Lindell has alleged—without providing substantiating evidence—that former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden due to massive voter fraud.

We see this philosophical observation playing out when the term “identity politics” is used. To ask, “What is identity politics?” is somewhat of a futile endeavor. It means far too many things. Is identity politics a good thing or a bad thing? To reference Wittgenstein again, the meaning of words is heavily contingent upon the context in which the word is used. The civil rights movement in the 20th century was by necessity a form of identity politics....

As Senate Republicans move full steam ahead to fill the Supreme Court vacancy by November 3, Senate Democrats have been caught flat-footed, unsure of whether they should threaten to blow up the filibuster and pack the court if they gain power next year. Meanwhile, Republicans are unapologetic in their approach to confirm Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s replacement just weeks before the election, even as it reneges on their 2016 posture that nominees to the nation’s highest court should not be filled in an election year....

“The,” as in, The Ohio State University has submitted a trademark claim for the word “the,” to be used in conjunction with its name and logo on merchandise that would include T-Shirts, baseball caps and hats, among other items.

On the ABC spinoff series, mixed-ish, which premieres on Tuesday, viewers will get to see for themselves just how different Bow’s childhood was during the 1980s. The show stars Arica Himmel as a young Bow and follows the preteen and her family as they adjust to “normal” life in society after their former hippie commune is raided. Like all the shows within creator and writer Kenya Barris’ ish-world, mixed-ish intersects timely societal and cultural topics pertaining to race and identity with comedy....

But one of the more promising reactions has been an increased emphasis placed upon the importance of voting. Could this be a moment in time where civic engagement by the public truly sees an upswing? Of course, most of the people advocating for others to get involved and go vote are doing so with one singular purpose in mind: Get rid of President Donald Trump. It’s generally not explicitly stated, but the implication is obvious to even the most casual observer....

The Department of Justice announced Igor Danchenko was charged with five counts of making false statements to the FBI.

‘[Pritzker], Governor of Illinois, and a very small group of certain other Governors, together with Fake News @CNN & Concast (MSDNC), shouldn’t be blaming the Federal Government for their own shortcomings. We are there to back you up should you fail, and always will be!" Trump tweeted earlier today. In response, Pritzker urged the president to “get off Twitter & do your job.” “You wasted precious months when you could’ve taken action to protect Americans & Illinoisans,” the Illinois governor tweeted....

Now Argentina is being forced to confront the failure of its justice system. Earlier this summer the Santiago Court of Appeals stripped the parliamentary immunity enjoyed by former dictator Augusto Pinochet in neighboring Chile, paving the way for his trial for human-rights violations. This denouement followed a two-year judicial process set in motion by Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon, who had indicted Pinochet for the murder of Spanish citizens during his 17-year rule....

This wasn’t the team that sparked debate about whether the playoff, in its current four-team format, should be expanded to eight teams, or whether the best or most deserving team should make it in. This wasn’t the team that limped through November and ended its season with a lackluster loss to Auburn. This was Alabama. MORE: Three things we learned from Bama’s win Or, rather, this was the Alabama we’ve grown used to seeing during Nick Saban’s tenure: angry, suffocating and relentless....

But for President Donald Trump—consistent with his four years in office—his departure from public service has been anything but normal. The GOP that Trump was leaving behind was caught in a civil war of its own making, faced with a choice between defending the outgoing president against impeachment charges or using the opportunity to distance themselves from a politician exiled from social media with a suddenly toxic presence for many in his party....

The Uruguay international was regularly linked with a move away from the Parc des Princes in recent years as he often played second-fiddle to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He has been a key figure following the departure of the Swedish striker to Manchester United, though, scoring 27 goals in the league already and a transfer is no longer on the 40-year-old’s mind. PSG’s Cavani in 46-year first “I hope to stay at PSG,” Cavani - who has a contract in Paris until 2018 -told beIN Sports....
