The God of War defended his title for the first time against Alex Perez, finishing his opponent inside the first round with a guillotine choke. If he defeats Moreno, as most people expect, then he’ll have defended his title twice. However, that still puts him miles behind former UFC Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson. Mighty Mouse became the division’s inaugural kingpin at UFC 152 back in 2012 by defeating Joseph Benavidez and went onto defend his title on 11 occasions – the most title defenses in UFC history....

Argentine third seed Del Potro, the champion in 2009, goes on to face either world number one and defending champion Rafael Nadal or Austria’s Dominic Thiem for a place in the final. Del Potro dropped his first set of the tournament against 11th seed Isner, who was playing in his maiden quarter-final at his home Slam. Despite that, the 29-year-old was never broken in the 3 hour 31 minute match where Isner unleashed 26 aces but was undone by 52 unforced errors compared to Del Potro’s 14....

Around midnight some unannounced guests show up. They are led by a sturdy man in a baggy T shirt and goatee. Standing in the Grota, the slum’s potholed main alley, Valdecir Baiense could pass for a drug hoodlum himself–except that his head is bowed in prayer. “My Lord!” he beseeches. “Let there be tranquillity here! Let there be peace!” At his back is a small group of Evangelical Christian missionaries....

In the first chapter of Deltarune, the secret boss is the enigmatic Jevil, the former court jester of the kingdom who went mad after meeting “a strange someone” who permanently changed the small clown’s personality. After some chaos, Jevil is eventually thrown in the dungeon and the key smashed to pieces. Yet Jevil is unbothered by his apparent imprisonment, instead viewing everyone else as prisoners, and he is the only one truly free....

Cousins, who had a 48-point effort two nights prior, enjoyed the performance of his career, shooting 21 of 30 from the field and hauling in 12 rebounds. His point total was a career high, and the most by any player in the NBA this season. Only three other players in the past 30 years have logged back-to-back games of at least 45 points and 10 rebounds — Antawn Jamison, Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley....

Critics charge that Democrats seek to use the Federal Reserve, the nation’s central bank, to funnel billions in aid to state and local governments. Opponents argue that such a move would, in effect, be a transfer of wealth from low-tax, well-governed states to high-tax, profligate states. Senator Pat Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican, said he wants to redirect about $429 billion in unspent money from the $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) to cover nearly 50% of the cost of the proposed new spending....

The governor’s seat flipped to Democrats in 2018 after nearly two decades of Republican control, giving them their first statehouse trifecta since the early 1990s. Senator Jackie Rosen joined fellow Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto to give Democrats control of both of the state’s seats in the U.S. Senate for the first time in decades, giving Nevada just its third Democratic duo since 1954. But with Cortez Masto facing re-election this year, warning signs are emerging that Democrats’ momentum could be in jeopardy amid an apparent exodus of members from the party that have so far gone unmatched among Republicans....

Senate Democrats have enough votes to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, if they stick together and Sen. Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico, who has been out recovering from a stroke, returns to the Senate as he said he would to vote for the Supreme Court nominee. But few if any Republicans are expected to support Jackson, and she would not alter the ideological makeup of the high court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority....

This is fantastic news not just for workers but for the entire country. Our economy and country do better when workers do better. And workers do better when they are organized, which is a good reminder to politicians. Despite the recent passing of the Democrat-backed Inflation Reduction Act and the glimmer of hope it’s given working Americans, some labor union members are concerned with what the upcoming midterm holds for those on the left side of the aisle....

The Protecting Our Democracy Act, as it’s been dubbed by House Democrats, would strengthen congressional power and oversight of the Executive Branch while curtailing a president’s authority and potential overreach—or abuses of power, according to Democrats. The bill is in direct response to President Donald Trump’s tenure, his administration’s brash attitude toward Congress and controversial actions. Meant to complement the anti-corruption bill known as H.R. 1 that House Democrats passed in March 2019, the newly introduced measure foreshadows the kinds of changes Democrats are eyeing under a new Congress and presidency—and most importantly, less Republican resistance....

As of today, the door has finally been opened, with Twitch streamer and Souls speedrunner Distortion2 being the one credited with finally unlocking the mysterious entrance and gaining access to the secrets inside.
