MORE: SN’s top 25 players | 68 reasons college football tops March Madness | SN top 10 The proposed rule called for offenses to wait until at least 10 seconds ran off the play clock before snapping the ball.

Flatter emblems that echo design trends championed by the likes of Google and Apple are on tap, as well as simplistic fonts that are easy to read online, where potential buyers are spending a significant amount of time while shopping for a new car. Not all the moves have been well received. According to the 2021 Car Buyer Journal Study by Cox Automotive, car buyers spent an average of 7 hours and 14 minutes shopping online for a car in 2020....
The debate they ignited strikes one of Mexico’s deepest nerves: the country’s much-criticized handling of its indigenous population. On one side are health authorities who say that fewer children means less poverty. On the other are indigenous groups who say that such sterilizations are part of an “ethnocide” against Indians. “It’s a policy of extermination,” says Benito Narcisco Morales, an indigenous leader. But the men may have been victims of family planners who sidestepped ethics in an effort to bring Indian villages into the modern world....

Fann and Arizona Republicans have pushed forward the 2020 election audit—motivated by former President Donald Trump and his allies’ baseless claims that there was widespread voter fraud. Local GOP officials in Maricopa County have repeatedly refuted these groundless allegations. Arizona also already carried out a hand recount, which reaffirmed President Joe Biden’s victory over Trump. “I cannot begin to explain how much I really hate this whole thing,” Fann wrote in an early February email, which was released publicly along with hundreds of others by the Arizona Senate due to a public records request from American Oversight....
Rights campaigners have welcomed the order titled “Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.” But opponents say it would force schools to include transgender athletes in girls’ sports and unintentionally put cisgender athletes at a disadvantage. Biden’s order aims to protect gay and transgender people against discrimination in aspects of American life such as schools, health care and the workplace. It extends the interpretation of last year’s Supreme Court ruling that gay and transgender employees were covered by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination “because of sex....
During an appearance on MSNBC’s The Sunday Show With Jonathan Capehart, Stavridis said, “I think that is highly unrealistic as I surveyed the House membership, there is still a very strong majority on the Republican side…who would continue to support reasonable levels of aid [to Ukraine].” Stavridis added that he believes it will turn out OK, “but it requires all of us drawing a line under the courage, the determination, and what the Ukrainians are accomplishing....
Katherine Pinner, the GOP nominee for St. Louis County Executive, claimed religious discrimination in a suit filed against the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) in the U.S. District Court of Eastern Missouri on Monday. She is demanding $1.2 million from the association. Earlier this month, Pinner won a surprise victory over state representative Shamed Dogan in the primary for the highest public office in St. Louis County. A self-described “innovation consultant” and author on her website, she was unknown to party officials at the time of her 12-point victory, reported the St....
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California, said on Tuesday that the House would vote Wednesday to name the impeachment managers and send the articles of impeachment against Trump, which passed largely along party lines in December, to the Senate. Pelosi had been pressured by Republicans to transmit the documents so the trial could proceed, but she had delayed the process in an effort to urge a more “fair” and “impartial” trial in the Rebublican-controlled upper chamber of Congress....
Malliotakis, who defeated Democratic Representative Max Rose on November 3, is a member of the New York State Assembly. “The Squad” is a nickname for four progressive congresswomen—Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts—who were first elected to the House of Representatives in 2018. Although conservative critics often describe Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley as “socialists” and “communists,” these terms are inaccurate....
Hogan, a Republican, made his comments as election officials continued tallying votes across the country. Official sources had not yet made calls on a handful of key battleground states by Thursday evening, leaving both candidates shy of the 270 electoral votes needed to declare victory. While Biden was ahead in both the Electoral College and popular vote Thursday evening, Trump claimed he has won some of the states still up for grabs....
Sen. Jim Carlin—a Republican who recently announced his plan to run for the U.S. Senate—on Tuesday listed several results from November’s election that he believes show there was fraud to help defeat former President Donald Trump. There remains no credible evidence of widespread voter fraud that could have affected the outcome. Trump’s campaign team and others brought at least 86 legal challenges against the result, all of which failed....
Ernst—who grew up on an Iowa farm—is in a tough race to retain her seat, as the GOP battles to retain its Senate majority even if it loses the presidency. Ernst struggled on a question regarding the break-even price of soybeans during Thursday’s debate. The crop is a key issue in the state—soybean farmers contribute some $5 billion to the Iowa economy each year, according to the Iowa Soybean Association....
“I believe that this was agitators strategically placed inside of this group—you can call them Antifa, you can call them people paid by the Democratic machine—but to make the Trump campaign, the Trump movement, look bad, and to make this look like it was a violent outrage, when really the battle was being fought by people like myself and other great patriots who are standing up against the establishment and standing up against this tyranny that we see in our country,” Cawthorn said on the program....
While appearing on CNN, Holt was asked how nervous he was about the state reopening on a scale of 1 to 10, to which he answered, “maybe a 7.” “But I understand also that I would be nervous really at any time until there is a vaccine or proven treatment,” Holt added. “I’m not gonna be comfortable with this transition.” Holt’s comments come shortly after Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced that businesses such as hair salons, barbershops, spas and pet groomers could begin to reopen on Friday, April 24 while other non-essential businesses can begin to reopen on May 1....
“With a growing list of challenges—be it finances, communication and timeline—I cannot say with confidence that this event and our community will not be at risk,” said Williams. While Williams said he lacks the power to independently cancel the event and won’t refuse officers to help hold it, he also said that most large conventions of a similar scale are given 18 months of planning time beforehand, according to The Miami Herald....
That comes three weeks after many Republicans said abortion was now an issue for the states and the people to decide following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the landmark 1973 abortion rights ruling Roe v. Wade on June 24. The Heartbeat Protection Act was originally introduced by Representative Mike Kelly in February, 2021. Justice Samuel Alito, in his majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, wrote that the Court’s decision would allow “each State to regulate abortion as its citizens wish....
