But “The Line Has Been Crossed” is probably more fitting. Speaking before a press conference at Dave & Buster’s in Times Square on Monday, Lobov said he can’t wait to grab Malignaggi “by the f—g head and shove my fist down his throat,” adding that the boxer is nothing more than a guy who padded his record with inferior opponents — even discrediting him for his December 2013 victory over Zab Judah, saying the latter boxer was past his prime at that point....
Pavarotti died, at 71, where he was born, in the northern Italian city of Modena, where his father had worked in a bakery, his mother in a cigar factory.

Even then, “the one policy direction seemed to be, ‘Do nothing, continue to negotiate, find a peaceful solution’,” he says....

In winning 36 games, New Orleans earned the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference and a spot in the Play-In Tournament.

DeSantis has been touted by many analysts as the front-runner for the GOP’s 2024 nomination if Trump doesn’t seek another presidential term. Some even view the Florida governor as potentially capable of successfully challenging Trump in the primaries if the former president does run again.

Trump said Monday that he been taking the drug to prevent the virus for about a week and a half, despite a lack of evidence that it is safe or effective. Pence is not following the president’s example, telling Fox News on Tuesday that his doctor disagrees with Trump’s medical advice, while noting that he supports others making different decisions. “I’m not [taking hydroxychloroquine], but I would never begrudge any American taking the advice of their physician,” Pence said....
Since Trump’s initial premature victory declaration and calls of foul play, Pence’s tone has been more conservative in nature—having suggested they were “on the road” to a win, though stopping short of declaring a win. In a speech Thursday, Trump continued such claims suggesting without evidence the election was somehow being stolen by Democrats. Pence, in a campaign email to supporters calling upon donations to its “Official Election Defense Fund,” said: “Thank you to the more than 60 MILLION Americans who cast their vote for four more years of President Donald J....
