The food of Peru has long been celebrated as an elegant alloy of Indigenous, Spanish and Japanese cuisine. In this century, the reputation of Peruvian gastronomy has risen as Lima’s innovative young chefs incorporate ancient techniques and an ever-widening diversity of ingredients from the high expanse of the Andean altiplano and the rainforests of the Amazon. With that recent history in mind, I had assumed that the provenance of the lomo al trapo — beef tenderloin, encased in salt and wrapped in a wine-soaked dish towel — that chef Jaime Pesaque serves at his wood-fire restaurant Sapiens had been repurposed…

By SEUNG MIN KIM, ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON and MICHAEL R. BLOOD WASHINGTON (AP) — It was earlier this year that California Gov. Gavin Newsom was making nice with President Donald Trump as he sought help for his wildfire-battered state and moderating his approach ahead of a potential bid for the White House. But now the gloves are off after Trump took the extraordinary step of federalizing the National Guard in Los Angeles over Newsom’s objections and the governor responded by suing the administration, alleging abuse of power that marked an “unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.” The escalating clash pits the leader…

Every statistic that emerges about the Indiana Pacers seems more remarkable than the last, their string of clutch comebacks defining the 2025 playoffs while defying logic, history and physics. But the most unshakeable stat of them all is probably this: After Tyrese Haliburton’s latest jaw-dropping jumper stole Game 1 of the NBA Finals last week, he had made 13 of 15 field goal attempts with a chance to tie or take the lead in the last two minutes this season. Once in all four rounds of the playoffs, he has scored inside of 1.5 seconds remaining to save the Pacers…

By MORGAN LEE EL PASO, Texas — U.S. troops have begun directly detaining immigrants accused of trespassing on a recently designated national defense zone along the southern U.S. border, in an escalation of the military’s enforcement role, authorities said Wednesday U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Chad Campbell described in detail the first detentions by troops last week of three immigrants accused of trespassing in a national defense area near Santa Teresa, New Mexico. Those migrants were quickly turned over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and are now among more than 1,400 migrants to have been charged with illegally entering militarized…

The United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 has rejected the latest offer from the parent company of Safeway and Albertsons and provided 72 hours’ notice that its workers intend to cancel a contract extension and strike. Barring a last-minute reversal, picket lines could form as soon as Sunday morning. “We took this decision very seriously and concluded that after so many months of bargaining, Safeway/Albertsons was giving us no choice but to further escalate our contract campaign,” said Ivan Lopez, a Safeway distribution center worker in Denver, in a press release issued Wednesday night. Lopez said the union had…

If Ted Lasso were a cornerback, he’d be Riley Moss. A sword of steel and stubborn, sheathed in a smile. The kind of serial killer you bring home to Mom and Dad. “No one is going to outrun me,” the third-year Broncos cornerback told me after minicamp, which wraps up Thursday. “It’s just trusting my eyes, trusting my leverage, and being physical at the line and slowing these guys down. They always say, you can either be good, or you can be great. I want to be great. That’s what’s going to make me great.” I wondered what it was…

By SETH BORENSTEIN WASHINGTON — The Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday proposed a new ruling that heat-trapping carbon gas “emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution.” The Associated Press asked 30 different scientists, experts in climate, health and economics, about the scientific reality behind this proposal. Nineteen of them responded, all saying that the proposal was scientifically wrong and many of them called it disinformation. Here’s what eight of them said. “This is the scientific equivalent to saying that smoking doesn’t cause lung cancer,” said climate scientist Zeke Hausfather of the…

The chant has permeated Dove Valley, ringing out after every team-period breakdown into special-teams drill in minicamp, ringing out within every meeting room for Darren Rizzi’s new-look Broncos group. 1-11! It is a cry of accountability. One of 11. Everyone, presumably, with a job. It is Rizzi’s flag, planted to the turf down at Broncos Parkway, since he assumed the reins as Denver’s special-teams coordinator in February. It’s also an allusion to the exact reason head coach Sean Payton hired Rizzi, a coordinator he knew firsthand for three years in New Orleans and an assistant head coach he knew he…

The denial of a budget appropriation request related to salaries and staffing expenses is at the heart of a lawsuit filed by Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons in district court against the Summit Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday, June 10. According to a new release sent by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, the complaint stems from a resolution the commissioners adopted May 13 that the Sheriff’s Office says “retroactively denied a supplemental budget and appropriation of $1,260,000 for 2024 Sheriff’s Office staffing expenses.” The release regarding the lawsuit claims associated wages had already been earned, approved by County Manager Dave Rossi…

By PAUL WISEMAN and DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday hailed a favorable decision by a federal appeals court over his sweeping tariff policy as a “great” win for the United States. Trump said on his social media site that the court’s decision Tuesday night to let the government keep collecting his sweeping import taxes while challenges to his signature trade policy continue on appeal means the U.S. “can use TARIFFS to protect itself against other countries.” “A great and important win for the U.S.,” Trump wrote. The decision by the U.S. Court of…
