MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — In a stunning victory aided by scandal, Democrat Doug Jones won Alabama's special Senate election on Tuesday, beating back history, an embattled Republican opponent and President Donald Trump, who urgently endorsed GOP rebel Roy Moore despite a litany of sexual misconduct allegations. It was the first Democratic Senate victory in a quarter-century in Alabama, one of the reddest of red states, and proved anew that party loyalty is anything but sure in the age of Trump. The...

The Athletics are trying to add hitting power to their outfield, one of their weaker, more shallowly stocked parts of their lineup. Let’s just get it out there: Piscotty did not have the most sparking 2017. Читать дальше...

Democrat Doug Jones scored a stunning upset victory Tuesday in a fiercely contested US Senate race in conservative Alabama, defeating a controversial Donald Trump-backed Republican who failed to overcome damaging accusations of sexual misconduct.

Vasilevskiy spooks Blues, then releases the kittens.

TB-3
STL-0

Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped all 32 shots he faced for the shutout victory. Pure Vasilarceny.

Hooooly crap, Doug Jones did it.

It can sometimes seem as though mass shootings are occurring more frequently. Researchers who have been studying such crimes for decades say they aren't, but they have been getting deadlier. In the five years since a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school, the nation has seen a number of massacres topping the death toll from Newtown and previous mass shootings, many of them involving rifles similar to the one used in Sandy Hook. But Americans wanting to know... Читать дальше...
