At the time of the quake, there was some debate about postponing the weekend’s matches. After all, Mexico is a country that loves its soccer. What could lift the spirits more than the game? But the decision wisely was made to give things more time. Mexico City won’t host matches this round, with Cruz Azul’s game with Pachuca moved to the Estadio Hidalgo, nor this weekend. Moving Jornada 10 felt like the right call....

During warmups, about 10 minutes before puck drop, a friendly shot appeared to breach the padding in Bishop’s stomach/groin region, bringing the hulking goalie to the ice in a heap. Bishop took an early trip to the dressing room, prompting some questions over whether he would be OK to start the game. But he led the team onto the ice during introductions and didn’t miss a minute, even making a couple big saves as he was tested early on by Rick Nash and the Rangers....

Leconte has always been a chameleon. The Frenchman started as a frothy comedy director and came into his own as an international filmmaker with his 10th feature, the dark, hypnotic Simenon drama “Monsieur Hire” in 1988. From film to film–“The Hairdresser’s Husband,” “Ridicule,” “The Girl on the Bridge,” “The Widow of St. Pierre,” and now the wonderfully intimate “Man on the Train”–he never does the same thing twice. Like an old Hollywood pro, he changes styles to fit his subjects....
King had suffered disqualification in the 200 meter breaststroke but somewhat made amends by defending her 50m world title on the final day of competition on Sunday. The American held off a strong challenge from Benedetta Pilato — the 14-year-old Italian prodigy taking silver — to become only the second woman to win the event at successive world championships. “I was planning to be racing every day this week so it kinda changed up training plans and things like that,” King said of her 200m DQ....

The Lincoln Project’s ad, entitled “Happy moving day, Donald,” uses sounds effects of moving vans, cleaning and fumigation crews to imitate people scrubbing the president’s “grift”, “indecency”, “corruption”, “lies” and COVID-19 from the White House. These preparations, the ad says, are to make way for “a new president, a real president, the next president of the United States, Joe Biden.” “Hey, Donald. Don’t let the door smack you in the ass on the way out....
The Lincoln Project, which was co-founded by Conway, the husband of Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway, released an ad on Wednesday that called Fauci an “American hero” and applauded him for being a truth-teller about the new coronavirus. In contrast, the ad labeled Trump “Donald the dope,” said he “lied” about the new coronavirus outbreak and urged voters to oust him from office in the upcoming election. The PAC, which aims to block Trump’s re-election, contrasted the president’s comment that the coronavirus would disappear “like a miracle” with Fauci saying there would be more cases and things would get worse....
During interviews, Graham has repeatedly taken the opportunity to ask viewers to donate to his re-election campaign against Democratic opponent Jaime Harrison. In October, Harrison’s campaign announced it had raised $57 million in the third quarter of 2020, the most raised by any U.S. Senate candidate. During the same timeframe, Graham’s campaign raised $28 million. Graham has been a senator since 2002.

PFAW is a progressive advocacy non-profit group “founded to fight right-wing extremism and build a democratic society,” according to its website. The one-minute video features a female narrator discussing the implications of Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, which allowed prosecutors to file criminal charges against those who crossed the border without authorization, The New York Times reported....
Canadian immigration officials forced a vehicle from the conservative Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) to turn away from the border on Tuesday because a correspondent and crew members inside the vehicle were not vaccinated. Soon after, Lindell told Newsweek that he expects his MyPillow delivery truck to face no problems crossing into Canada on Wednesday morning despite the crew also being “definitely” unvaccinated. “They’ll be getting across tomorrow morning, I don’t see any problem that they’re gonna have,” Lindell said on Tuesday evening....
On Friday, Renacci’s campaign issued a press release saying that Lindell had “entered the Ohio Political Scene this week” by “endorsing Jim Renacci” in his quest to unseat current Republican Governor Mike DeWine, whom the campaign described as a “RINO,” or “Republican in name only.” However, the endorsement was thrown into doubt within hours, with Lindell issuing a denial during a Facebook Live video session. Lindell told Newsweek that there’s “no way” he would be backing Renacci after finding that the endorsement press release was still on the Ohio Republican’s campaign website on Monday evening....
Boylan, a former aide to Cuomo, was the first woman to publicly accuse him of sexual harassment, in December last year.

Graham, a staunch ally of the former president, had criticized Trump for helping fuel the riot and called it a stain on an otherwise successful presidency. Despite favoring another Trump term, the South Carolina Republican reportedly told the former president he was facing an uphill battle if he wished to return to Washington, D.C. Graham told Trump he had been “written off as dead” because of what occurred on January 6, according to Peril, a new book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa....
The chair of the Senate judiciary committee told Fox News he took a dim view of Bolton’s indiscretion in publishing The Room Where It Happened, which is unsparing in its criticism of Trump and his administration. Graham said that Bolton “has done something most people can’t do—unite the Republican and Democratic party.” The South Carolina Republican was referring to Democratic anger that Bolton did not testify about Trump’s conduct during the impeachment inquiry, accusing him of saving it for his book, and GOP discontent at his explosive allegations against the administration....
Graham, who is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a staunch supporter of the president, told CNN International in Qatar Saturday he has no intention of hearing any part of the impeachment trial in the Senate. The GOP senator said “I have made up my mind” already, despite the fact the House of Representatives has not yet voted on the floor to send the two articles of impeachment against Trump to the upper chamber – abuse of power and obstruction of Congress – which will occur next week....
Speaking at a campaign event in Conway, South Carolina, the Republican incumbent praised Barrett, who was recently confirmed to the Supreme Court, and offered some advice to young women. “You know what I like about Judge Barrett? She’s got everything,” the senator said. “She’s not just wicked smart, she’s incredibly good. She embraces her faith.” “I want every young woman to know there’s a place for you in America if you are pro-life, if you embrace your religion, and you follow traditional family structure....
