White House officials Brian Deese, Arati Prabhakar, Cecilia Rouse and Jake Sullivan penned a letter Friday as a “roadmap to mitigate cryptocurrencies’ risks.” In light of strenuous implosions and collapses across the crypto market in 2022, they vowed on behalf of the Biden administration to continue to ensure cryptocurrencies cannot undermine financial stability, to protect investors, and to hold bad actors accountable. “Congress could also make our jobs harder and worsen risks to investors and to the financial system,” the letter reads....

Jarrett was asked during an interview on Fox News about who should feel “worse about their legal fate” in handling classified records. “I think President Biden is more at criminal risk here because Trump had the ability to declassify documents…he can do it on his own. He doesn’t have to tell anybody,” Jarrett said. Trump is being investigated by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for keeping hundreds of highly classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate....

Biden gave a scathing rebuke of his Republican opponent at a campaign stop in Bucks County, Pennsylvania Saturday morning. The Democrat criticized the president for downplaying the severity of the pandemic in the early stages—hours after the U.S. reported about 84,000 new COVID cases on Friday night. “I told him at the debate, we’re not learning how to live with it,” Biden said. “We’re learning how to die with it....

But Crosby also debuted as an 18-year-old all the way back in 2005. Over the past 14 years, he’s gone from one of the most highly anticipated players to ever reach the NHL to cementing his legacy as one of hockey’s all-time greats. On Wednesday, Crosby turned 32 years old. Here are the top 32 moments that have shaped the now-32-year-old’s career. Ranking the ‘Next Ones’: Top 50 prospects in NHL pipelines for 2019-20...

An anonymous punter in Indiana put $500,000 on underdog WFT to cover the six-point spread vs. the previously unbeaten Steelers, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The book had to pay out after Washington rallied for a 23-17 straight-up victory. A six-point spread looks generous in hindsight even though Washington fell behind 14-0 in the first half. WFT is in a divisional race (the bad NFC East) and it came into the game on a two-game winning streak....

“It’s unbelievable two-way action,” said MGM Resorts sports book hub manager Jeff Stoneback. “We only have a $1,500 differential with Wisconsin over Duke on cash taken and the same amount is shaded to the UNDER (139.5) as well." Current lines: Spreads and totals from Vegas While most books opened the game a pick ‘em, The Wynn hung Wisconsin -1, and the move to Wisconsin as the favorite is largely a function of following the market....

For the candidates, the books are a chance to speak directly to the voters–as well as position their earnest mugs in every bookstore. Though the prose is boilerplate, the books are often unintentionally revealing. Saying in his book “I believe that all people are created equal” doesn’t tell you much about Howard Dean. But he is distinguished by being the only candidate who doesn’t acknowledge in his book that he got help with it....

The January parliamentary race, like most Pakistani elections under military rule, will likely be rigged by the Army and intelligence agencies. EU observers called the 2002 presidential election “deeply flawed,” and during the five decades I’ve covered Pakistan, I’ve witnessed repeated cases of intimidation of opposition figures. The country’s Election Commission, appointed by President Pervez Musharraf, has already made an outlandish attempt to cook the books this year. In 2002, 71....

Jade, protagonist of the original Beyond Good and Evil, has yet to be born. That’s right, Beyond Good and Evil 2 will serve as a prequel and spiritual successor to the original games. Very few details have otherwise been revealed, but what is known is that the game will take place in System 3 and will feature a wildly diverse cast of characters ranging from personified gorillas and pigs to humans of all shapes and sizes....

“We are preparing another package of sanctions to apply in this case,” Sullivan told CNN’s State of the Union. “We’ve shown all along the way that we are not going to pull our punches, whether it’s on solar winds, or election interference, or Navalny when it comes to responding to Russia’s harmful activities.” The penalties will come “as soon as we have developed the package to ensure that we are getting the right targets,” Sullivan added....

The conference fell on the eve of the one-year anniversary of his inauguration. “It’s been a year of challenges, but it’s also been a year of enormous progress,” Biden said in his opening remarks. Biden addressed the press corps as he faces low poll numbers—52.3 percent of Americans disapprove of his job as president, according to the latest polling data from FiveThirtyEight—and a number of ongoing challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and rising prices....

More than half of voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy, marking his lowest net score on the economy since August of 2017. In June, Trump had a 52 percent approval rating on the economy, but that number has since dropped to 44 percent. “Trump’s strongest card, the economy, shredded by a killer virus, may have left the president with no go—to issue or trait to stave off defeat,” Mallow said....

In a letter sent to billionaire CEO Mark Zuckerberg this week, obtained by Axios, Biden campaign chief Jen O’Malley Dillon blasted the social media giant for failing to remove or adequately label content posted by the president and his re-election team. “Rather than seeing progress, we have seen regression,” Dillon wrote, arguing that the site had already failed in its pledge to stop the spread of false voting claims....

Khashoggi, a writer for The Washington Post and fierce critic of the Saudi regime, was killed by Saudi government agents in Istanbul in 2018. As a presidential candidate, Biden had vowed to treat Saudi Arabia like a “pariah” for its human rights abuses. He angered Saudi officials by releasing a U.S. intelligence report that determined the kingdom’s de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, likely approved Khashoggi’s killing....

How Beta Hydroxy Acid Works Beta hydroxy acid works mainly as an exfoliant. It causes the cells of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin) to become “unglued,” allowing the dead skin cells to slough off, making room for the regrowth of new skin. Beta hydroxy acid is reported to improve wrinkling, roughness, and mottled pigmentation of photodamaged skin after at least six months of daily application. Beta hydroxy acid that’s found in skincare products works best in a concentration of 1% to 2% and at a pH of 3 to 4....

The moment came as O’Rourke, the Democrat running for governor in Texas against incumbent Republican Greg Abbott, was describing the gun used in the shooting during a town hall meeting in Mineral Wells on Wednesday. O’Rourke, who has long pushed for stricter gun laws, said that 19 children and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary on May 24 after a teenage gunman “legally purchased” an AR-15 rifle, adding that the weapon was originally designed for use in combat....

It’s no secret that the actress and singer is not a fan of President Donald Trump and the spat erupted when McEnany tweeted about allegations of voter fraud in Michigan. “After presenting 234 pages of sworn affidavits raising allegations of fraud in Wayne County, Michigan voting, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers has DECLINED to certify their portion of the Michigan vote,” McEnany tweeted Wednesday. The Harvard-educated White House official boasted that the Wayne County board’s actions had aided the Trump administration’s attempts to hang on to power....

The vehicle in question is the Bravado Banshee, one of Grand Theft Auto 5’s famous cars. The Banshee had been created as a part of a GameStop competition during Grand Theft Auto 5’s launch in 2013, though the vehicle has since made its way into the hands of collectors at the Flat 12 gallery. The Banshee is a pretty striking ride, featuring bold blue coloring and a white racing stripe....

How these apps steal? These apps make use of the banking Trojan named Sharkbot to get hold of login credentials, account numbers, and similar financial information. The data helps such attackers snatch money from a bank account. At first glance, the Trojan malware apps are simply like any of the legitimate apps. However, the malware dropper camouflages as a regular app that lets you calculate say, taxes in some country....
