He was diagnosed with a seizure, brain bleed and a concussion, adding, "The wound on my head wouldn’t stop oozing, so the doctor punched a couple of staples on the laceration and admitted me."
Cramer described "pretty bad headaches" the following day but said the brain bleed had improved.
"Doctors prefer I rest a little longer before returning to DC, so I do not know exactly when that will happen. It will be day to day this week, but I am ready to return quickly if events require it," he wrote.
Included in the senator's post were photos of bloody snow and his head with staples applied to the wound.
FIRST ON FOX: Attorney General Pam Bondi is warning California, Maine and Minnesota to comply with the federal antidiscrimination laws that require them to keep boys out of women’s sports or face legal action, Fox News has learned.
Bondi sent letters to attorneys general in California, Maine and Minnesota Tuesday, first obtained by Fox News.
"This Department of Justice will hold accountable states and state entities that violate federal law," Bondi wrote. "Indeed, we have already begun to do so."
Bondi was referring to the Justice Department’s move to sue Illinois and New York earlier in February for defying federal immigration laws.
"We also stand ready to sue states and state entities that defy federal antidiscrimination laws," Bondi wrote.
President Donald Trump recently directed the DOJ and the Education Department to prioritize enforcement actions against athletic associations that deny girls an equal opportunity to participate in sports and athletic events by requiring them to compete against boys.
Bondi said, though, state athletic associations, including in California, Maine and Minnesota, "have issued defiant statements saying that they would continue requiring girls to compete against boys in sports and athletic events."
In Minnesota, Bondi said Attorney General Keith Ellison "issued a legal opinion asserting that the Minnesota State High School League would be violating state law unless it continues this demeaning, unfair, and dangerous practice."
In California, Bondi said the state "should be on notice," amid the Department of Education’s Title IX investigation into the California Interscholastic Federation.
"If the Department of Education’s investigation shows that the Federation is indeed denying girls an equal opportunity to participate in sports and athletic events by requiring them to compete against boys, the Department of Justice stands ready to take all appropriate action to enforce federal law," Bondi wrote.
Bondi also said "Maine should be on notice," amid the Department of Education’s Title XI investigation into the Maine Department of Education."
"If these or other federal investigations show that the relevant Maine entities are indeed denying girls an equal opportunity to participate in sports and athletic events by requiring them to compete against boys, the Department of Justice stands ready to take all appropriate action to enforce federal law," Bondi wrote, issuing a similar warning to Minnesota and California.
"I hope that it does not come to this," Bondi wrote. "The Department of Justice does not want to have to sue states or state entities, or seek termination of their federal funds."
Bondi said the Justice Department "only want states and state entities to comply with the law."
"And federal law requires giving girls an equal opportunity to participate in sports and athletic events by ensuring that girls need to compete only with other girls, not with boys," Bondi wrote.
Bondi told Fox News that "this Department of Justice will defend women and does not tolerate state officials who ignore federal law."
"We will leverage every legal option necessary to ensure state compliance with federal law and President Trump’s Executive Order protecting women’s sports," she said.
Trump’s recent executive order, order 14201, on this subject says that allowing men and boys to compete in women’s and girls’ sports "is demeaning, unfair, and dangerous to women and girls."
The practice also is illegal under federal law, according to Bondi: It denies women and girls the equal opportunity to participate and excel in competitive sports, in violation of Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972.
Bondi's warning comes after Trump sparred with Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills over transgender women in sports, telling her at the White House recently that she must follow his executive order or "you're not going to get any federal funding."
Trump recently threatened to cut off federal funding to Maine before clashing with Mills at a bipartisan meeting of governors.
"Are you not going to comply with that?" Trump asked Mills.
"I'm complying with state and federal laws," she responded, before Trump said "Well, we are the federal law" and "You better do it, you better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't."
"And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports, so you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding," Trump continued.
"Good, I'll see you in court. I look forward to that," Trump said. "That should be a real easy one. And enjoy your life after governor because I don't think you'll be in elected politics."
"Still think he has that fire and desire to play and, as far as I’m concerned there is no deadline I think we left as he’d be back, and we’re excited to get him back and get him going."
Reid said he spoke to Kelce during the team's exit meetings and gave the tight end some advice.
"At this point, get out of town and relax. That's my motto for these guys. They played a lot of games for a consistent amount of seasons here," Reid said, via The Kansas City Star.
"You get to the end, and you've exhausted yourself mentally and physically... step back and take care of that, then we'll talk."
"But for right now, I think that's what he's doing."
Kelce said he was "kicking every can I can down the road" regarding his decision to retire during his last episode of "New Heights."
Kelce was still productive this season, but his yards (823) and touchdowns (3) in the regular season this year were the lowest he has had in a full season.
The star tight end did say that if he was going to come back, he would not be taking any half-measures.
"I think I owe it to my teammates that if I do come back, it’s going to be something that – it’s a wholehearted decision," Kelce said.
"I’m not half-a--ing it. I’m fully here for them and I think I can play. It’s just whether or not I’m motivated or if it’s the best decision for me as a man, as a human, as a person to take on all that responsibility."
Buffalo Sabres broadcaster Rob Ray had an understandable hot mic moment during Saturday’s game against the New York Rangers after he took a puck to the face between the benches.
The unfortunate incident caught the Sabres' legend by surprise late in the opening period.
Ray was struck right above the eye by a deflected puck, prompting the former longtime NHL enforcer to drop some colorful language during the broadcast.
Players and a team doctor quickly went over to check on Ray, who had a visible gash above his left eye and on the bridge of his nose.
Later in the broadcast, Ray said he received a "couple of little stitches" in the eyebrow area, but he ultimately avoided any major injuries to his eye.
"That’s not normal," he joked about the "golf ball" sized lump on his face.
Ray is no stranger to injury — neither between the benches nor on the ice.
He accumulated 3,207 penalty minutes in his 14 seasons with the Sabres organization, setting a franchise record. His time spent in the box also ranks sixth on the NHL career list.
Ray’s fight style even led the league to introduce a new rule in which players who fought without their jerseys got game misconducts. The former NHL veteran would wear tear-away jerseys, giving him an advantage by essentially freeing his arms during brawls.
As for his time in the broadcast booth, Saturday was not the first time Ray fell victim to a rouge puck.
In a December 2023 game, Ray was again struck — almost identically — with a puck right between the eyes.
In both instances, he returned to action right away. Ray was inducted into the Sabres Hall of Fame last month.
But Musk is not the DOGE administrator or even a DOGE employee.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday refused multiple chances to answer a question that has hung over the White House's DOGE office: Who is in charge?
President Donald Trump's Inauguration Day executive order created a DOGE administrator to lead the rebranded US Digital Service. Under penalty of perjury, a White House official recently declared in a court filing that Elon Musk is not the administrator or a DOGE employee. It remains unclear if there is a DOGE administrator.
Leavitt, amid a back and forth with reporters, seemed to suggest that there is an administrator even if their name is not publicly available. She also said Musk isn't the administrator.
"No, Elon Musk is a special government employee," Leavitt said, when pressed on the world's richest man's status.
"There are career officials at DOGE, there are political appointees at DOGE. I'm not going to reveal the name of that individual from this podium," she said. "I'm happy to follow up and provide that to you. But we have been incredibly transparent about the way DOGE has been working."
Leavitt also said Trump "asked Elon Musk to oversee DOGE."
Business Insider followed up with the White House and a DOGE spokesperson. They did not immediately respond to our questions.
The White House has said Musk is a special government employee, a category of federal workers created to bring officials with expertise into the civil service part-time. Musk is also a senior advisor to the president.
Trump and Musk have blurred the line over the extent of Musk's power. BI previously reported that Musk's job title is "unlisted."
Musk previously hosted a DOGE update with members of Congress on X, the social media platform he also owns. Trump also told reporters he asked Musk what type of people DOGE had hired. During a recent appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Musk wielded a chainsaw on stage. His talk was titled "DOGE update."
During the briefing, Leavitt told reporters that Musk will attend Trump's first cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
"Elon will be in attendance tomorrow just to talk about DOGE's efforts and how all the cabinet secretaries are identifying waste, fraud, and abuse at their respective agencies," Leavitt said.
It's not just journalists asking about the position. On Monday, District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly asked a Justice Department attorney if there was a DOGE administrator.
"I don't know the answer to that," the counsel responded, according to Lawfare.
The Trump executive order dictates that the administrator answers to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. Twenty-one civil service employees who resigned en masse on Tuesday addressed their letter to Wiles.
In a footnote, they wrote that addressed their letter to Wiles because, "No one has been identified internally as the official Administrator or leader of the United States DOGE Service."
We still don’t know if Nintendo will switch to Hall effect joysticks for the Switch 2, but companies like GuliKit have already moved away from them in favor of TMR. The technology has already long been used in hard drives to boost storage capacities. For controllers, it allows for joysticks that draw less power, which can improve battery life while nearly eliminating the risk of joystick drift that plagued the Nintendo Switch and other modern controllers before magnetic Hall effect technology was adopted.
8BitDo is also bringing over the RGB Fire Ring lighting effects first introduced on its smaller-sized Ultimate C wired Xbox controller. As the branding implies, both joysticks feature a ring of color-changing LEDs around their base with several lighting modes that react to button presses (including the triggers) or the direction the joysticks are being pushed.
The Ultimate 2’s triggers still use Hall effect sensors for improved accuracy and reliability, but 8BitDo has introduced a switch that lets you swap their behavior between longer draw triggers ideal for racing games and short pull tactile triggers for quicker responses while playing first-person shooters. And like the budget-minded 8BitDo Ultimate 2c, the Ultimate 2 has an extra pair of customizable shoulder buttons on the back.
The controller connects to 8BitDo’s Ultimate Software V2, which is also available as a mobile app, allowing buttons to be remapped and the sensitivity of joysticks and triggers to be adjusted. The controller has support for motion controls for games that support it, and a charging dock is still included.
Connectivity options include Bluetooth, a wired USB-C connection, or a low-lag 2.4GHz wireless connection using an included USB-C dongle. But like the cheaper Ultimate 2C, 8BitDo has only made its new Ultimate 2 controller compatible with PCs running Windows 10 and later or Android devices running Android 9.0 and newer.
Versions of the new Ultimate 2 compatible with the Xbox, iOS, or Nintendo Switch (and presumably the Switch 2) haven’t been announced yet, but 8BitDo previously released additional versions of the original Ultimate controller with alternate compatibility.
When OpenAI announced Deep Research at start of February, the company promised to bring the tool to Plus users "in about a month," and now it's doing exactly that. Starting today, the feature, which you can use to prompt ChatGPT to create in-depth reports on nearly any subject, is rolling out to Plus, Team, Edu and Enterprise users. Previously, you needed a $200 per month Pro plan to try out Deep Research.
For the time being, Plus users will get 10 Deep Research queries per month included with their plan. For Pro subscribers, OpenAI is increasing the monthly limit to 120, up from 100 previously. Additionally, the company has made a couple of improvements to how the tool works. ChatGPT will now embed images alongside citations to provide "richer insights." The system also has a better understanding of file types, which should translate to better document analysis.
OpenAI
If you want to give the new feature a try, write a prompt as you normally would but then tap the Deep Research icon before sending your request through to OpenAI. Depending on the complexity of question, it can take ChatGPT anywhere between five and 30 minutes to compile an answer. OpenAI has said Deep Research is currently "very compute intensive," so it be a while before Free users get to try the capability out for themselves.
