He was referring to the Internal Market bill, which the Boris Johnson cabinet is set to make public on Wednesday. The legislation sparked a scandal earlier this week over provisions, which would de facto renege on key parts of the EU Withdrawal Agreement, which had been included […]

But recent family events, coupled with the devastating results of the 2016 election, had convinced her that now was the time to step up. That’s how Weeks found herself in front of a sea of older white women at the Colors […]

The one thing that will be different, of course: no fans. If you’ve seen midnight Korean baseball airing on ESPN in the absence of sports here, you’ve seen what that looks like. It’s pretty weird.
