A defence expert says it is still unclear how Australian authorities will be able to force the CCP-linked social media app TikTok to comply with a ban on social media use for under-16s. The ban threatens the long-term viability of some apps, particularly TikTok, which has effectively captured the post-1990s and 2000s demographic. Yet the exact enforcement mechanism for the ban is being left up to Big Tech companies to work out themselves, a situation that Michael Shoebridge, director at Strategic Analysis Australia, says is “absurd.” “I think the social media ban will be very difficult for TikTok, more difficult than for some of the other big social media companies, because the Australian government’s model—which we haven’t seen too much of—seems to leave compliance up to the companies themselves,” he told The Epoch Times. This would effectively mean relying on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to regulate its own app for the benefit of young Australians. “So how the Australian government will be able to satisfy itself that TikTok is doing things that are in Australia’s national interest, and not in the Chinese regime’s interest, is mystifying,” Shoebridge said. “I think it just adds pressure on Tiktok and the Australian government to face the fundamental problem of the Chinese Communist Party’s reach into that platform and its data.” TikTok itself has also been heavily criticised for collecting large volumes of data from users, including accessing phone cameras, microphones, contacts, and location using GPS. In 2022, a study conducted by the U.S.-based Center for Countering Digital Hate, set up fake accounts posing as 13-year-olds in western nations, including Australia. For the study, they also set up two separate accounts with one fake user appearing more “vulnerable,” compared to the other interacting with regular content. TikTok’s algorithm was three times more likely to show the “vulnerable” accounts content about eating disorders, suicide, and self-harm.DTE Energy (NYSE:DTE) Shares Purchased by Caprock Group LLC
Pep Guardiola’s side at least avoided the indignity of a sixth successive defeat in all competitions but alarm bells continue to ring at the Etihad Stadium after a dramatic late capitulation. A double from Erling Haaland – the first from the penalty spot – and a deflected effort from Ilkay Gundogan, all in the space of nine minutes either side of the break, looked to have ensured a return to winning ways. Yet Guardiola was left with his head in hands as Feyenoord roared back in the last 15 minutes with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Sergio Gimenez and David Hancko, two of them after Josko Gvardiol errors. City almost snatched a late winner when Jack Grealish hit the woodwork but there was no masking another dispiriting result. It was hardly the preparation City wanted for Sunday’s crunch trip to Liverpool, and the Feyenoord fans took great delight in rubbing that fact in. They sung the club anthem they share with Liverpool, You’ll Never Walk Alone, and chanted the name of their former manager Arne Slot, the current Reds boss. Guardiola arrived at the ground with a cut on the bridge of his nose and, once again, his side have been struck a nasty blow. Despite not being at their best, they had dominated early on against what seemed limited Dutch opposition. They threatened when a Gundogan shot was deflected wide and Haaland then went close to opening the scoring when he turned a header onto the post. Feyenoord goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther gifted City another chance when he passed straight to Bernardo Silva but Grealish’s fierce volley struck team-mate Phil Foden. Foden forced a save from Wellenreuther but City had a moment of alarm when Igor Paixao got behind the defence only to shoot tamely at Ederson. Nathan Ake missed the target with a header but some luck finally went City’s way just before the break when Quinten Timber, brother of Arsenal’s Jurrien, was harshly adjudged to have fouled Haaland. The Norwegian rammed home the resulting spot-kick and City returned re-energised for the second period. They won a corner when a Matheus Nunes shot was turned behind and Gundogan fired the hosts’ second – albeit with aid of a deflection – with a firm volley from the edge of the box. City turned up the heat and claimed their third soon after as Gundogan released Nunes with a long ball and his low cross was turned into the net by a sliding Haaland. It seemed City were heading for a morale-lifting victory but a couple of Gvardiol errors changed the script. The Croatian, who had a torrid time in Saturday’s 4-0 thrashing by Tottenham, first horribly misplaced a backpass and allowed Moussa to nip in and round Ederson. Ordinarily that 75th-minute reply would have been a mere consolation and City would close out the game, but Gvardiol had another moment to forget eight minutes from time. Again he gave the ball away and Feyenoord pounced. The ball was lofted into the box and Jordan Lotomba fired a shot that glanced the post and deflected across goal, where Gimenez chested in. Ederson then blundered as he raced out of his area and was beaten by Paixao, who crossed for Hancko to head into an empty net. Amid some moments of unrest in the crowd, when objects were thrown, City tried to rally in stoppage time. Grealish had an effort deflected onto the bar but the hosts had to settle for a draw.AP Sports SummaryBrief at 4:54 p.m. EST
Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s regime is nearing collapse as rebel forces began to encircle Damascus. In the suburbs of the capital, were seen tearing down posters of Assad and a bust of his father, former president Hafez al-Assad. On Saturday, Syrian rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham [HTS] had reached the edges of Damascus, as thousands of pro-regime soldiers made a chaotic retreat into neighbouring Iraq. Syria’s rebels said on Saturday night that they have started entering the key city of Homs, while there were reports that government forces have been withdrawing. Syria’s state news agency denied earlier reports that , his close ally, claiming that he continued to govern from Damascus. “[We condemn] rumours and false news about President Bashar al-Assad leaving Damascus ... [Assad is] following up on his work and national and constitutional duties from the capital,” it said. Following the statement, a source told CNN that Assad was “nowhere to be found” at his usual residences in the capital. On Saturday night, HTS said a group of senior regime officials were negotiating over the terms of their defection. The Assad regime tried to reassure panicking residents by claiming it had “unbreakable” defences around the capital. Mohammed al-Rahmoun, the Syrian interior minister, told state TV that there was “a very strong security cordon on the outskirts of Damascus and no one can break it.” A spokesman for the Syrian army said it was reinforcing its lines “throughout the Damascus countryside” and carrying out operations in the “Hama and Homs countryside [in central Syria] and the northern Daraa countryside,” referring to areas under threat or already captured by the rebels. But residents of Damascus on Saturday began to flee the city and close their shops. “I’m very scared, for me and for my unborn daughter,” Rania, who is in her eighth month of pregnancy, told AFP. “I’ve been trying to buy medicine since this morning but I cannot find what I need.” Another resident said: “People are worried whether there will be a battle (in Damascus) or not,” adding that prices had rocketed amid panic-buying. On Saturday night a Syrian rebel commander, Hassan Abdul Ghany, said the rebels have also overrun an army camp and several villages near Homs, another key strategic city on the road to Damascus. and other rebel forces has sparked widespread predictions that the end could be near for Assad, who has ruled Syria with unparalleled brutality over the past 13 years. Russia and Iran, Assad’s closest allies, and Turkey on Saturday called for “dialogue” with rebel forces and a diplomatic solution. Moscow’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov insisted that the regime still had Russian support. President-elect Donald Trump called for the United States not to get involved, adding that Russia had been so preoccupied with the war in Ukraine that it “seems incapable of stopping this literal march through Syria.” “Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, and the united states should have nothing to do with it. This is not our fight. Let it play out. Do not get involved,” Mr Trump said in a post on Truth Social, his social media platform. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish president, said he hoped that neighbouring Syria “finds peace” as its people were “ tired of war, blood and tears.” Video footage recently filmed in the suburbs of Damascus appeared to show regime soldiers changing out of their uniforms into civilian clothing to evade capture by approaching rebel forces. In the Druze neighbourhood of Jaramana, on the outskirts of Damascus, residents were filmed pulling down a bust of Hafez al-Assad, Bashar’s father. Anti-regime protesters were also tearing down posters of Assad himself in some Damascus suburbs. Some protesters gathered at regime buildings and security offices and demanded that they evacuate, according to Ryan Marouf, an activist and the editor of the news website Suwayda 24. Beyond Damascus, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) raised their flag over the eastern city of Deir el-Zor, the third city to be lost by Assad this week. Turki Al-Mahlawi, the mayor of the border town of Al-Qaim, claimed that 2,000 Syrian soldiers have abandoned their dictator and sought refuge in Iraq. The advance of various rebel groups has caught Assad’s allies off guard, as it was widely presumed that he had near-total control over Syria, where a civil war has been grinding on since 2011. In Qatar, Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, called for an immediate ceasefire after a meeting with his Russian and Turkish counterparts. “The most important thing is to start political talks between the Syrian government and legitimate opposition groups,” he said. “We will oppose this [uprising] in every possible way, we will support the legitimate Syrian authorities. And at the same time, of course, we will actively promote the need to resume dialogue with the opposition,” added Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister. Geir O Pedersen, the United Nations special envoy for Syria, said that the situation was changing “by the minute,” and that he was consulting with Iran, Russia, Turkey, Britain, the US and EU leaders. “The need for an orderly political transition has never been more urgent, starting with the urgent formation of inclusive and credible transitional arrangements in Syria. For this we need an urgent serious process fundamentally different from what has gone on before,” he said. Iran, which has backed Assad throughout the civil war, seems to be losing hope that the Syrian dictator will remain in power for much longer. “He has proven that no matter how much support he receives, he cannot push back even a few terrorists from his territory,” one IRGC official told the Sunday Telegraph. “He’s just a moron who couldn’t build a proper government in 10 years, and his forces surrendered without firing a single bullet,” a member of the Iran-linked Basij paramilitary group in Tehran said. Iranian militia groups, which are now fleeing the country, posted videos of themselves online bidding tearful farewells to the Sayyidah Ruqayya shrine in Damascus. 07:46 PM GMT That’s all for now We’re pausing our live coverage for now. Check back to for the latest updates. 06:44 PM GMT Assad ‘nowhere to be found’ in Damascus The Syrian regime insists Assad remains in the capital. But a source with knowledge of the situation inside the city has told CNN that he is not at any of the locations he would usually be found in. The source said the presidential guard is no longer stationed at Assad’s official residence. 06:42 PM GMT Battle for Homs continues AFP news agency reports: A Homs resident said he had seen the rebels advance past a Syrian Air Force base, in the north of the city, that was considered a major defensive area. The resident later said fighting was audible in the city outskirts. An opposition figure in touch with rebel command and a Syrian army source both also said the insurgents were inside the city. Seizing Homs, an important crossroads between the capital and the Mediterranean, would cut off Damascus from the coastal stronghold of Assad’s minority Alawite sect, and from Russia’s air and naval base. In the south, the rapid collapse of government control could allow a concerted assault on the capital, the seat of Assad’s power, where residents said electricity cut out on Saturday. 06:37 PM GMT Pictured: Residents as Hama is captured by rebels 06:15 PM GMT Panic in Damascus Residents of the Syrian capital were panic buying on Saturday as rebels closed in on the city. Many shops in the city shut their doors while others ran out of staple goods such as sugar, a resident told the Associated Press. Prices for some items had tripled, they said. “The situation is very strange. We are not used to that,” the resident said, insisting on anonymity, fearing retributions. “People are worried whether there will be a battle (in Damascus) or not.” 05:30 PM GMT Syria army says boosting deployment around Damascus and in south The Syrian army said it was strengthening its defence lines around Damascus and in the south on Saturday, as panic spread in the capital after the rebels said they were drawing close. “Our armed units are reinforcing their lines throughout the Damascus countryside and the southern region,” a spokesperson for the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces said in a televised statement. He also said the army was launching operations against rebels in the “Hama and Homs countrysides (in central Syria) and the northern Daraa countryside” in the south. 04:52 PM GMT Syria minister says ‘very strong’ security cordon around Damascus Syria’s interior minister told state TV that security forces had imposed an impenetrable cordon around Damascus on Saturday, as fighters opposing the government said they were nearing the capital. “There is a very strong security and military cordon on the far edges of Damascus and its countryside, and no one... can penetrate this defensive line that we, the armed forces, are building,” interior minister Mohammed al-Rahmoun told state TV from Damascus. 04:51 PM GMT Pictures from Hama after rebel take-over 04:33 PM GMT Syrian rebel commander says rebels have overrun villages around Homs A Syrian rebel commander, Hassan Abdul Ghany, said that rebel forces had overrun an army camp and a string of villages around the city of Homs. 04:27 PM GMT Syrian rebels say they will protect governmental, international and UN offices in Syria Islamist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a former Al-Qaeda affiliate, said it has a duty to protect governmental, international and UN offices in Syria. 04:15 PM GMT Israel army says assisting UN forces in ‘repelling attack’ in Syria The Israeli army said that its troops were assisting UN peacekeeping forces in the Syrian-controlled part of the Golan Heights in repelling an attack “by armed individuals”. “A short while ago, an attack was carried out by armed individuals at a UN post in the Hader area in Syria,” the army said in a statement, referring to a town on the edge of the UN-patrolled buffer zone on the Golan Heights. “The (Israeli army) is currently assisting the UN forces in repelling the attack.” 04:05 PM GMT Syrian rebels enter suburbs of Homs Syrian rebels entered suburbs of the key city of Homs on Saturday, sources said, pressing a lightning week-long advance as front lines collapse across the country and government forces battle to save president Bashar al-Assad’s 24-year rule. A Homs resident, and army and rebel sources, said the insurgents had breached government defences from the north and east of the city. The Syrian military did not immediately comment on the reports. Fighting has raged around the north of strategically vital Homs since late on Friday with government forces reinforcing and using intense airstrikes to hammer the rebels. Insurgents also seized almost the entire south-west within 24 hours and advanced to within 30 km (20 miles) of Damascus as government forces fell back, rebels said. 03:52 PM GMT UN envoy says political transition in Syria ‘never been more urgent’ The need for orderly political transition in Syria has never been more urgent, the UN envoy for Syria said. Speaking at a briefing in Doha, Geir Pedersen called for calm and avoidance of bloodshed in Syria. Mr Pedersen also met with US representatives and other western envoys in the Qatari capital. 03:39 PM GMT Turkey’s Erdogan says he hopes Syria ‘finds peace’ Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he hopes neighbouring Syria “finds peace”, as rebels fighting to overthrow president Bashar al-Assad advance towards the capital, Damascus. “Our wish is for our neighbour, Syria, to find the peace and tranquillity it has been dreaming of for 13 years,” said Mr Erdogan, a key player in the region, adding that Syria “is tired of war, blood and tears”. Turkey, which has a long border with Syria, has become home to about three million Syrian refugees since the start of the civil war in 2011. “Our Syrian brothers and sisters deserve freedom, security and peace in their homeland,” Mr Erdogan added, voicing hope “to see a Syria where different identities co-exist in peace”. 03:28 PM GMT Pictures of the day 03:17 PM GMT Trump says US should ‘not get involved’ in Syria war President-elect Donald Trump has said the US should not be involved in the conflict in Syria, where rebel forces are threatening the government of president Bashar al-Assad. “Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!” Mr Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform Truth Social. He posted the message shortly before he was to meet with French president Emmanuel Macron while in Paris for the reopening ceremony of Notre Dame cathedral. 03:10 PM GMT Around 2,000 Syrian troops cross to Iraq, Iraqi mayor says Around 2,000 Syrian troops have crossed the border into Iraq and sought refuge, Turki Al-Mahlawi, the mayor of Al-Qaim border town, told Reuters on Saturday.

And at the same time, of course, we will actively promote the need to resume dialogue with the opposition.” 02:28 PM GMT Iran’s Araqchi says Moscow, Tehran and Ankara want end to fighting in Syria Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said after meeting his counterparts from Russia and Turkey in Doha on Saturday that the three countries agreed that the fighting in Syria should be immediately halted, Iranian state media reported.

The monitor said government forces were also pulling out of towns as close as 10 kilometres from the capital. On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Assad’s family had already fled to Russia. 02:12 PM GMT Pictured: SDF fighters raise their flag over captured regime town Fighters from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) coalition raise a flag in the eastern city of Deir el-Zor after capturing it from government forces on Friday. The town was the regime’s main foothold in the eastern Syrian desert and was the third major city to fall out of president Bashar al-Assad’s control.

South Korean prosecutors question ex-defence minister over botched martial law - Yonhap NewsBy Hyunjoo Jin and Josh Smith SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's leadership crisis deepened on Sunday as prosecutors named President Yoon Suk Yeol as a subject of a criminal investigation over last week's martial law attempt, a media report said, and his former defence minister was arrested. Yoon survived an impeachment vote in the opposition-led parliament late on Saturday, prompted by his short-lived attempt to impose martial law on Tuesday, but the leader of his own party said the president would effectively be excluded from his duties before eventually stepping down. That proposal, which appeared to win tacit approval from the Yoon-appointed prime minister on Sunday, drew condemnation from opposition lawmakers who said it was another unconstitutional power grab to delegate authority without resignation or impeachment. Thousands of people rallied in front of the parliament in Seoul on Sunday, calling for the impeachment and arrest of Yoon and the disbandment of his ruling party. Yoon's martial law declaration on Tuesday plunged Asia's fourth-largest economy and a key U.S. military ally into its greatest political crisis in decades, threatening to shatter South Korea's reputation as a democratic success story. The leader of Yoon's People Power Party, Han Dong-hoon, told a press conference alongside the prime minister on Sunday that Yoon would not be involved in foreign and other state affairs before his early resignation. But National Assembly speaker Woo Won-shik said it was unconstitutional to delegate presidential authority to the prime minister and the ruling party without impeachment. Woo proposed a meeting of rival parties to discuss ways to suspend Yoon's presidential power immediately. The main opposition Democratic Party called for the immediate suspension of Yoon’s presidential duties and for stripping him of authority to control the military. The DP called for the arrest of Yoon and related military officials implicated in the martial law fiasco. Yoon shocked the nation on Tuesday night when he gave the military sweeping emergency powers to root out what he called "anti-state forces" and obstructionist political opponents. He rescinded the order six hours later, after parliament defied military and police cordons to vote unanimously against the decree. CRIMINAL PROBE Yonhap news agency reported that prosecutors had "booked" Yoon, a process in South Korea that involves formally naming subjects of investigation. Prosecutors could not immediately be reached for comment on the report. Three minority opposition parties filed a complaint with the prosecution against Yoon, ex-Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun and martial law commander Park An-su, accusing them of insurrection. The crime of leading an insurrection is punishable by death or life imprisonment, with or without prison labour. Kim, who stepped down on Wednesday after Yoon rescinded martial law, was seen as a central figure in the debacle. He had proposed martial law to the president, according to a senior military official and the impeachment filings. The prosecution's special investigative team arrested Kim on Sunday and seized his mobile phone, it said in a brief statement to reporters. Before the arrest, investigators questioned Kim, who voluntarily appeared at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday (1630 GMT on Saturday), Yonhap news agency reported. The national police raided Kim's office on Sunday as part of an investigation into claims of treason against Yoon and top ministers, Yonhap said. Opposition lawmakers allege Yoon mobilised military forces to block a vote by lawmakers seeking to nullify what they said was an unconstitutional martial law decree. MILITARY CRISIS Hours before Saturday's impeachment vote, Yoon addressed the nation in a televised speech to apologise for his martial law decree, saying he would put his fate in the hands of his party. Han said the comments were effectively a promise to leave office early, adding that the ruling party would consult with the prime minister to manage state affairs. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said on Sunday the cabinet would do its best to "maintain trust with our allies", referring to the United States and Japan. The ruling party offered few details on their plan to prevent Yoon's impeachment but have him give up power, and the proposal added more confusion to the crisis over presidential authority. In an effort to reassure the public, multiple military leaders, including the acting defence minister, have stated they would refuse any orders to impose another round of martial law. The defence ministry did not respond to repeated questions from foreign media on Sunday over who is now the commander-in-chief of South Korea's military, which is one of the largest in the world and operates combined commands with the United States. "I think (military commanders) are very disappointed, some of them are feeling that they have been betrayed. It will take a lot of work to regain the trust of the military," said Chun In-bum, a retired lieutenant general in the South Korean army and former commander of the country’s special forces, who blamed politicians for the mess. "I resent the fact they draw in the military to do their job, and it was a bad decision to try to use the military to solve a political problem," Chun said. The leadership crisis threatens to undermine allied efforts to deter nuclear-armed North Korea, analysts said. "North Korea will probably take a wait-and-see approach toward these events, but it cannot be ruled out that Pyongyang will attempt to exploit divisions in Seoul," said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul. (Reporting by Hyunjoo Jin, Josh Smith, Hyunsu Yim, Ju-min Park and Eduardo Baptista; Editing by Sandra Maler and William Mallard)CARSON, Calif. — The LA Galaxy finished 26th in the 29-team Major League Soccer standings just one season ago, and their biggest supporters boycotted certain matches to protest a decade of poor performance. The most successful club in league history seemed light years away from its luminous prime. When the Galaxy raised the MLS Cup again Saturday amid confetti and fireworks, their spectacular transformation was complete. In only one year, a team that was profoundly lost had rediscovered its peerless championship pedigree. "We won this trophy, and it's finally back where it belongs," striker Dejan Joveljic said. Joseph Paintsil and Joveljic scored in the first half, and the Galaxy won their record sixth MLS Cup championship with a 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls. After striking twice in the first 13 minutes of the final, the Galaxy nursed their lead through a scoreless second half to raise their league's biggest trophy for the first time since 2014. MLS' most successful franchise struggled through most of the ensuing years, but everything changed after LA spent smartly in the offseason to build a high-scoring new lineup topped by Paintsil, Joveljic and Gabriel Pec. The Galaxy finished second in the Western Conference and streaked through the postseason with an MLS playoff-record 18 goals in five games to win another crown. "I'm just so proud of this group after the challenges that we (had) and the way they bounced back and competed as a group," Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said. "We spent a lot of energy at the start, but I'm just so proud of these guys. They've cemented themselves as legends in this club." The Galaxy even won this title without perhaps their most important player. Riqui Puig, the playmaking midfielder from Barcelona who ran their offense impressively all season long, tore a ligament in his knee last week in the conference final. Puig watched this game in a suit, but the Catalan catalyst's teammates hadn't forgotten him: After his replacement, Gastón Brugman, set up LA's opening goal with a superb pass in the ninth minute, Paintsil held up Puig's jersey to their roaring fans during the celebration. "I was really waiting for this moment," said Paintsil, who scored his 14th goal of an impressive season. "I'm much more, 10 times faster than them, and Gaston saw the space. ... It was really a good thing. We did it for Riqui, and we did it for our family that came, and our supporters." Just four minutes later, Joveljic sprinted past four New York defenders and chipped home his 21st goal. Brugman was named the MLS Cup MVP after a commanding performance in midfield. The Uruguayan hadn't started a match for the Galaxy since Oct. 5 after an injury-slowed season, playing only as a postseason substitute before the final. "I dreamed of that yesterday, of something I could give to the team," Brugman said of his pass to Paintsil. "Today, it happened." Sean Nealis scored for the seventh-seeded Red Bulls, whose improbable postseason charge ended one win shy of their first Cup championship. With the league's youngest roster, New York fell just short of becoming the lowest-seeded team to win the tournament under first-year German coach Sandro Schwarz. "I love these guys," Schwarz said. "Some guys, they are crying. In the big picture, that's a start. Sometimes when you lose the final, it's tough, but you use this experience to create the next energy, the next intensity." Galaxy goalkeeper John McCarthy made four saves to win his second MLS title in three seasons, but Nealis beat the 2022 MLS Cup MVP in the 28th minute when he volleyed from the penalty area. The second half was lively: Red Bulls captain Emil Forsberg hit the outside of the post in the 72nd minute, while Pec and Galaxy substitute Marco Reus nearly converted chances a few moments later. The ball got loose in the Galaxy's penalty area in the third minute of extra time, but two Red Bulls couldn't finish. After Galaxy owner Phil Anschutz received the MLS Cup that bears his name because of his steady financial support of the league during its shaky years, Galaxy captain Maya Yoshida carried the trophy to his teammates for the celebration. The Galaxy extended their lead over DC United (4) for the most MLS Cup championships in league history. The Red Bulls remain one of three original MLS franchises never to win the title, along with FC Dallas and the New England Revolution. The Galaxy finished 17-0-3 this season at their frequently renamed suburban stadium, where the sellout crowd of 26,812 for the final included several robust cheering sections of Red Bulls supporters hoping to see their New Jersey-based club's breakthrough. But this season was about the Galaxy's rebirth. The club famous for employing global stars from David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Robbie Keane and Javier "Chicharito" Hernández swiftly turned itself into a contender again by acquiring young talents without international fame. The Galaxy signed Pec from Brazil and grabbed Paintsil, a Ghanaian playing in Belgium. The duo combined with Joveljic to form a potent attack with orchestration from Puig, one of MLS' best players. "Losing a guy like Riqui after the performance he put in all season was devastating," McCarthy said. "Even if he wasn't on the field, we did it for him." Get local news delivered to your inbox!
Help the CBC combat the kakistocracy Commentary by Black Kos Editor Denise Oliver-Velez Given the results of the 2024 election, and the racist assault by the President-elect and his current crop of prospective cabinet and administration members on all the progress we have made since the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, it is difficult to find joy these days. However, there is some good news on the horizon. CBS news reports: Congress will have a record-setting number of Black members in its ranks next year The Congressional Black Caucus, with 62 Democratic members, plans to act as a counterweight to the Trump administration, says Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York. The Congressional Black Caucus will boast a record 62 members for the next session of Congress, contributing toward the highest number of Black federal lawmakers in history, according to a post-election report by the organization shared with NBC News. In all, 67 Black people will serve in Congress. Five Republican members are not listed as members of the CBC. While the caucus's members had planned to uphold a policy agenda for Black and marginalized people under a Kamala Harris administration, instead Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., said the CBC's role will be to hold President-elect Donald Trump and his congressional supporters accountable. “We’ve always been the conscience of the Congress, and that’s no matter who’s in charge,” Meeks, the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told NBC News. “We always try to work with folks where we can. But we call them out also. And now we have more of these leaders to call truth to power, to make sure that the voices of the voiceless are heard.” The Congressional Black Caucus, established in 1971, is not tied to a political party, though all members are Democrats. Its mission has been to represent Black and marginalized groups through voter enfranchisement, health care access, broader educational opportunities, jobs, reform of the criminal justice system and foreign relations with predominantly Black nations around the world. According to its website , members of the CBC currently represent 120 million people in the U.S. and 41% of Black Americans. It should be obvious that we need voices raised from the floor of both the House and the Senate, to challenge the kakistocracy we will be subjected to. Though we did not achieve our dream of seeing Madame Vice President Kamala Harris as POTUS, through no fault of her own (frankly those people engaged in Kamala blaming need to STFU) there are two new additions of Black women to the Senate: x For the first time ever, two Black women will serve in the United States Senate simultaneously. Senators-elect Angela Alsobrooks (MD) and Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE) are making history. pic.twitter.com/rgd3ieL96b — The Democrats (@TheDemocrats) November 16, 2024 The CBC is gearing up for battle. Staff writer for The Hill, Cheyanne Daniels reported: Congressional Black Caucus PAC launches fight against GOP efforts to implement Project 2025 The Congressional Black Caucus PAC has vowed to expose what it calls a “dangerous agenda” from “extreme Republicans” following the GOP’s success at the ballot box this year. The PAC announced Monday that it plans to fight back against any proposed legislation aligning with Project 2025. “The CBC will hold the line to protect Americans from the danger of extremist Republicans and their hate-filled Project 2025 agenda,” the PAC said in a memo Monday. “In the streets, the courtroom, and in Congress, the CBC will build coalitions with Americans of goodwill to fight for a fair economy and defend freedom. House and Senate Republicans should be on alert, we will expose and define their dangerous, reckless agenda out the gate — Americans will have a clear-eyed-view of the stakes next November.” The PAC added that the caucus has a mandate to fight for economic and social justice. The group’s stance against Project 2025 isn’t surprising — every member of the CBC is a Democrat. Both the caucus and its PAC have pushed back against the conservative blueprint, often highlighting the impact it would have on Black Americans. But with the largest CBC class in history, the PAC hopes the caucus can successfully push back on Republicans’ agenda. x Congressional Black Caucus PAC launches fight against GOP efforts to implement Project 2025 https://t.co/vifIilh0RC — The Hill (@thehill) November 25, 2024 x In Congress’ 119th session, @TheBlackCaucus will have a record 62 members and represent the highest number of Black federal lawmakers in history.

We know the mainstream media is going to be Dump and his Dumpsters 24/7. We also know that attacks on the CBC, and its members will continue, not just from MAGA, but also from ADOS, and other right wing white-funded Black MAGAs on social media. Because there are now 5 CBC members “who will be ranking members in committees: Rep. Gregory Meeks (N.Y.) on Foreign Affairs; Rep. Bobby Scott (Va.) on Education and the Workforce; Rep. David Scott (Ga.) on Agriculture; Rep. Bennie Thompson (Miss.) on Homeland Security; and Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) on Financial Services,” we need to ensure that we cover their role in hearings that surely will be forthcoming. The good news here at Daily Kos, is that DKos contributor and Black Kos community member lpeacock , who is @LindaLeePeacock on Twitter, and @lindaleepeacock.bsky.social on Bluesky is planning to launch a CBC roundup story series. We regularly post CBC news here in Black Kos, but given our limited readership I think it is important that the activities of CBC members are seen more frequently on the site, as well as on social media. Thank you Linda. Back in 2019 I wrote “The Congressional Black Caucus has expanded in size and clout” which covered CBC history that some of you may not be aware of so I’ll repeat part of it here. The History : During the late 1960s, Rep. Charles Diggs (D-Mich.) created the Democracy Select Committee (DSC) in an effort to bring black members of Congress together. Diggs noticed that he and other African-American members of Congress often felt isolated because there were very few of them in Congress and wanted to create a forum where they could discuss common political challenges and interests.“The sooner we get organized for group action, the more effective we can become,” Diggs said. The DSC was an informal group that held irregular meetings and had no independent staff or budget but that changed a few years later. As a result of court-ordered redistricting, one of several victories of the Civil Rights Movement, the number of African-American members of Congress rose from nine to 13, the largest ever at the time, and members of the DSC decided at the beginning of the 92nd Congress (1971-1973) that a more formal group was needed. “The thrust of our elections was that many black people around America who had formerly been unrepresented, now felt that the nine black members of the House owed them the obligation of also affording them representation in the House,” Rep. Louis Stokes (D-Ohio) said. “In addition to representing our individual districts, we had to assume the onerous burden of acting as congressman-at-large for unrepresented people around America.” The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) was established in 1971 by 13 founding members. In 1977, 15 of the Congressional Black Caucus members posed on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, from left to right: (front row) Barbara Jordan of Texas, Robert Nix, Sr., of Pennsylvania, Ralph Metcalfe of Illinois, Cardiss Collins of Illinois, Parren Mitchell of Maryland, Gus Hawkins of California, Shirley Chisholm of New York; (middle row) John Conyers, Jr., of Michigan, Charles Rangel of New York, Harold Ford, Sr., of Tennessee, Yvonne Brathwaite Burke of California, Walter Fauntroy of the District of Columbia; (back row) Ronald Dellums of California, Louis Stokes of Ohio, and Charles C. Diggs, Jr., of Michigan. Shortly after the CBC was established, its battle with President Nixon began. After President Nixon refused to meet with the group, the CBC decided to boycott the 1971 State of the Union Address, which made national headlines. “We now refuse to be part of your audience,” Rep. William Lacy Clay, Sr. (D-Mo.) wrote to President Nixon on behalf of the caucus, explaining that President Nixon’s refusal to meet with the caucus was evidence that the Administration wasn’t interested in helping the African American community. The CBC’s decision to fight its battle with President Nixon publicly worked in the caucus’ favor and became a strategy the CBC would return to again and again. President Nixon eventually agreed to a March 1971 meeting with the caucus. During the meeting, the CBC presented President Nixon with 61 recommendations to eradicate racism, provide quality housing for African-American families, and promote the full engagement of African-Americans in government. “Our people are no longer asking for equality as a rhetorical promise,” Diggs said. “They are demanding from the national Administration, and from elected officials without regard to party affiliation, the only kind of equality that ultimately has any real meaning—equality of results.” Press coverage of the meeting and the events leading up to it introduced the CBC to the nation. A few years later, in 1973, the CBC would be among the first members of Congress to call for President Nixon’s impeachment. Before I close, I have a few questions. How many members of the CBC are you familiar with? How many have been elected from your state? How many do you follow on social media? After a devastating and decisive loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris is keeping her “options open” about her political future once she leaves office next year. Harris has told her advisors and close allies, “I am staying in the fight,” Politico reports. What that fight looks like, however, remains up in the air. According to Harris’ inner circle, the vice president is considering running for governor of California when Gov. Gavin Newsom’s term-limited time in office comes to an end in 2026. Harris is also not ruling out running for president again in 2028. However, insiders told the news outlet that it is unlikely Harris can do both. While Harris, who left Washington, D.C. last week to vacation in Hawaii with family and advisors, has plenty of time to decide on her next move, those close to the vice president make clear she will remain a critical voice against Trump and his incoming administration. Politico notes that another option for Harris is setting up an independent entity as a former vice president, in which she would continue to travel across the country, deliver speeches, and maintain her political relationships in the event she seeks public office again. As President Joe Biden prepares for his first visit to the African continent in the oil and resource-rich Angola on Dec. 4, it remains to be seen if his successor, President-elect Trump, is as committed to diplomacy in Africa as previous U.S. presidents have been. During his first term, Trump showed no commitment or interest in true engagement with Africa, nor has he shown any during his presidential transition before taking the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2025. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre , senior advisor and spokesperson for Biden, told theGrio the president’s trip to Angola is intended to foster “shared interests” between the United States and Africa. Those shared interests include American businesses participating in Angola’s economy, as well as Angolan companies doing business in the U.S., including the oil industry and construction. There’s also a goal of establishing digital connectivity that reinforces Angola’s goals of renewable energy and food self-sufficiency. President-elect Donald Trump ’s administration is expected to consider formally recognizing Somaliland’s independence, a former UK defense secretary indicated, following successful elections in the self-declared republic on Tuesday. Former MP Sir Gavin Williamson, a leading supporter of Somaliland within the Conservative Party, expressed confidence that Trump’s new administration would address the issue, following discussions with members of Trump’s foreign policy team. “It will probably all take a little longer than we hope,” he added. Somaliland, a former British protectorate in the Horn of Africa near the Gulf of Aden, declared independence from Somalia in 1991 following years of civil war. Though unrecognized internationally, Williamson and others often view the de facto state as a rare example of stability and democracy in a turbulent region. NOTE: [ This comes at a time of growing tension between Somalia and Ethiopia over a port deal Addis Ababa signed in January with Somaliland, a breakaway region. Mogadishu sees Somaliland as a part of Somalia.] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DJI Air 3S review: The go-to quadcopter drone
