From Major League Baseball Players Association: "It is unfortunate that Major League Baseball apparently lacks faith in the integrity and finality of the arbitrator's decision and our Joint Drug Agreement, such that it could not resist the temptation to publicly pile-on against Alex Rodriguez. It is equally troubling that the MLB-appointed Panel Arbitrator will himself be appearing in the "60 Minutes" segment, and that Tony Bosch, MLB's principal witness, is appearing on the program with MLB's blessing....

“Senator Cruz, you must accept responsibility for how your craven, self-serving actions contributed to the death of four people yesterday.

The congresswoman’s tweet was in response to a statement made by Cruz on Thursday, calling the Capitol riot an act of terrorism....

“Climate change is here + we’ve got a deadline: 12 years left to cut emissions in half,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in April 2019. “A #GreenNewDeal is our plan for a world and a future worth fighting for.” Paul said Ocasio-Cortez’s 12-year timeframe was incorrect. “No @AOC the world will not end in 12 years but we must, absolutely must do something, over the next 500 million years,” Paul tweeted. “Some say we should develop a space shield to protect us from the sun’s increased luminosity....

“The climate crisis is a crisis born of injustice, and it is a crisis born of the pursuit of profit at any and all human and ecological cost,” the New York Democrat said at a press conference in front of the U.S. Capitol. She continued, “We must recognize in legislation that the trampling of indigenous rights is a cause of climate change, that the trampling of racial justice is a cause of climate change, because…we are allowing folks to deny ourselves human rights and deny people the right to health care, the right to housing and education....

The next morning three top administration officials – White House chief of staff Leon Panetta, Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen and Trade Rep. Mickey Kantor – met Dole for breakfast at the Palladin restaurant in the Watergate, where he lives. Clinton’s men accepted Dole’s idea to give Congress a role in any decision to withdraw from GATT if it believed U....

Astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir will now be sent out of the space station earlier than scheduled to replace the component, NASA officials said.

365 Days (or to use its original title, 365 Dni) may have had the year’s ickiest premise, but that didn’t stop a world full of people stuck in their homes from enjoying the film’s many silly, steamy sex scenes – and it didn’t stop it from becoming one of the streamer’s most-watched (and controversial) films. 365 Dni was such a success, in fact, that it spawned a sequel, 365 Days: This Day, which has a Netflix release set for this April....
