Dan Le Batard Show Co-Host Goes OFF on Patriots Robert Kraft Owner for Badmouthing Bill Belichick to…The Dan Le Batard Show co-host Jon “Stugotz” Weiner called out New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft for comments he made about Bill Belichick to the owner of the Atlanta Falcons. In a Wednesday report from ESPN, sources told the outlet that Kraft reached out to Falcons owner Arthur Blank. At that time, the Falcons were interviewing Belichick for head coach. During this call, Kraft allegedly told Blank not to trust Belichick and that he wasn’t a good fit for their organization. That call, sources claimed, played a significant role in the Falcons’ decision to go in another direction and hire former Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris. Weiner took exception to Kraft’s actions. “Robert Kraft should be ashamed of himself,” Weiner said on Thursday’s episode of The Dan Le Batard Show. “I’m…

Trump’s Willing AccompliceYesterday, ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos conducted a skillful and revealing interview with New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. Over nine damning minutes, Sununu illustrated how deep into the Republican Party the rot has gone.The context for the interview is important. Governor Sununu is hardly a MAGA enthusiast. During the 2024 GOP primary, he supported Nikki Haley, and over the past several years, he’s been a harsh critic of Donald Trump. Sununu has referred to him as a “loser,” an “asshole,” and “not a real Republican.” He has said the nation needs to move past the “nonsense and drama” from the former president and that he expects “some kind of guilty verdict” against Trump. “This is serious,” Sununu said last June. “If even half of this stuff is true, he’s in real trouble.”Most significant, as Stephanopoulos pointed out, five days after January 6, Sununu said, “It is clear that President…

A Firm Bought Up Land in a Tiny Arizona Town—Then Sold Its Water to a Faraway SuburbThis story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. One of the biggest battles over Colorado River water is being staged in one of the west’s smallest rural enclaves. Tucked into the bends of the lower Colorado River, Cibola, Arizona, is a community of about 200 people. Maybe 300, if you count the weekenders who come to boat and hunt. Dusty shrublands run into sleepy residential streets, which run into neat fields of cotton and alfalfa. Nearly a decade ago, Greenstone Resource Partners LLC, a private company backed by global investors, bought almost 500 acres of agricultural land here in Cibola. In a first-of-its-kind deal, the company recently sold the water rights tied to the land to the town of Queen Creek, a suburb of Phoenix, for a…

Nestle adding sugar to poorer nations’ baby foods, group claimsViewNestle adds sugar to baby formulas and other foods for young children while keeping sugar content lower for the same products in wealthier nations, a new report from the Swiss-based advocacy group Public Eye claims.In its report titled “How Nestle gets children hooked on sugar in lower-income countries,” Public Eye tested several different products for their added sugar content. Public Eye expressed concerns that added sugar in these products was contributing to an increase in childhood obesity in these developing nations. In one example cited, Public Eye compared the added sugar content in Cerelac, a cookie-flavored cereal intended for babies 6 months and older. While Cerelac had no added sugar in products marketed in the U.K. and Germany, Public Eye said products in Thailand had 6 grams of sugar per serving.
