I M A Democrat Who Won In Trump Country. We Must Unite And Build Back Better Opinion

I’m one of just three House Democrats who was on the ballot with Donald Trump, who won where he won—not once but twice. Both times, I won where he won.

Among activists and local governments, the meaning of “defund the police” ranges from reining in municipal police budgets to complete police abolition....

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has objected to the use of Decision Review System (DRS) since it has doubts about its accuracy and doesn’t accept its use in any series in which India plays.
