By JOE REEDY and ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON, Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) — President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington’s NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which was considered offensive to Native Americans. Trump also said Sunday that he wants Cleveland’s baseball team to revert to its former name, the Indians, saying there was a “big clamoring for this” as well. The Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians have had their current names since the 2022 seasons and both have said they have no plans to change them…

By MICHAEL CASEY, Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Harvard University will appear in federal court Monday to make the case that the Trump administration illegally cut $2.6 billion from the storied college — a pivotal moment in its battle against the federal government. If U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs decides in the university’s favor, the ruling would reverse a series of funding freezes that later became outright cuts as the Trump administration escalated its fight with the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university. Such a ruling, if it stands, would revive Harvard’s sprawling scientific and medical research operation and hundreds of…

By MICHELLE CHAPMAN, Associated Press Business Writer Ford is recalling more than 694,000 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles because the fuel injector may crack and leak, which may cause a fire. If fuel leaks inside the engine compartment and there’s a hot engine or exhaust components, it could increase the risk of a fire. The recall impacts certain 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2020-2022 Escape vehicles equipped with 1.5L engines. Ford has been looking into the fuel injector issue since 2022, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The company’s field review committee approved recalls in November 2022, March 2024…

Alaska Airlines has resumed operations following an undisclosed technical error affecting its entire system for approximately three hours, the company announced. The carrier experienced an “IT outage that resulted in a temporary, system-wide ground stop for Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air flights” around 8 p.m. Pacific time Sunday. The stop was lifted at 11 p.m., the Seattle-based company said in a social media post. “As we reposition our aircraft and crews, there will most likely be residual impacts to our flights. It will take some time to get our overall operations back to normal,” the post said. The Federal Aviation…

LAS VEGAS — The Clippers dug themselves a deep hole with a poor second quarter and never recovered, losing to the Memphis Grizzlies, 105-82, in the NBA Summer League finale for both teams on Sunday at the Thomas & Mack Center.

JURUPA VALLEY — A 21-year-old man hospitalized after a Jurupa Valley shooting later died and a second suspect was arrested, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department announced Sunday. The shooting was reported Monday around 12:20 a.m. in the area of Golden West Avenue and Condor Drive in Jurupa Valley, south of Mission Boulevard and the 60 Freeway.

LOS ANGELES – Nine years ago, Kyree Walker went viral. Thirteen million people have watched the video of him at the famed MSHTV Camp in 2016 — then the No. 1 freshman in the country — dueling fellow young internet hooper sensation Julian Newman in front of a packed gym of peers. Walker already looked grown for a 15-year-old: nearly 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, playing like a man among boys. And he knew it. He taunted defenders, played to the crowd, and barked at anyone who spoke. At one point, he brought the ball up the floor, beckoning his man to…

AGUANGA >> Firefighters reached 90% containment Sunday of a brush fire that burned 1,096 acres near Highway 371 in Aguanga. “Crews today will be prepared for the weather to change back to normal conditions. They will hit any flare ups or new starts and continue working in heavy vegetation buildup areas of the fire line. They will be girding the interior of the fire’s perimeter for smoldering vegetation,” Cal Fire Riverside stated Sunday morning. As of Sunday afternoon, the last evacuation order that remained was downgraded to an evacuation warning for the area north and south of Tribal Road, east…

DEL MAR – Journalism is coming home. The winner of the Preakness and Saturday’s Haskell Stakes will fly west from Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J., on Tuesday and spend at least the next month at the seaside before a decision is made on the 3-year-old’s next race. And that race could be the $1 million Pacific Classic at Del Mar. Or the Travers at Saratoga. “We’re glad he is coming home,” Aron Wellman said Sunday afternoon. “He’ll rest and take it easy for the next week to 10 days before we start looking ahead. The horse will tell us what…

LOS ANGELES — Maybe the Milwaukee Brewers can take over the Lakers while they’re at it. By the looks of it, they already own the Dodgers. Then again, the Brewers aren’t the only ones who have prospered against the defending champs in the last 2½ weeks. Los Angeles has lost 10 of 12 surrounding the All-Star break, including a 6-5 Milwaukee victory Sunday that enabled the Brewers to sweep two three-game series with the Dodgers in a two-week span. This isn’t happenstance, either. Dave Roberts conceded Sunday afternoon that his club, now with a slim 3½-game division lead over San…
