Newsom, Dems flunk Governing 101

30 janvier 2026 à 00:00
Gov. Gavin Newsom has been roaming the country and the halls of Davos telling people he should be promoted from his current job.

  • Tournament is now world’s lowest-paying continental competition

Sundance film festival: the story of the Marion County Record and the forces that tried to destroy it is expanded for a charming, and concerning, look at freedom of the press

O’Neill, thought to be a managerial yesterday’s man not so long ago, continues to do his bit for 70-somethings everywhere. The Irishman will know Celtic must improve to make meaningful, further progress in this competition but such detail can wait. Even continuation in the Europa League had looked a long shot at one point. Utrecht will be delighted to see the back of a tournament which yielded just a single point from eight grisly fixtures.
