It will also be the last. Last November at Homestead-Miami Speedway, a tearful Patrick announced she would end her driving career with the “Danica Double” — final appearances in both the Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500. Patrick confirmed Monday she will drive the No. 7 GoDaddy Chevrolet fielded by Premium Motorsports in her stock-car swan song. Both the car number and sponsor harken to her NASCAR debut. Patrick will leave stock car racing disappointed with a record that includes no victories or top-fives and seven top-10s in her first 190 starts in NASCAR’s top series....

Daniel Hale of Nashville, Tennessee, pleaded guilty to violating the Espionage Act by leaking top-secret documents. Hale handwrote 11 pages of personal narrative from the Alexandria Jail describing his remorse in helping to track Afghani citizens who were then killed. After viewing gruesome videos of people who were killed, in part, because of his work, Hale said his conscience drove him to share top-secret details, including that the drone program was not as adept at avoiding civilian deaths as the government claimed, with an investigative reporter shortly after he left military service....

Daoud Hari, author of an upcoming book called “The Translator,” worked as such a guide in Darfur, the region of western Sudan that has been the scene of atrocities the U.S. government regards as genocide. He knows places where the sands are littered with human bones, some “still wearing their clothes and leathery skin.” He knows that mirages can make birds on distant dunes look like camels, and that some of the trails leading to safety will be erased with any new wind....

Starter Darcy Kuemper left during the second period of Tuesday’s crazy 8-6 win over the Oilers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. He appeared to go over to the bench, talk to coach Jared Bednar and leave the ice. The team later announced that he had a lower-body injury and was “doubtful” to return. Kuemper left the game having allowed three goals on 16 shots before he was forced out with the injury....

Bailey, 56, a Republican state senator, was asked whether he favored exceptions for rape and incest when it came to bans on abortion but didn’t answer the question directly, instead taking aim at Democrat Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, 57. Poll tracker FiveThirtyEight rates Pritzker as “very likely” to win the Illinois governor’s race, giving him 99 chances in 100 of being re-elected. Bailey has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump and has said he would support a total ban on abortion in the state of Illinois and has compared the procedure to the Holocaust....

In her first television interview since she revealed her identity in an Atlantic article last month, Shelley Lynn Thornton said she doesn’t really talk about abortion “because I’m not going to let either side use me for their advantage because that’s not me and—you know—find somebody else.” Thornton said she learned of her birth identity around her 19th birthday when reporters at the National Enquirer informed her she was the biological daughter of Norma McCorvey, who used the pseudonym “Jane Roe” as the plaintiff in the case that legalized abortion across the country....

Adams came up at a time when Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb were each 1,000-yard threats. Nelson came up when Greg Jennings was in his prime. Greg Jennings came up when Donald Driver was at his peak. Driver came up when Antonio Freeman was a star. The Packers’ lineage of quarterbacks is talked about all the time. Their run of talent out wide has been pretty phenomenal, too. On Sunday against the Seahawks, Adams did what each of his predecessors managed at the heights of their careers: deliver a signature postseason performance as the clear No....

The Empire actor, 39, was the subject of a Chappelle stand-up bit back in August 2019 in the Netflix special Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones. The routine took place long before Smollett was found guilty but saw the comedian roast the actor for lying to police. “One night in Chicago, he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack,” Chappelle began in his spiel. “Oh it’s a crazy story, apparently when he was walking down the street late at night, two white men came out of the shadows with MAGA hats on and beat him up, tied a rope around his neck and called him all kinds of [slurs] put some bleach on him and ran off into the night....

On Wednesday, Portnoy spoke on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show in Boston regarding the distribution deal which Portnoy believes is unlikely to take place due to MLB’s reluctance as a conservative league and traditional fans’ disdain for the potential deal with Barstool Sports. “Barstool is a lightning rod for so many people. I’ve never totally understood it,” Portnoy told Hill. “Especially in today’s world, there’s tons of people who love us and I’d say there is a small vocal minority that despises us....

The former members of the legendary folk-rock supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were among the first musicians to pull their music from the streaming giant in protest of COVID-19 misinformation on The Joe Rogan Experience.

It is important to understand who the Davos crowd are and what motivates them. They are the bosses of global businesses and big banks. They rub shoulders with leading political figures. In many cases, they have occupied these powerful positions for decades. To some degree, their collective decisions and policy stances are followed by aspiring world leaders. Yet for all their talk of global cooperation, of safeguarding the environment and of corporate social responsibility, there is a moral vacuum in their worldview....

Bowser declared a public emergency Thursday, freeing up $10 million to address what she called a “humanitarian crisis,” spurred by the influx of migrants sent by the pair of Republican border state governors to protest the Biden administration’s immigration policies.
