Kashkari’s comments follow remarks made Wednesday by U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell who said more financial support from the government would be required to ensure the economy is not permanently damaged. “If this is a slow recovery, the way I think it is—I think we’re in this for months, a year, 18 months—there are going to be a lot of families that are going to need direct financial assistance,” Kashkari said at a virtual event Thursday....

The new rules were part of a legislative package known as Senate Bill 90, which was signed into law in 2021, Reuters reported. However, Judge Walker determined that the legislation specifically targeted minority voters....

The traditional closing event of the PGA season will feature the top-30 ranked golfers on the FedEx Cup ranking, but the tournament has implemented significant format changes this year.

Under the new format, the FedEx Cup leader will start the event at 10-under par, while the second seed will start at 8-under, the third seed at 7-under and so on down to the fifth seed at 5-under....

Speaking with reporters in a press call announcing a new agreement struck between the DHS and Oregon State Gov. Kate Brown to collaborate on the response to unrest, Wolf said at least 94 people had so far been arrested by federal officers in the city. Since late May, days after Floyd died after a white police officer, Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes during an arrest, Wolf noted, there have been protests in Portland, with some being peaceful demonstrations and others being marked by what Wolf branded “violent activity....

Neymar, Coutinho & Mbappe all to leave - 7/4 The Ligue 1 side lost both skipper Maxime Gonalons and vice-captain Alexandre Lacazette to Roma and Arsenal respectively during the close season. Fekir impressed alongside both those men as Bruno Genesio’s side finished fourth in Ligue 1 and reached the semi-finals of the Europa League last season, weighing in with 14 goals across all competitions. Lyon open their 2017-18 campaign against newly promoted Strasbourg on Saturday and Genesio feels the 24-year-old France international will grow into the role....

The Reds have long been in pursuit of the France international and were in talks over a £60 million (€68m/$80m) transfer deal with Lyon. Despite the Ligue 1 side’s assertion that a deal was not in the works, Fekir seemed Anfield-bound when French FA president Noel Le Graet said he had completed a medical at the national team’s facilities during their preparation for the World Cup. Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas insisted this week that Fekir’s future would be decided after the World Cup, but the French club have since stated he will be playing in Ligue 1 next season, as a breakdown spiked a deal....

The Belgium international has had a habit of collecting cards throughout his career, with an ungainly style often getting him into trouble with referees. He is not afraid to throw his weight around when required, with his physical attributes having been embraced by Everton and United in Premier League and European competition. The versatile 30-year-old is, however, eager to point out that he is no thug and that he only ever sets out to give his all for the good of the collective cause....

Chelsea move for Antonio Kjaer has developed into a key figure at Fenerbahce since joining the club from Lille in June 2015 and his performances have reportedly caught the attention of the Premier League leaders. Nevertheless, the Istanbul side have made it clear they have not received any offers and have no intention of selling the centre-back. “A number of recent reports have falsely claimed that Chelsea have made an offer for our Danish player Simon Kjaer,” a report on the club’s official website reads....

Data released by CBP Friday revealed that border agents have seized 2,098 pounds of fentanyl, compared with 639 pounds uncovered along the southwest border during the same period last year. The number of seizure “events” is nearly identical to one year ago, but public health officials continue to warn that drug overdose deaths likely exceeded more than 90,000 in 2020 and are on track to worsen in 2021. GOP lawmakers in Washington have pounced on the fentanyl seizure increase as the fault of President Joe Biden’s inability to control the “border surge” of migrants....

The Red Devils stagnated somewhat in the wake of their iconic former manager slipping into retirement on the back of a 13th Premier League title win in 2012-13. David Moyes proved to be a forgettable appointment, while Louis van Gaal faced criticism of his playing style despite landing the FA Cup. ‘Man Utd move possible for Ronaldo’ Jose Mourinho was drafted in to turn the tide and delivered three trophies in his debut campaign, with United tasting success in the Community Shield, EFL Cup and Europa League....

D’Amato was considered unbeatable. Now under investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee for his role in federal housing deals, he’s vulnerable. But before Ferraro can get at him, she must overcome her own past with the ethics police and win the nomination from a strong field of fellow Democrats, including state Attorney General Robert Abrams (the favorite), Rep. Bob Mrazek, and perhaps New York City Commissioner of Consumer Affairs Mark Green....

The 28-year-old suffered a knee injury when he slipped on a wet spot on the floor during an exhibition game against Nigeria last week. Olynyk was evaluated by the Heat and will not be able to play with Team Canada in the coming weeks, according to a report from ESPN. He is expected to be ready for the start of the season. Olynyk joins several players who have withdrawn from the event including Canada teammate and Knicks rookie RJ Barrett....

It is tempting to say Middleton saved his team “from embarrassment,” because that is the default position whenever USA Basketball loses a game. This nation is not supposed to lose at basketball, ever, let alone in a pool-play game at the FIBA World Cup. It hasn’t lost one of those since 1998, when the American team did not include a single NBA player. Middleton’s two free throws with 2.1 seconds on the clock secured a 93-92 overtime victory over Turkey in the second game of World Cup Group E competition....

While they may not necessarily be littered with household names, Head Coach Henrik Rödl’s team possesses enough top-level talent to justify a certain level of quiet confidence heading into the tournament. When playing with a sense of proper cohesion, they have shown the ability to shine during a semi-convincing 9-3 qualification process and if they are to make notable progress this summer, they will hope to rely on the impressive depth of their roster....
