I asked Quinn Hughes about his contract situation, and he said his two feet are “firmly planted” in Minnesota. And he said he wouldn’t be surprised if something happens “soon.” #mnwild.

There are 30 NFL stadiums -- 27 (90%) used direct public funding. The other 3 got tax breaks/publicly funded infastructure. Stop taking games from fans, stop stealing rev you promised tax-payers when asking for their $, stop diluting the product, and stop risking player health.

I came into the Foreign Service under Ronald Reagan, served under every president, even a few months under Donald Trump. NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE, ever asked me who I voted for or doubted my "fidelity" to my country. They don't want professionals, they want political hacks.

SCOOP: The State Dept has started asking career diplomats up for promotion if they voted for Trump in 16, 20, 24. Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff. State tells @washingtonsun it's screening for "fidelity" and execution of the president's vision👇

Young Kenyans are a politically engaged bunch. Yet their turnout at elections has been in decline for years. Could they buck that trend—and vote against a president they despise? economist.com/middle-east-an…

At the start of the war Iran had ~135m barrels of oil in floating storage in Asia, which it continued selling to China After a months-long American blockade, that stockpile has been totally depleted, according to @Kpler wsj.com/world/middle-east/ir…

Iran’s Fleet of Shadow Tankers Has Run Out of Oil After Monthslong U.S. Blockade

Tehran had millions of barrels of crude in tankers floating in Asian waters that gave it a steady flow of much-needed cash. Now, that oil has dried up.
