Ocasio-Cortez and Manchin have previously criticized each other on several points and have taken contradicting stances on a number of issues of late. Manchin has pushed targeting stimulus check payments further, with the White House having agreed with Senate Democrats to a move to tighten eligibility requirements. This is a point Ocasio-Cortez and other progressives have been against. He has also questioned raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, suggesting $11 an hour instead....

In an article published by Fox News, Gingrich — who is also a regular opinion contributor to Newsweek — launched a blistering attack on the New York representative, who has become the leading voice of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, and subsequently a favored target of those on the right of American politics. The attacks became particularly pointed after Ocasio-Cortez visited migrant detention facilities along America’s southern border this week....

Ocasio-Cortez made her comments during a Wednesday night interview with MSNBC political commentator Rachel Maddow. Biden’s current plan allocates $40 billion for public housing nationwide, Ocasio-Cortez noted. But she said that amount seems less effective when one considers that the New York City public housing system needs $40 billion alone, just to get its dwellings up to code. “If we’re looking at ideals and what we think is the actual investment that can create tens of millions of good union jobs in this country, that can shore up our health care our infrastructure, our housing—and doing it in a way that draws down our carbon emissions, to help us get in line with the IPCC standards—we’re talking about realistically $10 trillion over 10 years,” Ocasio-Cortez told Maddow....

Dissident Navalny called for his supporters and Putin critics to take action against the “the deceitful and thievish Putin’s regime” in a series of tweets on Tuesday, just minutes after being sentenced to nine years in jail for alleged fraud and contempt of court. “The best support for me and other political prisoners is not sympathy and kind words, but actions,” Navalny tweeted. “Any activity against the deceitful and thievish Putin’s regime....

Navalny’s personal physician, Dr. Anastasia Vasilyeva, and three other doctors were prohibited from visiting Navalny on Tuesday after he was transferred from a penal colony east of Moscow to a hospital prison unit in the Russian city of Vladimir as his health deteriorates because of his three-week hunger strike, according to the Associated Press. “You would laugh if you see me now—a skeleton staggers around his cell,” Nalvany’s Instagram post read....

The Chilean forward had hoped to leave Emirates Stadium over the summer, having taken the decision to enter the final 12 months of his current contract. Sanchez 50/1 to be PL top scorer Arsene Wenger made it clear, however, that no sale would be sanctioned without suitable cover being brought in, and a lack of incomings meant that the deadline passed with Sanchez staying put. Manchester City did have a £60 million offer on the table, but Arsenal stood firm and Sanchez is now having to contend with forcing his way back into favour and training ground stick from his colleagues....

The pandemic essentially ended a seven-year relationship and his 9 to 5 job. Several tour dates, shows and collaborations were canceled. Ironically, the pandemic forced him to focus solely on his music — for the first time in his life. And fate was on his side. Following a stint of delivering food for Uber Eats, Banks landed on his feet and is touring the country again. Banks fills Zenger in on his return to music....

She was Morris’ first, and he’ll never let her go. “Bentley” is a 1991 Mazda 626 to which the 27-year-old is attached for life. Her name is ironic, but her story is majestic. “It’s always going to be my baby and I’m going to drive it ’til she dies,” Morris told Fox Sports. “I had it shipped from Washington, D....

If not for these three Jameses, we’d find little “remarkable” about their merchant-prince grandfather William James of Albany (1771-1832), or their father, Henry Sr. (1811-1882), whose earnest, neglected books combined Swedenborgian mysticism with Calvinist self-contempt. Their younger brothers, the bankrupt Wilky and the alcoholic Bob, had their only moments of glory in the Civil War. And Lewis relegates subsequent generations to an appendix: foot soldiers in the march of American high culture (minor artists, friends of Marianne Moore or Malcolm Cowley, the wife of Alexander Calder) but no more four-star generals....

She will have to speak out a bit, though, probably this week, if a pending deal is finalized for magazine giant Hearst Corp. to take over half of Miramax’s ownership interest in Talk and handle its production and distribution. Hearst will also share the risk. Talk isn’t cheap: the launch will cost up to $50 million. Since she and publisher-partner Ron Galotti have equity stakes, they want to show profits quickly....
