‘Give me one minute with that bastard.’
The father of three daughters sexually assaulted by disgraced gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar rushed Nassar during sentencing this morning.
‘Weasels and liars.’ Fired FBI Director James Comey has taken to Twitter to condemn those attacking the FBI for investigating potential ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
■ Trump’s morning tweets included this: “The FBI and the Justice Department have politicized the sacred investigative process.”
‘The best city in the world right now.’ The British media company TimeOut surveyed 15,000 people in 32 cities around the globe about food, drink, culture, friendliness, affordability, happiness and livability. Guess who has two baseball teams and came out No. 1?

■ Beth Austin in 2016: Bring on the Alma Mater halftime show!
Without immigration … Neil Steinberg says, the U.S. “would be Japan, where 400 grade schools close every year, some immediately becoming nursing homes, and the nation’s population is expected to slide by nearly a third over the next 50 years.”
■ A food scientist deconstructs America’s World War II shame: “Japanese internment was initiated by the California farm lobby.”
■ The Atlantic: How immigration became so controversial.
Super bowl of cannabis. Marijuana shops across the country are anticipating one of the biggest weekends in their (short) legal history.
■ To Alex Trebek’s Saturday Night Live-satire-worthy consternation, three Jeopardy! contestants flunked five straight questions in yesterday’s “Talkin’ Football” category.
‘A hot mess.’ CNN examines discord at the Chicago Tribune’s sibling paper, The Los Angeles Times.
