Finji itself isn’t new to subscription services. The publisher has released Chicory on PlayStation Plus, Overland in Apple Arcade, and three other games on Xbox Game Pass, which included the highly successful Tunic. So far, the likes of Game Pass have helped boost the company’s indie titles to popularity. In fact, Tunic is currently nominated for four accolades at the latest DICE Awards event. Though despite the success, Finji shares a cautious view when it comes to subscription services and indies in general, according to the company’s Chief Executive....

The Tunisia Football Federation will replace head coach Sami Trabelsi after the national team failed to qualify for the quarterfinals of the African Nations Cup. The country’s sports minister and the chairman of the football federation will meet next week to discuss Trabelsi’s replacement, reports Xinhua. Upon his arrival at the Tunis Carthage airport, Trabelsi was met with the word “Degage” (ship out) and booed by scores of angry fans who came to vent their anger at the team’s poor performance at the continental event....

During a Friday appearance on Greg Kelly Reports on Newsmax, Halligan said that there was a “lack of transparency” by authorities when it comes to the affidavit. “We want to review the affidavit for ourselves. They are very selective in terms of what they want out there and we definitely want to know what they’re claiming they have as evidence. So, their withholding of information is essentially controlling the flow of information and that is the first step to tyranny,” she said....

Trump faces a slew of legal battles and investigations, with two of them now being overseen by a special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland on November 18. One of those Justice Department probes is looking into whether the former president is criminally liable for the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and his efforts to unconstitutionally overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win. The Justice Department is additionally investigating Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified and top secret information by transferring and holding hundreds of documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort home in Florida without following normal procedures....

“I think a lot of people cheat with mail-in voting,” Trump said at Friday’s coronavirus task force meeting from the White House. “I think people should vote with Voter ID. I think Voter ID is very important, and the reason they don’t want Voter ID is because they tend to cheat.” Voter ID laws have been the subject of controversy in the past, with the ACLU calling the concept “discriminatory” against minority voters....

Unlike most of Trump’s rallies, his campaign event in Las Vegas will be a daytime affair and begin at 12 p.m. PT, the equivalent of 3 p.m. ET. Those supporters of the president who can’t make it to the rally in person can tune in to his remarks on their televisions and computers through C-SPAN. Viewers will be required to login with their television provider to access content, though....

Trump offered no context Monday morning as he retweeted ABC News video of a married couple, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, seen touting an assault rifle and a handgun as demonstrators marched toward the St. Louis mayor Lyda Krewson’s home. The protesters demanded Krewson’s resignation Friday after she read the names and partial addresses of people who were calling for police reform during a Facebook live event. Krewson later apologized for the incident, writing in a tweet that it was unintentional while she was “answering routine questions” during the Facebook live event....

With President-elect Joe Biden set to take office in January, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have been racing to fulfill the president’s promise of 450 miles of border wall before the end of 2020. According to the CBP, 402 miles have been completed as of November 16. Late October, the CBP celebrated reaching the milestone of 400 miles of new wall and noted that approximately 10 miles of new wall was being constructed per week....

On Tuesday, Trump suggested that he was considering withholding coronavirus relief money from states with sanctuary policies, unless they agree to make “adjustments” to their rules, which typically bar local law enforcement from working with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Citing concerns about providing financial support to states that he felt had been managed poorly, Trump said at a White House news conference: “We’re not looking to recover 25 years of bad management and give them the money that they lost....

Conor Burns announced he had quit his role as minister of state for trade policy today, after he was found to have used his position as a member of parliament to “intimidate a member of the public”. This was in regards to a dispute between his father and an unnamed member of the public, a committee on standards found. According to the U.K. Government website, Burns’s remit had included being responsible for policy on future free trade agreements....

The app is also ranked first on its Social Networking chart with a 4.3 star rating against 4.9K reviews. This initial success comes after an initially problematic soft launch that involved crashes, long waitlists and accusations of copyright infringement. Truth Social is described on the App Store as taking a “Big Tent” approach when it comes to free speech and censorship. “Think of a giant outdoor event tent at your best friend’s wedding,” the description reads....

Former employees of DeJoy’s company, New Breed Logistics in North Carolina, said they were reimbursed using bonuses after making the donations, according to a report by The Washington Post. This practice is illegal under campaign finance laws. “Louis DeJoy’s rise as GOP fundraiser was powered by contributions from co. workers who were later reimbursed, former employees say,” said North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein. “It is against the law to directly or indirectly reimburse someone for a political contribution....

AstraZeneca called their decision to voluntarily pause progress on trials for the vaccine, developed with University of Oxford researchers, a “routine action.” The company is one of three—along with Moderna and Pfizer—to begin Phase 3 trials for a potential coronavirus vaccine as part of the White House’ Operation Warp Speed Initiative. Despite the snag, Trump, who has been pushing for a vaccine to be released before Election Day, said a vaccine could be “only a question of weeks” away during a campaign rally in North Carolina on Tuesday evening....

Trump rebuked claims he and Republicans “control the Supreme Court” after the justices upheld a September 17 ruling by Pennsylvania’s top court that allows mail-in ballots to be counted up to three days after November 3. Trump appeared to sarcastically thank the Supreme Court justices for allowing a similar exception in North Carolina. Trump told Reading, Pennsylvania, rally attendees, “If we win, if we win on Tuesday or, thank you very much Supreme Court, shortly thereafter, if we win, let me tell you,” before alleging election officials may suddenly “find” 10,000 new ballots—the same amount he won the state of Michigan by in 2016....

Speaking to Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo during his first televised interview since Election Day, the sitting president once again insisted that President-elect Joe Biden’s projected win was contrived through misconduct and ballot manipulation, despite an absence of evidence to support his allegations. Amid a collection of statements he made to argue the presidential contest was “rigged,” Trump suggested that Biden’s favorability among Black voters, compared to former president Barack Obama’s, validated his accusations about fraudulent results....

Biden called for such a rule on Thursday, insisting every American should be wearing a face-covering when they are outside for the next three months at least. He suggested every governor in the country should be putting such a plan forward, referring to research suggesting having done so earlier in the year could have saved thousands of lives. “Let’s institute a mask mandate nationwide starting immediately, and we will save lives,” Biden said....

Trump has yet to concede the election to Biden, who secured the 270 electoral votes necessary to win days after the election. Even as crucial swing states certify their results, Trump’s team has maintained its legal fight against what the president claims, without evidence, is election fraud. One of the states the team has its eyes on is Georgia. On Tuesday, Trump called for Kemp to “do something” because he had “allowed” his state to be “scammed....

Trump cautioned attendees at a Valdosta, Georgia, rally Saturday that the government will begin confiscating their land and firearms if Democratic Senate candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff win the upcoming runoff elections. The president reignited criticism from 2018, when he told the U.S. State Department to investigate if white farmers were being killed and having their farms confiscated by the post-apartheid government seeking reparations. Fox News host Tucker Carlson ran an August 2018 segment in which he labeled South African President Cyril Ramaphosa a “racist” over right-wing theories which have since been debunked....

At the event, the former president supported several GOP primary candidates, including gubernatorial Republican candidate David Perdue, who is challenging Kemp. Trump has repeatedly criticized the governor after he refused to cave to pressure to investigate the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. “David Perdue, who is a wonderful man, and incredible family, and who really got screwed by Kemp, is the only candidate in this race who can beat Stacey ’the hoax’ Abrams this November....

Woods is scheduled to make his return to competitive golf next week when he serves as the host of the Hero World Challenge, a PGA Tour limited-field event in the Bahamas. Johnson, meanwhile, is the world’s top-ranked player. The president started his social-media day early, as usual when he is in Florida, with another jab at the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell over players’ protests during the national anthem....
