It's true. I'm heading off on a fabulous new adventure at @MSNBC. Beyond excited. And SO grateful to my @washingtonpost family for making me who I am. Rooting for you, my dear friends and colleagues, to keep shining a light, when our country needs you. Best - Carol
This week’s TAIL OR FADE on @FDSportsbook — I pick an o/u player prop, you apply a 50% profit boost token to either side in the tail or fade tab on the app. Today’s pick: I’m going OVER 30.5 points for Jalen Brunson. I think he shows up in a big way. Tail or fade?
The discourse around Juan Soto in NY right now is crazy. Everything he does gets scrutinized. In a game where you fail 7 out of 10 times every failure is being held against him. Everything he’s doing is under a microscope. Is he hustling? What does his body language mean? Should he have laid out for this ball? Some of it is the NY media (loud radio guy screaming at him for walking too much). But a big part of it is the contract he signed. Placed a target on his back. Expectations are impossible to meet. He did nothing wrong for the record. You want to hop around and chase the bag, that’s perfectly fine. Capitalism. America. The market dictates your worth. All that stuff . But it feels like this is becoming a warning to players coming after him with these mega deals. The money is bigger and greener but the grass may not be.

🚨BREAKING🚨 The Louisiana Department of Health has forbid its staff from promoting COVID, flu or mpox vaccines. It's a dramatic shift in vaccine policy, and a strict and sweeping ban that applies to all aspects of the health department's work. npr.org/sections/shots…
It’s official. Thank you, @dcbigjohn and the talented staff at Gambit, The Times-Picayune & The Advocate — and thanks to the many readers who have followed (and critiqued) me over the years. BTW, I’ll still do my Tuesday Commentary on WWLTV. nola.com/gambit/news/th…
