Now, Murray is responding back. The QB took to Twitter on Monday to say “all of this nonsense is not what I’m about, never has been, never will be.” “I play this game for the love of it, my teammates, everyone who has helped me get to this position that believed in me and to win championships,” Murray wrote. “Anyone who has ever stepped between those lines knows how hard I go....

Sinema joined Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) and all of the Republicans in opposing a change that would have imposed a so-called “talking filibuster” and allowed Democrats to end the debate with a simple majority rather than the usual 60 votes. The failure to change the rules for the voting rights legislation means the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act are effectively dead. Even before Sinema’s vote on Wednesday, there had long been talk of a primary challenge to the Arizona Democrat and political experts who spoke to Newsweek indicated that the senator is in very real danger of losing her seat....

The group continued to berate Sinema as she entered a bathroom stall. “Yesterday’s behavior was not legitimate protest,” Sinema said in a statement on Monday. “It is unacceptable for activist organizations to instruct their members to jeopardize themselves by engaging in unlawful activities such as gaining entry to closed university buildings, disrupting learning environments, and filming students in a restroom....
Normally TV news shows rely on amateur videos to show nature in its full and unpredictable fury: a flash flood submerges Main Street in Small Town, U.S.A.; a twister touches down near the airport. Last week in Los Angeles, however, a man testing his new camcorder captured an ugly but, to some, totally unsurprising incident: the prolonged beating of a black man who had been pulled over for speeding by the police....

The France international joined Arsenal from Lyon last summer for a then club record fee of £46.5million, but hasn’t produced as many goalscoring moments as Arsene Wenger would have liked over the past few months – but his past two games have showed that he is more than capable of leading the Gunners to Europa League glory, following an impressive brace and performance against CSKA Moscow.
