By Jonathan Klotz | Updated 26 seconds ago The problem with most network crime shows is that no matter how dark the story gets, they can’t show too much violence, which turns climactic fight and action scenes into bloodless affairs with comical overacting. Premiering on Cinemax in 2013, Banshee never had that problem, and features at least one bloody brawl in every episode that on NCIS, would be a season-ending showstopper, but in the small rural Pennsylvania town, it’s Tuesday. However, Banshee is now the answer to a trivia question: “What show was Homelander (Antony Starr) on before The Boys?”…

p]:text-cms-story-body-color-text clearfix»> Three seats are on the June 2 primary ballot for the seven-member Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education, but the District 6 race is essentially a foregone conclusion: The only name on the ballot is two-term incumbent Kelly Gonez. The nation’s second-largest school system, with close to 400,000 students, faces evolving challenges and uncertainties that could alter the direction of the district for years. In mid-April L.A. Unified officials barely averted a strike by agreeing to significant employee raises, rescinding about 200 layoffs and agreeing to hundreds of new hires of counselors, school psychologists and other…

2026 Kentucky Derby contender Renegade during a morning training session during Kentucky Derby week at Churchill Downs. The horse is trained by Todd Pletcher. April 29, 2026 LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The post-position draw for the Kentucky Derby is one of the few times in thoroughbred racing when getting first is not something to celebrate. Last Saturday, during the draw for this Saturday’s 152nd running of the race at Churchill Downs, that distinction went to Renegade. Despite the ominous spot for Renegade, Churchill Downs’ morning-line oddsmaker Nick Tammaro still set the 3-year-old colt as his early 4-1 favorite for the 1-1/4-mile…

After months of anticipation, Supreme Court justices heard arguments about a long-standing tactic used by generic companies to carve out a distinct market for a medicine, and did not appear inclined to alter legal standards for the maneuver. At issue is skinny labeling, which refers to moves by generic companies that seek regulatory approval to market a drug for a specific use, but not other patented uses for which a brand-name medicine is prescribed. For instance, a generic drug could be marketed to treat one type of heart problem but not another. In doing so, the generic company seeks to…

SEOUL, South Korea — Kim Jong-un confirmed this week that the ancient military tradition of “death before dishonor” — committing suicide rather than being taken captive — remains an honored practice among his North Korean soldiers. The North Korean leader, speaking at the opening of a memorial and museum dedicated to the troops he sent to fight alongside Russians in the war against Ukraine, praised the soldiers who took their own lives. “They died a heroic death,” he said, according to state media monitored in Seoul. Mr. Kim was joined by Russian Defence Minister Andrey Belousov and Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin at the dedication.…

House Republican leaders negotiated their way through fierce intraparty opposition and passed on Wednesday one of the three key pieces of legislation on their agenda for the week, but their struggles are far from over. The bill that passed, a three-year reauthorization of a foreign surveillance law that expires Thursday, cannot clear the Senate. The Senate is discussing sending the House back a short-term extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to buy more time for negotiations that have already run past the initial deadline. The House will likely pass the short-term extension, but Republican leaders there…

The NCAA Tournament is a beloved American institution because of its routinely reliable penchant for dramatic moments. On Tuesday, it provided another, albeit one that was hardly shocking. Although the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments have not yet materially expanded from 68 to 76 teams, the decision at this point is considered a mere formality. Various committees will soon convene, and then in May, the press releases will be sent and all will be made official. Against the will and want of the majority of sports fans, a once-perfect event will again be adulterated. From 64 to 65 to 68 to…
