According to multiple reports, Berhalter’s handling of current USMNT winger Gio Reyna during and after the World Cup, where the player saw limited playing time, prompted Reyna’s parents — Claudio Reyna, who was a teammate of Berhalter’s with the USA, and Danielle Reyna, a former teammate of Berhalter’s wife at the University of North Carolina — to take up the issue with USMNT brass and ultimately report a 1991 domestic violence incident involving Berhalter and his current wife....

Sanders praised the move after Biden revealed his plan in prepared remarks following a meeting with top union and business leaders on Monday—including the CEO of General Motors and the president of United Auto Workers....

Over 60 percent of the American people think that is where we should go. And that’s what I want to see.” Congressional Democrats are working hard to keep their $15 federal minimum wage proposal in President Joe Biden’s $1....

In an op-ed for The Guardian, the Vermont independent lawmaker said Russian President Vladimir Putin was “most responsible” for the threat of war and that the U.S. must “unequivocally support” Ukraine’s sovereignty. Sanders said that while it was important for the international community “to impose severe consequences” on Putin should Russia invade, he wrote, “I am extremely concerned when I hear the familiar drum beats in Washington.” He said that he feared the “bellicose rhetoric that gets amplified before every war, demanding that we must ‘show strength,’ ‘get tough’ and not engage in ‘appeasement....

Whatever you saw, you probably didn’t walk away unaffected. Even a shredded version of “Metropolis” is still capable of awing the most sophisticated modern viewer (not least because this futuristic fantasy is so prescient about the future–not a few of the designs put forth for the World Trade Center site could have been lifted straight from Lang’s sets). True, no film could look more dated. But its operatic acting, its German Expressionist style and its biblical allegories made it look old-fashioned and kitschy the day it appeared....
