Sex toy-throwing fan arrested for disrupting WNBA game between Valkyries, Dream
The fan who threw a green sex toy onto the court during a WNBA game between the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream on Tuesday has been arrested, according to a league spokesperson. That person has not been identified publicly. 'The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans,' the spokesperson said. 'In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities.' Tuesday's incident occurred during the fourth quarter of the game in Atlanta, with less than a minute left on the clock. Television cameras briefly zoomed in on the sex toy before cutting away to another shot. Some WNBA players have laughed about the incident while also acknowledging it as a potential safety hazard. 'I mean, first of all, it was super dangerous. And then when we found out what it was, I guess we just started laughing,' Valkyries forward Cecilia Zandalasini said while chuckling during a postgame news conference. 'I've never seen anything like that. I'm just glad we worked through that situation. We stayed locked in, we stayed concentrated.' Other players, including the Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham and New York Liberty's Isabelle Harrison, criticized the move as a disrespectful security failure. Fans on social media widely shared clips and pictures of the situation, and an apparent copycat threw a second green sex toy onto the court Friday during another Valkyries road game against the Chicago Sky. 'It's super disrespectful,' the Sky's Elizabeth Williams said after the game, which the Valkyries won 73-66. 'I don't really get the point of it. It's really immature. Whoever is doing it needs to grow up.' Atlanta police have not commented on the reported arrest. This article originally appeared in The Athletic.

Ex-Trump lawyer Emil Bove confirmed to federal appeals court by US Senate
The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Emil Bove, a top justice department official and former defense attorney for Donald Trump, to a lifetime seat on a federal appeals court, despite claims by whistleblowers that he advocated for ignoring court orders. The vote broke nearly along party lines, with 50 Republican senators voting for his confirmation to a seat on the third circuit court of appeals overseeing New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the US Virgin Islands. All Democrats opposed his nomination along with Republican senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski. Tennessee senator Bill Hagerty missed the vote. Bove's nomination for the lifetime position has faced strident opposition from Democrats, after Erez Reuveni, a former justice department official who was fired from his post, alleged that during his time at the justice department, Bove told lawyers that they 'would need to consider telling the courts 'fuck you' and ignore any such court order' blocking efforts to remove immigrants to El Salvador. In testimony before the committee last month, Bove denied the accusation, and Reuveni later provided text messages that supported his claim. Related: Emil Bove takes leading role in implementing Trump takeover of DoJ Last week, another former justice department lawyer provided evidence to its inspector general corroborating Reuveni's claim, according to Whistleblower Aid, a non-profit representing the person, who opted to remain anonymous. On Tuesday, the Washington Post reported that a third whistleblower alleged Bove misled Congress about his role in the dropping of corruption charges against New York City mayor Eric Adams. Seven veteran prosecutors resigned rather than follow orders to end the prosecution, which Democrats allege was done to secure Adams's cooperation with Trump's immigration policies. 'Like other individuals President Trump has installed in the highest positions of our government during his second term, Mr Bove's primary qualification appears to be his blind loyalty to this president,' Dick Durbin, the top Democrat on the Senate judiciary committee, said in a speech before the vote. The senator said he was trying to get a copy of the complaint made by the anonymous whistleblower who corroborates Reuveni's allegations, and accused the GOP of pushing Bove's nomination forward without fully investigating his conduct. 'It appears my Republican colleagues fear the answers. That is the only reason I can see for their insistence on forcing this nomination through at breakneck speed before all the facts are public,' Durbin said. In addition to the whistleblower complaint, Democrats have criticized Bove for his role, while serving as acting justice department deputy attorney general, in the firings of prosecutors who worked on cases connected to the January 6 insurrection, as well as for requesting a list of FBI agents who investigated the attack. During his June confirmation hearing, Bove denied suggesting justice department lawyers defy court orders, or that political considerations played a role in dropping the charges against Adams. 'I am not anybody's henchman,' he told the committee. Democrats walked out of the committee earlier this month when its Republican majority voted to advance his nomination, despite their pleas that the whistleblower complaints be further explored.
