He tweets @DVKirichenko.Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has forged a new sense of nationalism, signaling a remarkable change in the “memory wars” that have long been fought in the country.Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian cities have alienated even those who previously supported closer ties with Moscow.

In a season of bad losses, add one more to the Miami Heat’s ledger.A particularly painful loss.Both emotionally.And in the standings.Recovering from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime on a twisting Jimmy Butler 3-pointer at the regulation buzzer, the Heat nonetheless found a way to lose Saturday night to a team that entered the night 27-40.Perhaps fittingly, it ended with Butler walking off the court before the 126-114 overtime loss to the Orlando Magic at Amway Center was over, with the Heat assessed a technical foul for only having four players on the court.Butler seemingly could not have done more on his 38-point night, matching his regular-season high as a member of the Heat.Butler’s teammates could not do nearly enough otherwise, no other Heat player scoring more than 14.“Usually you’d have that kind of effort and that kind of performance,” coach Erik Spoelstra said, “your team, you find a way to figure it out and get a win. ...

And his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know history will hold Donald Trump accountable.”Pence’s remarks were the sharpest condemnation yet from the once-loyal lieutenant who has often shied away from confronting his former boss. Trump has already declared his candidacy. Pence has not, but he’s been laying the groundwork to run.In the days leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, Trump pressured Pence to overturn President Joe Biden’s election ...
