But will the new coin be a hit with consumers? The mint plans to make at least 100 million Golden Dollars this year, and director Philip Diehl believes that all of them will find their way into people’s pockets, in part because of a new craze for coin collecting. Along with high expectations, the new dollar comes with a new face–Sacagawea, the young Shoshone interpreter who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their expedition, bearing her infant son on her back....

Healthline defines “deadnaming” as “when someone, intentionally or not, refers to a person who’s transgender by the name they used before they transitioned....

Calls from an ambitious politician to raise money from wealthy financial executives are hardly unusual. But Spitzer is no ordinary politician. He’s made himself the de facto regulator of the nation’s markets, prosecuting cases that showed how Wall Street put its own interests ahead of the small investors it was supposed to serve. Spitzer’s campaign-finance records, however, raise new questions about conflicts of interest for him. If he takes money from people in industries he’s investigating, is there a chance it might color his decisions on whom to prosecute?...

Bush says that if Congress swallows his entire tossed salad of measures, which Congress won’t, the economy will grow 2.2 percent this year. Such paltry progress is not a tide that will raise many ships. Indeed, sinkings will increase. The administration expects the average number of people on food stamps each month in fiscal 1993 to increase 1.6 million to 25.8 million. In a remarkable three weeks, Bush made the worst foreign trip in the history of presidential travel (the “bashing on his knees” debacle in Japan) and his mea culpa grovel in New Hampshire....

Then, on Nov. 18–two days before his scheduled sentencing–he fled house arrest by cutting off his electronic-monitoring “ball and chain,” a wrist bracelet wired to police headquarters....

The AFC North grudge match featured not one but two players being stretchered off the field. During ESPN’s telecast, Gruden said Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster’s illegal crackback block against the Bengals’ Vontaze Burfict was “sickening.” Smith-Schuster, who then crowed over the fallen Burfict, should have been thrown out of the game, Gruden added. MORE Ryan Shazier injury update McDonough, the play-by-play announcer, was disgusted by what he called an “ugly” night for a league suffering from declining TV numbers and fan interest: “I think the players need to think, Jon, about what they’re doing to each other, what they’re doing to themselves, what they’re doing to the image of the league and fan interest....

"No charges will be filed against Winston in this case," said Meggs, who added that the timing of the decision had nothing to do with "Heisman demands or football schedule." “I know there was a sexual event that occurred. One party said it was consensual. The other party said it wasn’t,” Meggs said. “Did not feel we had sufficient evidence to go forward to trial to prove it was not consensual....
