NFL coaches and players are constantly on camera, even when they're not on the field. Frequent press conferences with the media provide NFL fans with a steady stream of quotes about their favorite teams and players. These quotes can actually be used to make informed decisions about our fantasy teams. These useful quotes can pertain to injury outlooks, player usage, overall offensive tendencies and philosophy, and more. The key is to know which quotes are actionable, and which ones are just fluff that can be ignored. The vast majority of these quotes will be sourced from the interviews that beat reporters conduct with players and coaches throughout the week. The Coachspeak Index (CSI) does a phenomenal job of listening to these interviews and picking out the key nuggets. In this article, we'll be taking a look at quotes (from CSI and other sources) and analyzing their fantasy impact. Some may be more serious than others, but it's all about getting a feel for coaches and players from information that may not show up in the box score. WEEK 13 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/ST | Kickers Fantasy Football Coachspeak Highlights: What are coaches saying about Malik Nabers, Brock Purdy, and more? Brian Daboll comments on Malik Nabers' usage Brian Daboll says he talked with Malik Nabers after his postgame comments yesterday: "He's a very competitive individual. You want to get the ball in his hands and I've got to do a better job of getting the ball in his hands early. He's a smart young guy who's very competitive." pic.twitter.com/jm00NZo1QS Following the Buccaneers' 30-7 rout of the Giants, Malik Nabers had some comments for the media, expressing his frustration about his lack of usage in the first half of the game. When he was asked why he did not see a target in the first half, Nabers replied, " I don't know, talk to Dabs (Daboll) about that." When asked about these comments, Brian Daboll noted Nabers' competitiveness, and how it's his job to get the ball into Nabers' hands. Key Fantasy Takeaway: With the Giants coming in as the No. 32 scoring offense in the league, Nabers essentially needs to command a 30-percent target share every week to be a WR1 option. We'll see what Daboll can do in terms of scheming up targets for Nabers next week, but Nabers' fantasy value has been in freefall as a part of the sinking ship that is the Giants' offense. WEEK 13 FANTASY FOOTBALL WAIVER WIRE ADVICE Full Waiver Wire List | FAAB Recommendations Matt Eberflus is impressed with Caleb Williams' development #Bears HC Matt Eberflus on Caleb Williams: “He’s growing in front of our eyes. And today was really good growth for him, to be able to go out there and execute the way he did” pic.twitter.com/7Xi8uYm6ft After a string of disappointing games through the middle part of the year, Caleb Williams has played some of the best football of his young career in the last two weeks. These two games have been narrow losses, but head coach Matt Eberflus has taken note of his development. Eberflus specifically noted Williams has shown growth in his ability to find space on the field and adjust the velocity of his passes in recent weeks. Key Fantasy Takeaway: Improved play from Caleb Williams has been critical for the fantasy value of Chicago's wide receivers, particularly DJ Moore and Keenan Allen. Both Moore and Allen eclipsed 23 PPR points last Sunday against the Vikings, with both setting season-highs in terms of their fantasy output. If Williams can continue to deliver quality balls to his receivers, they could emerge in the group of players you're comfortable starting every week in fantasy. Sean Payton speaks highly of Devaughn Vele #Broncos head coach Sean Payton on rookie WR Devaughn Vele: “Very quickly we’ve seen his growth. He’s got strong hands in traffic... he reminds me a lot of Marques Coltson.” “In our staff meeting 20 minutes ago I said we gotta continue to find touches for him” pic.twitter.com/m5gzfSVoNg Rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele has been breaking out in recent weeks. In the Broncos' last two games, Vele has combined for 10 receptions and 146 yards on 14 targets. Sean Payton is well aware of his play in these games and was complimentary of Vele in Monday's press conference. He noted Vele's strong hands and even compared him to former Saints' receiver Marques Colston. Key Fantasy Takeaway: Vele has not yet been elevated to a full-time role in the Broncos' offense, but he's drawing targets at a high rate, and now it's clear that it is a priority for this offense to get him the ball. Vele is a strong waiver wire pickup this week in hopes that his role continues to expand and he solidifies himself as the No. 2 option behind Courtland Sutton. Kyle Shanahan provides an update on Brock Purdy #49ers QB Brock Purdy did some light throwing today without issue, according to Kyle Shanahan. He'll rest tomorrow and then see how it feels as the week goes on. The San Francisco 49ers have been rather cagey regarding the status of Brock Purdy's shoulder. There have been conflicting reports regarding his Week 13 availability, but at this point, we simply don't know if he'll play against the Bills. All we know is that Purdy is back on the field throwing in some capacity, and we'll get further updates later this week. Key Fantasy Takeaway: Having Brandon Allen under center was disastrous for the 49ers' offense last week. They posted their lowest yardage and point totals of the year, and George Kittle was the only 49er who delivered meaningful fantasy production. Against a talented Buffalo defense, it could be another week of disappointment for the 49ers' weapons if Allen is at the helm again. Purdy has been crucial to the fantasy success of the players in this offense, and it clearly showed last week while he was sidelined. Injury updates for the Washington backfield Austin Ekeler's tests last night came back 'good', Dan Quinn said. But Ekeler will be in the concussion protocol. So, too, is Andrew Wylie. Brian Robinson is getting treatment for his ankle. Will know more later in the week. By the end of the game last Sunday, Jeremy McNichols was the only healthy running back in Washington. Brian Robinson left with an ankle injury while Austin Ekeler suffered a concussion. Head coach Dan Quinn noted that Ekeler's results were "good", but he's still in concussion protocol. Robinson will undergo treatment for his ankle, and his status for next week seems to be up in the air. Key Fantasy Takeaway: The Commanders' backfield has not had much stability this season. This is Ekeler's second time in concussion protocol, while Robinson has dealt with a litany of lower-body injuries. These injuries make McNichols a priority waiver target this week. There's a very real chance he operates in a featured role against the Titans, which would provide fantasy appeal for teams that lack RB depth.Ranbir Kapoor attended the Red Sea International Film Festival 2024 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Elon Musk’s preschool is the next step in his anti-woke education dreams

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy took part in some light throwing on Monday after missing his first career game because of an injury and the 49ers are hoping he can return this week. Purdy hurt his throwing shoulder during a loss to Seattle on Nov. 17. Purdy underwent two MRIs last week that showed no structural damage. But Purdy he felt discomfort after making a few throws at practice on Thursday and was shut down for the game at Green Bay on Sunday that San Francisco lost 38-10 . Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Purdy made it through the session without pain and will rest on Tuesday and hopefully be able to return to practice on Wednesday as the Niners prepare to play at Buffalo this coming week. “We rested it throughout the weekend hoping that would help,” Shanahan said. “He threw lighter today to see if that rest helps and the rest did help him. So we’ll see again, going through the same things we did last week. We’re going to let him rest all the way up to Wednesday. We’ll see how it feels on Wednesday and then we’ll take the exact same course throughout the week. Hopefully it responds better this week than it did last week with the rest.” Brandon Allen went 17 for 29 for 199 yards with a touchdown, an interception and a lost fumble in his first start since the 2021 season. Allen would play once again if Purdy is unable to go on Sunday at Buffalo. Purdy wasn't the only star player missing for the 49ers on Sunday with defensive end Nick Bosa missing the game with injuries to his left hip and oblique and left tackle Trent Williams out with an ankle injury. “Just waiting to see how they respond,” Shanahan said. “They didn’t respond great last week. That’s why they weren’t able to go. Nick and Trent are both in the same boat. ... We’ll evaluate as this week progresses and hopefully it turns a better corner than it did last week.” In other injury news, linebacker Dre Greenlaw will return to practice this week for the first time since tearing his Achilles tendon in the Super Bowl last season. Greenlaw will likely need at least a couple of weeks of practice before being able to return to play. Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano will be shut down for the rest of the season after his knee injury didn't fully heal. Feliciano's three-week practice window ended Monday and the Niners decided to keep him on injured reserve instead of activating him. Left guard Aaron Banks, defensive tackle Jordan Elliott and receiver Jacob Cowing all remain in concussion protocol to start this week and their status is unknown. Right guard Dominick Puni (shoulder) and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (knee) underwent MRIs on Monday and the team is waiting for results. Cornerback Renardo Green (neck) and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) are day to day. Defensive tackle Kevin Givens is expected to return to practice this week after missing the past four games with a groin injury.

More info During the I'm A Celeb final on Sunday night, eagle-eyed fans spotted a spoiler in an early show preview. Hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly unwittingly gave the game away before the tense trial had concluded. As the finale heated up with the win hanging in the balance, some spectators realised that the introductory clip at the episode's start had inadvertently revealed the outcome. The blunder occurred during a nail-biting moment where Ant and Dec cautioned contestant Danny Jones about potentially disappointing fellow campmates Coleen Rooney and Reverend Richard Coles as he battled with knots. Despite the pressure and a dwindling clock, the task was completed within time, offering a full dinner and a choice drink for each participant. However, astute viewers glimpsed the celebrities with their selected beverages in the teaser, indicating they'd triumphed in the trial, bagging all the stars available. Fans took to social media to express their observations, with one remarking: "Well I assume they get these final stars since we saw all of them with their drinks in the preview clips at the beginning." Soap opera devotees were quick to point out a slip-up involving the beverages during a pivotal Emmerdale scene. One astute fan pointed out, "We all saw them with their drinks in the preview, so they probably should of done this first because it just gave it away they do it.", reports the Mirror . Another chimed in, "Well we saw them toast their drinks in the preview so I assume this trial goes well," while yet another viewer noted, "I wonder if they get their drinks, not like it showed it in the opening titles." The episode took an unexpected turn when Ant and Dec rocked up to deliver some shocking news that left the campmates reeling. Upon hearing the announcement, one contestant admitted they "didn't expect it" and emotions ran high with one star notably shaken by the revelation. The plot thickened as show hosts Ant and Dec stepped into the scene to divulge who would be the next to leave, with these moments kicking off Sunday's gripping finale. It was revealed that fan favourite from Strictly Come Dancing , Oti Mabuse, was out of the running, leaving viewers and campmates stunned as she had been a frontrunner to win. As Oti bid farewell to the camp, Ant and Dec unveiled the final trio of campmates: Coleen, Danny, and Reverend Richard, confirming them as this year’s finalists. The announcement left the three both shocked and elated, with emotions running high—Reverend Richard in disbelief and Coleen moved to tears in the Bush Telegraph. McFly's Danny admitted, "It feels amazing, I didn't expect this at all." On the other hand, Richard expressed his astonishment: "I can't believe I'm one of the final three! I never thought I would make it this far." Overwhelmed with emotion, Coleen stepped out to shed some tears, confessing she was "proud" to have reached the finale, as Sunday's show looms where the winner will be revealed.In Pakistan, women’s rights, harassment and other related issues take centre stage mostly in March, when controversy around the Aurat March splashes across the media. The fact is, almost all working women face harassment at work, during commutes, and elsewhere. This must become a constant discussion to bring about real change. The Home-Based Women Workers Federation (HBWWF) has revealed alarming figures that 85 per cent of women workers in Pakistan experience workplace harassment. The number touches 90 per cent for domestic help. The reality is that our societal norms have entrenched this menace. Values can be changed through awareness and laws. The Workplace Harassment Act of 2010 is a good legislative piece, but without enforcement, it is toothless. Harassment cases, reported to relevant forums, often face judicial delays and social apathy. Harassment is not confined to workplaces. Women face constant harassment in the digital sphere; almost all women face online harassment but only 40 per cent of them report them. Domestic violence against women remains rampant. Physical and sexual abuse remains widespread. These challenges are compounded for women from religious minorities. They are denied inheritance rights despite legal protections. The statistics paint a bleak picture. Women make up 49.4 per cent of the working-age population. Sadly, they account for only 23.5 percent of the labour force, as per the Pakistan Labour Force Survey. Pakistan ranked 143 out of 146 on the Global Gender Gap Index of 2023. Women in Pakistan do not only battle misogynistic attitudes but also fight for democracy, children’s rights, equality, social and judicial justice and better social conditions. Present-day stories of activists like Sammi Baloch and Sorath Lohar show that women have always stood at the forefront of resistance. The demands of Baloch women for the return of their loved ones reflect the heartbreaking struggles of marginalised groups. Lip service, grim data figures and heart-breaking stories may not bring about a visible change. We need to go beyond lip service. What can change the scenario are economic opportunities for women, equal pay and a harassment-free workplace. These are not privileges but rights. Inclusive measures are essential for true political representation. Moreover, the plight of incarcerated women cannot be ignored. Poor prison conditions, lack of legal support, and healthcare access must be urgently addressed. The time for action is long overdue. *

Billie Eilish has been named Apple Music’s Artist of the Year, a historic recognition of her extraordinary impact on the music industry throughout 2024. This achievement marks a milestone for the 21-year-old singer-songwriter, as she becomes the first person to earn Apple Music Artist of the Year honors twice, having previously won the inaugural award in 2019. Billie Eilish’s remarkable year has been highlighted by several notable achievements, including a historic second Academy Award win and two additional GRAMMY Awards for her contribution to the feature-length film Barbie. Her third full-length album, ‘HIT ME HARD AND SOFT’, debuted at No. 1 on Apple Music’s all-genre albums chart in 138 countries worldwide. The album has been praised for its bold and vulnerable sound, with many considering it the best music of her career. Billie Eilish has also made headlines with her performances, including a show-stopping appearance at the closing ceremony of the summer games, where she represented her hometown of Los Angeles. Rachel Newman, Apple Music’s senior director of content and editorial, praised Billie Eilish’s artistry, saying, “From the moment we first heard ‘Ocean Eyes’ nearly a decade ago, we’ve been fans and champions of Billie’s work... It’s always special when a young artist can connect with so many people so quickly.” Billie Eilish expressed her gratitude for the recognition, stating, “Since day one, Apple Music has supported my music and artistry, and I am both honored and humbled to receive this recognition as Artist of the Year this many years into my career.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — One year after the Jan. 6, 2021 , U.S. Capitol attack, Attorney General Merrick Garland said the Justice Department was committed to holding accountable all perpetrators “at any level” for “the assault on our democracy.” That bold declaration won't apply to at least one person: Donald Trump. Special counsel Jack Smith's move on Monday to abandon the federal election interference case against Trump means jurors will likely never decide whether the president-elect is criminally responsible for his attempts to cling to power after losing the 2020 campaign. The decision to walk away from the election charges and the separate classified documents case against Trump marks an abrupt end of the Justice Department’s unprecedented legal effort that once threatened his liberty but appears only to have galvanized his supporters. The abandonment of the cases accusing Trump of endangering American democracy and national security does away with the most serious legal threats he was facing as he returns to the White House. It was the culmination of a monthslong defense effort to delay the proceedings at every step and use the criminal allegations to Trump's political advantage, putting the final word in the hands of voters instead of jurors. “We always knew that the rich and powerful had an advantage, but I don’t think we would have ever believed that somebody could walk away from everything,” said Stephen Saltzburg, a George Washington University law professor and former Justice Department official. “If there ever was a Teflon defendant, that’s Donald Trump.” While prosecutors left the door open to the possibility that federal charges could be re-filed against Trump after he leaves office, that seems unlikely. Meanwhile, Trump's presidential victory has thrown into question the future of the two state criminal cases against him in New York and Georgia. Trump was supposed to be sentenced on Tuesday after his conviction on 34 felony counts in his New York hush money case , but it's possible the sentencing could be delayed until after Trump leaves office, and the defense is pushing to dismiss the case altogether. Smith's team stressed that their decision to abandon the federal cases was not a reflection of the merit of the charges, but an acknowledgement that they could not move forward under longstanding Justice Department policy that says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. Trump's presidential victory set “at odds two fundamental and compelling national interests: On the one hand, the Constitution’s requirement that the President must not be unduly encumbered in fulfilling his weighty responsibilities . . . and on the other hand, the Nation’s commitment to the rule of law,” prosecutors wrote in court papers. The move just weeks after Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris underscores the immense personal stake Trump had in the campaign in which he turned his legal woes into a political rallying cry. Trump accused prosecutors of bringing the charges in a bid to keep him out of the White House, and he promised revenge on his perceived enemies if he won a second term. “If Donald J. Trump had lost an election, he may very well have spent the rest of his life in prison,” Vice President-elect JD Vance, wrote in a social media post on Monday. “These prosecutions were always political. Now it’s time to ensure what happened to President Trump never happens in this country again.” After the Jan. 6 attack by Trump supporters that left more than 100 police officers injured, Republican leader Mitch McConnell and several other Republicans who voted to acquit Trump during his Senate impeachment trial said it was up to the justice system to hold Trump accountable. The Jan. 6 case brought last year in Washington alleged an increasingly desperate criminal conspiracy to subvert the will of voters after Trump's 2020 loss, accusing Trump of using the angry mob of supporters that attacked the Capitol as “a tool” in his campaign to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence and obstruct the certification of Democrat Joe Biden's victory. Hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters — many of whom have said they felt called to Washington by Trump — have pleaded guilty or been convicted by juries of federal charges at the same courthouse where Trump was supposed to stand trial last year. As the trial date neared, officials at the courthouse that sits within view of the Capitol were busy making plans for the crush of reporters expected to cover the historic case. But Trump's argument that he enjoyed absolute immunity from prosecution quickly tied up the case in appeals all the way up to the Supreme Court. The high court ruled in July that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution , and sent the case back to the trial court to decide which allegations could move forward. But the case was dismissed before the trial court could got a chance to do so. The other indictment brought in Florida accused Trump of improperly storing at his Mar-a-Lago estate sensitive documents on nuclear capabilities, enlisting aides and lawyers to help him hide records demanded by investigators and cavalierly showing off a Pentagon “plan of attack” and classified map. But U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case in July it on grounds that Smith was illegally appointed . Smith appealed to the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but abandoned that appeal on Monday. Smith's team said it would continue its fight in the appeals court to revive charges against Trump's two co-defendants because “no principle of temporary immunity applies to them.” In New York, jurors spent weeks last spring hearing evidence in a state case alleging a Trump scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex. New York prosecutors recently expressed openness to delaying sentencing until after Trump's second term, while Trump's lawyers are fighting to have the conviction dismissed altogether. In Georgia, a trial while Trump is in office seems unlikely in a state case charging him and more than a dozen others with conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. The case has been on hold since an appeals court agreed to review whether to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she had hired to lead the case. Associated Press reporter Lisa Mascaro in Washington contributed.WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump said he can't guarantee that his promised tariffs on key U.S. foreign trade partners won't raise prices for American consumers and he suggested once more that some political rivals and federal officials who pursued legal cases against him should be imprisoned. The president-elect, in a wide-ranging interview with NBC's “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday, also touched on monetary policy, immigration, abortion and health care, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere. Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning “things do change.” A look at some of the issues covered: Trump has threatened broad trade penalties, but said he didn’t believe economists' predictions that added costs on those imported goods for American companies would lead to higher domestic prices for consumers. He stopped short of a pledge that U.S. an households won't be paying more as they shop. “I can’t guarantee anything. I can’t guarantee tomorrow,” Trump said, seeming to open the door to accepting the reality of how import levies typically work as goods reach the retail market. That's a different approach from Trump's typical speeches throughout the 2024 campaign, when he framed his election as a sure way to curb inflation. In the interview, Trump defended tariffs generally, saying that tariffs are "going to make us rich.” He has pledged that, on his first day in office in January, he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada unless those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States. He also has threatened tariffs on China to help force that country to crack down on fentanyl production. ”All I want to do is I want to have a level, fast, but fair playing field,” Trump said. He offered conflicting statements on how he would approach the justice system after winning election despite being convicted of 34 felonies in a New York state court and being indicted in other cases for his handling of national security secrets and efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden. “Honestly, they should go to jail,” Trump said of members of Congress who investigated the Capitol riot by his supporters who wanted him to remain in power. The president-elect underscored his contention that he can use the justice system against others, including special prosecutor Jack Smith, who led the case on Trump’s role in the siege on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump confirmed his plan to pardon supporters who were convicted for their roles in the riot, saying he would take that action on his first day in office. As for the idea of revenge driving potential prosecutions, Trump said: “I have the absolute right. I’m the chief law enforcement officer, you do know that. I’m the president. But I’m not interested in that." At the same time, Trump singled out lawmakers on a special House committee who had investigated the insurrection, citing Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo. “Cheney was behind it ... so was Bennie Thompson and everybody on that committee,” Trump said. Asked specifically whether he would direct his administration to pursue cases, he said, “No,” and suggested he did not expect the FBI to quickly undertake investigations into his political enemies. But at another point, Trump said he would leave the matter up to Pam Bondi, his pick as attorney general. “I want her to do what she wants to do,” he said. Such threats, regardless of Trump's inconsistencies, have been taken seriously enough by many top Democrats that Biden is considering issuing blanket, preemptive pardons to protect key members of his outgoing administration. Trump did seemingly back off his campaign rhetoric calling for Biden to be investigated, saying, “I’m not looking to go back into the past.” Trump repeatedly mentioned his promises to seal the U.S.-Mexico border and deport millions of people who are in the U.S. illegally through a mass deportation program. “I think you have to do it,” he said. He suggested he would try to use executive action to end “birthright” citizenship under which people born in the U.S. are considered citizens — although such protections are spelled out in the Constitution. Asked specifically about the future for people who were brought into the country illegally as children and have been shielded from deportation in recent years, Trump said, “I want to work something out,” indicating he might seek a solution with Congress. But Trump also said he does not “want to be breaking up families” of mixed legal status, “so the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.” Long a critic of NATO members for not spending more on their own defense, Trump said he “absolutely” would remain in the alliance “if they pay their bills.” Pressed on whether he would withdraw if he were dissatisfied with allies’ commitments, Trump said he wants the U.S. treated “fairly” on trade and defense. He waffled on a NATO priority of containing Russia and President Vladimir Putin. Trump suggested Ukraine should prepare for less U.S. aid in its defense against Putin’s invasion. “Possibly. Yeah, probably. Sure,” Trump said of reducing Ukraine assistance from Washington. Separately, Trump has called for an immediate cease-fire . Asked about Putin, Trump said initially that he has not talked to the Russian leader since Election Day last month, but then hedged: “I haven’t spoken to him recently.” Trump said when pressed, adding that he did not want to “impede the negotiation.” The president-elect said he has no intention, at least for now, of asking Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to step down before Powell's term ends in 2028. Trump said during the campaign that presidents should have more say in Fed policy , including interest rates. Trump did not offer any job assurances for FBI Director Christopher Wray, whose term is to end in 2027. Asked about Wray, Trump said: “Well, I mean, it would sort of seem pretty obvious” that if the Senate confirms Kash Patel as Trump's pick for FBI chief, then “he’s going to be taking somebody’s place, right? Somebody is the man that you’re talking about.” Trump promised that the government efficiency effort led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will not threaten Social Security. “We're not touching Social Security, other than we make it more efficient,” he said. He added that “we're not raising ages or any of that stuff.” He was not so specific about abortion or his long-promised overhaul of the Affordable Care Act. On abortion, Trump continued his inconsistencies and said he would “probably” not move to restrict access to the abortion pills that now account for a majority of pregnancy terminations, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. But pressed on whether he would commit to that position, Trump replied, “Well, I commit. I mean, are -- things do -- things change. I think they change.” Reprising a line from his Sept. 10 debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump again said he had “concepts” of a plan to substitute for the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which he called “lousy health care.” He added a promise that any Trump version would maintain insurance protections for Americans with preexisting health conditions. He did not explain how such a design would be different from the status quo or how he could deliver on his desire for “better healthcare for less money.” Barrow reported from Atlanta.
