On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) stood by his concerns expressed in disclosures over Twitter’s handling of the Hunter Biden story and stated that “liberal Democrats should be for the principle of standing up for First Amendment speech.” And “I do hope more Democrats will stand up for the broader principle” of wanting “forums that don’t have censorship, that allow for all perspectives.” Khanna said, “Erin, what surprised me is that Twitter made the decision in the first place to censor. Look, liberal Democrats should be for the principle of standing up for First Amendment speech. And New York Times [vs.] Sullivan said, we want speech to be open, uninhibited, wide-ranging. Now, I get Twitter’s a private actor, but they’re effectively a modern public square. And it was disappointing to me that they were suppressing The New York Post.” He added, “Well, look, we’ve all written emails, and I’m glad that they released that one.

He seems to bear some bruises from an up-and-down life. If Fraser seems both as he was once was but also someone markedly different, that’s appropriate. In Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale,” he gives a … [Read more...] about Brendan Fraser is back. But to him, ‘I was never far away’

AL RAYYAN, Qatar — The noise had been building, rising from raucous to deafening and beyond, until it became something all-encompassing, vaguely elemental. The tension, too, as Morocco drew closer and closer to achieving what had seemed almost impossible. Spain missed one penalty. Spain missed another penalty. Spain missed a third. Suddenly, after two arduous, attritional hours, Morocco stood on the edge. A place in the quarterfinals of the World Cup, its finest ever performance in the tournament, was in its grasp. The pressure, the sound, became almost unbearable. At that point, Achraf Hakimi — born in Spain, having spent all of his childhood in Spain, who might in another world have been playing for Spain — stepped forward and took the gentlest, deftest penalty imaginable, nothing more than a silken, slight touch of the ball, a moment of utter calm before the mayhem descended. Spain’s defeat, on penalties after a 0-0 draw, was, in many ways, entirely fitting. For all its … [Read more...] about Spain, fond of passing, bows out meekly when forced to shoot.
