    Politics as usual will not stop Trump’s unconstitutional acts
    During his first term in office, President Donald Trump bridled under various Watergate-era mechanisms passed to provide oversight to the executive branch. The second time around, Trump has successfully dismantled them. This includes firing nearly every “independent” Inspector General with the acquiescence, if not outright support, of a Republican Party that is in lockstep with virtually everything he proposes or does.
    Of course, Trump is hardly the first American chief executive to

    Angels beat Orioles behind strong start from Jack Kochanowicz
    ANAHEIM — The Angels accomplished something that’s been rare this season.
    They played the kind of baseball game that they’re supposed to play: getting a lead early and continuing to add on, with effective pitching throughout.
    It added up to a 5-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.
    The Angels (16-22) now have a chance on Sunday to win back-to-back series for the first time since early April.
    They didn’t need any of the dramatic late-inning heroics from v

    Dodgers shut out by Corbin Burnes and Diamondbacks
    PHOENIX — When the Arizona Diamondbacks signed Corbin Burnes to a franchise-record six-year, $210 million contract last winter, just a little more than they gave Zack Greinke in 2015, this is what they hoped they were buying.
    Burnes didn’t quite pitch up to his Cy Young pedigree in April and received a cortisone injection for shoulder inflammation, skipping a start and taking a 10-day break before facing the Dodgers on Saturday.
    The shot worked. Burnes handcuffed the Dodgers for seve

    PHOENIX — After eight largely underwhelming starts, it’s obvious that Roki Sasaki is – as the Dodgers asserted when they signed him last winter – not a finished product.
    But whatever development the 23-year-old right-hander needs will have to be made at the major-league level. The Dodgers have no intention of sending him to the minors to work on the improvements they acknowledge he needs to make.

    “It’s been great,” Trout said on Saturday. “I was worried in the beginning, but the sharpness I was feeling after that day in Seattle is gone.”

    The Ducks will not retain assistant coaches Brent Thompson and Rich Clune for next season, the club confirmed on Saturday.
    That decision was expected given that the Ducks had sacked Greg Cronin as head coach last month. They then hired the simultaneously decorated and disgraced Joel Quenneville on Thursday. Quenneville guided the Blackhawks to three Stanley Cups but later saw those feats tainted by a sexual abuse scandal involving former Chicago video coach Brad Aldrich.

    As reading scores fall, states turn to phonics — but not without a fight
    By Robbie Sequeira, Stateline.org
    As states rush to address falling literacy scores, a new kind of education debate in state legislatures is taking hold: not whether reading instruction needs fixing, but how to fix it.
    More than a dozen states have enacted laws banning public school educators from teaching youngsters to read using an approach that’s been popular for decades. The method, known as “three-cueing,” encourages kids to figure out unfamiliar words using context clues
