President Biden says he'd "strongly support" moving the Major League Baseball All-Star game out of Atlanta as a rebuke to strict new voting restrictions in the state. The president said on ESPN Wednesday night that the curbs are "just not right."
"This is Jim Crow on steroids, what they are doing in Georgia and 40 other states," he said. "What it's all about — imagine passing a law saying you cant provide water or food for someone standing in a line to vote. Can't do that. Come on? Or you close a polling place at 5 o'clock when working people just get off? "This is all about keeping working folks and ordinary folks that I grew up with from being able to vote. Come on."Authorities made two gruesome discoveries Tuesday after a Missouri woman walked into a police station and told officers that she fatally shot one of her children and drowned the other, officials said. Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak said at a news conference that authorities believe both children were killed Tuesday morning.
Strong storms with damaging winds and baseball-sized hail pummeled Texas on Tuesday, leaving more than one million businesses and homes without power as much of the U.S. recovered from severe weather, including tornadoes, that killed at least 24 people in seven states during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
