They’re waging a war on our family and culture....

Qatar has been a controversial choice to host the World Cup, as the country has been accused of several civil and human rights violations, including allegations of harassment against the LGBTQ community. The Middle Eastern country has also placed restrictions deemed “chilling” on media coverage that make it difficult to investigate the country’s treatment of women, LGBTQ citizens and migrant workers. Its prohibition of alcohol in the stadiums has also triggered complaints from many soccer fans....

In a post of Truth Social, Trump accused Tarlov, a co-host of Fox News’ The Five, of having a “grating and unendurable” voice while giving a review of the channel’s daily weekday show. The attacks towards Tarlov, who offers a more liberal and opposing voice on the conservative news network, arrived after she criticized Trump during Thursday’s edition of The Five for keeping classified materials at his Mar-a-Lago resort, and inaccurately claimed the former president is “personally responsible for 30 percent” of the current national debt....

“I want to be very clear,” Trump said in his video, “I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week. Violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country, and no place in our movement.” “Making America great again has always been about defending the rule of law, supporting the men and women of law enforcement and upholding our nation’s most sacred traditions and values. Mob violence goes against everything I believe in, and everything, our movement stands for,” Trump said....

The segment saw co-anchor Colin Jost say that Trump had “lied” about the riot that left several people dead, including a police officer, in a recent interview with Fox News. Trump said his supporters “were not attacking officers but were instead hugging and kissing police,” Jost said. “But I’m not surprised that Donald Trump can’t tell the difference between kissing and assault,” he added. Jost took another jab at Trump when discussing photos that showed Joe Biden had relied on a cheat sheet during his first press conference since becoming president....

“I guess it’s going to be challenged in court, but what isn’t?” Trump told reporters Thursday shortly before signing the order in the Oval Office. “We’re fed up with it.” But tech experts predict the order could have a chilling effect on the future of social media—not just in the United States, but globally. “The world is watching. How we tackle this complex issue matters,” Adrian Shahbazz, a researcher with FreedomHouse, a nonprofit think tank focused on democracy, political freedom and human rights, told Newsweek....

Trump tweeted disparaging comments about Kerr late Friday, one day after Kerr again declined to voice a strong opinion on the dispute between the NBA and the Chinese government. Kerr told reporters Thursday that he will continue to limit his commentary to topics with which he is familiar. The chief executive didn’t like that answer; he tweeted that Kerr “chocked” (sic).

It wasn’t until the final whistle Sunday that Donovan truly let loose. As the final whistle blew, the 32-year-old spread his arms, tilted his head back and looked to the heavens. Seconds later, he disappeared into a swarm of Galaxy teammates mobbing him from the bench. Thus ended the last of Donovan’s 32,520 minutes played in Major League Soccer. With MLS Cup crown No. 6, his remarkable career came to a close....

But it is unlikely those memories that have Donovan so singularly focused on his seventh MLS Cup final, even with retirement looming just one game away. If there is a memory, or experience, that has Donovan attuned to the task of leading the LA Galaxy to a record fifth MLS Cup on Sunday, it is the experience he went through during the one of six MLS Cup finals he didn’t win....
