Carmelo Anthony looked like he was done just a couple of seasons ago. Now, he’s part of a truly exclusive club in the NBA. Welcome to the Top 10, Melo. Anthony scored 14 points in Portland’s 123-114 loss to Atlanta to move past Elvin Hayes for 10th place on the career scoring list with 27,318. Anthony reached the milestone early in the second quarter Monday night when hitting a 3-pointer while getting fouled and completing a 4-point play.

CVS Health hiked its 2021 forecast and beat Wall Street’s first-quarter expectations as a growing insurance business countered hits the health care giant took from a weak cold and flu season. The company covered more people through Medicaid and Medicare Advantage, and adjusted operating earnings from health insurance jumped nearly 20% in the quarter. CVS Health also delivered more than 23 million COVID-19 tests and 17 million vaccine doses through April, which helped its drugstore business. But the on-going pandemic also hurt sales of drugs and products that help customers deal with colds and the flu.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is amplifying pressure on No. 3 House Republican leader Liz Cheney. He took to the Fox News Channel to describe concerns by rank-and-file Republicans about “her ability to carry out her job” after she traded insults with former President Donald Trump. McCarthy’s comments underscore the growing hold that the former president has on the House GOP. Rather than standing by Cheney, McCarthy essentially landed himself in the camp of her critics. Their increasingly outspoken attacks on her suggest her hold on her leadership job may be in renewed peril.

Ethiopia faces a growing crisis of ethnic nationalism that some fear could tear Africa’s second most populous country apart. Six months have passed since the government launched a military operation in the Tigray region to capture its fugitive leaders. Widespread atrocities are reported and thousands have been killed. Meanwhile, in other parts of Ethiopia, other ethnic groups say they have been targeted, too. Scores of people have been killed in clashes this year between the Amhara and the Oromo, Ethiopia’s two largest ethnic groups. With the rising violence, some wonder how the government will pull off national elections in June.

Berkley announced Tuesday that it had acquired rights to three out-of-print novels by Abrams that she had written under the name Selena Montgomery.

The pandemic is making an increasing number of unauthorized immigrants fall through the cracks, some advocates and nonprofits say. They worked in hard-hit industries, such as restaurants, hospitality or construction, and lack of income has critically impacted their ability to afford food or rent. Some have been pushed out of their homes. Mexican immigrant Sotero Cirilo, for example, has lived in the streets of Queens, New York, for three months. After the two restaurants where he worked closed last year and he depleted his savings, Cirilo couldn't afford to pay rent anymore. Now, he picks up bottles and cans for recycling and sleeps in a blue tent under a train track bridge.

He is a surgeon and a father, and every morning he wakes up under a plastic tarp, he is reminded that he’s now a refugee, too. Tewodros Tefera is one of more than 60,000 people who have fled ethnic violence in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, crossing the border into a remote corner of Sudan. Horrified by what he saw when the fighting between Ethiopian and Tigray forces began six months ago, and by the tales of new arrivals, the 44-year-old chronicles the pain even as he treats it. He used to write down reflections so emotional that he later burned them. “It’s getting worse,” he says of life back home.
