Huh? Let the quotes gathered from CSN Washington’s Ben Standig take you through it. Standig was hoping to get a glimpse into the team’s offense that has become a sore spot for its fans, given the team's recent failures in the NCAA Tournament, but he got a lengthy, perhaps puzzling explanation from the Hoyas coach instead. First came Thompson’s “Why is my system getting criticized?” answer. "I bet you (Maryland coach Mark Turgeon's) beat writer has never said, 'can I come sit down and talk about the Maryland offense....

According to survey averages from Real Clear Politics, Biden is ahead of Trump in half a dozen states critical to the Electoral College map this November: Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. While Trump took all six in 2016, his trio of victories in the “blue wall” of the Midwest—Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin—were won by the slimmest of margins. Right now, the closest race is in Florida, which is one of the biggest prizes of the 2020 race, with 29 electoral votes up for grabs....
Biden, who served as vice president under President Barack Obama, pulled ahead as the clear front-runner for the Democratic nomination following a series of victories in Super Tuesday states last month. While Sanders, a senator from Vermont, had garnered early momentum, Biden surged following a slew of endorsements from moderate Democrats and former presidential contenders. Now, the former vice president is ahead by 29 points in the latest survey by NBC News and The Wall Street Journal....

Biden reportedly became somewhat defensive when asked about inflation, which stood at an annualized rate of 8.6 percent in May, and is now at a 40-year high after dropping slightly in April. The president pointed to the fact that other countries are also experiencing inflation (although the U.S. annualized rate is one of the highest in the world), and he also touted low unemployment figures. U.S. unemployment is currently 3....
Additionally, new polling has suggested Democrats are losing confidence in Biden as a candidate and that other Democratic candidates would pose a greater challenge to any potential Republican candidates. This comes as Biden’s approval rating has taken a significant hit amid an economic crisis. His ratings indicate that Biden is less popular than former President Donald Trump was during the Russia investigation, which looked into allegations that Trump’s team had colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election....
President Donald Trump took the Keystone State by only 44,000 votes and this time around it has been in the crosshairs of the Democrats keen to make amends for 2016 when Hillary Clinton was accused of ignoring those outside its major conurbations, thus costing her its 20 crucial electoral votes. Hoping to reprise his 2016 Rust Belt success, Trump has tried to portray Biden as being inveterately opposed to fracking—the process of extracting gas through hydraulic fracturing—which drives the state’s industry but provokes environmentalist angst....
Biden whispered responses to reporter’s questions on three separate occasions during a press conference on Thursday evening in the White House East Room, while discussing a $1.2 trillion infrastructure deal that he said he would support if it included a supplemental second package.

Meghan’s podcast Archetypes dropped around a year-and-a-half after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Spotify deal was first announced and is onto its tenth episode, which aired on Tuesday. Rogan said listeners get a sense of what a person is like “after a while” and added: “That’s why a lot of these celebrities that start these things they can’t keep up, they bail, you know like the Meghan Markles and the f******—I guess she’s doing it now—but Prince Harry was doing one for a while....

New York acquired Gallo from Texas in July of 2021 hoping he would become a source of consistent, left-handed power to balance out a lineup featuring right-handers Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, D.J. LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres. But from the moment he arrived, things went south. In his 58-game stint in 2021, his OPS dropped from .869 with the Rangers to .707 with the Yankees. Through 81 games in 2022, it’s a paltry ....
