Prescott suffered a compound fracture to his right ankle against the New York Giants in Week 5, ruling him out for the remainder of the season and handing Andy Dalton the keys to the Cowboys’ offense for the rest of the year.

The claim was made by an allegedly Anonymous-affiliated Twitter account with around 8,800 followers. It was later verified when reporters were able to reach the members in charge of the account and view materials related to the printer hack. “We have been printing anti-propoganda [sic] and tor [browser] installation instructions to printers all over #Russia for 2 hours, and printed 100,000+ copies so far,” the original tweet reads. “15 people working on this op as we speak....

In fact, her role may have been more complicated than some in law enforcement first realized. Intelligence sources say that in the late 1980s, officials in Beijing took a special interest in Sylvia Lee, inviting her to attend an academic conference in China. The advances were unusual. A nonscientist, she seemingly had little to contribute to the meeting, and presented a videotaped lecture prepared by the lab. Lee’s boss at Los Alamos at the time was a leading expert on laser technology, and the Feds believe the Chinese may have been trying to use her to obtain the lab’s laser research....

The phrase is an obvious homage to Porky the Pig, who says it at the end of every “Looney Tunes” show. It also was an apparent message right before what should be his final game with the Pelicans. He has a player option ahead of the 2020 season, though he has told New Orleans he has no intentions of staying, despite being eligible for a supermax extension. The shirt garnered a lot of attention, and with it: criticism....

“We’re preparing to [modify the vaccines],” Fauci said on NBC News’ Meet the Press, “but we might not have to.” The World Health Organization (WHO) classified Omicron, first detected in Botswana, as a “variant of concern” on Friday. Political alarm spread quickly across the world, as the U.S. joined many other countries in slapping new travel restrictions on South Africa to contain the virus. Omicron bears a troubling number of mutations that researchers believe could make it more contagious and possibly even evade vaccines and therapeutics....

Joshua last fought in August, losing to Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch for the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring heavyweight titles. He was working with a new trainer, Robert Garcia, after ending a 10-year relationship with Rob McCracken, who helped him win Olympic gold in 2012 and pushed him to the top of the heavyweight division.

The team told reporters Monday that Rizzo does not need surgery to correct the issue but will be wearing a walking boot for the next five to seven days.

Scaramucci served as White House director of communications for just 11 days, losing his job after an interview with The New Yorker in which he made disparaging remarks about members of the Trump administration. Since he was fired, Scaramucci, a New York City financier, has appeared in the media regularly, often making supportive comments about the president and his policies. But he has become increasingly critical of the president, even saying that Trump was “losing it mentally” in an interview with Vanity Fair published earlier this month....

Scaramucci, a lifelong Republican, is just the latest former Trump administration member to say Trump’s fragile ego and constant comparisons of himself to former President Barack Obama will cause him to stop at nothing to win Election Day. Scaramucci told Raw Story that Trump, should he lose, will not have to be forcibly removed from office because he’s “too much of a coward” to fight against strong-willed people. But on the other hand, he said, weak-willed GOP figures including Attorney General Bill Barr will surely help him “cheat and suppress votes” in the coming days....

The anti-abortion group Red Rose Rescue took responsibility for the incident, stating in a lengthy Facebook post that the “nonviolent direct action intervention” took place at All Women’s Health & Medical Services in White Plains, New York on November 27.

The protest was organized by a progressive alliance called the Center for Popular Democracy Action, designed to contrast with the anti-lockdown demonstrations that have taken place in multiple states which have won the support of the president, according to DCist. Demonstrators in the “People’s Motorcade” drove to the Trump International Hotel Thursday afternoon, stopping to drop off the mock body bags that were filled with paper.
