Orders, memorandums and proclamations: What's the difference, and what to know

Donald Trump's presidency began just as he promised.

Just hours after being sworn into office for the second time, the 47th commander in chief issued a flurry of executive orders on topics ranging from a crackdown on immigration to the United States' withdrawal from the World Health Organization and a temporary revival of TikTok.

Trump also used his executive power to rescind 78 executive orders signed by Joe Biden over the last four years.
But not all of his first-day actions held the same po...

Since the start of the season, there’s been no let up for Joseph Case’s championship-driven softball team - The Boston Globe

“When you know your coach believes in you, and when you know your coach has confidence in you, it’s definitely an important thing.”

“From the first practice, [coach Shannon Silva ] made it very, very clear she is expecting nothing less than she expected last year, this team is still just as good,” said Skye Dupre , a junior captain.

The message was clear from Day 1 of the preseason for the Joseph Case softball team: this is not a rebuild.

NFL Draft: How top-3 QB picks have fared in their rookie seasons

The New England Patriots are, in a word, unstable at the quarterback position.

Mac Jones’ predictable departure and Bailey Zappe’s unreliable play left the Patriots without a long-term answer at QB. Signing free agent Jacoby Brissett, known for his dependable backup status, didn’t settle the matter.
