The British socialite was placed on suicide watch, despite her lawyers stating she was not suicidal after she reported a threat to her safety from prison staff. The revelation led to speculation on Twitter about whether Epstein really died by suicide, as the medical examiner recorded, or whether there was foul play. Alt-right political commentator Mike Cernovich told his almost one million Twitter followers on Sunday: “Ghislaine Maxwell was put on suicide watch....

The charges allege that Bureau of Prisons correctional officers Tova Noel, 31, and Michael Thomas, 41, spent a portion of the early morning hours during which Epstein is believed to have killed himself browsing the internet for “furniture sales,” “motorcycle sales” and “sports news,” all while the five required inmate counts were not conducted. The indictment includes a charge for each of the five missed inmate counts, though Thomas was only named in three of those counts....

The newly drawn map of congressional districts was challenged Monday when the lawsuit was filed in the Ohio Supreme Court from the NDRC on behalf of a group of Ohio voters. The constitutional challenge alleges that the boundaries of the map represent partisan gerrymandering by Republicans. The plan is “even more rigged than its predecessor and an outlier among partisan gerrymanders nationwide,” the lawsuit alleges. “To achieve this remarkable result, the map-drawers subordinated traditional redistricting criteria, tore communities of interest apart, and diluted the voting power of Black Ohioans....

What do you hope to achieve with this movie? I suppose I wanted to make an antiwar film. I don’t like antiwar films that tell us the obvious: that war is bad. I wanted to tell a much more specific story about conflict–about people blundering into wars, about people having to make decisions based on expedience that will carry enormous ethical weight. I am interested in certain ironies–like the fact that he’s talking about 40, 60 years ago, and for all intents and purposes he could be talking about last week....

ESPN introduced a new score bug for the special occasion, featuring a new design for the score, down marker and more.

But following Tom Brady’s interesting press conference on Thursday, former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Mark Brunell introduced us to a new emotion: sadness. MORE: Brady’s closed door meeting | Belichick responds | Super Bowl prop bets Perhaps Brunell has a close relationship with Brady and feels let down by his actions. Former athletes turned analysts typically provided heated, sometimes outlandish analysis in the heat of the moment, so it is rather bizarre to see someone almost moved to tears by a press conference regarding deflated footballs....
