A proposed bill in the Colorado state legislature, known as the “Kelly Loving Act,” could significantly impact parental custody decisions based on a parent's support or lack thereof for a child’s gender identity. If enacted, judges would be allowed to consider actions such as "deadnaming" or "misgendering" a child—referring to them by their birth name or incorrect pronouns—as forms of "coercive control." This could potentially be classified as emotional abuse and used as grounds to limit or deny custody during legal disputes, raising concerns among critics about parental rights and freedom of expression in matters involving a child’s gender transition. Lions Receive Disappointing Update for Upcoming Season

The Detroit Lions, entering the 2025 NFL season as one of the league's most promising contenders, have been dealt a tough break with a newly released strength of schedule ranking. According to the NFL and Caesars Sports, the Lions are tied for the second most difficult schedule in the league, trailing only the New York Giants.

Despite the tough road ahead, the Lions, led by quarterback Jared Goff and star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, remain focused on building upon their recent success.

The Data Language Barrier is becoming an increasingly complex challenge for modern enterprises, as teams across business, analytics, and engineering struggle to collaborate effectively due to differing "languages" of data communication. While executives, analysts, power users, and data engineers all work toward common goals, their distinct ways of expressing requirements—ranging from natural language to code—often lead to misunderstandings, costly delays, and missed opportunities. Despite the promise of AI, effective communication in the data pipeline goes beyond simple translation and requires shared context, collaboration, and consistent practices. By building cross-functional teams, improving data literacy, and establishing unified semantic layers, organizations can begin to bridge the gap, reduce friction, and unlock the full value of their data.

Giants Encouraged to Pursue Surprise Quarterback Trade Following Derek Carr Decision

The New York Giants may be poised for an unexpected shakeup at quarterback following Derek Carr's retirement. Carr, who injured his shoulder against the Giants in Week 14 of last season and faced a lengthy recovery, chose to retire rather than remain on injured reserve. In response, some analysts have proposed that the Giants trade veteran Jameis Winston back to the New Orleans Saints, where he spent four seasons, to fill the void left by Carr. Though Winston was only signed by the Giants in March to bolster a shaky QB room led by Russell Wilson and first-round rookie Jaxson Dart, his presence now appears somewhat redundant—or valuable, depending on the direction the Giants take. While some argue a trade to New Orleans makes sense, others believe Winston’s veteran experience is essential as the team carefully grooms Dart into a future starter. President Trump has lashed out at Democratic lawmakers who criticized his anticipated receipt of a luxury Boeing 747-8 jet from the government of Qatar, labeling them "world class losers" in a Sunday night post on Truth Social. The aircraft is reportedly intended to serve as a replacement for Air Force One, prompting scrutiny from Democrats. Trump dismissed the backlash, defending the arrangement and ridiculing his opponents.

Watch: Match of the Day 2 highlights bring you the best action from Sunday's five Premier League games, featuring a thrilling clash between Liverpool and Arsenal. In a high-stakes balancing act ahead of his visit to the Gulf, former President Donald Trump is seeking to prevent Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from disrupting his regional agenda as frustrations mount between the two leaders. Trump, who aims to showcase progress on nuclear talks with Iran and a ceasefire with Yemen’s Houthis during his trip, has sidelined Israeli objections in pursuit of broader regional diplomacy. His recent moves—including halting attacks on the Houthis and exploring a humanitarian aid plan for Gaza without fully involving Israel—have triggered pushback from Netanyahu’s far-right allies. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has distanced itself from linking normalization with Israel to a U.S.-backed civilian nuclear deal, signaling that Trump may proceed without Israeli buy-in. With tensions high and competing interests at play, Trump is making it clear: Netanyahu won’t be allowed to spoil his Gulf visit. A tragic crash on Mother's Day in Los Angeles has left one person dead and 32 others injured after a tour bus collided with a disabled SUV on Highway 60 West. According to the California Highway Patrol, the incident occurred shortly after 5 a.m. when a Nissan Pathfinder became disabled in traffic and was subsequently struck by the tour bus, triggering a fiery collision that trapped the SUV's lone occupant. The bus, en route from Morongo Casino to Koreatown, sustained heavy front-end damage. Witnesses described scenes of chaos and panic in the aftermath. The crash has led to partial closures of the westbound 60 Freeway, with authorities continuing their investigation. A Pennsylvania man allegedly killed his mother and transported her body to his sister’s home, concealing it with McDonald’s wrappers, boxes, and household items, police say. Kevin Ahn, 31, is charged with first-degree murder, assault, and abuse of a corpse in connection with the death of his 61-year-old mother, Hyun Ahn, whose body was found in the back of a vehicle in March. Authorities say Ahn’s sister, who found him acting suspiciously and reported the discovery, was estranged from him. The mother’s death was ruled a homicide caused by strangulation and traumatic brain injury. Ahn’s attorney claimed he was mourning her in his own way, likening it to “dressing up a skeleton.” More than 3,200 Cursor users have been affected by malicious credential-stealing npm packages, according to cybersecurity researchers. Three rogue npm packages, disguised as developer tools offering "the cheapest Cursor API," specifically targeted the macOS version of the AI-powered code-editing tool Cursor. Once installed, the packages steal user credentials, download encrypted payloads from attacker-controlled servers, overwrite Cursor's main.js file, disable auto-updates, and restart the application to execute malicious code. Despite being flagged, all three packages remain available for download from the npm registry. Experts warn this campaign reflects a growing supply chain threat, as malicious code embedded within trusted platforms gains elevated privileges and permanence on developer systems. MAGA activist Laura Loomer has publicly criticized President Trump over reports that his administration plans to accept a $400 million luxury jet from the government of Qatar.

The Cleveland Browns have provided a major update on Deshaun Watson's condition, revealing that the quarterback is progressing in his recovery but remains unlikely to return to the field anytime soon. After tearing his Achilles in October and reinjuring it in January, Watson underwent surgery and is now out of his walking boot, actively participating in meetings and rehab. Despite his efforts, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Watson is expected to miss most of the upcoming season, with no firm return date set. Watson, who remains the highest-paid player in Cleveland's quarterback room, is reportedly no longer central to the team's future plans. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam admitted the franchise “took a big swing-and-miss” with the 2022 trade and $230 million guaranteed contract, acknowledging the costly gamble has not paid off. Watson, under contract through 2026, has played just 19 games over three seasons due to suspension and injuries but continues to stay engaged with the team and document his rehabilitation progress on social media. Yankees Expected to Make $75 Million Decision on Gerrit Cole as they face mounting challenges in their starting rotation. With ace Gerrit Cole sidelined until 2026 following surgery, Luis Gil out until midseason, and Marcus Stroman's status uncertain, New York is exploring options to bolster its pitching staff. One possibility includes a reunion with former Yankee Sonny Gray, now with the St. Louis Cardinals and in the second year of a $75 million contract. While Gray’s earlier stint in New York was underwhelming, his recent success and durability could offer a much-needed bridge in Cole’s absence. The decision could hinge on whether the Yankees believe Gray is worth the financial commitment and trade assets required.

Rams Encouraged to Support Matthew Stafford by Signing Six-Time Pro Bowler

Amid a focused offseason push to maximize veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford’s final years, the Los Angeles Rams have been encouraged to further bolster their offense by signing six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen. After already acquiring star receiver Davante Adams to offset Cooper Kupp’s departure, adding Allen—a reliable, route-savvy veteran—could provide the Rams with a critical possession threat and solidify one of the league’s most dynamic receiving corps. With 70 receptions for 744 yards and seven touchdowns last season, Allen offers dependable production and a veteran presence, making him a strong fit in Sean McVay's offensive system alongside Adams and breakout star Puka Nacua. As the Rams look to make a deep playoff run, Allen’s experience and football IQ could be the perfect complement in a high-stakes 2025 campaign.

The EU Commission has launched legal action against five member states—Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Poland, Portugal, and Spain—for failing to comply with the bloc’s controversial online censorship regulation, the Digital Services Act (DSA). The lawsuit, part of the Commission's "May infringements package," accuses these nations of either not designating national digital services coordinators or failing to grant them sufficient authority to enforce the DSA. The regulation, along with the Digital Markets Act, is criticized for centralizing power in Brussels and encroaching on national sovereignty and digital freedoms. Bulgaria has been warned it may also face similar legal measures if it does not swiftly implement compliance steps. New Jersey Democratic Representative Rob Menendez has sharply criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) following a recent visit to an ICE detention facility in Newark. Speaking on Sunday, Menendez pointed to a series of escalating incidents that he believes could have been avoided, stating that responsibility lay squarely with ICE and HSI, who "chose not to" deescalate the situation. Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso expressed skepticism that the White House's proposed suspension of habeas corpus will ever reach Congress. Speaking on NBC’s “Meet The Press” Sunday, Barrasso responded to remarks from White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who had indicated that President Trump and his team were exploring the controversial move. Despite the suggestion, Barrasso said he doesn't anticipate the proposal being formally introduced in the legislative branch.

Rediscovering and dismantling a long-forgotten video game console has unearthed an intriguing piece of tech history. The device, known as Video Volley, appears to be an early home video game system capable of playing tennis, hockey, and handball—though it was never widely produced or distributed. Its design resembles a homebrew project or prototype, with a case and wiring that look handcrafted. Interestingly, while most similar systems relied on General Instrument chips, this one houses a rare National Semiconductor pong chip. The controllers are rudimentary, consisting of sliding potentiometers and a switch, adding to the mystery of how many units were made and sold. South Korea shifts focus to unmanned naval power, stepping back from its F-35 program and scrapping plans for a light aircraft carrier.

Browns QB Dillon Gabriel Shares Confident Message About Shedeur Sanders

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel welcomed the team's selection of fellow rookie QB Shedeur Sanders, saying confidently, "I love it." Gabriel, a standout from Oregon, and Sanders, who dropped to the fifth round despite first-round projections, have already begun competing during rookie minicamp. While Sanders appeared sharper on the opening day, both quarterbacks are vying to prove themselves amid a crowded QB room that includes veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. Neither rookie is guaranteed a roster spot, but their preseason battle could determine the Browns' future under center. Minority voter support for Trump declines as recent polling shows slipping approval among key demographic groups that had backed him in the 2024 election. Although Donald Trump made notable gains with Latino voters, younger men, non-White individuals without a college degree, and Black men, new surveys reveal waning enthusiasm just 100 days into his second term. His overall job approval has dropped below his 2024 vote share, with particularly low ratings on economic issues like inflation, signaling that earlier predictions of a lasting political realignment may have been premature. President Trump is quietly reducing government operations by withholding approval for key funding across federal agencies. This unofficial freeze has effectively paralyzed numerous divisions, leaving them unable to function despite remaining officially in place, according to the Washington Post. China is actively promoting its J-10 fighter jet as a formidable alternative to the U.S.-made F-16, positioning it as a cornerstone of its expanding defense exports.

The Chicago Bears are being considered a top destination for free agent running back J.K. Dobbins as a potential replacement for injured star Nick Chubb. Despite making offseason moves to bolster their offense, the Bears' backfield remains uncertain, with D’Andre Swift underperforming in his first season with the team and key backups offering limited upside. Head coach Ben Johnson, known for building strong running games, is expected to seek additional depth. Analysts, including NFL.com's Jeffri Chadiha, see Dobbins—coming off a career-high 905 rushing yards in 2024—as a viable and younger alternative to the recovering Chubb, positioning Chicago as a frontrunner in securing the breakout back. An Iranian terror suspect involved in an alleged foiled plot to attack the Israeli embassy in London was living in state-funded housing as an asylum seeker. The 40-year-old man was among five Iranian nationals arrested during coordinated counter-terrorism raids across the UK on May 3. Authorities revealed the suspect had been residing for over six months in a Rochdale property managed by Serco on behalf of the Home Office. He is believed to have entered the UK illegally via small boat before claiming asylum. Security experts warn that the Channel migrant route could be exploited by state-backed terrorists. Four of the five suspects remain in custody as investigations continue, while one has been released on bail. The Israeli embassy, located in Kensington and heavily fortified, was reportedly the intended target. Security Minister Dan Jarvis labeled the operation as one of the most significant counter-terrorism efforts in recent times.

Tuimoloau, the final unsigned member of the Colts' 2025 draft class, is expected to thrive under new defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, who coached Hubbard for six seasons in Cincinnati. At 6'4" and 265 pounds, Tuimoloau brings a similar physical profile and impressive college production, with 23.5 sacks and 45 tackles for loss over four years at Ohio State. As the Colts look to boost a pass rush that ranked 31st in pressure rate last season, Tuimoloau is viewed as a key addition, particularly on passing downs.
