rebounds and seven assists while providing stability for Dallas throughout the night.

The Wings also prevented Seattle from mounting a serious challenge late in the game. Dallas has now won three straight games and sits one victory away from its longest winning streak since 2023.

The article notes that good teams often find ways to win even when shots are not falling. While Dallas is not yet claiming contender status, the latest result was another sign of a maturing team.

Bueckers' humorous postgame apology resonated because it reflected how much expectations have risen. The Wings are no longer focused on moral victories. They are focused on wins.

US voters headed to the polls on Tuesday as California’s closely watched governor primary entered its first round of voting, with a tight three-way race for two runoff spots.

California voters are choosing a successor to term-limited Governor Gavin Newsom, with more than 60 candidates appearing on ballots mailed to registered voters across the state.

Recent polls showed former Biden health secretary Xavier Becerra leading the race, while Democrat Tom Steyer and Trump-backed Republican Steve Hilton were competing for second place and a chance to advance to the November general election.

California is also voting on House districts for the first time since approving Proposition 50, a response to Texas redrawing congressional districts last year.

Elections are also taking place in Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, South Dakota, and New Mexico.

In Los Angeles, voters are participating in the mayoral primary, where incumbent Karen Bass is seeking a second term against city council member Nithya Raman and reality TV star Spencer Pratt.

Candidates who receive more than 50% of the vote will win outright; otherwise, the top two will advance to the November 3 general election.

Meanwhile, Democrats in the US Senate pledged to force Republicans to vote on a controversial $1.8bn “Maga slush fund” tied to Donald Trump’s lawsuit settlement with the Internal Revenue Service.

Trump is reportedly reconsidering the fund after legal setbacks and criticism from some Republicans over its lack of oversight and the possibility of payments to pardoned January 6 rioters.

Former Colorado clerk Tina Peters was released from prison after Trump successfully pressured Colorado’s governor to commute her sentence related to election conspiracy activities.

In New Jersey, protesters criticized Governor Mikie Sherrill’s decision to deploy state police to Delaney Hall, an immigration detention center that has seen ongoing clashes.

An appeals court ruled that transgender troops may remain in the military, while allowing the armed services to continue blocking new transgender enlistments.

Separately, a Guardian analysis found that dozens of members of Congress and Capitol Hill staffers accepted Israel trips funded by an Aipac affiliate after 7 October 2023.

Ethics filings showed participants received luxury accommodations, restaurant meals, and policy briefings, including meetings with Israeli officials and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The report noted the trips continued despite declining support for Israel among many Democratic voters and Americans more broadly.

The Pentagon also announced that journalists will no longer be allowed inside its press office after the space was redesignated as a classified facility.

The move is the latest in a series of restrictions on media access to the defense department under policies introduced in recent months.

Commemorating Our History Under a Historically Ignorant President argues that Donald Trump’s campaign against American history extends far beyond physical changes to landmarks in Washington, D.C.

The article opens with Trump’s proposal to remake the fountain at the World War II Memorial and says that, as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary celebrations, his administration is also reshaping how American history is preserved and presented.

The author points to a lawsuit challenging White House guidance that would allow certain executive branch email exchanges to be deleted instead of preserved for the historical record. A court later ruled against the administration, but the author argues that the effort reflects a broader attempt to erase parts of the public record.

At the annual conference of the Organization of American Historians, many historians expressed concern and anger over the administration’s approach to history.

The author says historians have spent decades making American history more inclusive by highlighting the experiences of immigrants, women, Indigenous peoples, LGBTQ+ people, people of color, workers, religious minorities, and people with disabilities.

According to the article, historians have also examined the inequalities, discrimination, oppression, violence, activism, and resistance that shaped these groups’ experiences.

The author argues that this bottom-up approach is the very kind of history the Trump administration seeks to suppress.

A March 2025 executive order is criticized for claiming that American history has been distorted by ideology and for promoting a patriotic version of history centered on America’s achievements.

The article contends that the administration judges historical “truth” by whether it fits a patriotic narrative rather than by evidence and scholarship.

Trump’s proposed National Garden of American Heroes is cited as an example of a focus on individual heroes and greatness.

The author argues that this approach minimizes broader social dynamics and inequalities while emphasizing the role of individual achievers, most of whom are white men.

The administration is also criticized for partnering with PragerU and Hillsdale College to create educational materials for the nation’s 250th anniversary.

The article says executive orders and federal education initiatives have been used to influence how history is taught in schools.

It also highlights the removal of slavery-related exhibits at Philadelphia’s President’s House and other documented removals of historical and scientific information from federal sites.

The author notes staffing reductions at the National Archives and a decline in Freedom of Information Act request processing, arguing that these changes limit access to government records.

The administration is further criticized for targeting institutions that support historical research, including the Institute for Museum and Library Services, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The article concludes that the administration’s version of “patriotic” history presents the nation as nearly perfect from the beginning while downplaying its contradictions and struggles.

The author argues that a more patriotic approach is to confront the nation’s flaws honestly and recognize the many efforts throughout history to achieve “liberty and justice for all.”

Chris Stirewalt examines how scandals surrounding Graham Platner and Ken Paxton create a political dilemma for partisan voters.

He argues that opinions about which candidate is more unfit for the U.S. Senate largely depend on partisan preferences.

Some may view Paxton more negatively because allegations against him involve abuse of public office as Texas attorney general.

Others may see Platner as worse because of allegations of antisemitism and personal misconduct.

Stirewalt notes that voters outside Maine and Texas do not have to choose between the two candidates directly.

A reasonable position, he writes, is to consider both unfit and hope both lose their respective races.

However, those focused on which party controls the Senate may still care deeply about the outcome.

The article explains that partisans often try to portray their preferred candidate as the lesser evil while criticizing the opposing party.

Stirewalt says the cases are different and should ultimately be judged by voters against their actual opponents on the ballot.

He argues that both candidates share one important similarity: supporters believe their political goals are worth overlooking personal baggage.

According to the article, Paxton and Platner represent a form of scandal politics commonly associated with populist movements.

Unlike leaders whose flaws were tolerated because of their proven abilities, these candidates had scandal-free alternatives available to voters.

The article notes that both candidates framed accusations against them as attacks by political establishments seeking to silence them.

Platner claimed party insiders wanted to destroy his life to prevent discussion of affordable housing and income inequality.

Paxton similarly described impeachment and corruption charges as efforts by the political establishment to punish him.

Stirewalt compares this strategy to other populist figures who portray allegations as proof that powerful interests fear them.

He acknowledges that such claims can contain elements of truth.

The article concludes by warning that excusing misconduct for the sake of a political cause can create conditions where worse behavior is ignored.

Stirewalt argues that when character concerns are continually dismissed, it may never seem like the right time to hold leaders accountable.

President Donald Trump’s second term began with what Steve Bannon called the “days of thunder,” but the administration is now facing a difficult period marked by stalled priorities and growing challenges.

A year and a half into his second term, Trump’s legislative agenda has slowed in Congress, while efforts to end both the Iran conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war remain unresolved.

Several court rulings have also blocked parts of the administration’s agenda, including an “Anti-Weaponization Fund” and a plan to rename the Kennedy Center.

Trump’s broader cultural ambitions have faced resistance as multiple artists withdrew from the Freedom 250 festival, a major event planned for America’s 250th anniversary celebration.

According to Trump allies, the White House has become heavily focused on ending the Iran war, creating a sense of fatigue and frustration inside the administration.

One person close to the White House said the administration is “stuck in this quicksand of Iran,” adding that even achievements are not being effectively communicated.

The administration has spent weeks trying to extend a ceasefire with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic, but no agreement has been reached despite negotiations, public threats, and renewed bombing.

Trump recently said he was comfortable with Iran’s decision to suspend talks, telling NBC News that “We talk too much.”

Meanwhile, Americans continue to face elevated gas prices, which remain significantly higher than a year ago despite recent declines.

Trump has also struggled to advance key legislative priorities, including the SAVE America Act, bipartisan housing legislation, and funding for a ballroom project that includes an underground bunker.

The administration recently backed away from its proposed $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund following Republican opposition and an unfavorable court ruling.

Supporters of Trump argue that obstacles come from Senate leadership, liberal judges, and foreign leaders rather than failures within the administration.

Bannon questioned whether the MAGA movement was ending “with a whimper not a bang,” while calling for changes in Senate leadership.

White House officials rejected criticism and pointed to recent accomplishments, including additions to the TrumpRx program, upcoming “Trump accounts” for children, regulatory rollbacks, and public safety initiatives.

Officials also said progress continues on housing, highway, and cryptocurrency legislation and highlighted Trump’s political victories in redistricting and Republican primaries.

Press secretary Anna Kelly insisted that Trump remains focused on delivering his promises while ensuring Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon.

Some allies believe the administration’s intense focus on Iran has distracted it from promoting first-year accomplishments such as lower crime, a secure border, and passage of the Big Beautiful Bill.

Concerns are also growing ahead of the July 4 America 250 celebration, where several performers have withdrawn and critics argue the event is becoming more political than patriotic.

Some Trump allies worry the administration is spending too much time trying to end a war and not enough time advancing and promoting the president’s broader agenda.

The European Central Bank’s June 11 policy meeting is drawing closer, with financial markets fully pricing in a rate hike by July at the latest, while economists surveyed by Reuters expect a move in June.

ECB board member Isabel Schnabel said that, given the size and persistence of the current shock, “looking through” inflation is no longer an option. She noted that even if the war ended immediately, damage to energy infrastructure and global supply chains would still require a monetary policy response. From her perspective, a rate hike in June will be needed.

ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane said the bank is likely to raise its inflation forecast again in June. He warned that firms increasingly expect to raise prices, and if the energy shock develops into a broader inflation problem, it would become a major concern.

Italian central bank governor Fabio Panetta said the outlook calls for a recalibration of monetary policy to counter the risk of persistent inflationary tensions. He added that even a rapid resolution of the conflict is unlikely to bring a swift normalization of oil and gas prices.

Greek central bank governor Yannis Stournaras argued that any response to a temporary overshooting of the inflation target should be balanced. He supported a cautious move toward a more restrictive policy stance that limits second-round effects without causing disproportionate harm to economic activity.

Portuguese central bank chief Álvaro Santo Pereira said inflation is the main concern and stressed the need to examine incoming data closely. He said policymakers should act sooner rather than later to prevent greater second-round effects and favored swift, decisive action if an inflationary spiral develops.

Finnish central bank chief Olli Rehn said the key issue is whether there are clear signs of second-round effects or a de-anchoring of inflation expectations. While he sees some movement in short-term inflation expectations, he noted there has been no significant deviation in medium- to long-term expectations.

Austrian central bank governor Martin Kocher said that if conditions do not improve significantly, an interest rate increase in the near future will be unavoidable.

Slovak central bank governor Peter Kazimir stated that while the ECB is not committed to a fixed path, it remains firm in its approach. He said policy tightening in June is “all but inevitable” and added that this has been part of the baseline outlook since March, with recent events failing to provide any positive surprises.

The comments from policymakers show broad concern about persistent inflation, rising price pressures beyond energy, and the risk of second-round effects, reinforcing expectations that the ECB is moving closer to tightening monetary policy.

Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance has now reached the four-month mark, and Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says the case is still actively being investigated.

Despite concerns that the investigation could become a cold case, Nanos stressed that detectives continue to work on important evidence and leads.

According to the sheriff, investigators are currently focused on DNA evidence that remains under analysis.

He said there is DNA from an unknown contributor, and authorities believe they may be getting closer to identifying the person connected to it.

Nanos expressed confidence in the laboratories handling the evidence and said the case is not considered cold while testing continues.

He explained that a true concern would arise only if the labs reported that there was nothing more they could do with the evidence.

In addition to DNA analysis, investigators are reviewing thousands of leads and surveillance recordings.

Nanos said he firmly believes his team will eventually solve the case.

The update comes shortly after reports that Nancy Guthrie’s daughter, Savannah Guthrie, has hired private investigators.

Sources said Savannah is frustrated by the pace of the official investigation being conducted by the Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI.

According to those sources, she is willing to spend whatever is necessary to keep the search active.

They also said Savannah still believes her mother can be found and that private investigators continue working every day.

Nanos acknowledged that both the public and the Guthrie family are frustrated by the lack of answers.

However, he said investigators must move carefully to avoid mistakes, false accusations, or a bad arrest.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on the night of January 31.

Investigators believe she was abducted from her Catalina Foothills home during the night.

Authorities previously noted that her heart pacemaker had been disconnected from her phone and that droplets of blood were found on her front porch.

Reports indicate Savannah has spent about $500,000 on a private investigation.

The family has also offered a $1 million reward for information that could lead to finding Nancy Guthrie.

New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli is facing one of the toughest political moments of his nearly two decades in office as Democratic primary challengers intensify their attacks ahead of the June election.

The race has drawn attention to DiNapoli’s management of New York’s massive pension fund, which is worth nearly $300 billion and serves more than a million public workers.

His challengers, including Drew Warshaw and Raj Goyle, have criticized several investment decisions tied to the pension fund, including investments connected to Israel and other controversial holdings.

The issue has become a major point of debate in a contest that many observers say is the most serious primary challenge DiNapoli has faced since taking office in 2007.

Warshaw has specifically highlighted investments in Israeli bonds as part of his criticism of the comptroller’s record.

The growing scrutiny comes as DiNapoli seeks another term while defending years of financial oversight, pension management, and government auditing work.

Several recent debates and campaign appearances have focused on questions about pension investments, accountability, and whether New York needs new leadership in the comptroller’s office.

DiNapoli has responded by pointing to the performance of the pension fund and his long record as the state’s fiscal watchdog.

His campaign has also launched a multimillion-dollar advertising effort emphasizing support from labor unions and highlighting his work on audits, public corruption investigations, and pension fund management.

The Democratic primary has become increasingly competitive as challengers argue that voters should reconsider the direction of the office after nearly twenty years under the same leadership.

Recent polling has shown that many voters remain undecided, while DiNapoli continues to face relatively low statewide name recognition despite his long tenure.

The comptroller’s office plays a major role in overseeing state finances, auditing agencies, managing pension assets, and monitoring taxpayer spending.

Because New York is considered a heavily Democratic state, many political observers view the Democratic primary as especially important in determining the office’s future.

The debate over pension fund investments, including investments connected to Israel, has emerged as one of the central issues shaping the campaign.

As primary day approaches, both DiNapoli and his challengers are increasing their efforts to persuade voters and define the future direction of New York’s financial oversight office.

Raymond Berry, Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver and former New England Patriots head coach, has died at the age of 93.
His death was announced by the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Berry was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in the Class of 1973, making him one of the longest-tenured Hall of Famers.
He spent 13 seasons as an NFL player before retiring in 1967.
He retired as the league’s all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards at that time.
After his playing career, he moved into coaching with several teams, including the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions.
Berry joined the New England Patriots coaching staff in 1978 as a wide receivers coach.
He remained in that role until 1981 when the Patriots went 2–14 and the coaching staff was fired.
He left football for a short period after that season.
In 1984, he returned to the Patriots as interim head coach after Ron Meyer was fired mid-season.
The Patriots won 4 of their final 8 games that year, and Berry stayed on as head coach.
In 1985, he led the Patriots to an 11–5 record and their first-ever Super Bowl appearance.
The 1985 team also became the first in NFL history to win three straight road playoff games to reach the Super Bowl.
In 1986, the Patriots again won 11 games but lost in the AFC Divisional Round to the Denver Broncos.
Over his final three seasons, Berry added 22 more wins with New England.
He was fired in 1989 after a power struggle with general manager Pat Sullivan over coaching decisions.
Berry finished his Patriots coaching career with a 48–39 regular season record and 51 total wins including playoffs.
His 51 total wins rank third in Patriots history behind Bill Belichick and Mike Holovak.
He was later named to the Patriots All-1980s Team and NFL 75th and 100th Anniversary Teams.
