I agree that Sidney Crosby is a great player with incredible gifts. But I’m far more impressed by his kindness and generosity. He’s a leader who works incredibly hard. He seems like a good man and he does #Canada proud. #hockey #penguins

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Mike Johnson defends Max Miller despite horrible abuse allegations: "We don't take disciplinary action against members for allegations. It's in his own words 'a nasty divorce proceeding' ... he thinks it's a hit job on him."
Kevin Hassett on Fox News argues that if you exclude the sectors that lost hundreds of thousands of jobs, "you actually had a number that was about plus 100,000" 🙃

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

Phang: "The fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag."
