The talented French winger was immediately linked with a move to Camp Nou following Neymar’s world-record move to Paris Saint-Germain. BVB 13/2 to beat Hertha Berlin 2-0 Dembele did everything he could to push the deal through and was subsequently suspended by Dortmund. He was not the only man linked with Barca, with Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho also said to be wanted by the Catalan giants, but ultimately it was the France international who succeeded in getting his move....

The news comes as a relief for Zips head coach Keith Dambrot who has struggled with his team’s off-court issues in recent years. “I’m almost refreshed. It’s almost like I’m completely cleansed,” Dambrot said during a postgame press conference last week. “I like our group. At the end of the year, we may not win as many games, maybe we will. But it’s almost like I feel I can do my thing now....

While at least one other Democratic Senator, Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, shares her viewpoint, their opposition is part of an ongoing debate of whether Democrats should change Senate rules in order to achieve newly seated President Joe Biden’s ambitious agenda, especially on issues like climate change, voting rights and firearms regulation. As it stands, the filibuster requires a minimum of 60 Senate members to agree to end a debate on many matters before matters move to a vote....

President Joe Biden narrowly beat former President Donald Trump in Georgia by a little more than 12,000 votes—a margin of 0.2 percentage points. That made Biden the first Democratic presidential candidate to win in the conservative state since 1992. Simultaneously, Democratic Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff defeated Republican incumbents to flip their seats blue during a runoff election last January. Prior to their elections, Georgia had last elected a Democrat to represent the state in the Senate back in 1996....

The campaigns, shared first with Newsweek, break down to a $1.3 million digital partnership aimed at mobilizing Latino voters in Arizona on platforms like Hulu and YouTube from the political arms of the organizations, Priorities USA Action and Somos PAC. The GOTV program is a $1.2 million nonpartisan expenditure from Priorities USA and Somos Votantes, in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. An additional effort for voter education is being made in Nevada....

Democrats worry that Durham’s appointment—which cannot easily be dismissed by the forthcoming attorney general under President-elect Joe Biden without possible backlash and political consequences—will serve primarily to trouble the new administration by airing longstanding grievances held by President Donald Trump against Biden and former President Barack Obama. Trump has long claimed that the FBI investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia during the 2016 election was nothing more than a political “witch hunt” started by Obama and fellow Democrats to delegitimize his presidency....

Donated to the state in 1992, the eight-foot-tall whipping post was previously used at the Sussex Correctional Institute. Residents of the community called for the post’s removal, citing its affiliation with racial discrimination and violence. Delaware removed whipping as a punishment for crimes in 1972, making it the last state in the U.S. to abolish the penalty. “Such relics of the past should be placed in museums to be preserved and protected for those who want to remember the cruel, inhuman, barbarous acts perpetrated on our citizens,” said Delaware Heritage Commission Vice Chairwoman Reba Hollingsworth in a Wednesday statement....

Now Misbah has a Kawasaki Ninja H2, one of the fastest bikes allowed on Indian streets. She’s the only woman in India to ride one, and she saved the money to buy it all on her own. Few women in India ride two-wheelers, other than low-power scooters. Sports and cruise motorbikes are still primarily a man thing. “At INR 3.9 million ($52,000), the bike has a pretty high price tag,” said Harmeet Singh, showroom manager at Kawasaki West Delhi....

DeMarco Murray, who left the Cowboys to sign with their division rival Eagles this offseason, bought a billboard in downtown Dallas to thank the fans for their support during his four years there. MORE: Best NFL free agents | Murray gets booed at UFC fight | Murray signs with Eagles The billboard has a picture of Murray in his Cowboys uniform before a game with the words “Thank you Dallas” draped on the side....

Cousins revealed in an interview with “The Undefeated” that he no long wants to identify by his nickname of “Boogie.” “It’s just like, Jesus Christ! It’s so much extra put on with ‘Boogie,’” Cousins said. “I don’t want to be Boogie. I just wanna be DeMarcus. “I want my family and myself to be comfortable wherever I am at the time, and just be able to relax and kind of let my hair down....

Thatta kid. Original Story DeMarcus Ware played for the Cowboys from 2005 to 2013. That means he’s pretty well set into any and all NFC East rivalries. That was apparently bad news for Ware’s waiter on Easter Sunday, who is a Washington fan.

Ryan Farrar, who is running for election in the first congressional district in Northwest Indiana, has been criticized for a number of tweets sent over the course of several days in which he hit out at “COVIDIOTS” and “MAGAts.” In a tweet from April 21, Farrar condemned those who demonstrated in Indiana and elsewhere across the U.S., demanding that CODID-19 lockdown restrictions be lifted in order to help the economy....

Trump Jr. on Thursday posted a photo of himself wearing army print clothing and holding an apparatus, with Guilfoyle, who is a Trump campaign senior adviser, dressed as a witch. “Witch Hunt!!!” Trump Jr. wrote, using his father’s favorite line for his impeachment inquiry and the Mueller probe. “Happy Halloween folks! With all the bullshit the Democrats are throwing out there we just couldn’t resist.” While Trump Jr. intended to mock Democrats, he was trolled in return....

Recent historical precedent shows that the party of the president in the White House generally loses House and Senate seats in the midterm of the president’s first term. Democrats control both legislative chambers with slim majorities, meaning even just a few losses could shift control of Congress to Republicans. Meanwhile, polls consistently show President Joe Biden’s approval rating at historic lows, which many see as a bad sign for Democrats’ chances of winning in November....

Defeated governments have been reluctant to jam through consequential, controversial legislation in these so-called lame-duck periods, for good reason: having removed a party from power, it is reasonable for voters to expect lame-duck governments to behave as caretakers rather than changemakers. It’s one of the reasons that then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell rushed the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court in October 2020—he didn’t want the optics of having a Senate majority that the electorate just deposed making such an important decision....

A group of Hispanic Democrats with ties to the White House moved from their Signal chat known as “The Latino Braintrust” to their first call to gird against a repeat of 2020, when the narrative around Latino voters got away from them once Florida turned redder and Donald Trump won a higher share of the vote than expected. The messaging call focused on all possibilities, such as Senator Catherine Cortez Masto losing amid a red wave, the senator winning but Hispanic voters moving sharply toward Republicans, and other risks....
