The long-awaited German decision was celebrated in Kyiv. But while the new weapons system will eventually make a notable impact on the battlefield, Western hesitancy to approve the transfer means that the tanks will not be on the ground in time for Ukraine to use them at a moment when Russian forces are still exceptionally vulnerable. “The Ukrainians were signaling an intention to conduct offensive operations over the winter, but the lack of Western security assistance has degraded their ability to do that,” George Barros of the Institute For the Study of War told Newsweek....

Video bloggers are coming to your rescue with recipes to use up all your leftovers after your family and friends are gone and your fridge is still full. Not only will you save yourself some money by repurposing the old dishes, but you can do a service to the environment. Americans wasted more than 305 million pounds of food—valued at over $400,000,000—on last year’s Thanksgiving feast, according to ReFED, a nonprofit working to end food loss....

The Premier League leaders restored their eight-point advantage at the top of the table over United on Sunday by coming from behind to beat West Ham 2-1 at home. Second-half goals from Nicolas Otamendi and David Silva – the latter’s volley on the end of Kevin De Bruyne’s superb chipped pass coming seven minutes from time – overturned Angelo Ogbonna’s opener and ensured City equalled Arsenal and Chelsea’s Premier League record of 13 successive wins in the same season....

The video, which had been viewed more than 39,000 times and shared more than 11,000 times within hours of being shared by Brown on Twitter, shows the Ohio senator calling out Republican Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska, sparking a brief but contentious exchange. “I’d start by asking the presiding officer to please wear a mask as he speaks,” Brown told Sullivan. “And people below him are, I can’t tell you what to do, but I know that, uh, behaviors…”...

After former teammate Dez Bryant made a plea for Murray to return to Dallas with the Cowboys over Twitter, the running back said he will be sticking with the Eagles. A NFL.com report earlier in the week said Murray’s future in Philly is uncertain, prompting Bryant’s outreach. MORE: Eagles and DE Vin Curry agree to deal “No. I’m signed there for the next four years. I don’t know where that story is coming from,” Murray told Pro Football Talk on Thursday when asked about the report....

Murray doesn’t think backs like him and the Seahawks’ Marshawn Lynch are undervalued in today’s NFL, given their importance as centerpieces in run-heavy offenses. MORE: Cowboys lack cap space to retain every key player | Romo wants his guys | All-Pro Team “Different teams have different needs," said Murray, who spoke to Sporting News and other reporters after joining SAP and the NFL on a fantasy football panel. “Everyone doesn’t have the same offense....

Barca 19/20 to win La Liga Lionel Messi’s hat-trick had Barca comfortably in the lead by the time the 20-year-old, who joined the club for €105 million late in the summer transfer window, got on the pitch, with the Argentina international netting his third just moments before the youngster was brought on in the 68th minute. In his limited time on the pitch the Frenchman, deployed on the right wing, showed a few flashes, drawing a foul and a booking on Espanyol defender Aaron Martin just after coming on....

The Democrat-led House Budget Committee voted Saturday 20-17 to pass components of the sweeping package that had been approved by over a dozen committees this month. The bill now heads to the House Rules Committee for expected amendments before it lands on the floor for a vote. One Democrat, Rep. Scott Peters of California, reportedly crossed party lines to vote with Republicans against advancing the measure. Pelosi set a Monday deadline for a vote on a separate $1....

Barnes, Wisconsin’s lieutenant governor, won his primary this month with nearly 78 percent of the vote after the other Democratic candidates dropped out and endorsed him. Johnson previously promised not to seek more than two Senate terms but reneged on that pledge in January. At the time, he said that the country is “on a very dangerous path” under Democratic leadership, resulting in his decision to run again. Despite being an incumbent, Johnson looks to be facing a difficult race....

Williamson, a self-help author, said in a now-deleted Twitter post early Monday morning: “There is something deeply sinister about Trump pardoning Charles Manson, even posthumously. Dog whistles of the very worst possible kind…” The tweet was deleted soon after it was published but not before being seized upon by other Twitter users who shared screenshots, and reported on by the New York Post. It is not clear how or where Williamson initially gleaned the information that Trump had apparently pardoned Manson, but Twitter users suggested that a story to that effect appeared on a satirical website called Moron Majority in November....

But they’re still more popular than President Donald Trump, the poll found. It’s the latest measure of lackluster support for Democrats heading into crucial primary elections. In fact, voters are more confused about who to support now than they were in mid-April as momentum stalls for just about everyone, a similar survey by Reuters/Ipsos found. Trump’s net “favorability score,” a unit calculated by subtracting unfavorability from favorability, was -17, according to Quinnipiac’s poll of 1,553 registered voters during the first week of December....

Golden, who represents Maine’s 2nd congressional district, issued a statement highlighting a potential tax cut for wealthy Americans contained in the $1.75 trillion legislation. Democrats delayed a vote on the bill which was due on Thursday after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy delivered a marathon speech on the House floor which was still ongoing at the time of writing on early Friday morning. Golden cited a rise in the cap on the amount of state and local taxes people can claim as a federal deduction as a reason for opposing the bill....

Republicans in the state legislature have been asking for Cuomo’s expanded emergency powers to be revoked for months, but their calls to do so recently received support from a handful of Democratic lawmakers. Fourteen Democratic state senators released a joint statement on February 12 calling for an early revocation of those emergency powers, which they said were “no longer appropriate” for Cuomo to possess. “While COVID-19 has tested the limits of our people and state–and, early during the pandemic, required the government to restructure decision making to render rapid, necessary public health judgments—it is clear that the expanded emergency powers granted to the Governor are no longer acceptable,” the senators’ joint statement said....

Hoping to push the impeachment articles through to a full House vote before the upcoming Christmas holiday, the debate is expected to continue Thursday evening. Final language is expected to be agreed upon for the articles of impeachment, which are based on charges of abuse of presidential power and obstruction of justice. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler began the meeting by saying Trump’s avoidance of the impeachment hearings was unprecedented....

Raskin, whose son Thomas died aged 25 in December, took up the role of lead impeachment manager ahead of Trump’s as-yet unscheduled trial in the Senate. The House impeached Trump in the aftermath of the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6. Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday about taking up the role, Raskin said: “I’m not going to lose my son at the end of 2020 and lose my country and my Republic in 2021....

Democrats are growing more optimistic that steadily declining gasoline prices and two significant legislative victories, including the passing of the CHIPS Act and the Inflation Reduction Act within the last two weeks, will act as catalysts for a surge in voter support in the midterm elections this fall. Bruce Stokes, visiting senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, cautiously agrees with their sense of optimism....

But passing legislation that would direct billions of dollars of investment in high tech manufacturing in the middle states could change that. While the America Competes Act and the Innovation and Competition Act are bipartisan, the respective House and Senate bills were sponsored by Democrats. The legislation could deliver some $7 billion to areas that stand outside the nation’s top five tech centers, which are located primarily in cities along the Democrat-controlled coasts....

Most of these politicians demanded that we #BelieveAllSurvivors less than two years ago, when Christine Blasey Ford accused—with zero corroborating evidence—Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct when he was a teenager. They insisted that the Senate and the American people should blindly believe Ford. But now that Biden is accused of sexual misconduct, Democrats have conveniently changed their tune. The partisan double standard Democrats have applied is disgraceful (but unsurprising): #BelieveAllWomen who accuse Republicans (and throw-away Democrats, like former U....
