“In many ways, in my point of view, we’re on the other side of the mountain,” Cuomo said at his press conference Monday. “We got hit with the virus, we saw that incline, we saw the number of cases growing, we saw the number of deaths growing, we finally hit a plateau because we did what we needed to do.” Cuomo also noted there have been at least 488 new hospitalizations of the novel coronavirus in the past 24 hours, as well as 161 deaths....

On the stump in Georgia, and in Milwaukee, former President Barack Obama—like a ghost of Democrats past—delivered fiery speech after fiery speech, injecting a new urgency for the party’s success this midterm cycle as Republicans clawed back from seeming oblivion in the summertime polls. At risk: the permanent loss of abortion rights in today’s post-Roe environment, defeat at the hands of a Republican Party under the banner of former President Donald Trump, and the potential loss of entitlements like Social Security and Medicaid that Republicans have hinted at rolling back, if not eliminating entirely....

According to the Mirror, Wenger insisted in a presser on Wednesday that he has no plans to walk away from Arsenal this summer. “I do not want to come back on that, I respect always my contract,” asserted the 66-year-old, who is Arsenal head coach since 1996....

The game’s dominance is in no small part due to its departure from traditional FromSoftware game design, specifically in its open-world gameplay. While the game is similar to others in that it has some open-world quirks like Elden Ring gargoyles jumping on players to kill them, what the open world did bring was an influx of players who had steered clear of FromSoftware titles in the past.

If the November election was any guide, Loeffler and Perdue needed Republicans voters to show up in force on Election Day as they did for President Donald Trump, to help offset massive early voting that went largely in favor of the president’s Democratic rival Joe Biden.
