Trump suggests National Guard could go into New Orleans, a blue city in a red state
SUMMARY: President Trump suggests New Orleans could be his next target for deploying the National Guard to fight crime. This follows his decision to send additional law enforcement to Chicago and Baltimore. Trump said Wednesday that Louisiana's Republican governor wanted him to send in law enforcement to help police the state's biggest city. City leaders are balking at the idea. City Councilmember Oliver Thomas noted that crime has decreased in New Orleans and calls the move "very political or a major overreaction!” Trump’s latest comments came a day after he suggested that the National Guard might soon be deployed to Chicago and Baltimore.

States and developer sue the Trump administration for halting work on New England offshore wind farm
SUMMARY: Rhode Island, Connecticut and the developer of an offshore wind farm that would power 350,000 homes in the two states are suing the Trump administration for stopping the nearly completed project. The two states will file a complaint in U.S. District Court in Rhode Island Thursday, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said, accusing the president of waging an “all-out assault” on the wind energy industry. Danish energy company Orsted filed a separate lawsuit in U.S. District Court in the Washington, D.C. The project was 80% done when it was stopped late last month over unspecified national security concerns. President Donald Trump has long criticized the wind energy industry.

DC lawsuit challenges Trump's National Guard deployment as a forced 'military occupation'
SUMMARY: The District of Columbia has sued to stop President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard during his law enforcement intervention in Washington. The city's top legal official says the surge of troops amounts to a forced 'military occupation.” Brian Schwalb is the district’s elected attorney. He says in the federal lawsuit Thursday that the surge of troops essentially amounts to an “involuntary military occupation” and is an illegal use of the military for domestic law enforcement. The White House said deploying the Guard to protect federal assets and assist law enforcement is within Trump’s authority as president.

Washington, Oregon and California governors form alliance in rebuke of Trump administration
SUMMARY: The Democratic governors of Washington, Oregon and California have created an alliance to safeguard health policies, believing the Trump administration is putting Americans’ health and safety at risk by politicizing the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Paul Colford, longtime journalist and author who became top AP spokesman, dies at 71
SUMMARY: Paul Colford, an inexhaustibly curious journalist and author who covered the media business for decades before becoming The Associated Press’ chief spokesperson, has died. He was 71.

Josh Allen eager, and a little anxious, for Bills opener against Ravens after hectic offseason
SUMMARY: Josh Allen hopes he doesn't have to rely on his old method of taking an early hit to shake any lingering nerves and adrenaline he experiences in season-opening games. The Bills quarterback hopes to stay calm by focusing on the game plan to ease into opening his eighth season with Buffalo set to host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night. He didn't play in the preseason to stay healthy, marking his first competitive game in seven months. Last season, Allen earned NFL MVP honors for leading the Bills to a 13-4 record and their fifth straight AFC East title. He’s balancing football with growing business interests and endorsements.

Lamar Jackson has quieted doubters for his entire career. Only one more question remains
SUMMARY: Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens are facing a familiar challenge. They have another chance to avenge a playoff loss, this time against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. Last year, they faced a similar situation against Kansas City but lost in the season opener. Jackson has spent much of his career overcoming criticism. At this point the only skepticism left is regarding his playoff performance. Despite winning his second MVP in 2023 and having a career-best passing season in 2024, postseason success remains elusive. Within the Ravens, there's confidence in Jackson's ability to lead them to a Super Bowl.
