The Michigan Supreme Court ruled this past Friday that Whitmer, a Democrat, had no lawful authority to extend the state of emergency and require social distancing measures beyond April 30. Henry, who founded the Restore Freedom Initiative, told WJBK (Fox 2 Detroit) that this meant the executive orders were overturned as of Friday afternoon. “That means burn your masks right now if you didn’t already. Open your gym and movie theater and open whatever business you have,” Henry said....

Amash, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump and the country’s two-party system, said he will not pursue a 2020 presidential campaign. In April, the ex-Republican April threw his name into the race alongside Libertarian Party candidates for president. But on Saturday, citing circumstances, he decided to abandon his presidential bid. Amash said Saturday that despite dropping out, he believes the Libertarian Party is “well positioned to become a major and consistent contender to win elections at all levels of government....

During a Fox News appearance on Sunday morning, Chatfield said allegations could prompt “a constitutional crisis” in Michigan if elections officials and jurists decide against a prompt certification of the state’s election results next week. Michigan’s bipartisan canvassing board, which is composed of two Republicans and two Democrats, will hold a vote on Monday to determine whether it moves to certify results immediately or delays the process. Chatfield said he does not intend to “interfere” with the board’s upcoming vote, and noted that a deadlock would then extend the decision to jurists seated on the Michigan Supreme Court....

The questions about Pete Alonso kept coming during his first MLB season, from February through September: “Will he get a real shot at making the Opening Day roster, or will the Mets manipulate his service time? No way he can keep mashing like this, right? How will he handle it when opponents adjust? Is he really an All-Star? No way he can beat Vladdy Jr. in the Home Run Derby, right?...

“Well, I’ve been playing golf for only a year and a half,” Cespedes told the New York Daily News. “Some people who have been playing golf for years learn that I’ve only played a year and a half, they can’t believe it and they say, ‘Incredible.’ I’ve been thinking about it — if there is an opportunity to play professionally later, maybe not PGA, but I would like to play golf professionally....

Alternatively, there are odds of +230 available on them taking the match into extra-time with yet another stalemate after 90 minutes....

Love him or hate him, America, he did it: Urban Meyer has built a sleek, sophisticated SEC team in the middle of the boring Big Ten.

Although the Capitals suffered a string of losses in the second half, they have the momentum on their side, having defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last match. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians are coming off a 10-wicket loss versus the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous game.

On top of that, most of their players know how to deal with the pressure on the big stage....
