Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, told Fox & Friends that another stimulus package needs to be agreed as quickly as possible after the Senate gets back from a two-week recess. The senator was responding to figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing the addition of 4.8 million jobs for last month, higher than the three million jobs that had been predicted. “It means we need a rescue package that would hit the gas to make the economy grow faster,” he said on Thursday when asked about the significance of the job numbers....

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, and President Joe Biden unveiled the $3.5 trillion spending proposal last week. The massive bill would work to fund childcare, provide money for education priorities, and expand health care access to millions of Americans. But Republicans have vocally opposed the plan, raising concerns about inflation and saying the bill will make Americans dependent on the government. “You’ve gotta have a quorum to pass a bill in the Senate,” Graham pointed out during a Sunday morning interview with Fox News....

In an interview with Sky Sports’ Revista de La Liga, Balague asked Bojan his opinion on whether Messi could ‘play on a cold, winter Wednesday night at Stoke’.

Ronaldo and Messi are undoubtedly the greatest footballers of their generation and arguably two of the greatest players of all time. The two have been setting the La Liga on fire for many seasons now and have shared the Ballon d’Or between them since 2008. Despite their rivalry, Messi had no hesitation in praising the Real Madrid superstar. “I don’t want to single one out, but I’d say that I’m happy that most of them play for Barcelona and I’ve only played against them internationally,” Messi said....

Chalk up one more casualty to contemporary America’s most crippling disease–fear of litigation. Slides and seesaws are disappearing from children’s parks around the country because city authorities are afraid of going bankrupt if the parents of an injured kid sue them for negligence. Doctors order slews of unnecessary tests for patients with the mildest of symptoms because if one in a thousand has a serious illness the doctor could be sued for malpractice....

The video, which is just over a minute and a half long, highlights prominent Republicans who have yet to publicly acknowledge Biden’s victory and warns they risk undermining democracy. “Americans have always said, ‘It can’t happen here.’ But it can, and it will, unless we stand united and fight for our #democracy,” the Lincoln Project tweeted with their latest video, echoing the title of a famous novel by Sinclair Lewis....

Graham claims the organization’s head relied too heavily on the Chinese government’s assessment of its own COVID-19 outbreak leading the WHO not to declare the novel coronavirus as a public health emergency as quickly as it should have. The WHO, which received 14.67 percent of its funding from the U.S. in 2018 and 2019, is currently led by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, an Ethiopian microbiologist who has served as its Director-General since 2017....

In March 2019, the Republican Senator from South Carolina and a longtime Trump ally, told reporters, “If President Trump pardoned anybody in his orbit, it would not play well.” Graham’s quote resurfaced after Trump issued a new round of 26 pardons and three commutations on Wednesday, in one of the final acts of his outgoing administration. Among those most notably pardoned include Charles Kushner, the father of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, along with former Trump adviser Roger Stone and Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort....

Linksys EA9500 review: Price Linksys EA9500 review: Design and Features Make no mistake: that this thing is huge – more than twice as big as most routers, so you’ll need to find the space for it. It also has eight aerials sticking out too, giving it the appearance of a flipped beetle – it’s not much of a looker unless you’re a big sci-fi fan. It has a rectangular display with eight lines illuminated on the surface, presumably one for each aerial, which does look cool....

Murkowski and six other Senate Republicans—Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, and Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania—joined Democrats in voting to convict Trump on Saturday. However, the 57-43 majority was far from the two-thirds needed for a conviction. With an acquittal, the Senate cannot hold another vote to disqualify Trump from running for office in the future....

“Agriculture know-nothings,” he calls them, for starters. And urban dolts who think food comes from stores, not from Kansas. He means people who do not know that (let typography suggest his tone) ONLY FARM PROGRAMS HAVE DECLINED AN AVERAGE OF 9 PERCENT ANNUALLY SINCE 1985 AND ARE GOING TO GO ON DECLINING. Take that, all you “who complain about agriculture with your mouths full,” you “well-fed, arm-chaired, behind-the-lines generals who allege that somehow the aggies have been dodging the budget draft....

ROMANO: So after a few days of listening to “Magic,” my official reaction is still stuck on “mixed.” Which is a little disappointing, really, because liking Springsteen is practically in my blood. I grew up South Jersey, about 45 miles from the Boss’s hometown of Freehold, and spent my childhood summers on the shore. As a 2-year-old, I used to “perform” selections from “Born in the U.S.A.” for my parents after dinner....
