Trump threatens troops in Chicago |
It's not clear where troops might head next: President Donald Trump recently suggested he could send them to Chicago and New Orleans. Governors traditionally decide when to deploy troops short of an insurrection, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has opposed the move in Chicago while Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry welcomed the possibility. |
Why it matters: Trump's threat to send National Guard troops to Chicago comes amid D.C. protests and a continuing lawsuit against the deployment in Los Angeles. |
| • | Trump's plans for deploying the National Guard to Chicago have been mixed. He said Sept. 2 he would send troops after a violent Labor Day weekend, before cautioning that he only wanted deployments where governors welcomed them — then paraphrased a movie. | | • | Meanwhile, protests — and National Guard deployments — continue. Several thousand protesters marched in Washington over the weekend to demand an end to the guard deployment, which features 2,000 troops from six Republican-led states. Crowds also gathered in Chicago. | | Demonstrators march through downtown during a protest against President Donald Trump's immigration policies on Saturday in Chicago, Illinois.

Amy Coney Barrett says 'I'm nobody's justice' |
When Amy Coney Barrett was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court five years ago, her supporters assumed and her critics feared she would be a reliable vote for President Trump. But in an interview with USA TODAY about her new book, "Listening to the Law," Barrett declared: "I'm nobody's justice." Barrett discussed how she views her role, how being a working mother helped her better understand some cases, and why she turned up the heat on one of her liberal colleagues. Read takeaways from USA TODAY's conversation with Barrett. |
Hear boos at the US Open? |
ABC and ESPN did not mute the full-throated chorus of boos that occurred when President Trump was shown Sunday at the U.S. Open. This came despite the U.S. Tennis Association's request that broadcasters "refrain from showcasing any disruptions to the President's attendance in any capacity." USA TODAY's Sports Columnist Nancy Armor writes that rather than Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, the focus of the match became on the USTA's clumsy attempt at censorship. |
| • | Back to the tennis: The sport's top rivalry met for the third Grand Slam in a row, an Open Era first, and it was Alcaraz who took home the title at the US Open final with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. | | (From left to right) White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, United States Attorney General Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump, Arabella Kushner, and Jared Kushner stand for the National Anthem prior to the final of mens singles at Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

So why are so many moms leaving their jobs? |
'I feel like, a lot of women, we're educated, and we have the ability to work, and we want to contribute to the workforce. It's just, you know, circumstances. It doesn't make it sustainable. It doesn't allow us to navigate working and being a mom.' |
