Of course, you have to consider specs like better processors, more storage options, more memory and sometimes better batteries. Although sometimes batteries in mid-range and even budget phones can surprise you. And even though the S26 Ultra can provide superb performance in comparison to the A37, the A37 is definitely good enough for…

Senegal took a huge step towards reaching the knockout rounds of the World Cup as they eased to an historic 5-0 win over 10-man Iraq in their final Group I game. Like their opponents in Toronto, Senegal had suffered defeats to France and Noway in their opening two matches, leaving them needing victory by several goals to have a chance to reaching the round of 32 as one of the eight best third-placed teams.

A new report by a Trump administration commission suggests replacing the idea of separating church and state with the idea of building bridges between them. The assertion — challenging a longstanding concept in American law — comes amid a raft of recommendations in a draft report of the Religious Liberty Commission, released Friday afternoon. The advisory body was created by President Donald Trump last year and filled almost entirely by conservative Christians. The 224-page draft report — part policy document, part philosophical argument — echoes members’ support for a stronger role for religion and religious expression in government, schools and…

Trump’s latest attack on mail-in voting fell apart in court this week. On Thursday, a federal judge blocked the Postal Service from withholding mail-in ballots in states that refuse to give the federal government a list of their voters. The decision struck a major blow to Trump’s plan to seize more federal control over state-run elections. In March, Trump issued an executive order directing the Postal Service to restrict who receives ballots through the mail. The order was a sharp escalation in the administration’s efforts to flex federal power to influence elections, which are conducted by the states. Trump previously…

The Utah judge in the murder case over Charlie Kirk’s killing held prosecutors in contempt of court on Friday over comments they made to media organizations about defendant Tyler Robinson. Judge Tony Graf said the comments violated his restrictions on what the two sides can say about the case outside of court. But Graf denied a defense request to take the death penalty off the table as a sanction for the violation. He said the problem could instead be resolved through the screening and questioning process for potential jurors, which is intended to weed out people who could be biased…
