Republican Rep. Thomas Massie has made a habit of antagonizing Washington’s most powerful leaders in his party. But so far it hasn't eroded his support in his Kentucky district. In 2020, Massie drew the wrath of then-President Donald Trump when the congressman briefly delayed a COVID-19 relief package. Despite Trump's attacks on him, Massie cruised to reelection. This month, Massie joined a failed revolt against House Speaker Mike Johnson. But Massie sounds unconcerned about any fallout from his constituents for trying to oust the GOP House leader. Massie is being challenged by Eric Deters and Michael McGinnis in Kentucky’s primary election Tuesday.
Xander Schauffele has set the PGA Championship record with a 62. He also ties a major championship record that he shared last year in the U.S. Open. Schauffele took advantage of rain-softened conditions at Valhalla. And he's been playing some good golf. Schauffele was runner-up last week in the Wells Fargo Championship. Schauffele played the back nine in 31. He ran off three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the front nine to get in range of the record. The previous mark at the PGA was a 63. One of those was Jose Maria Olazabal at Valhalla 10 years ago.
To say Cage the Elephant’s latest album had a turbulent birth would be an understatement. The band dealt with the deaths of loved ones, the pandemic and their lead singer’s arrest and hospitalization. Matt Shultz was arrested for criminal possession of firearms and learned he'd been having drug-induced psychosis. Not just that, but his father died. Shultz and his brother and the rest of the band turned all that into “Neon Pill,” a 12-track kaleidoscope of rock, from the strutting glam of “Ball and Chain” to the piano ballad of “Out Loud” and the airy alt-rock of “Float Into the Sky.”

U.S. Census Bureau estimates show America's Northeast and Midwest cities are rebounding slightly from years of population drops, highlighted by modest growth in Detroit after decades of declines. Government figures released Thursday show Detroit saw its population grow for the first time in decades, rising by 1,852 people to 633,218 inhabitants last year. That’s a milestone for Detroit, which had 1.8 million residents in the 1950s only to see its population plummet afterward. Meanwhile, Census Bureau estimates show 13 of the 15 fastest-growing cities in the U.S. were in the South last year, eight of them in Texas alone.
Red Lobster promised customers an endless supply of shrimp for $20 to help pull the chain out of its pandemic doldrums. But Americans, and their appetites, had other plans.
