By Ed O’Keefe and Sean Sullivan, The Washington Post A top ethics official has warned that plans to confirm Donald Trump’s top Cabinet choices before background examinations are complete are unprecedented and have overwhelmed government investigators responsible for the reviews. The concerns prompted Democrats on Saturday to call for delaying the confirmation process, but Republicans signaled they are unlikely to budge on the eve of a slew of hearings in the Senate. The Trump administration-in-waiting faces its first big test in coming days, with as many as seven nominees for Cabinet positions – many of them already the subject of questions about their qualifications – scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill. The process begins Tuesday, when Sen.

  • Ask Amy: A friend wants to impose “bro code”
    Denver Post, Tuesday - 04/30/2024 - 06:30 AM

    Dear Amy: I need to resolve an issue concerning my close friend, “Brian” and my ex-girlfriend. The three of us used to socialize together when my ex and I were still a couple. Brian told me that he has not seen my former girlfriend after our breakup except once, accidentally. However, a couple of days ago Brian volunteered to me that he has recently been patronizing the restaurant where my ex used to work (my understanding was that she no longer worked there, but a reliable source told me that she does indeed still work there). It is not the type of restaurant that Brian would frequent because of his limited choices of cuisine. I suspect that the only reason he would go there is because he always liked her and that she works there. I realize that I cannot expect to impose my will on who Brian chooses to associate with, but it makes me very uncomfortable that it appears that he is being untruthful. I really don’t want to end my friendship, but now I can’t trust him. Should I confront him, or should I just end my friendship, which is something I really don’t want to do? If Brian wanted to have some type of relationship with my former girlfriend and if he was honest about that, then my feelings about this might have been different. I am confused and hurt.

  • When Nuggets struggled to find offense against Lakers, Michael Porter Jr. delivered: “I’ve done that my whole career”
    Denver Post, Tuesday - 04/30/2024 - 05:11 AM

    Michael Porter Jr. didn’t want the Nuggets to go back to Los Angeles for Game 6 of their Western Conference playoff series. He said it might’ve been spooky if they did. So on Monday night when Denver faced a third-quarter deficit against the Lakers, Porter took it upon himself to make sure his team wasn’t preparing for another plane ride. Down by four points, Porter drove to the rim for a layup.

    Denver Post, Tuesday - 04/30/2024 - 04:35 AM

    Jamal Murray was responsible for the four most important shots of the Nuggets’ first-round series. He was also responsible for a behind-the-scenes conversation more consequential than any of those shots. Peyton Watson encountered the aftermath by accident. “I think it was almost perfect timing,” he said in the locker room after Denver’s 108-106 Game 5 win to eliminate the Los Angeles Lakers.
