It was a passion that lasted until her death this week while on a U.S. speaking tour.

She later became a vocal advocate and was known for a message of hope and credited with inspiring generations of people, especially women and girls.

Jon Rahm won his fifth straight foursomes match and Europe had a 3-1 lead after the opening session. The notorious Bethpage Black crowd has been mostly silent because the scoreboard has been filled with European blue points. The Europeans won the first three matches with ease. None reached the 16th hole. Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele saved the Americans from another opening session shutout when they won the anchor match just as President Donald Trump was arriving.

From children to the elderly, members of the We Are America march arrived in the nation’s capital on a warm and sunny Friday afternoon, tired but joyous, where they were greeted with hugs and cheers from supporters and members of Congress.

New York’s attorney general has proposed rules for social media companies as the state moves to implement a law shielding children from addictive feeds. The SAFE for Kids Act was passed last year. It prohibits algorithm-driven feeds for users under 18 without parental consent. The law also restricts notifications between midnight and 6 a.m. The proposed rules include standards for verifying a user’s age and obtaining parental consent. Supporters say addictive feeds contribute to a youth mental health crisis. Online age check laws have garnered opposition from groups that advocate for digital privacy and free speech. The rules are now open for a 60-day public comment period.

President Donald Trump attended the New York Yankees victory over the Detroit Tigers in the Bronx, drawing mixed reactions from the crowd. The visit marks the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Earlier Thursday, Trump honored victims at the Pentagon. Security was heightened at the stadium, with metal detectors and Secret Service agents present at every entrance. Trump greeted players before the game and predicted a Yankees win, recalling past games with late owner George Steinbrenner. Trump, who was born in Queens, has attended a series of major sporting events since returning to the White House in January.
Federal prosecutors detained 57 people after a raid on a snack bar plant in upstate New York. Acting U.S. Attorney John Sarcone said Tuesday that five of those detained last week in Cato, New York, face charges for illegally re-entering the U.S. The remaining 52 face deportation proceedings. Most of those detained are reportedly from Guatemala. This raid, one of the largest in New York, coincided with another in Georgia, where 475 people were detained at a Hyundai manufacturing site. Sarcone said employers can expect to be criminally prosecuted if they employ workers without authorization. Factory owners said last week that their employees had legal documentation.

Coach Brian Daboll says Russell Wilson will start at quarterback for the New York Giants in their second game of the season Sunday at Dallas. Daboll said Wilson will remain the starter on a video call with reporters Monday less than 24 hours after he left open the possibility of turning to rookie Jaxson Dart. Wilson was 17 of 37 for 168 yards in a 21-6 season-opening loss to Washington. The Giants did not score a touchdown in Week 1 for a third consecutive year. Dart dressed as the backup but is still awaiting making his NFL debut.
A self-described science nerd is the latest American to get an experimental pig kidney transplant. Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital announced Monday that Bill Stewart of Dover, New Hampshire, is faring well after his June transplant. It's not the only milestone they're marking in the quest to prove if animal-to-human organ transplants might really work. An earlier Mass General patient has been dialysis-free for a record seven months and counting thanks to a pig kidney. Based on those successes and lessons from some other attempts, U.S. health officials have cleared the first clinical trials of pig xenotransplants.
