The announcement, first made in a series of tweets by the South Carolina Republican and Trump supporter, came as Giuliani has become targeted in House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. He has also continued to act as one of the president’s staunchest defenders. The impeachment proceedings began after revelations from a whistleblower complaint last month revealed that Trump pressured his foreign counterpart in Ukraine to investigate a potential political opponent—former Vice President Joe Biden and his son—for their involvement in a Ukrainian gas company....

Introduced by Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s antitrust panel, and GOP Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, a member of the panel, the Platform Competition and Opportunity Act would give the government greater power to stop mergers that it believes violate antitrust laws.

Radamel Falcao and Bernardo Silva netted the two goals required in the first half of Sunday’s match against Lille, the club’s 36th in the 2016-17 league campaign, helping Leonardo Jardim’s men to a remarkable century of strikes. Monaco’s goalscoring exploits this season have been remarkable and the 98 they had managed from the first 35 games is the best tally seen in France’s top-flight for 57 years, RC Paris having netted 111 from the same span back in 1959-60....

BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serbia and other countries rife with hooliganism risk being kicked out of international tournaments if their governments fail to stamp out violence at soccer grounds, UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said on Friday. The 49-year old Slovenian, who was elected chief of European soccer’s governing body in September, said offenders must be banned from entering grounds. “If they are not stopped, a disaster could happen and Serbia would be in serious danger of getting expelled from a competition....

Serena Williams captured her 15th Grand Slam title and fourth career US Open crown with a 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 victory Sunday over World No. 1 Victoria Azarenka. In the first three-set final at the US Open since 1995, American fourth seed Williams joined her sister Venus and Steffi Graf as the only women to win Wimbledon, the Olympics and the US Open in the same year. Pushed to her limit for the only time in the Flushing Meadows fortnight, Williams was down a break twice in the third set but battled back to win after two hours and 18 minutes when Azarenka swatted a backhand long....

Up until a couple of years ago, she practically plugged her ears at any mention of records or firsts. Now she says it out loud: Coming into the U.S. Open, her next goal is matching two tennis greats for the second-most major titles in the Open era with 18. “Obviously just getting closer to tying with Chris (Evert) and Martina (Navratilova),” she said. Then she added: “But been doing that all year and still hasn’t happened....

Well, the 40-year-old tennis legend isn’t officially calling it a retirement; she is referring to it as more of an “evolution” into the next stage of her life. Eeither way, Williams’ time playing the sport competitively will soon be over. It should be relatively easy for Williams to “evolve.” She has invested in numerous businesses during her career that will keep her busy in the next phase of her life....

On Saturday, Williams will seek her fourth consecutive title in a grand slam tournament. Her opponent: Garbine Muguruza.

It was her 18th victory in 20 matches against Sharapova. Serena, No. 1 in world rankings, broke in the match’s first set when Sharapova double-faulted three times....

She had a simple but poignant message: “The day I stop fighting for equality … will be the day I’m in my grave.” Williams then stood up and walked off from her news conference. Williams, who was hoping to earn an eighth title at Wimbledon and a record-equaling 24th overall at Grand Slam tournaments before Saturday’s loss to Halep, responded to comments Billie Jean King recently made questioning her focus....

The op-ed said that the United States had “taken a step forward to undermine, from covertly to semi-overtly, the key conditions for the establishment of diplomatic relations between Chinese mainland and the US.” Global Times also alleged that the United States had semi-purposefully published the news of the soldiers in order to antagonize the Chinese government and cause China and Taiwan to move further towards armed conflict and bulk up American presence in Taiwan....

The Puget Sound Business Journal first reported the move: McClendon replaces Eric Wedge, who walked away at the end of the season, citing differences with the front office on how to move forward with the Mariners' rebuilding process. Wedge's contract expired after the season. Seattle is turning to a longtime major league manager and coach for its young squad. McClendon, 54, led the Pittsburgh Pirates from 2001 to 2005, compiling a 336-446 record....

The Sounders understood a quick start to the 2019 season was important for their own psyche and their bigger goals in the context of the new MLS playoff format. So far, Seattle is backing up what it hoped to accomplish. “The atmosphere is great,” Jordan Morris said after the Sounders improved to 3-0-0 by beating Chicago on March 16. “Guys are working really hard. There’s a belief that this team can do really good things....

Georgia pulled that off in 2021. The Bulldogs lost the SEC championship game against Alabama, but then broke a national title drought that extended back to 1980 in the CFP championship game. Alabama remains the defending SEC champion. The Crimson Tide have won eight SEC championships under Nick Saban, including six in the CFP era. Alabama returns a loaded roster led by Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young and linebacker Will Anderson....

To make some more room for storage space, we often install a secondary hard drive or transfer our data to a portable hard disk. But what if you install a secondary hard drive on Windows 10 but your system fails to detect it? Yes, it’s a common Windows error that you can easily troubleshoot by making a few changes in the drive settings. Second hard drive not detected on Windows 10?...

Team Fortress 2 has achieved a wonderful popularity among the PC group, especially once it had gone free to play, which some fans didn’t agree with. All that aside, TF2 is a solid and fun game that everyone should try out at least once. That said, it will be interesting to consider what kind of feature or addition Valve will be adding to their online shooter. The developer is certainly unafraid to shy away from the ridiculous (with the hats) and given the game’s current nature, the cool project might be something outlandish that will add another layer to the gameplay....

Inspired by the comic book event, the story is expected to see Skrulls hiding out as humans on Earth. Just how closely the streaming series will follow the original comic book storyline remains to be seen. What fans do know is that it will feature Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as the Skrull Talos, introduced in Captain Marvel. Talos has already impersonated Fury in the MCU in Spider-Man: Far From Home, presumably with the latter’s permission since he was in what looked like a space station at the time....

In a viral Reddit post serving as an update to a separate thread covered by Newsweek last year, Redditor u/BlueRoses95 (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) said that after refusing to remove the necklace at her friend’s wedding in 2021, she was informed of the unsavory history attached to the piece.

The three planets—which were discovered in 2012 orbiting the Sun-like star Kepler 51 around 2,400 light-years away—have the lowest densities of any known exoplanets. “They’re very bizarre,” said Libby-Roberts from the University of Colorado Boulder, leader of a new study looking into the properties of the planets that’s set to be published in the Astronomical Journal. When scientists first determined the extraordinarily low densities of the planets in 2014, many were surprised by the results....
