'Dancing with the Stars': Unexpected ending on emotion-filled 'Dedication Night' stuns ballroom

FOXBOROUGH — After the Patriots hung on to beat the Jets, let’s take a look at who’s up, who’s down, and whom to watch against the Bears in Week 7. Quarterback Drake Maye: Sunday wasn’t the offense’s best day, but Maye turned in a clean sheet with no turnovers and three touchdown passes. His completion percentage (56.3) was lower than average, but that was impacted by A. J. Brown’s multiple drops on catchable balls. Maye’s early-season woes appear to be behind him. According to Next Gen Stats, he now leads the NFL in deep passing yards this season with 439. That stat is encouraging, as Maye’s ability to convert deep downfield was one of his defining qualities last season. Running back Corey Kiner: Kiner took advantage of his opportunities at the end of the fourth quarter, allowing the Patriots to run out the clock and forcing the Jets to burn all three of their timeouts. On New England’s final drive, Kiner took almost four minutes off the clock with eight consecutive carries for 42 yards. He also showed some pop as a kickoff returner. It will be worth watching whether Kiner’s production will lead to more opportunities on Thursday.

Angela Saini is a science journalist and author. Her fifth book, “Other: Race, Sex, and the Hidden Harms of Human Categories,” will be published in January. The Trump administration is looking to remove race and ethnicity questions from the next US census in 2030. For more than 50 years, these categories have served to further equality, protecting voters’ rights and overseeing affirmative action policies, including government set-asides for business owners of color. It stands to reason that this administration would place the census in its crosshairs. The proposal may be sold to the public as working toward the lofty goal of racial color-blindness. Surely, conservative campaigners argue, a truly fair nation wouldn’t need to catalog people by race at all? This was precisely the justification used by Chief Justice John Roberts when, three years ago, the Supreme Court struck down race-conscious university admissions. But if color-blindness is the Trump administration’s true aim here, how to explain its simultaneous demand that universities provide race data on incoming students to monitor the rates of people of color they admit?

“Sadie’s family had three siblings, and I coached all of them,” Beaton said, recalling Clarkin’s older sisters, Lily and Zoe. “There is always that one kid where you say, ‘Oh gosh, I can’t not coach them in their senior year.’ ” So for Sadie Clarkin and the rest of the seniors, Beaton let that annual thought to leave the sidelines dissipate. She’s glad she did. On Saturday, Sandwich did something they had not done in Beaton’s tenure, which dates back to 1999: beat three-time defending Division 1 champion Walpole, which it did 3-0.

Nevertheless, with gas well over $4 a gallon and the president’s approval rating at an astonishing 30 percent in one new poll, change appears likely. Democrats need a playbook. A euphoric party will face immediate challenges. There will be calls from the base for action, accountability, and even impeachment. Frustrated voters who gave Democrats another chance will want to see pocketbook issues improve. Yet Democrats will almost certainly lack the votes to override President Trump’s vetoes of bills seeking to end the Iran war and roll back tariffs, two of the main drivers of the inflation and growing economic pessimism that have placed the GOP in this dire position. Democrats have run against the price of gas, but won’t have the power to ease pain at the pump themselves. If Democrats aren’t careful, voters might wheel on them next. One thing is certain: Impeachment is not the answer. Many members of Trump’s inner circle, notably Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and FBI director Kash Patel, could warrant removal. But any focus on impeachment misreads why the electorate has turned on the president and squanders enormous time and resources.
