Photo: Evan Vucci/AP President Biden — in rare and blunt criticism today — called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to embrace a two-state solution, Axios' Barak Ravid writes. Why it matters: The open criticism is a shift for the president and signals growing disagreement about what happens after the war in Gaza ends. Biden warned that Israel is losing international support over the war and needs to change its policies. "I think he has to change. ...

Ohtani's goal: Allow the Dodgers to compete for the World Series while he's there.  He never made the playoffs in six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels.

Why it matters: Tommy DeVito — aka "Tommy Cutlets" (seriously)— has embraced his heritage almost to the point of parody. Tailgating family and friends downed cutlets and baked ziti before the Giants' win over the Packers yesterday. DeVito lives in his childhood home about 11 miles from MetLife Stadium.
