Trump was permanently banned from Twitter in January after the Capitol riot on January 6 and was given an indefinite suspension on Facebook, as well. The punishment was decried by Republicans as political censorship and prompted some of them to cut ties with popular social media websites and move to Parler, a conservative-friendly platform. Speaking to Ezra Klein, a New York Times columnist, Sanders said he didn’t feel “particularly comfortable” with the sitting president of the United States being unable to express his views on Twitter....

Purdy, who was Mr. Irrelevant in the 2022 draft, won his first start last week over the Buccaneers and has already established himself as the best Mr. Irrelevant quarterback to ever play. It didn’t take much to do that, but it will take a lot more for him to be considered one of the best seventh-round quarterbacks in NFL history. It isn’t easy to find great quarterbacks late in the NFL Draft....

Keep in mind that hospitals can be very boring places, and they are never as comfortable as one’s own home. Gifts that help improve comfort and relieve boredom are ideal, as are gifts that lift the mood. Gifts That May Not Be Appropriate There are some items that are restricted in certain areas of the hospital or for patients due to their conditions. Fruit Fresh fruit may be restricted in certain areas of the hospital, particularly where individuals are having cancer treatment....

Our full free agent list features more than just handcuff RBs. We also have some potential depth WR pickups (Donovan Peoples-Jones, Elijah Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus, Russell Gage, Tim Patrick) and a bunch of Week 10 streamer suggestions at QB, WR, TE, and D/ST, which you can find at the end of this list. Week 10’s list of teams on bye – Giants, Texans, Bears, and Bengals – doesn’t feature a ton of heavy fantasy hitters, but there are still several idle every-week starters....

Arguably, the much anticipated clash between the Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys, the afternoon matchup, which is bookended by a couple of divisional showdowns, is the game du jour on Thanksgiving’s Thursday NFL odds menu. Will America’s team silence their critics — and fusspot Jerry Jones, for that matter — when they take on the high-flying Buffalo Bills? Before that intoxicating question is answered, though, the NFC North tilt between the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions kicks off the day’s festivities, an appetizer to whet the appetite that features rivals that are well under the cosh and faced with a lot to prove as the season winds down....

O’Rourke, who was one of several Democrats running for president before suspending his campaign last fall, spoke out against the senator’s appearance on the flight during an interview with CNN. O’Rourke drew a comparison between current American behavior toward masks and stay-at-home orders with that of people in London during World War II. “What if, during the blitz in London in 1940 and 1941, some people had claimed personal liberty as a justification for leaving their lights turned on so that Nazi bombers could find their homes and communities?...

The Spain international has been in sparkling form this season and sits top of the Premier League goalscoring chart with 14 goals and five assists in 19 appearances. Who will win the Premier League? Antonio Conte’s side sit top of the table as a result of Costa’s contribution to the collective cause, with defeat at Tottenham on Wednesday breaking a 13-match winning run. Dixon – a man who knows all about finding the target for Chelsea after netting 193 times for the club – believes Costa is currently a cut above the rest of the Premier League’s striking pack, with leading lights at Manchester City, Spurs and Manchester United unable to touch him....

Bettman isn’t quite sure what fuels the talk that the NHL is looking to widen the league beyond the current 30 franchises — he suggested perhaps slow news days in the summer. He is pleased with the health of the league, and there have been no internal discussions about adding teams.

Lewinsky raised her complaint after Beyoncé announced she would change a lyric in the song “Heated” from her new album Renaissance, which debuted on July 29. The track included the word “s**z,” which was critiqued as ableist. In the medical field, “spastic” refers to the disability of spastic cerebral palsy, which makes it difficult for people to control their muscles. A representative for Beyoncé confirmed to Variety that although the word was “not used intentionally in a harmful way,” it would be replaced....

But experts aren’t willing to stake too much on this one piece of legislation. A signature part of President Joe Biden’s agenda, the package provides for the largest single investment in U.S. infrastructure and was a badly needed win that, optimistically, could serve to reassure voters that the president and his party can deliver on campaign promises and do so with bipartisan support. But most question whether the infrastructure package has the oomph to move the needle with voters after months of messy infighting exposed party fractures....

The Biden administration received the bad news when OPEC and allied oil-producing nations backed a plan at the OPEC Plus meeting in Vienna to cut oil output by 2 million barrels per day, or approximately 2 percent of global supply. The decision came at the recommendation of the cartel’s Joint Ministerial Monitoring Group. If the decision is confirmed later Wednesday at the OPEC Plus Ministers meeting, it would be the deepest cut in oil production since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020....

U.S.-Russia relations have descended to such a low point that some commentators are not especially pleased about the Biden administration’s decision to go through with the summit. Nobody, however, has offered a better alternative to the two presidents sitting down at the same table and talking to one another directly about the long list of issues and mutual grievances that are piling up in front of them. Perpetual isolation, economic sanctions without a strategy, military brinksmanship or a combination of all three are no substitute for the type of pragmatic diplomacy U....

In a letter written to Deputy Secretary of State Brian McKeon, 21 government workers and their spouses claimed the agency has denied access to proper medical care, rejected scientific evidence about treatment needs and invalidated sufferers’ experiences. The group said they’re still waiting to meet with senior officials, and called it “discouraging” that so far leadership has refused to “hear directly from its injured personnel.” The letter, dated May 25, was reported by NBC News on Wednesday....

The review is one of a series of measures by the Biden administration to show support for Cuban citizens and Cuban Americans after the protests and a crackdown by the Cuban government against protestors. “We’ve made clear over the last week that addressing this moment was a priority for the administration and for President Biden,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said. In addition to the review, the Biden administration announced new sanctions against a Cuban official and a government brigade that the administration says was involved in human rights abuses during the protests....
