Now Cousins will have another chance at free agency, and this time, he can’t lose. MORE: NFL’s 25 highest-paid players To many, the franchise tag was considered a loss for Cousins in light of the large guarantees given to Brock Osweiler and Sam Bradford. Cousins has responded this year by showing more consistency and throwing the ball at a torrid pace. (He might throw for over 5,000 yards.) The 28-year-old has exceeded expectations, which means he’s on the path to potentially becoming the highest paid player in the NFL....

If you’re like me, you ignored your health woes large and small this past year, terrified that if you stepped foot in a medical center, packed with people sick from COVID-19, you’d wind up infected. Sometimes you did fine: the splinter worked its way out, your sniffles vanished. But other times, disastrously. Someone I know was too terrified to go to the E.R. when his vision turned blurry and by the time his wife convinced him, it was too late....

Speaking from the ball room of his Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump claimed “our country is being destroyed before your very eyes,” and branded President Biden the “face of left-wing failure and government corruption.” However, Trump’s announcement went down badly on influential r/Conservative Reddit group, which has one million members, with most of the top-rated comments criticizing the former president.

The Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, will mark Trump’s first major public appearance since he left office and several of his allies are among the scheduled speakers.

The Sunday episode of the CBS news program looked at a baseless theory pushed by Trump and supporters after the Republican lost the presidential election to Democratic challenger Joe Biden. The theory, spread by Trump’s lawyers, said vote-counting company Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the election and was backed by Venezuela, with its machine switching millions of votes from Trump to Biden in eight key battleground states. Among the lawyers pushing the conspiracy theory were Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani....

Haberman’s new book, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America, will be released next week but excerpts have been widely publicized in the media. Anecdotes from the book appear to paint the former president in a poor light, including a claim that he considered firing his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner via a tweet. They were White House advisers at the time. Trump slammed Haberman, senior political reporter at The New York Times, on his Truth Social platform on Friday....

When asked about Kaepernick’s message, President Donald Trump told reporters Friday he’d “love to see” the former quarterback in the NFL. But Trump said only if Kaepernick is “good enough.” MORE: Colin Kaepernick sends message to NFL teams with intense workout video “Only if he’s good enough,” Trump said. “If he was good enough, they’d hire him.

On Thursday, Florida District Court Judge Donald Middlebrooks—a Bill Clinton appointee—slapped Trump’s legal team with sanctions over the former president’s sweeping lawsuit against his 2016 presidential opponent Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, and numerous former officials from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI in a case Middlebrooks described as “completely frivolous, both factually and legally,” and “brought in bad faith for an improper purpose.” “Mr. Trump is a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries,” Middlebrooks wrote in a scathing 46-page ruling imposing the sanctions....

Sessions was sworn in as attorney general in February 2017 after being appointed by Trump. The relationship became rocky only months later, when Sessions recused himself from being involved in the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Trump publicly spoke out against Sessions until finally firing him in November 2018 and continuing to speak of him disparagingly after he left. The president sent a clear message that his opinion has not changed by taking to Twitter to endorse the competition as Sessions attempts to win back the Senate seat he held for decades before joining the administration....

Trump lost an estimated $600 million over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic....
