Research indicates that children usually do better if they can remain with their own families....
She is not alone. With the battle against the Taliban entering its final rounds, Afghanistan’s women are moving from shadows to substance. After nearly a quarter century of relentless war, they outnumber Afghan men by a ratio of roughly three to two. But even that figure doesn’t do justice to their importance to the country’s next phase. Throughout the long war, it has been the women who have been responsible for food, shelter and other basic human needs....
Despite wins over the Clippers and Nuggets, there remain legitimate reasons to be skeptical of a Warriors team that looks nothing like the world-beaters from the first month of the season. 20 games in, the Warriors sat at 18-2 with #NBAtwitter crowning Stephen Curry the presumptive MVP and placing the Warriors on a pedestal as title favorites. Now, Golden State finds itself holding on for dear life in the race for second in the Western Conference and is just 4-9 dating back to Feb....

Newton went from competing for the job with rookie first-round pick Mac Jones to Bill Belichick and New England not wanting him even as a No. 2 to support Jones. Beyond the initial shock of the unorthodox big-name final cut, there were several good reasons for the Patriots to take Newton off the regular-season roster.

In January, two months before Biden signed the latest stimulus package into law, 53 House Democrats pressed Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for recurring stimulus checks in a letter, where they insisted that “one more check is not enough.” “It was very encouraging to see the inclusion of direct cash assistance in your current economic rescue plan. However it is clear that during this unprecedented time in our nation’s history that we must take additional unprecedented action,” the group said....
Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Brian Kilmeade made headlines Tuesday after the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack read various texts from each of them that were sent during the insurrection to Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows. These texts were produced by Meadows as the committee voted on whether to hold Trump’s former top advisor in contempt of Congress for ignoring a congressional subpoena. Some of the contents of the texts were read out at the committee meeting by Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo....
“Trump’s ‘go back’ comments were nativist, xenophobic, counterfactul [sic] and politically stupid,” Hume wrote in a Monday twitter post. “But they simply do not meet the standard definition of racist, a word so recklessly flung around these days that its actual meaning is being lost,” the veteran journalist asserted. Hume was referring to Trump’s Sunday tirade, in which the president argued that progressive Democratic congresswomen should “go back” to the “totally broken and crime infested” countries “from which they came....
Zakrzewski died after his vehicle came under fire Monday in Horenka, a village outside of Kyiv. At the time, Zakrzewski was news-gathering in the area with fellow Fox News journalist Benjamin Hall, who was hospitalized for injuries from the same incident.

Renaud was fatally shot by Russian troops while working on a Time magazine assignment, and fellow journalist Juan Arredondo was injured in the same attack....
Jenkins appeared on the morning show to discuss his recent reporting in the Los Angeles County, California, where he accompanied ICE agents as they attempted to make arrests. Los Angeles declared itself a sanctuary city earlier this year. The state already had a law, Senate Bill 54, which prevents state and local law enforcement agencies from using “money or personnel to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes....
“She’s a valedictorian who ended up at Yale. Things could be worse,” Kilmeade said during a segment of Fox & Friends on Wednesday. The remark came as the Fox News morning show’s panel discussed a controversial article published by The New York Times, which initially left out key details that shed doubt on some of the article’s allegations against Kavanaugh. The journalists behind the essay interviewed Ramirez and highlighted her claims that a drunken Kavanaugh pulled down his pants and shoved his penis into her face during a party while they attending classes at Yale....
“Now, the president had over 100,000 people wanting to get into the stadium tonight,” Hannity said on his Tuesday evening show. “Well, over,” he insisted. Trump held the rally alongside Jeff Van Drew, who represents New Jersey’s 2nd District in the House and switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican in December over his objections to the House’s impeachment vote. Ahead of the event, Van Drew told Fox News that more than 100,000 tickets had been requested for the event, but this number has not been independently verified....
“I don’t know how they can get around it,” Napolitano, who previously served as New Jersey superior court judge, said during a Tuesday segment of Fox & Friends. “I’m fascinated and anxious to see what argument they’re going to come up with because you cannot create an argument as an afterthought,” he explained. “You can’t have a rationalization to justify government behavior after the behavior has taken place.” Napolitano also pointed out that attorneys for the Justice Department “cannot contradict what they said earlier,” explaining that Trump “got them in a little bit of trouble” on that end....
The poll, which randomly surveyed more than 1,300 registered voters between June 13-16, shows that 45 percent of registered voters strongly approved of Trump’s job performance overall, while 55 percent strongly disapproved.

The president’s rating with white voters was nearly evenly split, with 52 percent approval and 48 percent disapproval....
In an article published by Fox News on Monday, Reed said that some of the factors that helped Trump win four years ago are this time around shifting in Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s favor. Though some political strategists have said support for the president is much stronger now than it was in 2016, most national and swing state polls conducted in recent weeks have shown Biden with a lead over the president....
Macron—who is facing a tightening re-election contest this weekend—told Le Parisien in an interview published on Friday that the peace that will follow the ongoing war requires guarantors, among them France. “At some point, a ceasefire will be declared, and we will need to build peace,” Macron said. “This cannot be done without a guarantor, and France has the vocation to be one of those guarantors.” Ukrainian officials have touted the U....

Olivier Giroud and Thomas Lemar put the home side 2-0 up after 28 minutes at the Stade de France in Friday’s friendly, but goals from Luis Muriel, Radamel Falcao and Juan Quintero secured a memorable comeback for the visitors.
