‘All of Africa Is Here’: Where Europe’s Southern Border Is Just a Fence
CEUTA, Spain — For most migrants from Africa, the last stage of their trip to Europe involves some sort of perilous sea crossing. At the border in Ceuta, there is just a fence. Ceuta (pronounced say-YOU-tah) is one of the two Spanish communities on the north coast of what otherwise would be Morocco, the only places where Europe has land borders with Africa. After Italy’s new government closed the door to migrants, efforts to cross into Spain have more than quadrupled in 2018, making it the No. 1 European destination for migrants from Africa.

The new Aaron Rodgers rule (or is it the Anthony Barr rule?) may baffle NFL fans
(Bruce Kluckhohn / Associated Press)Sometimes a quarterback, at least one not named Tom Brady, is a runner and sometimes he’s a passer. While most of the early talk during the NFL’s preseason has concerned implementation of the helmet rule, this rule — call it the Anthony Barr rule or, more precisely, the Aaron Rodgers rule — came up Saturday and the Minnesota Vikings were again involved. Williams was flagged for what looked like a perfectly legal sack of the quarterback, if you were living in 2017. A simple shove-down probably would have sufficed in that situation, but it is what it is.”All 255 pounds of Anthony Barr came crashing down on Aaron Rodgers' right shoulder. If he’s running, that’s not the same.’’Even though Rodgers was out of the pocket, Morelli said he had reestablished himself as a passer.

Rudy Giuliani on McGahn's testimony, origins of Russia probe
And this morning, President Trump comes out firing in the wake of a New York Times report yesterday, blasting it as another instance of fake news. GIULIANI: The Justice Department and the FBI never asked to see the server. You know, number one, I'm really discouraged, as a former Justice Department official who gave 17 -- 17 years of his life to the Justice Department, to see a Justice Department under Sessions that will do nothing about this. Why aren't we investigating that person...(CROSSTALK)BARTIROMO: Is the president going to revoke any other security clearances? For him to be in the Justice Department and to be doing what he did, that is a disgrace.

Chris Christie blasts Trump's former 'C-level legal team' for waiving privilege, cooperating with Mueller
Christie specifically called out former Trump attorneys Ty Cobb and John Dowd for failing to invoke executive privilege and initially cooperating with investigators, which he said had forced McGahn's hand and exposed the president to legal jeopardy. "This shows what a C-level legal team the president had, in Ty Cobb and John Dowd," Christie said on ABC's "This Week." But, Christie charged, once Cobb and Dowd waived the president's legal privilege that shielded him from investigators' document requests, they effectively prevented the president's future lawyers from legally using that privilege in the future. Absolutely not," Christie added, referring to the executive and attorney-client privileges which could have barred investigators significant access to Trump administration officials and documents. Giuliani turned to ex-CIA Director John Brennan, whose security clearance was revoked by President Trump last week.

Michael Hayden says he, too, would be honored if Trump revoked his security clearance
Washington (CNN) Former CIA and National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden said Sunday that he'd be fine with having his security clearance revoked, as President Donald Trump threatened to do to him and other former intelligence officials who have been critical of the President. Hayden made the comment on CNN's "State of the Union" when asked about a recent op-ed from retired Adm. William McRaven, who oversaw the 2011 Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden. In his piece, McRaven issued a stunning rebuke of Trump's decision to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, whom the former naval officer called "a man of unparalleled integrity." Asked by CNN's Jake Tapper if he too would be honored to lose his security clearance, Hayden said, "Well, to be included in that group? "And frankly, if his not revoking my clearance gave the impression that I somehow moved my commentary in a direction more acceptable to the White House, I would find that very disappointing and frankly unacceptable," Hayden, a frequent critic of Trump, added.

Fat cat who sits on hind legs seeks adoption in viral social media post
A quirky 7-year-old, 25-pound cat in the Chicago suburbs who sits up on his hind legs is getting a lot of attention after a shelter posted an online adoption ad, according to reports. The ad for Bruno, a polydactyl Russian blue mix, appeared on the Facebook page of Wright-Way Rescue Wednesday and has since gone viral. The shelter says Bruno is “too cool to be homeless.” He talks a lot and loves to be petted when he eats—but don’t pet his belly. “Obviously he’s very food motivated, so of course he learned quickly where his food is up on the counter.”Bruno’s craving for food explains his ability to sit on his hind legs, according to the shelter. The shelter has heard from people all over the U.S., Canada and Australia who say they want to adopt Bruno, the station reported.

‘He’s fighting where he works, like how cool?’ Bartender-boxer gets a bout on his home turf
Dante Cox defeated Varon Webb on Saturday at Maryland Live! (John McDonnell/The Washington Post)Dante Cox is accustomed to hearing his name called, even screamed, most weekend nights while tending bar at The Prime Rib restaurant inside Maryland Live Casino and Hotel in Hanover. In that 1,200-seat space Saturday night, Cox fought on the undercard as part of boxing’s debut at Maryland Live, which has been in operation since June 2012. “I’ve got to imagine it’s pretty rare for a casino to have one of their own fighting,” said Mario Maesano, senior vice president for marketing at Maryland Live. “That’s phenomenal, and I think Maryland Live really supports Dante.

Maybe it all matters, all over the country
Another 48 seats are seen as in play by at least one system but not both of the others.”One is struck by the breadth of the potential losses. Democrats, if they do take the House, are likely to win “across all regions of the country,” Nate Silver predicts for FiveThirtyEight. And then there are the governors, which may prove every bit as disastrous for Republicans as the House. Seven more are in the toss-up column and there are another two (Georgia and Wisconsin) that are only Lean Republican. Democrats have a grand total of 2 governorships that are toss-ups (Connecticut and Alaska), and none in worse shape.

Twitter has a problem with 'toxic' content. CEO Jack Dorsey says he's trying 'everything' to fix it
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says "we're ready to question everything" about the social networking site that has been overrun by spam, abuse and misinformation. But we haven't changed the underlying fundamentals," Dorsey told CNN in an in-depth interview at the company's headquarters on Friday. Among the questions Dorsey asked in the CNN interview: "How do we earn peoples' trust?" Dorsey said Twitter challenges "10 million accounts every single week to see if they're automations or humans," and takes action accordingly. As for some of the specific changes, like a rethinking of the like button, Dorsey was reluctant to talk about a timeline.
