They are not indignant enough to, say, raise corporate taxes. (Indeed, they are currently fighting against any increase at all in the corporate rate.) But they are shaking their fists angrily in the direction of “woke” corporate America. Yesterday, Senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Josh Hawley proposed to end Major League Baseball’s 99-year-old antitrust exemption. Cruz described their measure as merely one blow against a larger threat Cruz called “the Woke Corporation.” It’s easy to understand why Republicans feel betrayed and disrespected by the spectacle of large corporations opposing what is, at the moment, their party’s central objective. What’s difficult to understand is the philosophical basis for their position. Corporations are speaking out against voting restrictions for a combination of ethical … [Read more...] about Republican Senators Make Goonish Threat Against Major League Baseball

BOSTON (CBS) — It sounds like Thursday will be Tuukka Time for the Bruins. Following Wednesday’s practice, Boston head coach Bruce Cassidy said that he is expecting to have Tuukka Rask in net for Thursday night’s game against the New York Islanders. But we’ve heard this a few times over the last week-plus, so Cassidy was quick to add the caveat that Rask would return “assuming no setbacks.” READ MORE: ESPN's Sal Paolantonio Will Vote For Julian Edelman For Hall Of Fame It has been over a month since Boston’s top goaltender played in a full game back on March 7.

As the flu season gets underway in Colorado, a state health official is warning that it is especially important for people this year to get the flu vaccine — because the specific flu strain seen most so far is especially nasty. The first statewide flu report , released Wednesday by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, shows that six people have been hospitalized for influenza since Oct. 1, the official start of flu season. About 20 people have been hospitalized since August. Both numbers are higher than average for this time of year, state epidemiologist Dr. Rachel Herlihy said, adding that such numbers could signal a wicked flu season. “But influenza is unpredictable,” Herlihy said. “It could be an indicator that it is going to be a more severe season. But it could change.” Upping the concern, though, is that many of the cases seen so far this year are from the H3N2 strain of the virus. “That is the strain more typically associated with more severe … [Read more...] about Colorado flu season off to a busy start, but docs say this year’s vaccine is a good match for strains going around

AstraZeneca said Wednesday night that their coronavirus vaccine was 76% effective against symptomatic COVID-19 cases after U.S. health agencies accused the company of calculating its previously reported rate using “outdated” and “incomplete” data. The drug maker said two days earlier that its vaccine’s Phase III trials showed it being 79% effective against the virus, but hours later the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said that it had possibly relied on “outdated information” in reaching its conclusion. (RELATED: AstraZeneca Cherry-Picked Data, Health Agency Alleges) In response to the agency’s concerns, AstraZeneca said its data extended through Feb. 17, and vowed to quickly provide more up-to-date information.
