Rays Are Eager to Return to Tropicana Field for the First Game Since Hurricane Damaged the Roof
A sellout crowd will welcome the Tampa Bay Rays back to renovated Tropicana Field on Monday for the first time in 18 1/2 months. The quirky stadium with the tilted roof and unique catwalks underwent major repairs after Hurricane Milton swept through downtown St. Petersburg on Oct. 9, 2024, and caused extensive damage. High wind ripped sections of the original roof, allowing rain to fall into the stadium bowl for months. Water caused mold and damage to electrical, sound and broadcast systems. There was thought initially the Rays would never play another game at the only ballpark they had called home since the franchise’s debut in 1998. Instead, nearly $60 million was spent to replace the roof and rebuild the Trop. While the Rays played their 2025 home games across the bay in Tampa at Steinbrenner Field — the spring training home of the New York Yankees — their stadium got a makeover. The new roof was installed last August, and the final panel was put in place Nov. 21. Luxury suites and the stadium …

Alex Brandon/AP hide caption toggle caption Alex Brandon/AP Three major reports out this month say President Trump has done serious damage to American democracy at remarkable speed since his return to the White House.

The U.S. landed between Slovakia and Greece. Meanwhile, Bright Line Watch, which surveys more than 500 U.S. scholars, concluded that the U.S. system now falls nearly midway between liberal democracy and dictatorship. The newest survey comes out next week. Bright Line Watch’s co-directors spoke to NPR exclusively ahead of publication.

Mail’s Katie Nicholl says ‘nonsense’ hacking claims damaged her career
Katie Nicholl reporting for Entertainment Tonight in the US Mail writer Katie Nicholl has described the phone-hacking claims levelled against her by Prince Harry and others as “nonsense” and damaging for her career. Sadie Frost, Liz Hurley, Elton John, David Furnish and Prince Harry are all currently suing Mail publisher Associated Newspapers for breach of privacy and have highlighted a number of articles published in the 2000s and early 2010s which they believe were obtained illegally by Nicholl. The illegal newsgathering claims are largely based on now recanted evidence from private investigator Gavin Burrows. The Mail says it has no records relating to Burrows and Nicholl said she had never heard of Burrows let alone worked with him. Burrows was paid tens of thousands by Prince Harry’s legal research team but has since said he never worked for the Mail and that previous statements attributed to him are false. Nicholl was diary editor of the Mail on Sunday from 2004 to 2012 and also worked as royal editor of the paper. She continues to write …
