MORE: Every team’s worst draft mistake | Steph defends the Curry 2 sneaker The deal is in keeping with Nike’s M.O. of locking up top prospects in the lead up to the draft.

Williams, who represents Georgia’s fifth congressional district and began her first term in the U.S. House this past January, pinpointed fallacies inherent to Governor Brian Kemp’s defense of the law in one of several messages shared to Twitter over the weekend. “As my grandma used to say, ‘A lie don’t care who tell it,’” Williams tweeted Saturday, responding to a statement that Kemp’s office issued the previous evening. In it, Georgia’s Republican state leader claimed that SB 202, a package of broad voting restrictions formally signed into law on Thursday, “expands voting access, streamlines vote-counting procedures, and ensures election integrity....

The trial, set to begin February 21, will decide whether Cruz gets life in prison or the death penalty after he pleaded guilty to fatally shooting students and faculty at the Parkland, Florida, school.

The Dodgers' rookie sensation thought he had homered against Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright in Game 3 of the NLCS. He even broke out the "I rule" pose: The ball hit the right-field fence, and Puig had to turn on the jets to salvage a triple. Cardinals players are not pleased with the Dodgers' level of enthusiasm. “I think he doesn’t know,” Beltran said, according to MLB.com. “He still thinks he’s playing somewhere else, I don’t know....

This is true because a hot dog, unequivocally, is not a sandwich. People who think otherwise are pedants, hell-bent on needlessly complicating their lives.

What makes this charade even more interesting is the fact that 2019 wasn’t the first time the pro skater donned “the David....

This week, President Biden gave his stamp of approval to this framing, saying that he agreed with Obama. Biden did not go as far as some in his party, who have called for the filibuster to be eliminated altogether, but suggested it is in need of some kind of reform. It is not surprising to see the Democrats associate the filibuster with racism. It’s an understandable tactic, because Americans belong to one of the world’s most tolerant societies; most of us do not want to be associated with overt racial discrimination in any way, shape, or form....
