Hi there 🤖 👋

McGregor is fighting Donald Cerrone this Saturday at Welterweight and looks pretty jacked heading into the bout. If he gets through Cerrone, the Irishman may very well consider going on a run for the unprecedented third title in the promotion, having already won the featherweight and lightweight titles previously. Unsurprisingly, McGregor was asked about the possibility of embarking on the quest for the welterweight title as well as a mega-showdown against the ‘BMF’ title holder Jorge Masvidal....

These should be the fat days for Rostenkowski. The ward boss’s son from Chicago’s Northwest Side was at the pinnacle of power last week. For the first time in 12 years, he was writing tax policy for a Democratic president. He pushed Bill Clinton’s $246 billion package of proposed increases through his House Ways and Means Committee largely intact but in vintage Rosty fashion: behind closed doors and with breaks for selected industries sprinkled here and there....

The move to prohibit HUD from accessing part of its funding is an effort by lawmakers to force the department to begin allowing the island nation access to roughly $10 billion, aid that had been appropriated by Congress after the area was hit by devastating storms. HUD unliterally delayed that money for 3.5 months. Lawmakers, specifically House Democrats, threatened earlier this month to partially defund HUD over its decision to circumvent Congress and illegally delay the aid intended for large mitigation projects and electrical grid modernization that would better prepare Puerto Rico for future natural disasters....

Speaking to MMA Fighting’s Euro Bash podcast with Peter Carroll, his long-time coach John Kavanagh urged people not to believe everything that is there on social media and see it for themselves, whether McGregor still has his Irish support or not. John Kavanagh: All I see is mobs of fans Although the interest surrounding Conor’s return is not as much as it used to be leading up to his initial title run, Kavanagh stated that there is no dearth of craze for the Irishman at his home....

David Luiz was the victim of a reckless challenge from Sergio Aguero well into stoppage time, resulting in a fracas involving a number of players from each side. Referee Anthony Taylor dismissed Aguero for his foul on the Chelsea centre-back, while Fernandinho also received his marching orders after shoving Cesc Fabregas during the ugly scenes. Conte admits Chelsea got lucky No Chelsea players were sent off, though, and Conte was happy with his players’ behaviour....

Bet on Chelsea vs Arsenal Conte and Costa reportedly fell out after the Italian refused to let the striker join Chinese Super League side Tianjin Quanjian. Costa was subsequently dropped from the Chelsea squad for the Premier League game against Leicester City, although he returned to help Conte’s men claim the Premier League title, scoring 20 goals over the course of the campaign. The Spain international is now widely expected to leave Stamford Bridge, with a return to former club Atletico Madrid mooted, and Chelsea are on the brink of signing Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata as his replacement....

While the 2014-15 Premier League champions travel to Swansea on Sunday, Manchester United and Manchester City face off in their first derby of the season on Saturday. But Conte refused to discuss whether the two Manchester sides are favorites for the title, referring to Leicester’s success as proof that little can be ascertained at this stage. “I don’t like to speak about favorites,” he told a news conference. “Last season showed us that a team that is not the favorite can win the title....

The Belgium star endured a poor 2015-16 campaign just a year after being named the Premier League Player of the Season. Hazard can also conquer the Premier League for Chelsea But Hazard has returned to his best this term, and he scored again as Chelsea claimed a 12th straight league win by beating Bournemouth 3-0 on Monday. Conte praised the attacker for his displays, with the 25-year-old having contributed nine league goals and an assist in 17 appearances....

Begovic has been heavily linked with a move to Bournemouth but, with the transfer window closing in just four days, the 29-year-old’s future remains unclear. Chelsea were said to be lining up Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon to replace Begovic but Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers stated this week that the Scottish champions had no intention of selling. ‘Conte showing how exceptional he is’ And Conte, who will start Begovic in Saturday’s FA Cup clash at home to Brentford, expects him to stay unless a new keeper is brought in....

Jamaica emerged as shocking 2-1 winners in the semifinal in Atlanta, albeit under controversial circumstances. MORE: Must-see photos | Video highlights Defending champion USA was made to pay for a horror five minutes, as Darren Mattocks opened the scoring in the 31st minute and Giles Barnes netted a contentious free kick four minutes later after goalkeeper Brad Guzan was judged to have handled the ball outside his penalty area....

It’s not so much what he may be able to accomplish, although certainly someone with his resume at the very least has a chance to be a significant player. It’s what he represents. Saief is a recruit. He was born in the United States, left the country at age 3 to move with his family to Israel, and hadn’t really been back until he arrived for the camp that will prepare the USMNT for a friendly Saturday against Ghana and then the Gold Cup to follow....

Capcom has also shared clips and information regarding some of the new NPCs in the Monster Hunter Rise new hub, Kamura Village. While the announcement of some of those NPCs came in video form, Capcom has now switched to sharing concept art on Twitter of the various new characters. RELATED: 7-Eleven in Japan Giving Away Special Gold Monster Hunter Rise Amiibo Figures Several pieces of concept art has been shown of Hinoa, and to a lesser extent, her twin sister Minoto....

The upcoming title’s pixel art style and apparent relationship dynamics should be instantly recognizable to Stardew Valley fans, but with a number of twists. For instance, there appear to be branching dialogue choices in everyday conversations and deeper combat mechanics with new weapons like bows. However, the biggest difference is undoubtedly the game’s overarching focus. Instead of moving to Pelican Town to become a farmer, players will instead move somewhere with the intent of becoming a chocolatier; running their shop out of a haunted mansion....

The country’s star striker was instrumental in getting his nation into the FIFA tournament in Brazil, which takes place between June 15-30, after scoring seven goals to win the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup. His triumph in the regional tournament coincided with his brilliant debut with Manchester United in the 2010-2011 season, when he netted 20 goals to help the Red Devils win the Premier League and make him a household name in Europe....

When Overwatch 2 came out in October 2022, Blizzard announced making a change to its FPS map pool. The company decided to remove Assault maps from Overwatch 2 to replace them with a brand-new Push mode. The Assault maps, also known as Two Control Points or 2CP, were deemed too lengthy, sometimes leading to seemingly never-ending fights when no team managed to get the upper hand on their opponents. On the new Push maps, players fight to take control of a robot that they need to escort to a specific location - but as both teams need to move the same robot, it leads to intense fights to take hold of it....

The subcommittee’s ominous warnings did not go unrecognized. The House Judiciary Committee passed a package of bipartisan bills in June that aim to enhance antitrust enforcement, plug gaps in antitrust law with regulatory solutions and give policymakers necessary tools to hold Big Tech accountable. But the bills have largely remained at a standstill since then, with lawmakers facing myriad competing policy interests. The COVID-19 pandemic has allowed America’s largest tech companies to further crowd out the market....

Already-relegated Hull were thrashed 7-1 at home by Tottenham in their last game of the Premier League campaign on Sunday, with Harry Kane scoring a hat-trick for the second match in a row as Silva’s side collapsed. Silva remains undecided about his future ahead of a planned meeting with the club’s board, while Watford are reported to be interested in appointing him to the vacancy at Vicarage Road following the departure of Walter Mazzarri....

Conor McGregor is one of the most bankable stars in the UFC, and most fighters across several divisions would go out of their way to book themselves a big-money fight against the Irishman. McGregor wanted to remain active and compete at least thrice inside the octagon in 2020. He started the year with a bang by picking up a 40-second victory over Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 last January....

In an excessive force case, the conservative trio wrote that the two newest Justices were “unwilling to…bear[] the criticism that” denying the prisoner’s appeal “would inevitably elicit.” And in a religious liberty case, the Thomas-3 charged that Kavanaugh and Barrett lacked the “fortitude” to overrule a controversial precedent. The conservatives implied a similar fissure in several other cases. It is fairly common for justices to criticize their colleagues’ legal judgments....

That’s the case with what’s been dubbed TPUSA LIVE, a new alternative media hub from the conservative-oriented non-profit Turning Point USA (TPUSA) geared toward younger Americans.
