To be very clear: Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the children who get it.

Wonder what Notre Dame’s conversation with ACC leadership is like next time they talk.. If the ACC didn’t create this insanely large conference with ridiculous tie-breakers to allow for a 7-5 champions, Notre Dame would be in the playoff.

Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"

I would have zero problem with this bracket if Miami were ranked ahead of Notre Dame last week. But I cannot wrap my mind around changing the order of two teams that did not play. The committee’s process is broken.

Notre Dame out. Wow. That was a team that was good enough to win the national title.

Gonna start offering services as a "resume editor" for potential playoff teams. Maybe y'all just don't have enough bullet points or don't use active voice. Need more KPMs and measurables.

“Instead of a single, reformed rules-based trading system, a mosaic of partial agreements and creative ‘docking’ arrangements between blocs could develop” in the coming year, argues Mark Carney. He explains why in a guest essay for The World Ahead

Nick Suzuki, more often that not, and especially against Toronto, wins his matchups. Everything for the Canadiens flows from there. www.nytimes.com/athletic/686...

I am told that the little known prospect in the COTW got a hat trick last night. He is 🔥

The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this: The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Two years ago, Curt Cignetti arrived, grabbed a mic and said Purdue, Michigan and Ohio State suck. Two years later, he's beaten all of them and won the Big Ten.

From earlier: 30 years ago today, the Avalanche had two superstar centers but were one goalie away from winning it all. They traded for Patrick Roy. Could the Oilers make the same kind of blockbuster? No, obviously. But... what if they did? www.nytimes.com/athletic/686...

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Being a peace officer that serves and protects this great city is one of the hardest and selfless roles in our society. My heart goes out to the officers who put on the uniform and protect us. My thoughts are with their families right now.

The entire debate over birthright citizenship is anti-constitutional because the purpose, intent, and text of the 14th Amendment were designed to foreclose any argument about who counts as an American citizen.

Alexander Zharovsky is performing unbelievably well. The Canadiens top pick last year picked up another two assists today. Zharovsky has 22 points in 25 games this season. This is a stunning total for a draft plus one in the KHL.

Infantino is an amateur. Sepp Blatter would have made trump give him an award.

At some point it stops being a good start and starts becoming a good team. I am not sure if the Pittsburgh Penguins are that point just yet. They are getting close to it. www.pensburgh.com/analysis/698...

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

What a pack of fools we are. We threaten them, making it clear that we may not be a reliable ally. Then we get angry that they - quite understandably - don't want to rely on us as they rearm. Duh.
