This was evident once again on Tuesday, as Conway scrambled to defend racist tweets sent by the president that have ignited fury in Washington and around the country. The messages were aimed at four Democratic congresswomen of color, who Trump urged to “go back” to their countries of origin.

The Washington Post published an op-ed by George Conway on Tuesday, which declared categorically that “Trump is a racist president....
While answering questions about protests in Hong Kong, mass shootings and the economy, Conway bristled at recent coverage of the country’s economy, and reporting on the possibility of a recession. The inversion of the Treasury bond yield curve, a signal that has preceded every recession since 1955, generated much of the recent concern about a coming economic downturn. Longer-term bonds typically offer investors better yields than shorter ones because they carry greater risk, but when investors fear a recession, they flock to longer-term bonds, driving their yields downward....

Newcastle looked set to steal all three points when a penalty was awarded in added time, but Kenedy — who could have been sent off in the first half — couldn’t capitalize as Cardiff goalkeeper Neil Etheridge saved his second penalty in as many league matches. Promoted Cardiff had appeared the more likely to win when Newcastle midfielder Isaac Hayden was sent off midway through the second half. Much of the goalmouth action came in the opening stages with Kenedy and Ayoze Perez testing Etheridge, while Perez also displayed his worth at the other end, clearing a goalbound Sol Bamba header away from goal....

The Texans receiver came up limping after making his second catch of Sunday’s game against the Panthers and is questionable to return to the game. Houston announced that Stills suffered a hamstring injury after he came off the field to undergo further evaluation. The receiver was replaced by Keke Coutee.
