Athleticwear retailer, Champion, has launched a new collection in
recognition of gaming as a sport.

The gamer collection includes a pullover and full zip hoodie, tracksuit
bottoms in black and heather grey and the clothing line is made from a
modern fleece fabric with odor control technology.

The design of Champion’s newest patent, reverse weave, is the first one
in over 50 years for the gamer collection. The features include an
oversized hood that can be worn over headsets of all sizes, the narrowed
sleeves will stay up when pushed onto the forearm and the pockets are lined
with ultra-warm microfleece to keep hands warm in between games.

The hoodie comes with zipped pockets to stow a console controller or
phone, an internal zip for a credit card and there are interchangeable
velcro patches for personal expression.

David Robertson, global brand marketing director of Champion, said in a
statement: “As a brand that embraces all sports, we wanted to create an
unofficial uniform for gamers that modernises the classic hoodie and
recognises that they are athletes with distinctive needs for their
sport.

“Our reverse weave patents came about as we were trying to solve the
needs of athletes at the time, and we’ve taken the same approach to create
a brand-new design for the gamer lifestyle. We are incredibly excited to
unveil this new line of hoodies and pants for gamers and esports
athletes.

Professional Fortnite player for FaZe Clan, Nate Hill, chimes in on the
new collection: “I’ve always loved hoodies, but this is the first hoodie
I’ve seen that was designed for gamers. It’s unique in a lot of ways from
the oversized hood that you can wear with a headset to the oversized
pockets, large enough to hold my controller.

“I’ve never had a customisable hoodie where you can take off and add
different style patches for different looks. In addition to the unique
features, this hoodie is super comfortable and stylish… I’m of the mind
‘look good play good,’ as a gamer this is a must have hoodie.”

Democratic presidential contenders are facing increasing pressure to detail their plans for filling federal court vacancies amid angst over President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE’s success in packing the benches with conservative judges.

Trump has been able to get his appointees confirmed at a pace that surpasses that of any recent administration. The Senate left town the week before Christmas after confirming 12 more of Trump’s judicial appointees, bringing the total number of lifetime judges appointed in this administration to 187.

For many on the left, the issue of recapturing the courts has become more urgent as those judges make their mark on a host of high-profile issues.

Last week, a three-judge panel on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a key tenet of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act, the mandate requiring everyone to have health insurance, is unconstitutional, setting up a likely fight in the Supreme Court. One of the judges who joined the ruling, Kurt Engelhardt, was appointed by Trump in 2018.

“Because of a Trump-appointed judge who cast the deciding vote in that ruling, health care is at risk for millions of Americans,” Marge Baker, executive vice president at the liberal group People for the American Way, said in a statement on Thursday.

“The next president faces a monumental task in ensuring that the people appointed to our federal bench are fair-minded constitutionalists who understand their role is to uphold rights for all of us, not to serve the agendas of big corporations and far-right special interests,” Baker added.

Those moves gave the Supreme Court a conservative majority in a term with expected rulings on Obama-era programs like the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration policy and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as well as cases involving hot-button issues like gun control, LGBT workplace rights and abortion.

That’s led to worry among liberals who want to hear more from the 2020 primary candidates about the federal bench.

“Our sea levels are rising, our kids are undergoing active shooter drills before they learn to read,” Reid wrote. “And now, this stolen Supreme Court will invent reasons to gut any effort big enough to deal with those problems.

“That must change,” he added. “Any candidate who wants to lead our party needs a plan to make this change happen.”

But that sense of urgency has been absent from the primary race so far. The courts have only been brought up by debate moderators twice this year in brief rounds of questioning. And the candidates have largely left the courts out of their campaign platforms.

During the most recent debate, Sen. Amy KlobucharAmy KlobucharHillicon Valley: Biden calls on Facebook to change political speech rules | Dems demand hearings after Georgia election chaos | Microsoft stops selling facial recognition tech to police Democrats demand Republican leaders examine election challenges after Georgia voting chaos Harris grapples with defund the police movement amid veep talk MORE (D-Minn.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, acknowledged that the next Democratic president would have to be more aggressive at filling out the courts than previous administrations.

“That is one thing that we all learned from when President Obama was in, and that was that he was dealing with an economic crisis and it was hard to do it right away,” Klobuchar said. “But we have to immediately start putting judges on the bench to fill vacancies so that we can reverse the horrific nature of these Trump judges.”

Judicial activist groups on the left see some signs of hope from the Democratic Party. While Senate Democrats have had little success in obstructing Trump’s judicial nominees, it’s been a year since the party has agreed to fast-track any of the judges through unanimous consent packages. 

But for some activists, the progress in making the courts a more substantial issue for Democratic candidates and voters is not enough.

“It is a positive sign that the candidates have now been asked about the courts twice in the past three debates, but the plans they’ve put forward still come up way too short,” Brian Fallon, the executive director of Demand Justice, said in a statement after the debate. “It won’t be enough to simply win the next election and follow the old playbook for appointing judges, as some candidates seem to think. The next Democratic president needs a big, bold plan to rebalance our courts.”

Demand Justice in October released its shortlist of potential Supreme Court picks, part of an effort to encourage candidates to speak more about the issue. The list included a diverse array of activists, judges and scholars, with none of the corporate ties that are characteristic of many high-profile jurists. The group also urged candidates to share their own shortlists, but so far no campaign has done so.

The courts have been a much higher priority for Republicans than Democrats in recent years. Democrats are still outraged that McConnell refused to consider former President Obama’s nominee to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia when he died in 2016. McConnell argued that it would go against precedent for the Senate to confirm a justice ahead of an election.

That seat was left vacant for more than a year until the Senate confirmed Gorsuch, Trump’s first appointee to the court. But Kavanaugh, Trump’s second pick, inspired even more backlash among Democrats given the bitter partisan fight that enveloped his confirmation after he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman when the two were in high school.

Still, it remains to be seen whether capturing the Supreme Court will be a motivating factor for Democratic candidates.

In the meantime, McConnell has promised to continue pushing through confirmations. In a recent radio interview, he said that since the GOP controls both the White House and Senate, confirming another Supreme Court nominee in 2020 if a vacancy were to open up would not violate the principle he espoused four years earlier.

“So yes, we would certainly confirm a new justice if we had that opportunity,” McConnell told the conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt this month. “And we’re going to continue, obviously, to fill the Circuit and district court vacancies as they occur right up until the end of next year.”

Qassem Soleimani was necessary because of an “imminent” threat. 

“Well, it could be true, but I don’t give the benefit of the doubt because he’s lied so much about virtually everything,” Biden told Lester Holt on “NBC Nightly News.” 

The former vice president also said the Trump administration’s strike that resulted in Soleimani’s death “takes us a heck of a lot closer to war.”

But officials have not revealed what intelligence hinted at the “imminent” attack.

Iran has reacted by promising retaliation against the U.S. for the general’s death. Trump responded by saying the U.S. is prepared to hit 52 Iranian sites, symbolizing the 52 hostages taken in the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979.

Soleimani’s death has worsened an already strained relationship with Iran after Trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal and the U.S. imposed sanctions on the country.

Holt’s full interview with Biden is set to air on “NBC Nightly News” on Tuesday evening.

“I love Deval Patrick, he is my former boss, I think the world of him,” Perez said. “He is polling at about 1 percent right now in the national polls.” 

Perez defended the criteria, saying that candidates had to reach “5 percent in four out of 23 polls” leading up to the debate.

“Let me give you a point of reference,” Perez added. “Four years ago, you needed to average 5 percent in the five polls leading up to Iowa. So the bar was much higher in the past.”

“What we said every month was that the closer we got to Iowa we would do what we’ve always done, which is raise the bar,” he said. “And last month we had eight people who made the debate stage, three women two candidates of color and an openly gay candidate. Remarkable diversity.”

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc heads to Spa with a blend of positive and sad memories, a year on from his maiden F1 triumph at the Belgian track and the tragic loss of his friend Anthoine Hubert.

The young French driver lost his life in a horrendous crash that took place in the F2 feature race, and his loss was felt throughout the paddock, by his rivals and many of his friends in F1, including Leclerc.

“The Spa-Francorchamps circuit has a special place in my heart,” said the Monegasque ahead of this week’s Belgian Grand Prix.

“While it is here that I took my first win, it is also where we lost our friend Anthoine last year. It will be difficult to return to this track and he will be in our thoughts all weekend.”

What’s in a boat’s name for Captain Leclerc?

AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly, who shared a flat with Hubert during their days together in the junior formulae, echoed Leclerc’s feelings.

“Spa is my favourite track and racing through all those high-speed corners is a great thrill,” said the Frenchman. “I really enjoy driving it and have had great races there in the past.

“However, this year, returning to Belgium will also be a sad moment, because it is just one year ago that Anthoine lost his life after that terrible accident in the F2 race in Spa.

“I had known him since I was seven years old in karting, we were in the same school together organised by the French motorsport federation, from when I was 13 to 19, and we shared an apartment for six years.

“I think everyone in the paddock will take time to think of him.”

McLaren drivers Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris were certainly thinking about the young Frenchman this week.

“We’ll take the time to remember Anthoine, who sadly passed away there last year,” said Sainz. “He was an exciting young talent that was taken from us too soon, and we’ll always remember him wherever we race, but even more in Spa.”

“This weekend we take the time to remember Anthoine Hubert, who tragically lost his life at Spa last year,” concurred Norris. “The whole racing community was shocked and saddened by what happened, and he’ll be in our thoughts as we go racing again this year.”

The Sanders campaign announced Tuesday it would launch its first ads in Super Tuesday states, spending $2.5 million between California and Texas.

Democratic presidential candidate and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg released a tax plan Saturday that seeks to collect $5 trillion over a decade by increasing taxes on the wealthy. 

In the plan, Bloomberg looks to reverse many of the tax reforms put in place by the Trump administration in 2017. Bloomberg’s plan proposes adding a 5 percent surtax on incomes above $5 million a year and increasing the corporate tax from 21 percent to 28 percent, which is still 7 percentage points less than it was prior to the 2017 tax law.

The plan also proposes to close loopholes and increase funding for the IRS in an effort to shrink the tax gap, which Bloomberg’s advisers say is about $6 trillion to $8 trillion over 10 years.

“Tackling income inequality requires major new investments in education, job training, health care, affordable housing, infrastructure and other areas this president is ignoring or making worse,” Bloomberg said in a statement. “Those investments require new revenue – and a fairer, more progressive tax system that asks wealthy Americans like me to pay more.”

The plan does not, however, include a so-called wealth tax proposed by several of Bloomberg’s more progressive opponents, such as Sens.

Bloomberg is a multibillionaire running a largely self-funded campaign. According to the most recent Federal Election Committee filings, he’s raised $200 million since he announced his candidacy in November — more than any other candidate in the race, including Trump.

It was reported Friday that the Democratic National Committee would drop donor threshold requirements for the upcoming Feb. 17 debate in Las Vegas, opening the door for Bloomberg, who doesn’t take campaign donations, to qualify.
