RAIDERS’ MOVE TO LAS VEGAS FROM OAKLAND APPROVED BY NFL OWNERS

The Oakland Raiders will soon be no more.

On Monday, NFL owners approved the franchise’s move to Las Vegas at the league’s annual spring meeting by a vote of 31-1, according to Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole. ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed the report, noting the Miami Dolphins were the lone “no” vote.

Schiff, Pelosi Call On Nunes To Recuse Himself From House Russia Investigation:

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House’s Russia investigation, called on Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes to recuse himself from the investigation — widening a stunning partisan split at the top of the chamber’s investigation.

The contemporary setting also made the proceedings less spooky, what with cellphones and other modern devices that alter the dynamics of, say, being alone in the basement with a murderer dressed like his mom.

Still, the announcement of a fifth and final season that would overlap with the movie actually created some excitement: after an ill-advised remake, this offered an alternate window into the story, including how these events unfolded from the perspective of Norman/Norma Bates

As More Americans Fail Drug Tests, Employers Turn To Refugees:
