These are the headlines you Need 2 Know. * **Police Arrest Man in Connection with Death Threats to Boston Globe:** Police arrested Robert Darrell Chain on Thursday for threatening to kill Boston Globe employees. He allegedly made a dozen calls to the paper after it released a national campaign denouncing President Trump's political attacks against the press. During the calls, Chain borrowed Trump's rhetoric, calling reporters "the enemy of the people." After he made bail later in the day on Thursday, Chain reportedly said, “America was saved when Donald J. Trump was elected.” Here’s a [transcript of one of the calls](https://twitter.com/Tom_Winter/status/1035167781635981314?s=20). * **Kaepernick's Case Will Go to Trial:** Former quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s collusion grievance against the NFL will go to trial after the league's request to dismiss his case was denied. Kaepernick, who filed his grievance almost a year ago, alleged that the NFL conspired to keep him off rosters after he refused to stand during the ceremonial National Anthem in protest of police brutality.
