Hundreds of Trump supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol a little over 15 months ago in an apparent effort to disrupt the formal certification of President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory in a joint-session of Congress. Their attack came directly after Trump told them at a nearby Washington, D.C. rally to walk to the Capitol and “fight like hell” to save their country, following months of lying about the 2020 election results....

The communications consultant and political commentator criticized Trump’s actions since Election Day during an interview with Fox News’ Howard Kurtz, as the sitting president continued to advance his campaign’s unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud and misconduct skewing the outcome of November’s contest. Luntz suggested that Trump’s focus on baseless fraud allegations works to the public’s detriment and disadvantages Republican congressional candidates still campaigning ahead of Georgia’s runoff elections next week....

The Trump campaign and other Republican litigants had lost or withdrawn 50 lawsuits seeking to dispute the election results as of Tuesday. They have prevailed in just one case that appears to have affected only a small number of mail-in ballots. A suit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asking the Supreme Court to instruct state legislatures in four states President-elect Joe Biden won to overturn the results also seems doomed to fail, based on criticism from legal experts....

After days of talks, meetings and rare media appearances at the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani made his final U.S. appearance at a press conference Thursday. He suggested there could be discussions to change the 2015 multilateral agreement—officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPCOA)⁠—that was abandoned last year by Trump, who called it “the worst deal ever” and went on to impose tight restrictions against the Islamic Republic’s economy....

Trump retweeted an article that was shared by syndicated radio host and Fox News personality Mark Levin. The story described how Biden spoke to reporters about Romney without naming him, but instead referred to his religion. Biden was asked whether Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s faith had any role to play in her confirmation hearings. In answering, he cited Romney, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sometimes called Mormons....

The photo shows the president’s head Photoshopped onto the body of the fictional boxer, portrayed by actor Sylvester Stallone in the “Rocky” movie series. While the president did not include any words with the photo, it appeared to be in response to recent comments he made about his unannounced visit to Walter Reed Medical Center last weekend. During a campaign rally in Florida Tuesday night, Trump said the doctors praised his physique during his exam and asked him to show his “gorgeous chest....

A copy of the president’s schedule released to the press this morning shows that Trump had nothing planned until 11:40 a.m. when he was due to leave the White House for Joint Base Andrews in Maryland and take a flight to South Carolina. President Trump has also not been pictured in a livestream of Cummings’ Baltimore funeral that was available on C-Span from 10 a.m. ET. Newsweek has contacted the White House asking why Trump was not in attendance at the funeral or at the previous day’s lying-in-state ceremony for Cummings at the Capitol, but did not receive a response by time of publication....

And his face will be front and center at T-Mobile Arena, says UFC president Dana White. HALE: The ‘old’ McGregor is back, but what does that mean? White told TMZ that Trump will be sitting with him Octagon-side. Trump’s polarizing nature would seem to dictate that he stay out of the fray. White knows better. “He don’t care,” White said of his longtime friend. “He’s not that guy. He’s not hiding in a box somewhere....

In an interview with Trump ally Steve Bannon, the North Carolina Republican described the challenge facing his candidacy in this year’s midterms, as he faces scrutiny over his actions on the day of the U.S. Capitol riots. A team of lawyers has invoked Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which bars from public office anyone who has taken the oath to support the country’s founding document and then “engaged in insurrection....

Such was the path of Christian Pulisic, who quickly became one of the hottest properties in football after an impressive stretch of play at Dortmund. Now it looks as though fellow U.S. international Giovanni Reyna could be following a similar trajectory.

This probably has to do with the midgame momentum-oriented tournament meta. Mars combos well with ganking heroes like Puck, Snapfire, Phoenix, and Apparition because he can hold multiple opponents in one place. But even other than that, Mars in Dota 2 7.29 is an extremely flexible offlaner. So much so that he is only countered by some specific escape heroes. Which Dota 2 heroes are good against Mars? Mars can be picked against almost any enemy lineup, except for heroes that can get out of his Arena easily....

The grappling star defeated Rampage in a classic battle many fans are calling a ‘match of the year candidate’ in the final episode of WOS Wrestling on ITV. Then just a few hours later the 33-year-old from Gloucester beat ‘The Showstealer’ Nathan Cruz to capture the NGW Undisputed Championship in front of a raucous crowd at Hull City Hall.

Keane was named in Martin O’Neill’s final 23-man squad for the tournament in France, despite sustaining a calf strain during training ahead of Ireland’s final warm-up friendly against Belarus.

In the first hour following the 8 p.m. curfew, officers closely followed demonstrators who continued to march chanting protest slogans in action sparked by the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Some demonstrators flouted the curfew and tried to cross the Manhattan Bridge from Brooklyn, before turning back peacefully. While many did face off with police, there were fewer violent confrontations between officers and protesters. Around 9.30 p.m. officers charged into a group of protesters....

Musk took the shot at Trump in a tweet Monday in a sign of deteriorating relations between the two famously mercurial figures. The exchange comes as Musk is seeking to pull the plug on his bid to take over Twitter and as Trump aims to boost his own Truth Social network as an alternative to existing social media platforms. “I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,” Musk, who serves as head of both spacecraft manufacturer SpaceX and electric car maker Tesla, said on Twitter....

Trump was meeting with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Friday in the Oval Office when he discussed the whistleblower’s allegations with reporters. The president called the entire situation a “political hack job” and a “ridiculous story.” “It’s a partisan whistleblower,” Trump claimed. “They shouldn’t even have information. I’ve had conversations with many leaders. They’re always appropriate.” The president then added that “I don’t know the identity of the whistleblower....

In his latest interview to promote his new memoirs, One Damn Thing After Another, Barr was asked by Fox News’ Special Report host Bret Baier what was the most “unsettling” moment he witnessed under the Trump Administration.
