“The expansion of Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision is one of the most popular and important provisions in the entire reconciliation bill. It’s what the American people want. It’s not coming out,” tweeted Sanders, a Vermont independent and chair of the Senate Budget Committee. His remarks came days after Biden called including the expansion of Medicare in the spending bill a “reach,” given staunch opposition from moderate Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema....

Sea Fairy Cookie is also a powerful ally to have, made even more formidable by the optional cookie toppings that can be placed on her.

You just have to make sure you have the correct configuration for her....

Watt The Skinny: Up until 2013, Arian Foster was the most vocal tweeter on the Texan’s roster, but since his retirement from social media in March, Tate has stepped up and is carring the load for the offensive players.

The one big mystery at the heart of this Cinderella story is why the lion’s share of the American reading public continues to shell out for stories that, by any of the usual standards of good pop fiction, simply don’t work. “The Rainmaker,” the tale of a novice lawyer who beats a powerful Memphis law firm in a bad-faith insurance case, is typical Grisham: after the first 200 pages, it lacks a shred of conflict....

Some people might roll their eyes. We used to get a variation on that theme at least twice a year for the better part of a decade. And, increasingly, you had to wade through a mountain of psychodrama and s***housery to find the high-end football lurking within during El Clasico’s most tempestuous period. But this is different. At what is almost certainly their final World Cup, Messi and Ronaldo — indisputably the two finest players of their era, arguably the two greatest of all-time — meeting in the Word Cup final would be irresistible....

He accused the president of using divisive, anti-immigrant rhetoric that emboldens extremists to commit violence, citing the man who gunned down nearly two dozen people and injured another two dozen at a Walmart in El Paso on August 3. The manifesto which the alleged gunman posted online just before committing the massacre contained similar language about immigrants to that which Trump has used in recent months and years, leading law enforcement officials to classify the shooting as domestic terrorism....

Matthews, who fully practiced on Thursday, is looking at playing, assuming he isn't bothered by the fact he needs to play with a club on his right hand. Given his disruptive nature as a pass rusher and run stopper, his relentless energy can make up for the fact he may have full use of only five digits.

Evra tells Carrick: I’m coming home! The 47-year-old has become well known for running late at his Friday media briefings but he put on a buffet at Stamford Bridge on Friday evening. The buffet took place in a corporate box that is next door to the one used by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

So far, so familiar. But Malukh is more than an independent-minded software entrepreneur. He’s an independent-minded software entrepreneur who lives in Siberia. Specifically, in Akademgorodok, a once secret “academic town” started by Nikita Khruschev in 1957 as a defense-industry research center. Since 1994 more than 40 software companies have sprung up in this town, which is 2,000 miles from Moscow, 20 miles south of Novosibirsk and sufficiently prominent in cyberspace to have earned the nickname of the “Silicon Taiga....

After an hour flight from Bahrain, we had just landed on the carrier in “The Cod”–an ancient propeller plane used to ferry visitors and mail. The 3Gs I felt when the wire on the deck “trapped” us at 130mph had worn off and we’d unharnessed, uncrossed our arms and sat up. Now the back of the plane opened wide and someone gestured to me and my seatmate, an AP reporter based in Indonesia with a craggy, distinguished look, to exit first....

And the gaffes should keep the press predators interested, at least for a while. It turns out that despite living in New York for more than 30 years, the new mayor still has a bit to learn about the city. When I talked with him on Christmas Day about the swearing-in, he thought the ball would be dropped on New Year’s Eve in Herald Square, the second time he made that mistake in as many days....
