Barigazzi: Italy could be on the brink of a recession. Is this the last chance for Italy? Berlusconi: The scenario is negative in general. In particular it is negative for Europe, and Italy has even more negative factors.

One woman who joined in on the craze—Texan Tobey King—crocheted a doll of the Vermont senator in the same outfit and pose, sat wearing mittens to fend off the cold. Now that doll has sold on eBay for more than $20,000.

The video titled “Bernie vs. Bernie” appeared on YouTube the day after it was recorded, shortly before Wednesday’s Democratic presidential debate.

Congress passed a bipartisan $900 billion COVID-19 relief bill last week combined with $1.4 trillion omnibus funding legislation to keep the government running next year. The White House had reportedly told Republican lawmakers to support the package. However, Trump released a video message on Tuesday evening describing the legislation as a “disgrace. The president took issue with funding directed to foreign countries and other federal priorities included in the omnibus portion of the bill, while also demanding that lawmakers increase the approved $600 stimulus checks to $2,000 for most Americans....

Sacramento Kings Best-case scenario: The Sacramento Kings are in bed with DeMarcus Cousins, hell or high water. The four-year, $62 million deal he signed made that a certainty.

Veterans Carl Landry and Greivis Vasquez are in town, but they’re hardly the type of players who will turn around a franchise....

Start With the Parents Middle school should come with a trigger warning for parents. We all know it can be a psychologically treacherous time for kids.
