An elderly California man is charged with making multiple threats to assassinate President Trump on social media — saying he wanted to “blow [Trump’s] brains out," according to the Department of Justice.

*Keys 4-2 Gauff Gauff’s forehand will always be a weakness but it’s giving her almost nothing today; another error means 15-0, and she’s hitting so many more unforceds than winners that it’s almost impossible for her to win games. Keys, on the other hand, has settled. She believes in her game now, so isn’t discouraged by adversity – though, as I type, a second serve sits up and begs to be punished; Gauff doesn’t miss out, making 40-30, and we’re soon at deuce. If she can prolong the rallies, testing Keys’ patience, she’s got a good chance, and when she makes advantage, she’s offered a second serve to attack. And, though, she can’t unleash a definitive return, Gauff plays a fine point, her forehand finally giving her something, she finishes the game with an overhead, and might Keys regret the three consecutive errors 40-15 into a first break back? We shall see, but even if it’s too late for this set, we can hope that both players are now relaxing into things.

Keys 4-1 Gauff* Keys is warming up here, moving Gauff laterally to open up space for the winner; 0-15. And when a double follows, then a netted forehand, you fear for the world no 2, who just hasn’t got going yet; shonuff a second double of the game means Keys has the double break and the first set is almost hers.

• Reijnders got 15 goals in Milan’s disappointing season

• He is in line to become City’s first major summer signing

Manchester City’s promise of quick summer spending has begun with the agreement of a transfer fee with Milan for the Netherlands international midfielder Tijjani Reijnders.

The 26-year-old will cost €55m – around £46m – and has already agreed personal terms for a five-year contract. He will become the first addition of the raft of signings the club chairman, Khaldoon al-Mubarak, pledged before City take part in the Club World Cup. A special transfer window has been opened for Fifa’s new competition.

Attempts at peace in Ukraine are being drowned out in a war of words between Washington and Moscow. Donald Trump’s charm offensive with Vladimir Putin offering unilateral concessions with nothing in return — all carrots, no sticks — has been a dismal failure. The U.S. president has made empty threat after empty threat regarding imposing further sanctions as leverage to secure movement, but his tactic of mollycoddling the Russian leader, while basically ignoring Ukraine, is bordering on farce. Trump pressures Ukraine, the victim, erratically but bizarrely not Russia, the invader. Read More

Who needs boring old facts and figures? According to a host of entirely authoritative influencers, changing tastes in manicures can tell us all we need to know about the economy

Is there going to be a recession this year? Economists have been umm-ing and ahh-ing and crunching the numbers, but the answer could be at the tip of your fingers. According to various expert sources (influencers on TikTok), a wobbly economy means people are ditching elaborate and expensive manicures for more understated styles. Cue numerous headlines about “recession nails”.

When I first saw these headlines, I felt pretty smug. An inadvertent trendsetter, I have been rocking recession nails for the past decade now. Except I have been calling them “freelance lesbian nails”. Or, alternatively, “harried parent nails”. Then I read past the headlines and was no longer quite so smug. Turns out that the trend doesn’t mean frantically cutting your nails with a cheap clipper while yelling “BE THERE IN A MINUTE!” to your four-year-old who has discovered that there is leftover cake in the freezer. It means, from what I can gather, a neutral pink shade on manicured squoval (square-oval) nails that aren’t super-long but are still very polished.

Congressional Integrity Project calls Wednesday hearing led by Greene ‘political theater’ and exercise in hypocrisy

The far-right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has assembled a “rogues’ gallery of extremists, conspiracy theorists and C-team political operatives” to promote Donald Trump’s crackdown on non-government organisations (NGOs), a congressional watchdog has claimed.

The House of Representatives’ Delivering on Government Efficiency (Doge) subcommittee, chaired by Greene, is due to hold a hearing on Wednesday entitled “Public Funds, Private Agendas: NGOs Gone Wild”.

We have a duty to call out antisemitism when we see it. We also have an equal duty to remember that Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims are also being targeted

This must stop. Two incidents of political violence, both targeting groups of Jewish people, are two incidents too many. Less than two weeks ago, a gunman shot and killed two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington DC, yelling “Free Palestine” as he was being detained. This week, a man used a “makeshift flamethrower” along with other incendiary devices to attack a Boulder, Colorado, rally organized by Run for Their Lives, a group which organizes events “calling for the immediate release of the hostages held by Hamas”. Eight people were injured in this latest assault, at least two of them seriously.

These horrific acts will no doubt increase the anxiety many Jewish people have about increasing – and increasingly violent – antisemitism in the United States. Understandably so. Antisemitism must not be given any oxygen to breathe. One can oppose Israel’s 600-plus day war, relentlessly pounding the innocents in Gaza, while vigorously opposing all forms of antisemitism. In fact, one must oppose both. Such is our duty to each other in a civilized world.

A beautiful drifter tries to make it in the strip clubs of Las Vegas in this absurd film – now a cult favourite thanks to its maniacal acting and directing

Martin Scorsese’s Casino wasn’t the only Las Vegas movie of 1995, there was also Showgirls – now on rerelease for its 30th anniversary – whose pure bizarreness has over three decades achieved its own identity, like Dick Van Dyke’s cockney accent in Mary Poppins. It is the softcore erotic drama from screenwriter Joe Eszterhas and director Paul Verhoeven that has made a slow ascent from critical flop to kitsch cult favourite and now to a supposed tongue-out-of-cheek classic melodrama. Maybe it’s the last great mainstream exploitation picture, a film which owns and flaunts its crassness; a bi-curious catfight version of All About Eve or Pretty Woman.

Elizabeth Berkley plays Nomi, a mysterious, beautiful, super-sexy drifter who arrives in Vegas, hoping to make it dancing in one of the hotel shows. She is befriended by Molly (Gina Ravera), a good-natured pal whose help gets Nomi a start in a low-grade strip joint called Cheetah’s. Nomi soon upgrades to the supposedly classier Stardust where she is dazzled by the gorgeousness of leading lady Cristal Connors, played by Gina Gershon with an entirely ridiculous way of addressing everyone as “darlin’” in a Texas accent. Nomi has a sexual frisson with the club’s owner Zack, played by Kyle MacLachlan (whose presence helps give the film a mild and accidental Lynchian flavour) and also with Cristal herself, whose understudy she aspires to be. Throughout it all, Nomi shows she is a survivor with a streak of ruthlessness.
