Jon Ralston, widely viewed as the dean of political journalism in Nevada, flagged the four months of data for his news site, The Nevada Independent....

In March 2019, Nunes filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against two parody Twitter accounts: one claiming to be written by his mother and another claiming to be written by a cow from his family’s dairy farm. Nunes said the “cow” conspired to damage his re-election chances. In December 2019, Nunes filed a subpoena to unmask the cow’s true identity. But Twitter lawyers asked for Nunes’ case to be dismissed, citing a federal law protecting social media companies from legal liabilities connected to content posted by users on their platforms....

The slate today kind of sucks to be honest with you, and thus we are running the Playbook but no daily fantasy baseball rankings (check here for SP rankings and more batter vs. pitcher stats). With just two early games, we are going to avoid those and focus on the evening slate in MLB tonight. This is not a cash game night for me at all to be quite honest with you....

I thought diabetes was a “disease of affluence.” Not anymore—70 percent of cases are in the developing world. When people there move to cities, their risk doubles. They’re less active and they eat fewer fruits and vegetables. The numbers are especially bad in Asia. Why? Economic development there is uncovering a genetic tendency towards diabetes. For a person of European background, the risk rises at a body-mass index of 26....

OK, I get it: campaign finance reform is the Ambien of issues. But as the totals have mounted, a few million giving way to tens of millions and then tens of millions more, the business of the American election has become, if not necessarily corrupted, at least swamped by big money. A series of scandals involving lobbyists and elected officials have proven to those in the cheap seats what they always suspected: you pay, you play....

It was a cause for celebration in Arizona, eliminated from postseason contention the night before. Rookie Ildemaro Vargas was the hero for the Diamondbacks.

And while there may be many more “surprises,” as Nasrallah likes to keep saying, Israel and Hizbullah are falling back into old, familiar, deadly and destructive patterns with no clear end in sight....

Alli eventually joined Tottenham from League One side MK Dons and has established himself as one of England’s most promising young players at White Hart Lane. Ibra’s start up there with Man Utd’s best The 20-year-old, who considers Gerrard his idol, was the subject of interest from a number of clubs but a visit to Liverpool did not quite go as planned. “At the time when I was at MK there was contact with Liverpool before I signed for Tottenham, but that was before we’d even spoke to Tottenham,” Alli told BBC Football Focus....

The real story is this: on his vacation trip Gorbachev was accompanied by nine servicemen from the General Staff. Three were communications officers and six were members of the General Staff unit responsible for ensuring that the Soviet president can control strategic nuclear forces in an emergency, during a sudden massive strike from the enemy.
