Reka Gyorgy, a former swimmer at Virginia Tech, was among those who lent their support for female athletes in an amicus brief filed to the Supreme Court last week. The brief was filed in support of the state of West Virginia and its Save Women’s Sports law. The legislation seeks to keep transgender student-athletes at all level of competition to play against those with the same biological gender instead of the gender they identify as. A preliminary injunction dissolved in January when a federal judge ruled the law didn’t violate Title IX protections but the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled to reinstate a preliminary injunction. Gyorgy made headlines last year during the NCAA Championships when she blasted the governing body of collegiate sports for allowing Lia Thomas , of Penn, to … [Read more...] about Ex-NCAA swimmer still upset over Lia Thomas making it to 500 finals in 2022 championships

Roy Cooper’s been waiting a long time for this. Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images The Affordable Care Act was signed into law 13 years ago, and the Medicaid expansion that was central to the law still hasn’t been implemented in all 50 states. But we are seeing steady, if extremely slow, progress in the effort to give people who can’t afford private insurance but don’t qualify for traditional Medicaid access to crucial health services. The U.S. Supreme Court case that upheld the ACA also made Medicaid expansion optional for states. Twenty-four states accepted the expansion when it became fully available at the beginning of 2014, and that number has steadily expanded, with the most recent burst of forward momentum coming from ballot initiatives in red states like Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Utah. Now a 40th state is in the process of climbing on board : North Carolina. As the Associated Press reports , legislation is headed toward the desk of … [Read more...] about North Carolina Finally Takes the Money, Expands Medicaid

Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once his country’s richest man, has resided in “gulag lite,” as he calls the Russian penal system under Vladimir Putin, for six years. Since the spring, on most working days he is roused at 6:45 in the morning, surrounded by guards and packed into an armored van for the drive to court. For two hours each way, the man who once supplied 2 percent of the world’s oil crouches in a steel cage measuring 47 by 31 by 20 inches. Convicted of tax evasion and fraud in 2005, Khodorkovsky now faces a fresh set of charges that add up to the supposed theft of $30 billion. In the dark of the van, Khodorkovsky tries to prepare for his trial, replaying in his mind his night reading, the daily stack of documents from his lawyers. But Russia’s most famous prisoner worries too about what would happen if a car slammed into the van. (Collisions are routine in Moscow’s clotted avenues.) “Your chances of making it out alive,” he wrote me one day this summer, “at any speed, are next to … [Read more...] about Who Fears a Free Mikhail Khodorkovsky?

Myke Towers could tell you that he never knew he would make it big, but that wouldn’t be true. Because back in 2014, six years before the rapper would put out his debut album, he was preparing for a make-or-break show in his hometown, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and breaking wasn’t an option. “Puerto Rico is the most difficult crowd to please,” he said this month, video-chatting from a Miami hotel room a few weeks before the release of his third album, “La Vida Es Una” (“Life Is One,” a reminder that we only live once). “They don’t just give out approval, you have to show that you are good enough. If you make it in P.R., you’re going to make it anywhere.” Over the course of two back-to-back albums, he did just that. His 2020 debut, “Easy Money Baby,” went triple platinum, building off the success of his 2016 mixtape, “El Final del Principio” (“The End of the Beginning”), while incorporating reggaeton, Brazilian funk and Colombian melodies. “Lyke Mike,” released in 2021, was a firm … [Read more...] about Myke Towers Is Seizing His Moment

A change of messenger at Goldman Sachs For nearly a decade, Jake Siewert led Goldman Sachs ’s post-crisis efforts to shed its image as one of Wall Street’s most mysterious, and maligned, money machines. We’re the first to report that he plans to announce his departure later today. Mr. Siewert joined Goldman as its communications chief in 2012, bringing both political connections — he was a top aide to Tim Geithner when he was Treasury secretary, and spent eight years in the Clinton administration, including as White House press secretary — and experience as a senior executive at Alcoa. (Mr. Siewert’s wife, Christine Anderson, is the global head of external relations at Blackstone.) He did not have an easy job: The day after his hiring was announced, a former Goldman banker published a now-famous Op-Ed, “ Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs ,” accusing the firm of fostering a “toxic and destructive” environment. As he departs, disgruntled junior bankers at the firm have … [Read more...] about Goldman Sachs’s Top Image Maker Is Leaving
