Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:28:32 GMT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Just days after Gov. Mike Parson signed legislation into law aimed at transgender athletes and minors, a Missouri family is invited to a Pride Month celebration at the White House. Later this summer, Missouri will officially join a handful of other states in banning gender-affirming care for minors and prohibiting transgender girl and women from playing on female sports teams. It's because of those two laws a central Missouri family is packing up their belongings, selling their home and moving out west."We picked Colorado because it's one of a few states that has enshrined protections for LGBTQ people and kids," Katherine Sasser said Wednesday. "Playing sports is challenging to lose that, and it would be devastating to her, but when you talk about not being able to get medical care, it's a life or death situation."In the coming weeks, Sasser and her family will be moving out of Missouri because of the recent legislation the governor signed, preventing her 11-y...

A championship parade through the streets of Denver that will make Nuggets Nation cheer and clap louder than thunder began with one bold step on a sad day in Dallas nearly seven years ago.This is the story of the precise moment when a fly-over NBA city gambled everything on a 21-year-old Serbian forward with a soft shooting touch and a softer belly.As the Nuggets get ready to parade the shiny gold Larry O’Brien trophy through downtown, I’m here to tell you that maybe the most momentous date in team history is Dec. 12, 2016, when a struggling team searching for answers got blown out by 30 on the road against the Mavericks.That’s when the brain trust of Nuggets president Josh Kroenke, general manager Tim Connelly and coach Michael Malone leaned hard into the analytics and embraced a radical hypothesis many in the league would dispute to this day:Nikola Jokic is the second coming of Larry Bird.“(Connelly and I) sat down and looked at the analytics.

Texas governor sends busload of migrants to Los Angeles

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:28:32 GMT

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has claimed responsibility for a busload of migrants that arrived at Union Station in Los Angeles on Wednesday.  In a statement, Abbott said small border towns in the Lone Star State “remain overwhelmed and overrun” with people crossing into the country illegally from Mexico and that many of them are hoping to make it to L.A.  “Los Angeles is a major city that migrants seek to go to, particularly now that its city leaders approved its self-declared sanctuary city status.
