He’ll be coming here directly from Atlanta, where he plans to meet with Black voters before giving the commencement address at Morehouse, a historically Black men’s college. Those less favorable results would still leave Biden with the vast majority of Black voters. They may also offer some hints about how Biden could still reach ambivalent Black voters before Election Day. “It typically doesn’t go to the Black hands, the Black contractors, the Black construction workers,” Topp said. Another trusted messenger could be Vice President Kamala Harris — who, in the minds of some Black voters, isn’t getting the role or prominence she deserves.

CNN —The idea of coming face to face with a spider-like creature unexpectedly is enough to fill any arachnophobe with horror, let alone encountering one with large, spiky legs. The newly discovered long-extinct species is described as a “large spider-like arachnid” with “distinctive large spines on the legs” by the study’s authors. They were unable to place the creature within any known arachnid order due to the specimen’s lack of mouthparts, which scientists use to classify them. “You see sort of spiny legs in some arachnids, but we’ve never seen one that really has these big spines all the way along, at least the first parts of the legs. Scientists think the spiny legs were for defensive purposes.

Alito told the Times he had “no involvement” in the flag’s hanging and said it was “briefly placed” there by his wife. The explanation didn’t satisfy critics, who noted the Supreme Court is hearing several cases this year involving the aftermath of the 2020 election. The upside-down flag became a symbol for former President Donald Trump’s supporters who falsely claimed widespread fraud in the election. “Flying an upside-down American flag — a symbol of the so-called ‘Stop the Steal’ movement — clearly creates the appearance of bias,” Durbin said in a statement. And there have been signs that the combination of controversial cases and ethics scandals have frayed relationships internally.

By Zachary Cohen, Shania Shelton and Kyung LahFormer Donald Trump lawyer John Eastman — also a former professor and dean at the Chapman University law school — pleaded not guilty in Phoenix on Friday on charges related to allegedly participating in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona. A grand jury in Arizona handed up indictments last month charging Eastman and over a dozen more Trump allies for their efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat, including the fake electors from that state and several individuals connected to his campaign. While Trump is not among those charged in Arizona, the details in the indictment suggest he is “Unindicted Coconspirator 1.”“I, of course, plead not guilty,” Eastman said following the brief hearing. Eastman is the first defendant charged in the Arizona case to appear in court and the others are scheduled to follow suit in the coming weeks. Eastman’s indictment stems from being among those pushing fringe legal theories for overturning the 2020 election results and intimately involved in the fake electors scheme.

Citation From the May 17, 2024, edition of CNN's CNN News CentralSARA SIDNER (HOST): I want to ask you gentlemen about some New York Times reporting that was pretty stark. We have though learned that he has made a comment to The New York Times, Justice Alito saying, “I had no involvement whatsoever in flying of the flag." SCOTT JENNINGS (COMMENTATOR): It doesn't erode my trust. It's going to be total character assassination. And if they tried to go down the route of a character assassination here it's going to be a travesty, but I assume that's where we're headed.
