The mask and other similar COVID-19 Halloween disguises, which aim to resemble a view of the virus under a microscope, are also currently available on eBay. The controversial masks sparked criticism from the U.K.-based Patient Association. The charity’s chief executive, Rachel Power, told The Sun: “These masks show a terrible lapse of judgment by the manufacturers and sellers, and I hope they will be removed from sale quickly.” “I’ve no doubt the great majority of people will find them hugely distasteful, and I can’t imagine that many people would wish to wear one,” she added....

The official poverty measure, which is determined by the Census Bureau, indicated that 11.4 percent of Americans were living in poverty, an increase of 1 percentage point in 2020. The increase was the first after five consecutive years of decline. However, when looking at a more complete supplemental measure of poverty, which factored in streams of income such as the stimulus payments, which were issued by the government to ease the COVID-19 economic recession, found that the number of Americans in poverty actually dcreased....

The People’s Vaccine Alliance, a coalition of organizations and activists, said in a press release Thursday that the newfound billionaires gained their wealth “thanks to the excessive profits pharmaceutical corporations with monopolies on COVID vaccines are making.” “Between them, the nine new billionaires have a combined net wealth of $19.3 billion, enough to fully vaccinate all people in low-income countries 1.3 times,” the group said. “Meanwhile, these countries have received only 0....

Witten, after all, was a 10-time Pro Bowl tight end to whom Prescott looked up as a Dallas fan growing up. “Witten was the guy I guess you could say made me the most nervous,” Prescott told host Tyler Clutts when asked which Cowboys intimidated the rookie upon their first meeting. Prescott then expanded and told the story of his first meaningful interaction with Witten, who taught the kid a lesson that day, intentionally or not....

Three times Elliott was asked, and all three times he refused to address the situation.

The 24-year-old star was back in the Cowboys’ backfield in their Week 1 win over the Giants after holding out for the entire preseason. Elliott, who signed a six-year, $90 million extension last week, was asked to evaluate his play against New York during a postgame press conference. “Obviously, I was a little rusty,” Elliott said, via the Dallas Morning News. “I didn’t play the best game. I have a lot I can improve on....

The suspension comes about seven months after Gregory was reinstated by Commissioner Roger Goodell following a lengthy process aimed at reviving his career.

He was reinstated just before the start of training camp last year and was active for the season opener....

The Cowboys on Monday activated the cornerback off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, allowing him to return to practice on a limited basis after being sidelined all offseason due to hip surgery. In his first practice since last season’s playoffs, Jones did some individual work as he continues to target a Week 1 comeback. “He’s going to slowly get back into it and see where he is,” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said, via the team’s official website....

They have reportedly chosen the latter. Dallas will not place Romo, who suffered a back injury in the Cowboys’ third preseason game, on IR with the designation to return, according to ESPN.com. Had they made that move, Romo would not be eligible to return until Nov. 6 against the Cleveland Browns. The Cowboys instead hope Romo can return from a compression fracture in his L1 vertebra by mid-October, the report said....

After his ruling on Tuesday, Griffin addressed supporters and media outside of the courtroom, where he denounced the conviction and called out several Republican lawmakers for not showing up to the trial. “I know Marjorie Taylor Greene personally,” he said. “I didn’t see Marjorie one time around this trial right here that’s affecting January 6. I didn’t see Louie Gohmert here. I didn’t see Matt Gaetz.” He went on to question if the lawmakers believe “they’re too good to come down to the federal place where all of this is taking place, or going to the jail where those guys are still locked up....

On Monday, Dallas made it official. Because the team and the player could not agree on terms for a long-term contract extension before the start of the legal tampering period for soon-to-be free agents, the Cowboys placed an exclusive franchise tag on Prescott.

Nine years after those laws were passed, the issue is again ripping through the criminal-justice system. Critics say the sentencing disparity for the two types of cocaine is unfair and ends up giving harsher treatment to minorities. Sale of as little as five grams of crack, barely a teaspoon, gets violators a minimum of five years in prison. It takes 100 times that amount of cocaine powder-the more expensive form preferred by most whites-to trigger a comparable sentence....
