Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve had some strong words for the referees after the team lost the WNBA championship in overtime against the New York Liberty on Sunday night. "I know all the headlines will be 'Reeve cries foul' ... bring it on, because this s--- was stolen from us," Reeve said. She criticized officials for failing to call multiple fouls to the detriment of the Liberty team. "If we're getting hit, that's a foul," Brondello said. "If they foul you, embellish it because that's a foul," Brondello said in in the broadcast.

☆ As Harris turns 60, Democrats cast Trump as old and ‘unhinged’
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-20 | by ( Eric Bradner | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

CNN —Vice President Kamala Harris turns 60 on Sunday – and, her campaign wants voters to know, that makes her 18 years younger than Donald Trump. Harris’ campaign is increasingly questioning the former president’s mental and physical fitness in the final weeks of the 2024 presidential race. “He’s becoming increasingly unstable and unhinged, and it requires that response,” Harris told reporters Saturday in Detroit. Top Harris allies have also leaned into the strategy of casting Trump as old and mentally unfit in recent days. “He’s talking about Hannibal Lecter, he’s talking about this, he’s talking about that.”Trump, at times, seems to tie migrants who seek asylum in the United States to the character of Lecter being detained at an insane asylum.
