The couple met on Netflix’s dating experiment, which required them to accept an engagement before ever seeing each other. While Amber was immediately drawn to Barnett, he received a bad reputation for flirting with three women and only choosing Amber at the last minute. Though their relationship started out with a bit of drama, the pair quickly fell into what seemed to be a close, secure bond. Now, they’ve addressed all of the show’s drama as a couple....

Your nasal passages can develop a dependence to these medications rather quickly. That’s why prescribers and product labels say to limit use to three days. How Decongestants Work A common belief is that congestion is caused by mucus blocking your nasal passages. This is only partially true. The underlying cause of congestion lies in the blood vessels that line your nose. Certain conditions can cause these vessels to become swollen or constrict....

Gray singled out Neera Tanden, who Biden said on Sunday he would nominate as the next director of the Office of Management and Budget. The announcement has been met with widespread backlash from Bernie supporters who see Tanden, the president of think tank Center for American Progress (CAP), as an obstacle to progressive change in the country. Gray suggested Biden’s Cabinet pick was a slap in the face to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, a group the president-elect has been tasked with unifying alongside the party’s more moderate members....

Jeff Flake served as senator in the Grand Canyon state between 2013 and 2019 and has been a vocal critic of Trump. In October, he filmed an ad in which he urged GOP voters to back Biden, saying that he had never before voted for a Democrat for president. Regarding Trump’s defeat in the election, he told the BBC’s Newsnight program: “Most of the Republican Party has accepted it. Whether they want to admit it or not....

Paul Oetken, and will ensure attorney-client privilege is protected during the investigation into electronic devices owned by ex-President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney after FBI raids in late April. Jones served as a Manhattan federal judge from 1995 to 2013. Investigators are probing Giuliani’s interactions with Ukrainian figures to see if he violated a law governing lobbying on behalf of foreign countries or entities....

The document was submitted in support of a petition filed by the National Coalition for Men (NCM) which is represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in January. The petition alleges that the U.S. Selective Service violates the constitution because only men are required to register for a possible draft. Men who do not register with the Selective Service are subject to penalties which may include prosecution. The brief co-submitted by Hayden implies that the Selective Service registration process is outdated....

Igor Girkin is an avowed Russian nationalist who previously served as the “supreme commander” of the separatist forces in the breakaway Donetsk region of Ukraine. Since the start of Moscow’s invasion of the Eastern European country in late February, Girkin has been prominent as a “military blogger,” being outspoken in both his support of Russia’s goals and his criticism of its military competence. On Saturday, Girkin took to his Telegram account to discuss the Russian military’s latest movements in the Donbas region and its plan “to strike south of Artemovsk - on the front line northwest and west of Gorlovka....

Three senior military officers say U.S. intelligence has established a number of special cells—at the Pentagon, at the Defense Intelligence Agency and at U.S. European Command—to methodically track the Ukraine war, both for situational awareness and to document Russian violations of the laws of war. The three are active duty officers. One is involved in the actual cell; the other two are briefed on the results as part of their work on Pentagon staffs....

Last week, military officials released operation orders for 2020 which form a new request for assistance, or RFA, from the Department of Homeland Security for continued Pentagon support on the southwest border. While previous requests have been unclassified since U.S. forces first deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border in October 2018, the latest set of orders was disseminated over a secret network called SIPR. The policy shift to classify border documents came from Lieutenant General Laura J....

For the first time, the war plan fully incorporates non-nuclear weapons as an equal player. The non-nuclear options include the realm of cyber warfare, including cyber attacks on the basic workings of society like electrical power or communications. Rather than strengthen deterrence, the emergence of countless options and hidden cyber attack schemes weakens deterrence, obscures the nuclear firebreak and makes escalation more likely. Why? Because an adversary such as Russia can be confused about where preparations for nuclear war start, and whether a multi-domain attack is merely a defense or the makings of a first strike....

NEWSWEEK: What does your win in Iowa say about America today? Barack Obama: It means that America is hungry for change. The way young people, old people, independents, crossover Republicans poured out was a testimony to the American people’s desire to move beyond the broken politics of Washington.

Once Republicans won one of the houses of Congress, President Obama responded with unilateral action rather than legislative compromise. “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone,” he famously said in 2014. “And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.” One thing he would not do? “We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation....

Abdulaziz, who sought asylum in Canada in 2013, said McKinsey prepared a report in 2016 identifying him as one of three influential social media critics of Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the kingdom’s de facto ruler. McKinsey either “furnished” the report to the crown prince or his agents, or “allowed” them to access it, the lawsuit says. The report, which took the shape of a Powerpoint presentation, allegedly characterized Abdulaziz as a “Saudi influencer with high following” that has “a multitude of negative tweets on topics such as austerity and the royal decrees....

After the Supreme Court voted in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade last week thanks to the support of the conservative supermajority of justices, the idea of expanding the number of seats in the court to re-establish some balance and fairness has been floated. The expansion is legally possible, as the size of the court isn’t fixed by the U.S. Constitution and the current number of nine justices is a 150-year-old convention....
