Ahead of congressional hearings on the company this week, Facebook employee-turned-whistleblower Frances Haugen leaked internal company documents appearing to show the world’s biggest social media platform prioritized profits over the public good—at the expense of everything from democratic stability and civil discourse to the mental health of teenagers. Haugen, hired in 2019 to address misinformation circulating on Facebook, shared the documents with The Wall Street Journal, which published a series of articles about them last month....
Morse, who was born in Fort Lauderdale and went to high school in Davie, Fla., is going home to play his best defensive position, or at least the best defensive position available to him in a league that does not feature the designated hitter: first base. He is slightly below average there, but not bad for a right-handed fielder. MORE: Vote! Should these numbers be retired? | Worst offseason trades...

Tom Crean and Buzz Williams worked out pretty well, so Marquette feels comfortable in turning over its head coaching job to Duke assistant Steve Wojciechowski.

Respect as one of the league’s premier players has been much tougher to come by. That is how New York Red Bulls coach Jesse Marsch sees things when it comes to his star striker, who has started the 2018 season in outstanding form, continuing that red-hot form with two goals in Saturday’s 3-0 romp over Minnesota United. The brace pushed Wright-Phillips’ totals to a whopping six goals and four assists in eight matches in all competitions in 2018....

But on Sunday, Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch wasn’t dangerous. He disappeared. And somehow, that seemed more ominous. It seemed, all at once, like the end of an era and a continuation of a recurring character. A character who doesn’t have to speak to make a statement. As it did during the season, Lynch’s body betrayed the truth Sunday. This one hurt. And the comeback, it likely isn’t coming.
