Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych was banned from using a helmet at the 2026 Olympics that depicted fallen Ukrainian athletes. At the same time, an Italian snowboarder competed wearing a helmet with the Russian flag - which is prohibited and "there was no reaction to this."

6 years ago today Donald Trump fired me from the White House for reporting his corruption.
Now I’m running against MAGA loyalist Ashley Moody, and Donald Trump is going to come at me with everything he’s got.
