John Kerry delivered a rousing commencement speech at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government Wednesday, telling graduates there’s “nothing normal” about the Trump administration and “nothing American about it either.”
It’s not normal to see a president of the United States decrying “so-called judges.” It’s not normal for the leader of the country that invented the first amendment to routinely degrade and even threaten journalists. And no it’s not normal to see the head of the FBI fired summarily because he was investigating connections between Russia and the presidential campaign of the very man who fired him. And it’s not normal that when you close your eyes and you listen to the news, too often the political back-and-forth in America, sounds too much like it does in the kinds of countries that the State Department warns Americans not to travel to.
Still, the 2004 presidential candidate insisted graduates take the long view. The world has decided to move forward on issues like climate change, he said, even if America’s leadership lags behind.
“I believe the world has already made a different bet ― a bet on science, a bet on reality, and a bet that we have to move forward with or without America’s political leaders,” Kerry said.
He went on to discuss the deadly terrorist attack in Manchester, England, and how the world’s governments can only fight extremists by working together.

Teams have made their big splashes in free agency and made their draft picks, it's time for you to do the same. It's fantasy football mock draft time. Some call this time of year best ball season, others know it's an opportunity to get a leg up on your competition for when you have to draft in August. The staff at Yahoo Fantasy did their first mock draft of the 2024 season to help you with the latter. Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens are here to break it all down by each round and crush some staff members in the process.
It’s key to note that we’re not saying the “best team” or “best roster.” Instead, we’re talking about the best confluence of factors that can outline a path for survival and then success.
With free agency and the draft behind us, what 32 teams look like today will likely be what they look like Week 1 and beyond for the 2024 season. Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski reveal the post-draft fantasy power rankings. The duo break down the rankings in six tiers: Elite offensive ecosystems, teams on the cusp of being complete mixed bag ecosystems, offensive ecosystems with something to prove, offenses that could go either way, and offenses that are best to stay away from in fantasy.
