Democratic Party, China, Texas: Your Wednesday Evening Briefing
The late-night host Conan O’Brien is filming his shows at the Apollo Theater in Harlem this week,
and Jon Stewart popped by to give him a "New York City citizenship test." The crowd jeered after this exchange: "Where in New York City is the ball dropped every year?" "Citi Field," Mr. O’Brien shot back.
Jerry Jones, the powerful owner of the Dallas Cowboys, is threatening to sue over efforts to extend the contract of the commissioner, Roger Goodell, furious on two counts:
that Goodell suspended Ezekiel Elliott, the Cowboys’ star running back, after he was accused of domestic violence; and that Goodell has not halted players’ anthem protests.
Voters propelled a diverse slate of candidates to victory, including a Liberian refugee elected mayor in Montana, the first Sikh elected mayor in New Jersey,
and a transgender woman elected to Virginia’s State Legislature.
Our reporters in China and Washington note that business deals are likelier than policy shifts,
and our video team tracks how Mr. Trump has shifted over time from targeting China’s trade policy to praising Mr. Xi.
And don’t miss Your Morning Briefing, posted weekdays at 6 a.m. Eastern, and Your Weekend Briefing, posted at 6 a.m. Sundays.
According to several people with direct knowledge of the situation, Jones told other owners last week
that he’d hired David Boies, the high-profile lawyer (who has come under fire in the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment case).
The latest in news related to sexual harassment and assault: The director of the Armory Show,
a top international art fair, was ousted after he was accused of sexual harassment.
