By PABLO MONSIVAIS and FARNOUSH AMIRI WASHINGTON (AP) — Law enforcement officials on Sunday removed a peace vigil that had stood outside the White House for more than four decades after President Donald Trump ordered it to be taken down as part of the clearing of homeless encampments in the nation’s capital. Philipos Melaku-Bello, a volunteer who has manned the vigil for years, told The Associated Press that the Park Police removed it early Sunday morning. He said officials justified the removal by mislabeling the memorial as a shelter. “The difference between an encampment and a vigil is that an…

Stick here for live updates and analysis as Denver hosts the Titans at Empower Field at Mile High. Live updates FINAL | Broncos 20, Titans 12 Denver’s run game took a while to get started, but it’s better late than never for the Broncos. Rookie RJ Harvey broke out for a 50-yard run on a drive that was capped off by J.K. Dobbins’ 19-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. The score gave Denver a 20-12 lead, which would also be the final. The Broncos’ defense did the rest, overwhelming No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward by sacking the rookie quarterback…

It took all of three quarters for serious injury concerns to surface around two of the Broncos’ most important veteran free-agent additions. After catching a pass for a third-down conversion late in the third quarter of Denver’s 20-12 win over the Titans on Sunday, tight end Evan Engram came up limping back to the sideline. He walked gingerly to a medical tent on the sideline and quickly emerged, seeming to test that lower right leg on the sidelines. Engram was ruled questionable in the fourth quarter with a calf injury, though, and didn’t return. It was a cruel development in…

Come hell or high water, or 103 losses and counting, Warren Schaeffer believes in his process. Before falling 8-1 to the Padres on Sunday afternoon at Coors Field, the Rockies’ interim manager spoke passionately about the team he’s trying to build. The discussion centered around the Rockies’ flirtation with baseball infamy. The White Sox lost a modern-era record 121 games last season, and earlier this season, it looked like the Rockies would eclipse that mark. That’s not going to happen — the Rockies are 40-103 with 19 games left and need just two wins — but Schaeffer doesn’t care about…

Initial thoughts from the Broncos’ 20-12 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 1 at Empower Field: 1. Did Bo Nix prove Jeffery Simmons right?: We still want to Bo-lieve. We really do. We’re not quite sounding the alarm on a sophomore slump. Although full disclosure, those two words were muttered in the press box Sunday after Nix had thrown two unsightly picks through the first three quarters of the Broncos’ win over Tennessee. Truth be told? Bo almost threw a couple more. Titans defensive end Jeffery Simmons had raised eyebrows when he said last week that Nix was a…

On a rain-soaked 2016 evening in Kennesaw, Georgia, Eric Law cemented his legacy as one of the greatest scorers in the history of field lacrosse. Law netted five goals in the Major League Lacrosse championship that night, including the game-winner with 12.9 seconds left on a diving, over-the-shoulder shot with two defenders draped all over him. It earned Law MVP honors in the Denver Outlaws’ epic 19-18 comeback win over the Ohio Machine, the second of three MLL titles for the Outlaws that Law played a central role in. Fast forward to this season, and Law remains ready to do…

The Nuggets aced the offseason even with an “incomplete” grade. That’s how good their roster moves were, according to most of us in the business of making such evaluations prematurely. After trading Michael Porter Jr. for Cam Johnson, turning Dario Saric’s contract into Jonas Valanciunas, reuniting with Bruce Brown and signing Tim Hardaway Jr., Denver has been widely labeled one of the biggest winners of the NBA summer, in stark contrast with last year. And that’s despite not filling all 15 roster spots. Executive vice president of basketball operations Ben Tenzer has said he feels no pressure to fill the…

Today is Sunday, Sept. 7, the 250th day of 2025. There are 115 days left in the year. Today in history: On Sept. 7, 1986, Bishop Desmond Tutu was installed as the first Black clergyman to lead the Anglican Church in southern Africa. Also on this date: In 1921, the first Miss America Pageant was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 1940, Nazi Germany began an intense bombing campaign of Britain during World War II with an air attack on London; known as The Blitz, the eight-month campaign resulted in more than 40,000 civilian deaths. In 1943, a fire…

Leanna Jepkes was on her way home on a late summer night last year when she spotted flames on the hillside near where she lives with her husband and two children in the Jefferson County foothills. It was the start of the Quarry fire, a blaze that over the next week would grow to nearly 600 acres. It prompted the evacuation of more than 500 homes in Deer Creek Canyon. Jepkes and her family received their evacuation notice at 2 a.m. — a mere four hours after the fire started. The wildfire would turn out to be Jefferson County’s biggest…
