Greene named the members in a public letter after her fourth attempt to prematurely adjourn the House. In the letter, she referred to the stimulus bill as “the $1.9 trillion Blue State Bailout.” “For the past year, most of America has been closed. If any place in America needs to close, it is Congress,” her letter stated. “Every day that the House of Representatives is open is another day with the Democrats’ progressive wish list shoved down our throats,” Greene continued....

Trump’s tweet on Wednesday, which linked his face with the body of actor Sylvester Stallone in his youthful prime, left many scratching their heads and sparked many responses on Twitter. In what appeared to be a defense of his father, Donald Trump Jr. joined in the fun and mocked the head of the house intelligence committee, Adam Schiff, who is presiding over the impeachment inquiry into the president, by tweeting a doctored image of him in a leotard....

The report from The New Yorker sparked questions of whether Meadows, a vocal critic of the 2020 election who has repeated Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud, may have committed fraud himself. Thursday, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein asked the State Bureau of Investigation to look into the reports and review Medows’ voter registration to determine if he committed a crime, a spokesperson for his office confirmed to North Carolina news station WRAL....

In an article published by the editorial board on Thursday, the North Carolina paper suggested that even though Meadows no longer serves within a public office capacity, the threat to democracy is still ongoing. “Meadows’ texts reveal that many Republicans were not merely complicit—they were willing soldiers in Trump’s bogus battles. Of everything we’ve learned since Jan. 6, the primary takeaway is this: these threats to democracy will not go away on their own....

The 38-page presentation, entitled “Election Fraud, Foreign Interference & Options for 6 Jan,” is dated one day before the Capitol riot. It’s believed to have been submitted by Meadows after he was subpoenaed by the panel in connection with the insurrection. The slides contained a series of recommendations for Donald Trump and his administration to follow ahead of the certification of the electoral votes ceremony to declare Joe Biden the winner....

The question for traders is now not if, but when it will pass. And how much the next government will hope to throw at it if an agreement isn’t reached, or it doesn’t pass the Senate in the next two weeks. Many are pricing in for a Joe Biden victory, trusting the recent polling data that the Democratic hopeful is well ahead of the incumbent, President Donald Trump. “The backdrop to this whole fiasco is that everyone knows that some stimulus is going to get passed at some point,” Edward Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda, told Newsweek....

The Marlins outfielder admitted there is a possibility he may not play again this season, but said he is working hard toward getting back on the field.

Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill has dismissed talk about trading Realmuto, but the catcher’s agent, Jeff Berry, predicted his client will be with a different team by spring training. “It’s not a discussion for me to have, honestly,” Realmuto said Friday. “It’s not my decision whether I get traded or not. It’s up to the Marlins. Whatever they want to do with me, that’s up to them. So for me, there is really no discussion to be had....

“Jarrod Saltalamacchia reinstated from paternity list and designated for assignment.” Congratulations. Now, take a hike. Even if Jeffrey Loria and Co. didn’t bother to chip in and buy the Saltalamacchias a baby gift, the good news is the $14 million or so the team still owes the catcher should pay for plenty of diapers. Nonetheless, it’s a stunning end for a relationship so proudly trumpeted by Marlins brass a year and a half ago....

Mars One was officially selected for screening at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. Following the film’s success, the movie is now Brazil’s official contender for Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards, which is scheduled to take place on March 12, 2023. Mars One followed the story of a family of four, including mother Tércia, father Wellington, son Deivinho, and a daughter named Eunice. The family struggled with financial problems as both Tercia and Wellington worked as homemakers and caretakers, respectively....

The site chosen for this grand exploration is the Jezero Crater. Scientists feel this crater with a diameter of approximately 30 miles was once a water-filled lake, and thus the best possible place currently known to examine the ground for past Martian life. Perseverance will send information in real time, while also collecting rock samples. These samples will be stored on the surface of Mars for a potential future mission to pickup and return to Earth....

Payet’s tantrum just like Torres - Carragher The France star is said to have told the Hammers that he will not play for them again this season and has requested a transfer in the January window, with his former club the only team to have so far made a known offer. Marseille president Jacques-Henri Eyraud travelled to the English capital on Monday in an attempt to negotiate a deal for Payet but West Ham are holding out for a fee between £30 million and £35m and are refusing to budge on that valuation....

The hosts overcame Hyeres in the previous round, thanks to goals from Alexis Sanchez and Bamba Dieng. Eric Bailly was sent off in the 15th minute, but Marseille avoided a slip-up against the fourth tier side. Rennes, meanwhile, secured their place in this round with a hard-earned win against Bordeaux. Benjamin Bourigeaud gave them a 23rd-minute lead before Jeremy Doku restored their advantage after Bordeaux had equalized through Josh Maja....

The resounding reaction from most of Twitter seemed to be ... Henderson's hoops career, for most basketball-watching fans, is finished. He won't be an NBA player (ranked the No. 82 senior by DraftExpress) and he's finished at Ole Miss. Which leads us to an important point: Somehow, we're guessing SportsCenter will get by without Henderson's viewership or his takes on matters of the day.

Liotta passed away in his sleep in May while in the Dominican Republic, where he was one week into shooting his next film, Dangerous Waters. Liotta was perhaps best known for his role in Goodfellas, but despite the film’s massive cultural impact Scorsese and Liotta never worked together on a film again.
