“HAPPY THANKSGIVING!” Trump tweeted in response to a tweet announcing the decision. Late Wednesday night, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of religious organizations, blocking New York Governor Andrew Cuomo from enforcing attendance limits at religious services. The 5-4 vote was the first in which the court’s newest member and Trump-appointee Justice Amy Coney Barrett played a decisive role. In an unsigned opinion, the majority said the governor’s restrictions, imposed to combat the spread of the coronavirus, violated the First Amendment’s protections for the free exercise of religion....

In a statement Tuesday, Trump said Warnock—the senior pastor at the church once led by Martin Luther King Jr.—had potentially committed transgressions comparable to Walker’s, though he did not say what they were. “Herschel Walker is being slandered and maligned by the Fake News Media and obviously, the Democrats,” Trump said in a statement. “Interestingly, I’ve heard many horrible things about his opponent, Raphael Warnock, things that nobody should be talking about, so we don’t....

“Joe Biden is no friend to Pennsylvania,” Trump told his rally crowd outside a building products factory in Scranton. “He’s your worst nightmare.” Trump took the unusual move of speaking ahead of Biden’s Democratic address as part of a broader campaign plan to drown out the Democratic National Convention, where speakers have mostly admonished Trump. Candidates typically don’t make such speeches on the day of their opponent’s nomination acceptance speech....

His comments come after the redacted affidavit was unsealed by Judge Bruce Reinhart on Friday, showing the way Trump handled classified documents that were retrieved from his Florida Mar-a-Lago residence during an FBI raid earlier this month. “When I read this today, my big overarching takeaway is, and I know this is just a prediction and speculation, but I say it’s an educated one is that the former president is going to be prosecuted....

TSA checkpoint figures show that the agency screened 1.28 million passengers yesterday, and a little more than 1.1 million on Saturday. The last time the agency screened more than 1.2 million passengers in a single day was March 16, when 1.25 million flyers passed through its checkpoints. Over the whole of last week, more than seven million passengers passed through TSA checkpoints, despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warning Americans to postpone their festive travel plans....

A member of popular esports group TSM, the 25-year-old streamer rose through the ranks to become one of the most beloved and most-watched Fortnite streamers, raking in millions of views and subscribers in the process. He is also known to be good friends with TSM Daequan and TSM Myth, one of the most popular trios in Fortnite. However, along with Daequan, TSM Hamlinz has been on a self-imposed sabbatical for a long time now....

Who do they think they’re kidding? George Foreman, heavyweight champion of the world? Nice, quiet, sensitive fellow who salutes the flag, answers when his draft board calls and admits there have been champions before and expects there’ll be champions after him? This we have as the best the world can offer with his fists? Pshaw! Somebody’s got to be garbling the type from Jamaica. C’mon, now, do they capitalize the “F” or is that just the first letter in a new job he got at the factory?...

In the second quarter of Sunday’s Dolphins-Bills matchup, Tua Tagovailoa took a late shove from Bills linebacker Matt Milano, and on the follow through, hit his head hard off the turf. The Dolphins passer would struggle to get to his feet, and after a few seconds, would stumble to the turf. The Dolphins would, unsurprisingly, announce Tagovailoa’s injury as a head injury. But what is surprising is that, despite the scary scene in Miami, Tagovailoa would later reenter the game after passing concussion protocol: There was something of a confusing reason for that....

Mbappe, 21, has already won nine trophies in senior football, including the 2018 World Cup, in which the striker scored four times. PSG again look on track to dominate French football this season, as they lead Ligue 1 and remain in the hunt in the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue. But the trophy that has continued to elude them since Qatar Sports Investments took over as majority shareholders in 2011 is the Champions League, and Mbappe wants to finally end that wait this season, before then going on to enjoy Euro 2020 and Olympics success with his country....

Thomas Tuchel’s winning machine has ground to a halt at the worst possible time. Chelsea have now suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time during the German’s short tenure and the effects could be catastrophic. After a self-inflicted 1-0 loss at home to Arsenal on Wednesday night, which cast doubt on their hopes of finishing in the Premier League top four, the Blues were beaten by the same scoreline in Saturday’s FA Cup final with Leicester....

The French Football Federation announced on Friday that Neymar must serve a three-match ban following his altercation with a Rennes fan after last month’s Coupe de France defeat. PSG have launched an appeal against the decision, but Tuchel believes the punishment is fair and urged the Brazil international to put his leadership qualities to better use on the field. “We must accept the suspension,” he told a news conference. “It was a mistake....

The Fox News personality told his prime-time audience on Friday that the vice president “has no idea what she’s doing” and he pointed to a Politico report about the culture in her office. That report cited 22 current and former vice presidential aides, who remained anonymous, and painted a picture of a dysfunctional work environment where some are already seeking other employment opportunities less than six months into the administration, while others have already left....

Carlson began the latest edition of his show Tucker Carlson Tonight with a segment on the “Dem Implosion” and the declining poll numbers of Warren. He claimed that the Democratic Party was “falling apart” due to the upcoming primary season, which he suggested was resulting in especially desperate maneuvers from Warren. “In this environment, political fortunes can change overnight, faster than Warren’s ethnic identity, even,” said Carlson, referencing the controversy surrounding Warren’s differing and disputed past claims of Native American ancestry....

Fox News held an average of 2.5 million primetime viewers in 2019 giving the network its highest-rated year ever. On Friday’s Tucker Carlson Tonight, the host criticized The Heritage Foundation for its alleged views on protecting the rights of big technology companies, saying it “no longer represents the interests of conservatives.” “And then there’s The Heritage Foundation, maybe the biggest and best-funded think tank in Washington,” Carlson said. “Half the conservatives in this city seem to have worked there at one time or another....

Talking about the way the price of eggs has recently shot up and how the product has disappeared from many grocery store shelves across the country, the television host alleged the real reason behind the egg shortage might not be the bird flu outbreak raging in dozens of countries worldwide, as experts say—but instead the feed the birds are given. While the surge in egg prices and the shortage has been linked to a combination of the bird flu, pandemic-related supply chain disruptions and the increased costs of fuel, transportation, feed and packaging, Carlson said that “some farmers who deal with chickens every day are not convinced” by this explanation....

The Quote In a segment about disinformation amongst the U.S. public, Carlson said: “We spent all day trying to locate the famous QAnon, which, in the end, we learned is not even a website. If it’s out there, we could not find it,” he began. “Then, we checked Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Twitter feed because we have heard she traffics in disinformation, CNN told us, but nothing there,” he continued. “Next, we called our many friends in the tight-knit intel community....

Salgaocar FC juniors (U-20) fought valiantly until the final whistle, but eventually went down fighting 2-5 to Tuff Laxmi Prasad SC in the finals of the 13th Goa Police Cup played at Tilak Maidan, Vasco earlier this evening. The winners led 2-0 at the breather. Salgaocar’s youngsters were always going to be up against it as Tuff fielded a full strength side that included the likes of Climax Lawrence, Micky Fernandes, Nicholas Rodrigues, Biju Kumar and Nigerian striker ND Opara....

Still, general manager Brian Cashman won’t rule out trying to sign Manny Machado, one of the top free agents on the market. And, in his first question-and-answer session of the year, Cashman revealed he has dragged talks to trade Sonny Gray until the Yankees know CC Sabathia will be ready to pitch following surgery to implant a stent in an artery from his heart. Tulowitzki, a five-time All-Star absent from the major leagues since July 2017, finalized his one-year contract for the major league minimum $555,000 on Friday after passing a physical....

After months of hammering out details, the U.S. Congress passed an economic relief bill on Monday night with a price tag of roughly $900 billion. The bill provides for direct payments of $600 to be made to all eligible Americans. Gabbard and other lawmakers have said the amount of money in those payments won’t be enough. “$600 is a slap in the face to every American struggling due to the pandemic,” Gabbard tweeted....

Rittenhouse is on trial accused of a number of offenses, including first-degree intentional homicide and attempted first-degree intentional homicide, after shooting and killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber during Black Lives Matter protests in the Wisconsin city in August 2020, as well as injuring Gaige Grosskreutz. On Thursday, the day the defense rested its case in the trial, Gabbard defended Rittenhouse as a “foolish kid” in a tweet, while dismissing those describing the then 17-year-old as an extremist vigilante....
