Ossoff criticizes Trump on health care, Iran, 'corruption' in Augusta

Lowering health care premiums and returning consumers to financial affordability mean electing leaders instead of rulers, the state's senior U.S. senator said during a campaign swing through Augusta on Saturday.
With public criticism mounting against the Trump administration's handling of the economy, rising health care premiums and a war with Iran, Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff mounted an offensive to urge voters to fight for the ways of life he said they deserve.

Formula 1 Is Gunning for a Return to India After a 13-Year Hiatus

After a 13-year dry spell, the Indian government is actively fighting for F1’s return to the Buddh International Circuit.
Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has confirmed the government is tackling the very issues that drove the sport away after the 2013 season.
The original Indian Grand Prix, which ran from 2011 to 2013, was a fan favorite, with Sebastian Vettel winning all three races. However, the event was ruined by financial and bureaucratic issues, primarily a dispute over whether F1 should be taxed as entertainm

But once again, Sampson isn't done, telling CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein that he will not retire and he'll return for the 2026-27 season. He put a ****** on on his decision to return, revealing an increased enthusiasm to continue coaching.

NFL Makes Punishment Decision on Ex-Bills WR Stefon Diggs After Super Bowl

Officials largely ignored when former Buffalo Bills receiver Stefon Diggs got into a fight with Seattle Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe in the Super Bowl, and now the league office has apparently taken the same approach.
Diggs and Jobe tangled late in the second half, exchanging shoves after the Seahawks defensive back delivered a hit on Diggs out of bounds. Teammates broke up the fight and no flags were thrown despite what appeared to be some clear penalties.
The NFL has now passed its review of the Super Bowl, comi

Russia offers cash bonuses, frees prisoners and lures foreigners to replenish its troops in Ukraine

For average wage earners in Russia, it's a big payday. For criminals seeking to escape the harsh conditions and abuse in prison, it's a chance at freedom. For immigrants hoping for a better life, it's a simplified path to citizenship.
All they have to do is sign a contract to fight in Ukraine.
As Russia seeks to replenish its forces in nearly four years of war — and avoid an unpopular nationwide mobilization — it's pulling out all the stops to find new troops to send into the battlefield.

Takeaways from AP's report on how Bangladeshi workers were tricked into fighting in the Ukraine war

LAKSHMIPUR, Bangladesh (AP) — Bangladeshi workers were lured to Russia under the false promise of civilian work and then forced to fight in the Ukraine war, an ******* ociated Press investigation has found.
In interviews with three men who escaped Russia, and the families of three others who are missing, the AP documented a pattern of deception by labor recruiters who enticed workers with promises of lucrative job opportunities, only for them to unknowingly sign contracts for military servic

Navy bans sailors from using kratom, other drugs

The U.S. Navy announced that it is prohibiting the consumption of an organic opioid, along with several other substances, in a recent service-wide message.
The Navy announced in a Jan. 14 memo that service members were barred from using kratom, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.
“Protecting service member welfare and readiness is paramount to maintaining an effective fighting force,” the message reads. “Additionally, substance misuse by members of the armed forces is incompatible with military standards of good order, discipline, perform

Democrats try new tactic to remove Trump's name from Kennedy Center

Democratic lawmakers are fighting to restore the original name of what is now dubbed the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and pushing to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.
One House member has filed a lawsuit saying the Trump-appointed board acted illegally to rename the building. Two more filed resolutions condemning the name change, and three senators want to restore the name back to just Kennedy and prevent future presidents from naming things after themselves.

On Feb. 22, 2020, “Mad” Mike Hughes towed a homemade rocket to the Mojave Desert and launched himself into the sky. His goal? To view the flatness of the Earth from ***** e. This was his third attempt, and tragically it was fatal. Hughes crashed shortly after takeoff and died.
Hughes’ nickname – Mad Mike – might strike you as apt. Is it not crazy to risk your life fighting for a theory that was disproven in ancient Greece?
But Hughes’ conviction, though striking, is not unique. Across all recorded cultures, people have held strong beliefs that seemed to lack evidence in their favor – one mig

Lasers are everywhere. Whether for barcode scanners, hair removal treatments or fiber-optic internet connections, these beams of light power our everyday lives. Their history dates back to Einstein’s theories in the 1910s and experiments funded by the U.S. government in the 1950s. It took decades for lasers to go from theory to research prototypes to ubiquitous technology.
Many discoveries follow a similar path, including right here in Tennessee.

Africa’s forests have turned from a carbon sink into a carbon source, according to research that underscores the need for urgent action to save the world’s great natural climate stabilizers.
The alarming shift, which has happened since 2010, means all of the planet’s three main rainforest regions — the South American Amazon, Southeast Asia, and Africa — have gone from being allies in the fight against climate breakdown to being part of the problem.
Human activity is the primary cause of the problem. Farmers are clearing more land for food production. Infrastructure projects and mining are ex

Broncos come back from bye with everything within reach
SB Nation

Bo Nix, Sean Payton, and the Denver Broncos are in uncharted territory.
It’s been 10 years since the Broncos were in this position. Not only sitting atop the AFC West standings, but also fighting for the top seed in the AFC playoffs. With that comes homefield advantage and the bye.
Denver heads east to face the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football at 9-2 and everything within reach.
How does Payton balance keeping the Broncos focused on the task at hand and not looking ahead while also knowing the outcome if the

Republicans once led the redistricting fight. Now Democrats may be gaining the edge.

Riding high into his second term after defeating Kamala Harris and winning the popular vote, President Donald Trump claimed Republicans were "entitled to five more seats" in Congress from Texas – setting off a campaign to redraw the congressional map at the expense of Democrats.
The comments marked the start of a high-stakes, nationwide redistricting fight before next year’s elections, with Republicans looking for opportunities to insulate their majority from the typical headwinds the president’s party fac

La. man out on bail months after overturned conviction ended 27 years on death row

A Louisiana man who spent 27 years on death row was released on bail after his murder conviction was overturned earlier this year in the 1993 death of his girlfriend’s toddler, his lawyers said.
The release Wednesday of Jimmie Duncan, 57, marked a “significant step forward in his long fight for justice,” one of his attorneys, Chris Fabricant, said in a statement.
Fabricant noted the role of what he called “fraudulent forensics” in Duncan’s conviction and described his incarceration as “a gross miscarriage o

Gainesville High School could take legal action to reverse football players’ suspensions

The fight to reverse the decision to suspend dozens of Gainesville High School football players from this Friday’s game is not over.
“We’re in the process of dealing with our school system’s attorneys and seeing what our options are,” said Adam Lindsey, Athletic Director for Gainesville City Schools.
Lindsey was part of a virtual hearing Tuesday in which the Georgia High School ***** ociation upheld a decision to suspend 35 of 39 Gainesville players after a fight broke out on the field during a game a

How OSU's Ryan Day plans to avoid repeat of postgame fight vs Michigan
The Columbus Dispatch

As Ohio State football prepares for the trip to Ann Arbor to face Michigan, Ryan Day will have a conversation with the Buckeyes to avoid a repeat of the fight that occurred in the postgame of last year's rivalry matchup.
"We're just going to talk about how we handle ourselves on and off the field to make sure everybody is prepared," Day said.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings smacks Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig postgame

San Francisco 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings wasn't approaching Carolina Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig for a handshake and a hug after his team's 20-9 win on Monday Night Football. Jennings came up to Moehrig and struck him in the face mask with his right hand, then got in a left hand before the two were separated.
It's unusual to see a fight after a game when the teams come together, but earlier this season, Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch approached Kansas City Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster after a Sunday ni

Researchers have developed nasal drops that travel along the nerves of the nose into the central nervous system to fight the deadliest brain cancer.
Preliminary test results reveal that the medication safely reached its target, helping protect mice against these usually fatal tumors.
"This is an approach that offers hope for safer, more effective treatments for glioblastoma and potentially other immune treatment-resistant cancers, and it marks a critical step toward clinical application," says neurosurgeon Alexander Stegh of Washington University.
"This redefines how cancer immunotherapy ca

Inside a lab in the French city of Orleans, scientists are testing out the limits of molecules in our body called messenger RNA -- best known for being used in Covid-19 vaccines -- in the hopes of finding a breakthrough treatment for a particularly deadly cancer.
Messenger RNA, or mRNA, are molecules that carry genetic information from the DNA in every cell in the body to create specific proteins.
"For cancer, this message will stimulate the patient's ability to effectively fight tumours," Dimitri Szymczak, project manager of French research institute INSERM's ART lab in Orleans, told AFP.

Researchers led by a team from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel have just discovered a way to destroy harmful 'senescent' cells that accumulate with age and ramp up the kind of tissue damage and inflammation that slowly brings life to a grinding halt.
The team found that CD4 T immune cells transform into ****** assins of the damaging tissues when biological aging is detected in the body.
The new fighters, called CD4-Eomes (after the protein they produce), have been spotted before. However, this latest study highlights for the first time how closely they're linked to senescent cel

Trump opens door to U.S. military action inside Mexico and Colombia

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump opened the door Monday to launching U.S. strikes in Mexico, a move that would be a dramatic escalation of his administration’s fight against drug cartels.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump answered a question about potentially striking Mexico or sending American troops or other personnel into the country by saying it would be “OK with me."
“Would I launch strikes in Mexico to stop drugs? OK with me, whatever we have to do to stop drugs. Mexico is — look, I looked at Mexico
