Giants Officially Cut Daniel Jones; Next Move?Heat earns gusty road win over Rockets behind another excellent night from Tyler HerroChristian Pulisic playing against Jamaica. On Monday night, Christian Pulisic, the star of the US men’s national soccer team, scored in a match against Jamaica and promptly jogged over to the corner flag. After a jumping fist pump, the red, white, and blue bedecked central midfielder did what’s become known as the “Trump Dance,” laughing as he wiggled his arms and hips. This dance is more than just “fun.” It’s a symbol of shifts in power and policy. In a post-game interview, Pulisic—a multi-millionaire who is a registered Republican—was questioned about his celebration, and disavowed that it carried any deeper meaning: “It’s not a political dance. It was just for fun.” No matter what Pulisic intended, there’s no denying he’s part of a larger wave of athletes, from the NFL to the collegiate level, who in the wake of Trump’s 2024 win have been imitating the president-elect’s dance, which he is known to perform along to “ YMCA .” In discussing the trend, Fox News liberal commentator Jessica Tarlov identified a hypocrisy in contrast to the national stick-to-sports outrages that followed political statements by stars like Colin Kaepernick and LeBron James : “I guess we’ve gotten to the portion of the Trump era where we have moved past shut up and dribble, and now it is fantastic for athletes to talk about their politics.” There’s no doubt some athletes are doing the dance as a show of support for Trump and his agenda. Take San Francisco 49ers pass-rusher Nick Bosa, who, a week before the election, wore a “Make America Great Again” hat during a post-game appearance. He was eventually docked $11,255 for breaking rules barring displaying written messages on the field, but, as the Wall Street Journal reported, the NFL delayed the fine until after Election Day in hopes of avoiding controversy or retribution from Trump. The following Sunday, Bosa did Trump’s dance in celebration of a sack; a video went viral after being shared by Sean Hannity on social media. Trump’s election win is visible beyond American athletes. Players from the English football club Barnsley F.C—founded in 1887 and now playing in the third tier of professional British soccer—celebrated a goal with the dance. The display was broadcast to the world by the team’s social media managers, who shared a video backed up by the sounds of YMCA . And this month’s attacks in Amsterdam on Israeli soccer fans were kicked off after at least one supporter of Maccabi Tel-Aviv, the visiting team, was photographed hoisting a Trump banner . As Trump’s win reverberates in American culture and across the world, his reelection has confirmed his status as a global right-wing figure. In that sense, symbols that are associated with him will always speak to shifts in power and policy. When they crop up in sports, it’s hard to argue they are simply “just for fun.”

President-elect Donald Trump said he’s appointing Devin Nunes, the chief executive officer of his Truth Social platform, to head a presidential advisory board that he said will keep tabs on the U.S. intelligence community. He also named Ric Grenell as “presidential envoy for special missions.” Grenell, who was Trump’s first-term ambassador to Germany, “will work in some of the hottest spots around the world, including Venezuela and North Korea,” Trump said on his Truth Social network. Nunes, a former congressman from California and former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, will head the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board while continuing his leadership of Trump Media & Technology Group, Trump said in a statement Saturday. As chairman of the advisory board, Nunes will “provide me with independent assessments of the effectiveness and propriety of the U.S. Intelligence Community’s activities,” Trump said. He praised Nunes’ role in “exposing” the FBI investigation into whether Trump’s campaign conspired with Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, which Trump calls a hoax. In February 2018, Nunes released a four-page memorandum alleging a Federal Bureau of Investigation conspiracy against Trump and then began an investigation of the FBI and the Justice Department. Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2021. Grenell was known as a combative ambassador during his time in Berlin. He also served as acting director of national intelligence and Trump’s envoy for Kosovo-Serbia negotiations. Nunes is the latest loyalist tapped by Trump since he won the presidential election in November. FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday he’ll resign before Trump takes office on Jan. 20, prematurely ending his tumultuous tenure. That would make way for Kash Patel, the Trump ally the president-elect has nominated to head the chief U.S. law enforcement agency and who Trump also says was instrumental in exposing “uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax.” Also on Trump’s nominee list is former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who has echoed Russian propaganda on Ukraine, as the next director of national intelligence. Trump also said he’s nominating International Business Machines Corp. executive Troy Edgar, who served as chief financial officer at the Department of Homeland Security during his first term, as deputy DHS secretary. Edgar “did an outstanding job” managing DHS’s $90 billion budget as well as “resourcing critical immigration policy” and funding construction of the US border wall with Mexico, Trump said in a separate statement. In his latest diplomatic nominations, Trump tapped Bill White, who heads the Constellations Group consulting business and formerly led a sea, air and space museum, to be U.S. ambassador to Belgium. Construction and general contracting executive Edward Sharp Walsh will be Trump’s nominee for ambassador to Ireland, he said.

When we unite, the music flows: Ranjani and GayatriCharvarius Ward will join the list of 49ers missing Monday night’s game against the Lions at Levi’s Stadium after the team ruled him out Sunday afternoon. The veteran cornerback and his girlfriend, Monique Cook, have been expecting the birth of a baby boy. The team cited personal reasons for Ward’s absence after coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Friday that Ward had good news but declined to explain further. Two months ago, Ward and Cook lost their first-born daughter unexpectedly at 23 months old. Ward missed three games in the wake of the devastating loss. As a pending free agent, Ward may have played his last game for the 49ers. He has been with the team the last three seasons after signing as a free agent from Kansas City, earning Pro Bowl honors last year as the top corner on an NFC champion team. He has 51 tackles and seven passes defensed this season after 72 tackles and five interceptions in 2023, including a two-pick, one-touchdown day last Dec. 17 at Arizona . In his absence, more will be thrust on the recently extended Deommodore Lenoir against the Lions’ air attack, and rookie Renardo Green will likely start in Ward’s place. Free agent signee Isaac Yiadom also may see more playing time. Along with Ward, left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and linebacker Dre Greenlaw (calf) were ruled out earlier this week, as were guards Aaron Banks (knee) and Spencer Burford (calf). Williams was placed on injured reserve and Greenlaw is also out for the season. ©2024 MediaNews Group, Inc. Visit at mercurynews.com.

Suddenly in charge, the rebels have been met with a mix of excitement, grief and hope. And so far the transition has been surprisingly smooth. Reports of reprisals, revenge killings and sectarian violence are minimal, looting and destruction has been quickly contained. But there are a million ways it could go wrong. Syria is broken and isolated after five decades of Assad family rule. Families have been torn apart by war, former prisoners are traumatized, and tens of thousands of detainees remain missing. The economy is wrecked, poverty is widespread, inflation and unemployment are high. Corruption seeps through daily life. Christians in Syria mark country's transformation with tears as UN envoy urges an end to sanctions DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — In churches across long-stifled Syria, Christians have marked the first Sunday services since Bashar Assad’s ouster in an air of transformation. Some were in tears, others clasped their hands in prayer. The U.N. envoy for Syria is calling for a quick end to Western sanctions as the country’s new leaders and regional and global powers discuss the way forward. The Syrian government has been under sanctions by the United States, the European Union and others for years as a result of Assad’s brutal response to what began as peaceful anti-government protests in 2011 and spiraled into civil war. US agencies should use advanced technology to identify mysterious drones, Schumer says After weeks of fear and bewilderment about the drones buzzing over parts of New York and New Jersey, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer is urging the federal government to deploy better drone-tracking technology to identify and ultimately stop the airborne pests. The New York Democrat is calling on the Department of Homeland Security to immediately deploy advanced technology to identify and track drones back to their landing spots. That is according to briefings from his office. Federal authorities have said that the drones do not appear to be linked to foreign governments. The GOP stoked fears of noncitizens voting. Cases in Ohio show how rhetoric and reality diverge AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Ohio's Republican secretary of state and attorney general sought to reassure voters before the November election that the state's elections were being vigorously protected against the possibility of immigrants voting illegally. That push coincided with a national Republican messaging strategy warning that potentially thousands of ineligible voters would be voting. The officials' efforts in Ohio led to charges against just six noncitizens in a state with 8 million registered voters. That outcome and the stories of some of those now facing charges show the gap both in Ohio and across the United States between the rhetoric about noncitizen voting and the reality that it's rare and not part of a coordinated scheme to throw elections. Storms across US bring heavy snow, dangerous ice and a tornado in California OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Inclement weather has plagued areas of the U.S. in the first half of the weekend, with dangerous conditions including heavy snow, a major ice storm and unusual tornado activity. An ice storm beginning Friday created treacherous driving conditions across Iowa and eastern Nebraska. More than 33 inches of snow was reported near Orchard Park, New York, which is often a landing point for lake-effect snow. On Saturday, a tornado touched down in Scotts Valley, California, causing damage and several injuries. In San Francisco, a storm damaged trees and roofs and prompted a tornado warning, which was a first for a city that has not experienced a tornado since 2005. After a 15-year pause in executions, Indiana prepares to put to death a man who killed 4 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana officials are preparing to execute the state’s first death row inmate in 15 years. Joseph Corcoran was convicted in 1999 in the fatal shootings of his brother and three other men, including his sister’s fiancé. If Corcoran is put to death as scheduled Wednesday it will be the state’s first execution since 2009. Corcoran's attorneys have asked a federal court to stay his execution, arguing it would be unconstitutional because he has a serious mental illness. Indiana officials have refused to discuss how they obtained the sedative used for lethal injection. No media witnesses will be permitted under state law. Israel will close its Ireland embassy over Gaza tensions as Palestinian death toll nears 45,000 DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel says it will close its embassy in Ireland as relations deteriorate over the war in Gaza, where Palestinian medical officials say new Israeli airstrikes have killed over 46 people including children. Israel's decision to close the embassy came in response to what Israel’s foreign minister has described as Ireland's “extreme anti-Israel policies.” Ireland earlier announced that it would recognize a Palestinian state. And the Irish cabinet last week decided to formally intervene in South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, which accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. The Palestinian death toll in the war is approaching 45,000. South Korean leaders seek calm after Yoon is impeached SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s opposition leader has offered to work with the government to ease the political tumult, a day after the opposition-controlled parliament voted to impeach conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol over a short-lived attempt to impose martial law. Liberal Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, whose party holds a majority in the National Assembly, urged the Constitutional Court to rule swiftly on Yoon’s impeachment and proposed a special council for policy cooperation between the government and parliament. Yoon’s powers have been suspended until the court decides whether to remove him from office or reinstate him. If Yoon is dismissed, a national election to choose his successor must be held within 60 days. Small businesses say cautious shoppers are seeking 'cozy' and 'festive' this holiday season With a late Thanksgiving, the holiday shopping season is five days shorter than last year, and owners of small retail shops say that people have been quick to snap up holiday décor early, along with gifts for others and themselves. Cozy items like sweaters are popular so far. Businesses are also holding special events to get shoppers in the door. But there’s little sense of the freewheeling spending that occurred during the pandemic. Overall, The National Retail Federation predicts retail sales in November and December will rise between 2.5% and 3.5% compared with same period a year ago. Pope Francis makes 1st papal visit to France's Corsica awash in expressions of popular piety AJACCIO, Corsica (AP) — Pope Francis on the first papal visit ever to the French island of Corsica on Sunday called for a dynamic form of laicism, promoting the kind of popular piety that distinguishes the Mediterranean island from secular France as a bridge between religious and civic society. The one-day visit to Corsica’s capital Ajaccio, birthplace of Napoleon, on Sunday is one of the briefest of his papacy beyond Italy’s borders, just about nine hours on the ground, including a 40-minute visit with French President Emmanuel Macron. It is the first papal visit ever to the island, which Genoa ceded to France in 1768 and is located closer to the Italian mainland than France.WASHINGTON — Only about 2 in 10 Americans approve of President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter after earlier promising he would do no such thing, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That displeasure tracks with the bipartisan uproar in Washington that ignited over the president's about-face. The survey found that a relatively small share of Americans "strongly" or "somewhat" approve of the pardon, which came after the younger Biden was convicted on gun and tax charges. About half said they "strongly" or "somewhat" disapprove, and about 2 in 10 neither approve nor disapprove. The Democratic president said repeatedly that he would not use his pardon power for the benefit of his family, and the White House continued to insist, even after Republican Donald Trump's election win in November, that Biden's position had not changed — until it suddenly did. Hunter Biden leaves federal court Sept. 5 in Los Angeles after pleading guilty to federal tax charges. Eric Thayer, Associated Press "I know it's not right to believe politicians as far as what they say compared to what they do, but he did explicitly say, 'I will not pardon my son,'" said Peter Prestia, a 59-year-old Republican from Woodland Park, New Jersey, just west of New York City, who said he strongly disagreed with the move. "So, it's just the fact that he went back on his word." In issuing a pardon Dec. 1, Biden argued that the Justice Department had presided over a "miscarriage of justice" in prosecuting his son. The president used some of the same kind of language that Trump does to describe the criminal cases against him and his other legal predicaments. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said it was a decision that Biden struggled with but came to shortly before he made the announcement, "because of how politically infected these cases were" as well as "what his political opponents were trying to do." The poll found that about 4 in 10 Democrats approve of the pardon, while about 3 in 10 disapprove and about one-quarter did not have an opinion or did not know enough to say. The vast majority of Republicans and about half of independents had a negative opinion. President Joe Biden and son Hunter Biden walk Nov. 29 in downtown Nantucket Mass. Jose Luis Magana, Associated Press For some, it was easy to see family taking priority over politics. "Do you have kids?" asked Robert Jenkins, a 63-year-old Democrat who runs a lumber yard and gas station in Gallipolis, Ohio. "You're gonna leave office and not pardon your kid? I mean, it's a no-brainer to me." But Prestia, who is semiretired from working for a digital marketing conglomerate, said Biden would have been better off not making promises. Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Feed | SoundStack | All Of Our Podcasts "He does have that right to pardon anybody he wants. But he just should have kept his mouth shut, and he did it because it was before the election, so it's just a bold-faced lie," Prestia said. Despite the unpopularity of his decision, the president's approval rating has not shifted meaningfully since before his party lost the White House to Trump. About 4 in 10 Americans "somewhat" or "strongly" approve of the way Biden is handling his job as president, which is about where his approval rating stood in AP-NORC polls since January 2022. Still, the pardon keeps creating political shock waves, with Republicans, and even some top Democrats, decrying it. Older adults are more likely than younger ones to approve of Biden's pardoning his son, according to the poll, though their support is not especially strong. About one-third of those ages 60 and older approve, compared with about 2 in 10 adults under 60. The age divide is driven partially by the fact that younger adults are more likely than older ones to say they neither approve nor disapprove of the pardon or that they do not know enough to say. President Joe Biden walks with his son Hunter Biden on July 26 as he heads toward Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington. Susan Walsh, Associated Press About 6 in 10 white adults disapprove of the pardon, compared with slightly less than half of Hispanic adults and about 3 in 10 Black adults. Relatively large shares of Black and Hispanic Americans — about 3 in 10 — were neutral, the poll found. "Don't say you're gonna do something and then fall back," said Trinell Champ, 43, a Democrat from Nederland, Texas, who works in the home health industry and said she disapproved of the pardon. "At the end of the day, all you have is your word." Champ, who is Black, voted for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris over Trump. "I just had my hopes up for her, but I wasn't 100% positive," she said. Champ also said she does not approve of Biden's handling of the presidency and thinks the country is on the wrong track. "While he was in office, I felt like I really didn't see a lot of changes," she said. "I just felt like everything just kind of stayed the same," Champ said. Overall, though, the pardon did not appear to be a driving factor in many Americans' assessment of Biden's job performance. The share of Black Americans who approve of the way he is handling his job as president did fall slightly since October, but it is hard to assess what role the pardon may have played. Sen.

When nations try to dethrone God, hell happensHeld responsible in part by pundits for President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, immigrants and minorities across the county — and in San Francisco — are now planning for his return to the White House. In the weeks leading up to the presidential election, speculation and analysis about the immigrant and minority votes — particularly in key swing states — ran rampant, with many suggesting they could decide the winner between former president Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Then, overnight, immigrants and their advocates quickly pivoted to control the fallout from Trump’s victory, given that he has pledged to carry out mass deportations and threatened sanctuary cities like San Francisco. There is a spectrum of opinions and outlooks among leaders in The City on how to react, and how afraid to be, after a second Trump election victory. While a playbook of sorts was drafted and put to use during his first administration, there is concern whether San Francisco has the resources at hand to fend off Trump’s plans, which had already escalated in the tail end of President Joe Biden’s administration. Several immigrant defense organizations told the San Francisco Standard this month that they are under-resourced for the task at hand under Trump, who has indicated on social media that he will deploy the U.S. military to help carry out mass deportations. At the Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, Mayor London Breed — who leaves office in January — trumpeted her administration’s work to improve resources for immigrants. It has expanded the Office of Civic Engagement and Immigrant Affairs and increased immigrant legal defense funding for programs such as CARECEN SF by 40%, Breed said. The City is also working to prepare for threats under Trump’s administration, she added. “My hope is that so much of this rhetoric and the worst does not come to pass,” Breed said. “But either way, I believe in this city as one that will always stand for immigrants and their families, and not give in to fear.” But even if much of Trump’s plans does not come to pass, some advocates say they’re already struggling. “The truth is, our capacity to do removal defense cases has been very, very limited, and I think if you talk to any provider in SF they would say the same thing,” said Adrian​ Tirtanadi​, executive director of Open Door Legal, a nonprofit that aims to offer universal access to legal assistance to those who need it. Open Door Legal estimates it would need more than an additional $2 million in annual funding just to meet the current demand from people currently under deportation proceedings. In San Francisco Immigration Court, people with representation are more than five times more likely to successfully avoid deportation, Tirtanadi said. “If we just let immigrants enforce their rights under current immigration law, you would dramatically slow the number of people being deported,” Tirtanadi said. Economic calculus will come into play. The City will be pushed to expand funding for immigrant-support programs at the same time it attempts to close a massive budget deficit. But immigrant advocates stress that the risk of doing nothing is great, and that the economic consequences of mass deportations would be severe in a city where about one third of the population is foreign-born. There were about 40,000 undocumented immigrants living in San Francisco as of 2021, according to the California Immigrant Data Portal, a project of the University of Southern California’s Equity Research Institute. But that number only represents a fraction of the people who could be affected by mass deportations and other policies proposed by Trump. An additional 26,000 U.S. citizens in San Francisco were living with a person who is undocumented in San Francisco, according to the same data set. There are political factors for San Francisco leaders to consider, as well, and some might suggest The City proceed with caution. San Francisco — by nature of it being the home to House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and a longtime progressive bastion — already has a target on its back that need not be thrust further into the path of Trump’s agenda. Francisco Ugarte, managing attorney of the Immigration Defense Unit in the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office, remains optimistic about San Francisco’s ability to resist Trump. “We have been through a similar period in history where there were promises of sweeping human-rights abuses and mass deportation,” Ugarte said. “This is going to be different, clearly, but what we learned is that San Francisco stood up, a lot of these local political disputes kind of sifted away, and we unified as a city around attacks on people who were not born in the United States.” He pointed to the unmet goals of the first Trump administration such as the construction of a massive border wall and end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. “It’s going to be bad, no doubt there's going to be a lot of fear,” Ugarte said. “We don't know what's coming, so it’s hard to prepare — but we will be there.” Under the first Trump administration, San Francisco took quick legal action that successfully blocked Trump from implementing an executive order that would’ve pulled funding from sanctuary cities. Trump has proposed a different path this time, hoping Congress will adopt legislation that would effectively accomplish the same goal as his original executive order. He’s likely to have a more receptive ear to that proposal on Capitol Hill, as Republicans will control both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Already, San Francisco community-based organizations and its Office of Civic Engagement and Immigrant Affairs (OCEIA) are preparing by highlighting resources for immigrants and their families, many of which were launched under the first Trump administration. That includes a rapid-response hotline through which someone can report ICE activity in San Francisco. The network of nonprofits that handle the call line work to vet the report, and can offer legal assistance to anyone detained by immigration officials. “We’re sad that this is happening, but we’re not surprised that Trump was elected and I think this time around, from those lessons the systems can easily be lifted [up],” said Jorge Rivas, executive director of OCEIA. The details and potential legal boundaries of Trump’s plans remain to be seen, which to some extent limits The City’s ability to plan for them. Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie hasn’t gotten specific in comments to the press since he won earlier this month, but has promised to defend the immigrant community. “Right now I’m trying to stay focused on our people and not deal with hypotheticals in [Washington] D.C., but I’m committing to people in San Francisco that I will always, always protect our immigrants,” Lurie told KGO-TV this week. Rivas said his office is already collaborating with service providers throughout San Francisco to assess their needs, and is working to update public-facing information. City departments are having internal conversations about the potential consequences of Trump’s actions, he added. In the meantime, Rivas stressed that San Francisco remains a sanctuary city, and people should still feel comfortable accessing city services — including emergency services like the police department — without fear that doing so could jeopardize their livelihoods. Rivas encouraged people to take advantage of existing resources, including the online Immigrant Support Hub and SF Immigrant Forum resource website. At the same time they’re preparing for Trump, immigrant and minority leaders are tasked by pundits, journalists and political analysts with explaining his victory. Hispanics are the second-largest ethnic group in the country, and the population is growing , according to Census data, placing them under pronounced focus. As the number of Latino voters grows, their votes are up for grabs, as research indicates that they are increasingly unlikely to be rigidly tied to a single party. Repeatedly, Latino voters have indicated in surveys that their top priority is that of the broader population — strengthening the economy and combatting inflation. And Latinos have as much a reason as anyone to factor inflation into their political calculus. Latinos and Black people were disproportionately impacted by inflation that began during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an analysis released in 2022 by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. On Election Day, Latinos supported Harris in smaller percentages than they did President Joseph Biden in 2020, according to multiple estimates. This quickly spurred headlines and analysis about the rightward shift among Latinos, particularly in states like Florida, which Trump won handily. According to nonpartisan organization UnidosUS, which surveyed Latino voters in the weeks leading up to the election, the reported drift rightward among Latinos has been overstated, and is actually on par with that of the rest of the nation. In the end, UnidosUS and its researchers believe that the Latino vote was not a deciding factor in Trump’s win over Harris. Even if not a single Latino voter cast a ballot in the 2024 election, the result likely would’ve been the same, according to Gary Segura, a UCLA political scientist who worked with UnidosUS to survey voters prior to the election. “Could Latinos have prevented former President Trump from winning North Carolina? Yes, if 97% of them had voted Democratic, something that seems unlikely in any circumstance,” Segura told reporters last week during a call to breakdown polling results hosted by UnidosUS. But that hasn’t stopped the speculation. “What we saw immediately after the election was this wave of people just trying to point fingers at how this happened ... it was pretty much, ‘We need to find a culprit,’” Frankie Miranda, president and CEO of Hispanic Federation, told The Examiner. There are a multitude of nuances to the Latino vote, which is far from monolithic. Central American Latinos, for example, supported Harris by a 40-point margin, while 54% of Cubans backed Trump, according to the UnidosUS poll. There were stark differences in how Latino men and women voted, according to the polling data. Women were far more likely to support Harris, though a slim majority of Latino men also backed the vice president. According to an analysis by The San Francisco Chronicle, counties in California with higher percentages of Latinos were more likely to have a larger shift toward Trump in the 2024 election. But German Cash, the California state director for Hispanic Federation, argued that Californians by and large maintained their strong support for Democrats. “There isn’t a resounding rejection of the policies that have made California what it is now,” Cash said. Regardless of the election outcome, leaders like Miranda are looking ahead and gauging how best to navigate a new Trump administration. “We are a little bit trying to just make sense of this new reality, we are in the process of mapping what is going to be the strategy and what are going to be the specific needs of organizations on the ground,” Miranda said.

Suddenly in charge, the rebels have been met with a mix of excitement, grief and hope. And so far the transition has been surprisingly smooth. Reports of reprisals, revenge killings and sectarian violence are minimal, looting and destruction has been quickly contained. But there are a million ways it could go wrong. Syria is broken and isolated after five decades of Assad family rule. Families have been torn apart by war, former prisoners are traumatized, and tens of thousands of detainees remain missing. The economy is wrecked, poverty is widespread, inflation and unemployment are high. Corruption seeps through daily life. Christians in Syria mark country's transformation with tears as UN envoy urges an end to sanctions DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — In churches across long-stifled Syria, Christians have marked the first Sunday services since Bashar Assad’s ouster in an air of transformation. Some were in tears, others clasped their hands in prayer. The U.N. envoy for Syria is calling for a quick end to Western sanctions as the country’s new leaders and regional and global powers discuss the way forward. The Syrian government has been under sanctions by the United States, the European Union and others for years as a result of Assad’s brutal response to what began as peaceful anti-government protests in 2011 and spiraled into civil war. US agencies should use advanced technology to identify mysterious drones, Schumer says After weeks of fear and bewilderment about the drones buzzing over parts of New York and New Jersey, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer is urging the federal government to deploy better drone-tracking technology to identify and ultimately stop the airborne pests. The New York Democrat is calling on the Department of Homeland Security to immediately deploy advanced technology to identify and track drones back to their landing spots. That is according to briefings from his office. Federal authorities have said that the drones do not appear to be linked to foreign governments. The GOP stoked fears of noncitizens voting. Cases in Ohio show how rhetoric and reality diverge AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Ohio's Republican secretary of state and attorney general sought to reassure voters before the November election that the state's elections were being vigorously protected against the possibility of immigrants voting illegally. That push coincided with a national Republican messaging strategy warning that potentially thousands of ineligible voters would be voting. The officials' efforts in Ohio led to charges against just six noncitizens in a state with 8 million registered voters. That outcome and the stories of some of those now facing charges show the gap both in Ohio and across the United States between the rhetoric about noncitizen voting and the reality that it's rare and not part of a coordinated scheme to throw elections. Storms across US bring heavy snow, dangerous ice and a tornado in California OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Inclement weather has plagued areas of the U.S. in the first half of the weekend, with dangerous conditions including heavy snow, a major ice storm and unusual tornado activity. An ice storm beginning Friday created treacherous driving conditions across Iowa and eastern Nebraska. More than 33 inches of snow was reported near Orchard Park, New York, which is often a landing point for lake-effect snow. On Saturday, a tornado touched down in Scotts Valley, California, causing damage and several injuries. In San Francisco, a storm damaged trees and roofs and prompted a tornado warning, which was a first for a city that has not experienced a tornado since 2005. After a 15-year pause in executions, Indiana prepares to put to death a man who killed 4 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana officials are preparing to execute the state’s first death row inmate in 15 years. Joseph Corcoran was convicted in 1999 in the fatal shootings of his brother and three other men, including his sister’s fiancé. If Corcoran is put to death as scheduled Wednesday it will be the state’s first execution since 2009. Corcoran's attorneys have asked a federal court to stay his execution, arguing it would be unconstitutional because he has a serious mental illness. Indiana officials have refused to discuss how they obtained the sedative used for lethal injection. No media witnesses will be permitted under state law. Israel will close its Ireland embassy over Gaza tensions as Palestinian death toll nears 45,000 DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel says it will close its embassy in Ireland as relations deteriorate over the war in Gaza, where Palestinian medical officials say new Israeli airstrikes have killed over 46 people including children. Israel's decision to close the embassy came in response to what Israel’s foreign minister has described as Ireland's “extreme anti-Israel policies.” Ireland earlier announced that it would recognize a Palestinian state. And the Irish cabinet last week decided to formally intervene in South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, which accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. The Palestinian death toll in the war is approaching 45,000. South Korean leaders seek calm after Yoon is impeached SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s opposition leader has offered to work with the government to ease the political tumult, a day after the opposition-controlled parliament voted to impeach conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol over a short-lived attempt to impose martial law. Liberal Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, whose party holds a majority in the National Assembly, urged the Constitutional Court to rule swiftly on Yoon’s impeachment and proposed a special council for policy cooperation between the government and parliament. Yoon’s powers have been suspended until the court decides whether to remove him from office or reinstate him. If Yoon is dismissed, a national election to choose his successor must be held within 60 days.

Pope Francis makes 1st papal visit to France's Corsica awash in expressions of popular piety AJACCIO, Corsica (AP) — Pope Francis on the first papal visit ever to the French island of Corsica on Sunday called for a dynamic form of laicism, promoting the kind of popular piety that distinguishes the Mediterranean island from secular France as a bridge between religious and civic society. The one-day visit to Corsica’s capital Ajaccio, birthplace of Napoleon, on Sunday is one of the briefest of his papacy beyond Italy’s borders, just about nine hours on the ground, including a 40-minute visit with French President Emmanuel Macron. It is the first papal visit ever to the island, which Genoa ceded to France in 1768 and is located closer to the Italian mainland than France.Audi A6 Avant e-tron Review

Several members of Donald Trump's incoming US administration have received threats including bomb alerts, the FBI said Wednesday, with one nominee reporting a pipe-bomb scare sent with a pro-Palestinian message. The President-elect's picks for UN ambassador and head of the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as his former choice to be US attorney general, said they were among those who had received the threats. "The FBI is aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners," the agency said in a statement. Swatting refers to a practice in which police are summoned urgently to someone's house under false pretenses. Such hoax calls are common in the United States and have seen numerous senior political figures targeted in recent years. Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump's transition team, said that several appointees and nominees "were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them." Outgoing President Joe Biden "has been briefed" on the threats, the White House said. "The White House is in touch with federal law enforcement and the President-elect’s team, and continues to monitor the situation closely," a spokesperson said in a statement. "The president and the administration unequivocally condemn threats of political violence." Biden has vowed a smooth and peaceful presidential transition -- in contrast to when Trump riled a mob that attacked the US Capitol in January 2021 with false claims of election fraud. Elise Stefanik, a Trump loyalist congresswoman tapped to be UN ambassador, said her residence in New York was targeted in a bomb threat. She said in a statement that she, her husband, and small son were driving home from Washington for the Thanksgiving holiday when they learned of the threat. Lee Zeldin, Trump's pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, said his home was targeted with a pipe bomb threat sent with a "pro-Palestinian themed message." The former congressman from New York said he and his family were not home at the time. Matt Gaetz, who dropped out as Trump's pick to be attorney general after facing opposition over sexual misconduct allegations, reposted Zeldin's message on X and said: "Same." Scott Turner, the nomine for Housing Secretary and a retired NFL player, and Trump's pick for Labor Secretary, meanwhile also said they had also received bomb threats at their homes. Fox News Digital quoted unidentified sources saying that John Ratcliffe, Trump's nominee to head the CIA, and Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary pick, were additionally targeted. Ahead of his return to the White House in January, Trump has already swiftly assembled a cabinet of loyalists, including several criticized for a severe lack of experience. The Republican, who appears set to avoid trial on criminal prosecutions related to attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss, was wounded in the ear in July in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally. The shooter was killed in counter-fire. In September, authorities arrested another man accused of planning to shoot at Trump while he played golf at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Leavitt appeared to reference the previous incidents, saying that "with President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us." bur-dk/smsSouth Korean authorities seek warrant to detain impeached president
