Donaldson called Anderson “Jackie” — referencing Jackie Robinson — during the contest. While he has maintained that he was referencing a 2019 interview during which Anderson referred to himself as “today’s Jackie Robinson,” Anderson took offense to the comment, which he viewed as “disrespectful.” “He made the comment and it was disrespectful,” Anderson said of the incident. “I don’t think it was called for, it was unnecessary.” MORE: Josh Donaldson’s “Jackie” comments, controversy explained...

During a Senate hearing focussing on abortion policy on Tuesday, an argument erupted between Bridges and Hawley when he questioned a phrase the professor used. Bridges used the phrase “people with a capacity for pregnancy,” which is considered a gender-neutral term that also recognizes transgender men and non-binary people. The debate surrounding abortion, women’s rights and trans rights has recently become more fierce following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v....

Recent months have brought the Party a string of successes with the passage of the $280 billion Chips and Science Act technology investment bill and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act gun safety legislation. However, one item that Schumer originally promised would receive a vote in “early summer” has yet to make the floor. Popular across the political aisle, the measure has picked up seven Democratic and six Republican co-sponsors. However, with Democrats focused on the inflation act, Klobuchar told MSNBC last week that Schumer said the bill would likely not see movement until the fall....

Hawley, who has indicated he will object to electors from at least one state, told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that Pence won’t be able to decertify votes. This contradicts several statements from President Donald Trump. Ingraham, host of The Ingraham Angle, asked Hawley if he believed the vice president “should not accept the certification of tomorrow’s election,” meaning the Electoral College votes at Wednesday’s joint session. “You know, my understanding is that under the 12th amendment, and under the relevant laws, the vice president, he opens the certificates and then he hands them over to the clerk in the Senate and the House and they count the votes,” Hawley said....

Simon & Schuster were originally meant to release the book, though pulled out of this following the events at the Capitol. Hawley bemoaned this as an act of “cancel culture,” threatening to sue over the decision. He is one of a number lawmakers to attribute backlash following the riot to this. Regnery Publishing, which describes itself as “the country’s leading publisher of conservative books,” is now due to publish The Tyranny of Big Tech, as first reported by The Federalist....

Joshua Brown, 28, died from his injuries after being shot several times at around 10:30 p.m. on Cedar Spring Road, Dallas, on Friday, October 5, according to the Dallas Morning News. Brown was a neighbor of Botham Jean, who was killed by Amber Guyger in September 2018 after she entered his apartment believing it was her own and shot him thinking he was an intruder. Guyger was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 10 years in jail earlier this week....

Not all athletes have those qualities, but there’s more to Joshua than just that. So what exactly makes Joshua more unique than anybody else? “He has that ‘It’ factor,” Showtime analyst Paulie Malignaggi told Sporting News. “He has a presence about him. Everybody is always trying to find the ‘It’ factor in athletes and people on TV. But, I don’t think you can really describe it. I don’t think there’s something in particular that creates it....

But that isn’t stopping the SN staff from predicting that the unified world heavyweight champion will defeat Povetkin (34-1, 24 KOs) in front of a sold-out crowd at Wembley Stadium on Saturday live and exclusively on DAZN. In fact, three SN staffers are predicting Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs) to win by 10th-round TKO. Do you agree? Take a look at our picks below.

This is all true as far as it goes. The problem is that the Journal editorial-page attack that helped make Foster so despondent was not good, aggressive journalism. It was bad, hypocritical journalism, as the columnist Michael Kinsley has shown. The same executive-branch prerogatives that were praised by the journal when George Bush’s counsel asserted them were viewed as near crimes when Clinton’s legal team came in. More broadly, the rationalizers don’t understand how lame they sound to the public....

Ramos’ position had been in doubt after owner Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani tweeted farewell to the Spanish boss on the back of Malaga’s Copa del Rey exit to second-tier side Cordoba, which left the team winless in five matches. And Malaga announced the departure of the embattled 62-year-old on Tuesday, with the side managing just one win in seven games heading into 2017. “Juande Ramos and the club have resolved in an amicable way the contract that brought together both parties – for this season and two more – and today sealed the deal,” Malaga said in a statement....

Turner’s father, in this particular letter pleading with Judge Aaron Persky for leniency in the case of his son’s sentencing, continued on to say that his son has “never been violent to anyone including his actions (on the night of the rape).” Do you feel gross yet? Are you seething with anger yet? Hang on for a second. You will be soon. MORE: Win-at-all-costs has consequences “I was found unconscious, with my hair disheveled, long necklace wrapped around my neck, bra pulled out of my dress, dress pulled off over my shoulders and pulled up above my waist, that I was butt naked all the way down to my boots, legs spread apart, and had been penetrated by a foreign object by someone I did not recognize,” Turner’s victim wrote in an incredibly powerful statement she read at the sentencing hearing....

New York State Supreme Court Justice Charles D. Wood in Westchester County made the ruling on Thursday, releasing it on Friday. Wood, who was elected to his position, ordered The New York Times to not publish any more of the confidential documents between Project Veritas and its attorney, while also requiring the publication to destroy digital copies and turn over any physical copies to the conservative group. Free speech advocates and the prominent New York newspaper decried the ruling, with the publication vowing to appeal....

Noor was convicted of third-degree murder after shooting and killing an Australian woman who had called 911 back in 2017. Defense attorney Caitlinrose Fisher disputed Noor’s conviction on the grounds that Minnesota’s third-degree murder statute entails actions aimed at multiple people and unplanned or indiscriminate in nature. Minnesota law describes Noor’s charge as “an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life.” The word “others” in the definition has become a source of debate as the prosecution and defense seek to define whether the charge must entail the endangerment of multiple people rather than one person....

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has friends among the other prisoners, and is even pals with some of the guards, but gets little chance to spend time with them. He is locked alone in a 6’ by 12’ cell for 20 or more hours a day — his reading limited and his mail censored. “There are many, many hours in the cell,” his wife, Stella, told Newsweek from London. Assange sleeps poorly, she said, meaning that he is often too tired to concentrate properly....

Foucher returned to the CrossFit Games on Saturday to participate in events only three hours after suffering an Achilles’ tendon injury. MORE: 92-year-old woman completes marathon | Great comebacks in sports During the box jumps on Event 3, Foucher lost her balance and said “something felt like it snapped.” “It sounds like I probably have a partial Achilles’ tear,” Foucher said via CrossFit.com. “I literally thought someone had, like, dropped a barbell on my foot, that’s why I looked behind me....

The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board voted to recommend Jones’ death sentence be commuted on September 13. Ultimately, the decision is up to Stitt and there isn’t a timeline for the governor to respond to the board’s recommendation. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals on Monday scheduled Jones’ execution for November 18, increasing the urgency for the Republican governor to act to spare Jones’ life. But Jones’ sister Antoinette Jones is hopeful the governor will commute her brother’s sentence to life with the possibility of parole....

Associate head coach/defensive coordinator Tom Mason will step in as head coach for the remainder of the season. “This afternoon, I talked to my staff and players and notified them that I have decided to resign as SMU head football coach effective immediately,” Jones said in a statement. “It was a very difficult decision for me to make, as you can imagine. I have devoted my life for the last 50 years to playing and coaching this game and it has been a great journey....

Typically, talent has to pay their dues by traveling through the independent circuit in order to perfect their craft. Perry took the same route. But it didn’t take him long to capture the imagination of fans with his unique character: Jungle Boy. The 22-year-old with long, curly hair and a relatively diminutive stature – who also happens to be the son of the late actor Luke Perry – captured the imagination of pro wrestling fans with his high flying maneuvers, magnetic charisma and constant improvement as an in-ring talent....

His crime: handling stolen goods. During the 1990s he smuggled more than 3,000 antiquities out of Egypt, selling them to dealers in London and New York for hundreds of thousands of dollars. (He was sentenced in absentia to 15 years’ hard labor in Egypt, but doesn’t plan to go back to find out if it still stands.) Today, living in Sandwich near the English coast, Tokeley-Parry, 49, remains unrepentant. Had he done what he’d done a century ago, he points out, citing Lord Elgin’s appropriation of the famous Greek “marbles” now on display in the British Museum, “I would have been knighted....

Our desperation for courage made Justin Amash, an obscure Republican congressman from Michigan’s west side, appear the principled hero when he left the GOP in the summer of 2019, became an outspoken critic of Trump and then voted in favor of impeachment. What courage, what valor, many Democrats thought. Now, Amash has declared an exploratory committee for a run for president on the Libertarian ticket. To be clear, Amash won’t be president of the United States—he may not even be re-elected to Congress....
