Although the resort hotels of my company, Las Vegas Sands, are shuttered, I’m paying every one of our nearly 10,000 employees as though they were still working. We’re even working to make up for lost tips. I hope to do that right up until the time that we can reopen our businesses. It’s not only...

Many state leaders, including Gov. Andrew Cuomo and...
Independent members of WeWork’s board wanted it to go through.
Joe Douglas didn’t draft Sam Darnold. He inherited Darnold. And Darnold was a big reason — beyond the reported six-year, $18 million-plus contract — why Christopher Johnson was able to lure his highly respected GM 10 months ago to replace Mike Maccagnan. Darnold is fortunate Douglas happens to be a former offensive lineman at Richmond,...
So my family has been in some form of isolation-lockdown-quarantine for 26 days now. I know you don’t really care how I’m doing, because you have your own troubles, but I’ll tell you: I’m fine, and we’re fine — that is, just so long as what we’re doing, what we’re sacrificing, what we’re avoiding, all...

Kudos to the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, the Catholic charity that announced Tuesday that it’s donating $50 million to New York hospitals and nonprofits to help patients of all faiths diagnosed with the coronavirus.

Bloomberg News reports that the US intelligence community has concluded that China is “intentionally” hiding the true numbers of its coronavirus cases and fatalities — a fact that should surprise no one, and is yet another way Beijing has made the pandemic a bigger problem for the rest of the world. Deborah Birx, the doctor-diplomat...

Tua Tagovailoa has heard plenty of questions pertaining to the health of his surgically repaired hip leading up to the 2020 NFL Draft, but the former Alabama star quarterback has made it clear he is ready to return to the football field. Perhaps in a bid to stem some of the talk that he might...
