A herd of officials urged Senate leaders on Thursday to hold a closed-door hearing to siphon through Tulsi Gabbard's government records. , a former Democratic presidential candidate and member of Congress, to be his national intelligence director, saying she will bring a "fearless spirit" to the critical role. But in a letter addressed to Sens. John Thune, R-S.D., and Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who will lead their parties next year in the upper chamber, the former officials said they are "alarmed" at the idea of Gabbard overseeing all 18 U.S. intelligence agencies. "Several of Ms. Gabbard’s past actions call into question her ability to deliver unbiased intelligence briefings to the President, Congress and to the entire national security apparatus," the group alleged. The officials signing the letter included ex-CIA officers, former deputy secretaries of state and retired military service members who worked in Democratic and Republican administrations. They specifically called attention to Gabbard's trip to Syria in 2017, when she . That trip angered many Democrats at the time, who felt it legitimized Assad, who was being accused of war crimes against a popular uprising backed by Iran and Russia. The letter also targeted her past statements that critics say echo . "Her sympathy for dictators like Vladimir Putin and Assad raises questions about her judgment and fitness," the group alleged in the letter. Russian state TV has praised Gabbard on several occasions, but in a statement to USA TODAY, Trump transition team spokesperson Alexa Henning defended the former congresswoman, saying the letter to Senate leaders is a "perfect example" of why she was chosen for the role of national intelligence director. "These unfounded attacks are from the same geniuses who have blood on their hands from decades of faulty 'intelligence,' including the ," Henning said. "These intel officials continue to use classification as a partisan weapon to smear and imply things about their political enemy without putting the facts out." Gabbard, 43, represented Hawaii as a Democrat in the House, where she was once considered a rising star by progressives mainly due to her opposition to the Iraq War as a retired Army officer. She ran for president in the 2020 primary, but citing repeated rifts with the Democratic establishment she eventually before registering as a Republican this year. Gabbard served in two tours of duty in the Middle East and cited rising international conflicts as the reason she for president earlier this year. Political observers believe confirming Gabbard will require a heavier lift in the Senate compared to others, especially among hawkish Republicans who could oppose the choice. But the former congresswoman is well-liked among Trump's base and by more isolationist-leaning GOP lawmakers. "The uproar from the uniparty over Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to be Director of National Intelligence simply proves she’s the perfect choice," Sen. Ron via X. "I look forward to voting in favor of her confirmation."The 24-year-old's contract situation has been a source of concern for Barcelona, who are keen to avoid losing a player of his talent for free.

This would be a major blow for the Catalan giants, who have invested significant resources in developing the young winger. Losing Dembele for nothing would not only dent Barcelona's reputation but also leave a void in their attacking lineup that would be difficult to fill.
Alberta RCMP are investigating the death of a fighter following a charity mixed martial arts event outside Edmonton on Saturday. The 33-year-old Edmonton man died after participating in the combative sports event at a community centre in Enoch, Alta., on Edmonton's western outskirts, RCMP said. Police said they were informed Monday morning that the fighter had died sometime after his Saturday evening bout. RCMP Cpl. Troy Savinkoff said investigators are reviewing the circumstances of the death. Details are limited as the investigation is in its early stages, he said Tuesday. The death followed the release of a fatality inquiry report earlier this month into the death of fighter Tim Hague, who died following a match in Edmonton in 2017. The judge's report called for sweeping changes to the way combative sports are regulated in Alberta. Inquiry into death of fighter calls for Alberta to regulate bouts, enforce stronger oversights According to online ads for Saturday's event and competitors who took part, the amateur fight, organized by Ultra MMA, featured around 36 novice fighters. The U.K.-based company encourages new fighters to participate in the sport. Its website offers novice competitors the opportunity to fight in a "glamorous black-tie event" following two months of free training with a local gym. The training involves two sessions a week, and competitors must participate in at least half of the sessions to be allowed into the cage, the company says on its website. It promises fighters access to the same medical care and regulation they would have at professional events. In a statement to CBC, company officials offered condolences to the fighter's family. According to the statement, the event was sanctioned by a municipal combative sports commission from central Alberta. "Ultra Events Canada will, of course, offer his family and friends any support we can at this very sad time," the statement said. "With investigations now underway into the cause of our participant's death, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage." Other fighters have questions Fighters who signed on to compete in Saturday's event have questions about how the fight was regulated and organized, and the level of medical supervision afforded to the man who died. Most professional fights are supervised by a regulatory body to guarantee the safety of fighters. Supervising authorities set rules and oversee medical care for competitors. Alberta is the only province that puts combative sports commissions under municipal jurisdiction. City of Edmonton seeks dismissal of $5M lawsuit connected to boxer's death Charles Proulx, who competed in a handful of MMA matches as a teen, was supposed to compete on Saturday. But the event was called off after the fighter who later died was carried out of the ring, he said. Proulx said he trained alongside the man and described him as a friendly, energetic person who was eager to compete. They often sparred together and Proulx said he was a "good vibes" person who motivated others. Proulx, like the other fighters on the card, had signed on for the two months of free training sessions. He had been dieting, training and cutting weight. Proulx had only competed in a handful of MMA matches as a teen but felt excited to fight again. 'Bad condition' Proulx said he came into the arena partway through the match and saw that his new friend was in "bad condition." "I thought it was just because of bad cardio," he said. "It's hard to carry that much muscle. "I thought he was gassing out normally like any big guy would but at the third round, it really went bad. He was not answering many of the punches." He said at one point the man was put in an armbar hold by his opponent but the fight continued. "His energy level was dropping rapidly but he didn't tap out," Proulx recalled. "In the end, he asked to sit down and was carried out of the ring. "Not too long after that, the commissioner told us there will be no other fights tonight." Proulx said he wants the fight investigated. He has questions about how the event was sanctioned and how the safety of fighters was maintained. "I just want to make sure that this type of incident doesn't happen ever again," he said. Calls for further investigation Natalija Rajkovic also trained to compete on Saturday. It would have been her first MMA bout. Rajkovic said she met the fighter who died through their shared training sessions. She described him as a family man who was full of energy and always smiling. She said most of the competitors were first-time fighters. She said she felt the training they were offered was insufficient preparation for people entering the cage. "Everything seemed fine at the beginning for training.," she said. "We were just doing a charity event, so no one expects it to be super crazy. "But then when you get to the event, things just started to not make sense." She said she had concerns about medical supervision and how the matches were regulated to ensure a "fair fight." She said the public and the man's family deserve clarity on how the fight was sanctioned and what may have gone wrong. "I knew what I was getting into when I signed up. I knew that it could be dangerous as well. But with that being said, there should never be a result like this."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Whoever ends up coaching the Jacksonville Jaguars next season, receiver Brian Thomas Jr. will be the team's most dynamic rebuilding piece. Mac Jones threw two touchdown passes, including his fifth in as many games to Thomas , and the Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans 20-13 in the rain Sunday to sweep the season series for just the fourth time in 30 years. Jones completed 15 of 22 passes for 174 yards, with most of those going to Thomas. The first-round draft pick from LSU finished with seven receptions for 91 yards. His 11-yard TD catch with 7:05 remaining gave him his eighth game with at least 60 yards and a score, tying him with Hall of Famer Randy Moss for the most by a rookie in NFL history . “Brian just keeps impressing each week,” said Jaguars coach Doug Pederson, whose future with the team remains cloudy. “You can't say enough good things about Brian.” Thomas also became the fifth player in Jaguars history with double-digit TD receptions in a single season, joining Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns, Marcedes Lewis and Reggie Williams. “It's definitely a great feeling to be able to do some of the things I did," Thomas said. “I don't even know all of them. But some of them I heard, just a great accomplishment.” The Titans (3-13) improved their position for the 2025 NFL draft — a potential chance to land a franchise quarterback — and secured last place in the AFC South. The Jaguars (4-12) guaranteed themselves third in the division. There was little else at stake in this Week 17 matchup. Jacksonville looked as if it might make it a blowout, but Pederson’s squad settled for field goals while building a 13-0 lead early. The Titans got back in it with an 85-yard drive to start the second half, which ended with Mason Rudolph’s 8-yard TD pass to a wide-open Nick Vannett. Tennessee kicked a field goal late to make it a seven-point game and got the ball back with 1:29 remaining. Rudolph drove the Titans to the Jacksonville 26, but safety Antonio Johnson knocked down his fourth down pass at the goal line to end it. “He was staring down the receiver the whole time," said Johnson, who was benched earlier this season. “Once I saw him pull the pin, I just broke on it and just got the ball on the ground. ... To seal the game felt good.” Rudolph completed 19 of 31 passes for 193 yards, with the touchdown and an interception in his second consecutive start in place of Will Levis. The Titans have lost five in a row and seven of eight. “I hope they’re not numb to it," coach Brian Callahan said. "I sure am not. ... It’s terrible. There’s no joy in this process. There’s no fun in this. It’s terrible. I feel it every day I walk into work. I feel it every day I stand up here in front of you guys. "Nothing is enjoyable about this, so I don’t get numb to any of it, and I hope nobody gets numb to it. And our job is to try to fix it. We’ll do whatever we can do to fix whatever problems we got to fix, to add whatever players we have to add, to make sure that we have a better football team moving forward.” Jacksonville’s Josh Hines-Allen moved a step closer to the franchise sack record. Hines-Allen sacked Rudolph in the third quarter, giving him 53 for his career and leaving him two shy of tying Tony Brackens’ team mark. Boris Cheek became the NFL’s all-time leader in games officiated when he took the field for the Titans-Jaguars game. Cheek officiated his 461st game over 29 seasons, passing Walt Coleman for the top spot. Coleman officiated 460 games over 30 seasons until his retirement in 2018. Titans running back Tyjae Spears was evaluated for a concussion late in the third quarter. Spears, who wears a protective “guardian cap” over his helmet to help prevent head injuries, ran 20 times for 95 yards. Tennessee had to turn to third-string right tackle John Ojukwu after backup Jaelyn Duncan left in the first half with a shoulder injury. Duncan started in place of Nicholas Petit-Frere, who was benched last week and inactive against Jacksonville. Jaguars right guard Brandon Scherff (shoulder) left in the second quarter but returned on the next series. Titans finish the season next weekend against division champion Houston. Jaguars play at Indianapolis next weekend to close out another year with double-digit losses. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
