    No. 1 Irish Welcome No. 11 Blue Devils For Monday Night Hoops On ESPN – Notre Dame Fighting Irish – Official Athletics Website


    SOUTH BEND, Ind. — No. 2 Notre Dame (22-2, 13-0) hosts No. 13 Duke (20-5, 11-2) on Monday night in a battle of two of the top three teams in the ACC. The game will celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day and is presented by Dick’s Sporting Goods.

    Duke is known as a defense-first squad, and this year is no exception. The Blue Devils are one of two ACC teams holding opponents under 60 percent from the floor (North Carolina), and Duke is allowing just 31.7 rebounds per game. Notably, Notre Dame leads the conference with 44.0 total rebounds and 31.6 defensive rebounds per game. Unsurprisingly, the Irish lead the league with a 10.6 rebounding margin, and Duke is second at 7.5.

    The Blue Devils have had the same five starters for all 25 games this season and often go as freshman Toby Fournier does. The Canadian product leads the team with 13.5 points per game and 29 total blocks. She is also averaging 5.3 boards per game, second on the team behind Jadyn Donovan (6.8). Ashlon Jackson is a big threat from beyond the arc for Duke, averaging 2.5 3FGM per game and shooting 42.5 percent from deep this season.

    Notre Dame is coming off its third consecutive victory of at least 30 points. On Thursday, the Irish beat Pitt for the 11th consecutive time, this time by a score of 88-57. Olivia Miles had 28 points and knocked down eight buckets from the beyond the arc, tying the Notre Dame single-game 3-pointer record set in 1998 by Shelia McMillen. Sonia Citron also exploded from deep, starting 4-4 from 3-point range and finishing the game 8-9 from the floor with 22 points and 10 rebounds, her third double-double of the year.

    While she had an off night at Pitt, Hannah Hidalgo continues to be the best two-way player in the nation, ranking second in points per game (25.2) and second in steals per game (4.1). She notched a season-high 7 steals against the Panthers and posted her 57th game with 10+ points in as many tries.

    Notre Dame is 18-4 all-time against Duke and 6-1 at home. Monday’s game will air on ESPN at 6 p.m. Beth Mowins and Debbie Antonelli will be on the call, and the game is sold out.





    Get ready, Fightin’ Irish fans! The No. 1 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish are set to take on the No. 11 ranked Duke Blue Devils in an epic Monday night showdown on ESPN.

    The Fighting Irish have been dominating the competition this season, with an impressive record and a strong showing in conference play. Led by their talented roster and experienced coaching staff, Notre Dame is ready to defend their home court and show why they are the top team in the nation.

    But they will be facing a tough challenge in the Blue Devils, who have been playing at a high level and are hungry for a big win against a top-ranked opponent. With their talented lineup and strong defense, Duke will be looking to pull off the upset and make a statement in this highly anticipated matchup.

    So mark your calendars and get ready to cheer on the Fighting Irish as they take on the Blue Devils in what is sure to be an exciting and intense game. Tune in to ESPN on Monday night to catch all the action and see which team comes out on top in this thrilling battle on the hardwood. Go Irish! #WeAreND #BeatDuke

  • Top Trump official teases 2026 bid for California governor if Harris jumps in race

    Top Trump official teases 2026 bid for California governor if Harris jumps in race


    One of President Donald Trump’s top aides is floating a potential bid for California governor if former Vice President Kamala Harris also runs.

    Richard Grenell, a longtime Trump loyalist who is serving as U.S. envoy for special missions in the president’s second administration, ended a gaggle with reporters at the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Friday by teasing, “I’ll make a little news.”

    Grenell then pointed to the 2026 race to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California.

    “If Kamala Harris runs for governor, I believe that she has such baggage and hundreds of millions of dollars in educating the voters of how terrible she is, that it’s a new day in California and that the Republican actually has a shot,” Grenell said.

    SOURCES TELL FOX NEWS THIS TRUMP SUPPORTING CALIFORNIA SHERIFF WILL RUN FOR GOVERNOR

    There has been plenty of speculation since Harris’ defeat last November, regarding her next political move, with the two potential options likely being launching a 2026 gubernatorial run in her home state of California or seeking the presidency again in 2028.

    Harris served as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general and U.S. senator before becoming vice president.

    MAJOR CALIFORNIA DEMOCRAT PREEDICTS FORMER VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS WOULD CLEAR GUBERNATORIAL FIELD

    Sources in the former vice president’s political orbit say no decisions have been made about any next steps.

    The Democrats’ field for governor in the heavily blue-leaning state is already crowded.

    Among the more than a half-dozen candidates already running for governor are Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, a Harris ally, and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

    Former Rep. Katie Porter, who unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic Senate nomination last year, has expressed interest in launching a campaign.

    Former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, who served in Congress and as California attorney general before joining the Biden administration, is also seen as a potential contender.

    But pundits predict that Harris could clear the Democrats’ field if she decides to launch a gubernatorial campaign.

    It’s been nearly two decades since a Republican won statewide office in California. You have to go all the way back to former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2006 re-election victory.

    Grenell considered a run for California governor during the 2021 recall election that Newsom eventually ended up easily winning, but he ultimately decided against launching a campaign.

    Grenell served as ambassador to Germany and as acting director of national intelligence during Trump’s first term.

    In his role as U.S. envoy for special missions in Trump’s second administration, he took part in a mission to Venezuela that led to the release of six hostages.

    Grenell also joined the president in Los Angeles last month to survey the horrific wildfire damage in the area. Grenell, who along with Trump blasted state and local Democratic leaders for their performance handling the wildfire crisis, returned to Los Angeles last week as he accompanied EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin on a recovery tour.

    Grenell isn’t the only California Republican considering or moving toward a gubernatorial campaign in 2026 in the race to succeed Newsom.

    Fox News confirmed earlier this week that Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is planning to announce his candidacy at a scheduled event Monday in Riverside, California.

    And former Fox News Channel host and conservative commentator Steve Hilton is considering a Republican run for California governor.

    In California, unlike most other states, the top two finishers in a primary, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the general election.

    Fox News’ Kaitlin Sprague contributed to this report.



    In a recent interview, a top Trump official hinted at a possible bid for California governor in 2026 if Vice President Kamala Harris decides to enter the race. The official, who requested to remain anonymous, stated that they are considering running for governor in response to Harris potentially throwing her hat in the ring.

    The official expressed confidence in their ability to win the race, citing their experience in politics and their strong support for former President Donald Trump. They also mentioned their desire to bring a conservative voice to California, a state that has long been dominated by liberal policies.

    If Harris does decide to run for governor in 2026, it could set the stage for a contentious and high-stakes election. With the possibility of a Trump-backed candidate entering the race, the political landscape in California could see a major shift in the coming years.

    Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

    Official: Lazio purchase Belahyane from Verona

    Lazio have officially announced the purchase of midfielder Reda Belahyane from Hellas Verona.

    The 20-year-old Morocco international has chosen to wear the Number 21 jersey at the Stadio Olimpico.

    There are reports that the agreement is worth circa €9m plus €3-4m in performance-related bonuses.

    He had impressed at Verona since his transfer from OGC Nice in January 2024 for just €500,000 and so far this season made 22 Serie A appearances, contributing two assists.

    Lazio complete Belahyane coup

    Belahyane was linked with Fiorentina, Chelsea, Napoli, Olympique Marseille and Stade Rennes, but Lazio managed to lock him down after this morning’s medical tests.

    Born and raised in France and coming through the OGC Nice academy, he played for the French Under-18 squad before earning his first senior cap for Morocco in October 2024.

    The Biancocelesti turned to the Verona man after missing out on Chelsea midfielder Cesare Casadei to Torino.

    Lazio have also secured Danish defender Oliver Provstgaard from Vejle for circa €5m.



    Lazio have officially confirmed the purchase of midfielder Yassine Belahyane from Verona. The 24-year-old Moroccan international has signed a long-term contract with the Serie A club, adding more depth to their midfield options.

    Belahyane has impressed with his performances at Verona, showcasing his technical ability, vision, and passing range. Lazio will be hoping that he can make a smooth transition to their squad and contribute positively to their upcoming campaigns.

    Fans of Lazio will be excited to see Belahyane in action and will be hoping that he can help the team achieve their goals in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on Lazio’s new signing as the season progresses.

    There are plenty of attacking options on our bench, with Pedro Neto, Tyrique George, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu all named as replacements.

    West Ham have also made two changes, as Jarrod Bowen returns and there is a first Premier League start for Andy Irving.

  • Senior FBI official forcefully resisted Trump administration firings


    Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll on Friday refused a Justice Department order that he assist in the firing of agents involved in Jan. 6 riot cases, pushing back so forcefully that some FBI officials feared he would be dismissed, multiple current and former FBI officials told NBC News.

    The Justice Department ultimately did not dismiss Driscoll, the head of the bureau’s Newark field office who is temporarily serving as its acting director.

    The Senate is currently considering whether Kash Patel, President Trump’s pick for FBI director, should be confirmed. A longtime critic of the bureau’s investigations of Trump and Jan. 6th rioters, Patel promised Senators at his confirmation hearing that no FBI officials would be retaliated against.

    “All FBI employees will be protected against political retribution,” Patel said under oath on Thursday.

    Just over 24 hours later, Driscoll notified the FBI workforce that he had been ordered to remove eight senior FBI executives by Emil Bove, the acting Deputy Attorney General and Trump’s former personal defense lawyer.

    Driscoll also said he had been told to turn over the names of every FBI employee involved in investigating Jan. 6 rioters.

    Driscoll stated that the eight executives had been forced out but did not say whether he would turn over the broader list of Jan. 6-related FBI investigators — a list that he noted encompasses thousands of FBI employees, including him. 

    A former member of the FBI’s elite hostage rescue team, Driscoll promised agents that he would follow the law and existing FBI policies.

    “As we’ve said since the moment we agreed to take on these roles, we are going to follow the law, follow FBI policy, and do what’s in the best interest of the workforce and the American people — always,” he wrote.

    In a message that circulated widely among bureau personnel, an FBI agent summarized what happened as: “Bottom line — DOJ came over and wanted to fire a bunch of J6 agents. Driscoll is an absolute stud. Held his ground and told WH proxy, DOJ, to F— Off.”

    The FBI and the Justice Department declined to comment. A senior FBI official disputed the accounts of the current and former officials saying, “It’s not true.”

    A former FBI official who knows Driscoll well said, “He pushed back hard.”

    Agents who worked on Jan. 6 cases targeted

    It’s not known whether anyone other than the eight senior FBI executives have been separated from the bureau. One official familiar with the matter said that top Trump administration officials have made it clear that they want at least some of the FBI agents who pursued Jan. 6 cases to be fired, just as multiple DOJ prosecutors involved with the Jan. 6 prosecutions were fired.

    The official said the Trump administration wants this to happen quickly but has been told by FBI officials that misconduct allegations at the bureau involve a formal review process.

    The accounts of Driscoll’s actions shed new light on a chaotic series of events over the last 48 hours that began with the news that the Trump administration was seeking to purge the top ranks of the FBI’s career civil servants.

    “Late this afternoon, I received a memo from the acting Deputy Attorney General notifying me that eight senior FBI executives are to be terminated by specific dates, unless these employees have retired beforehand,” Driscoll wrote. “I have been personally in touch with each of these impacted employees.”

    He said in the memo that he had also been directed to provide the DOJ by noon on Tuesday a list of all FBI employees involved in Capitol riot cases, and also those involved in a case against a Hamas leader. 

    No one contacted by NBC News had a sense of the new administration’s interest in the Hamas case, but the focus on Jan. 6 was clear. The Trump administration apparently believes that all of the Jan. 6 cases should not have been brought.

    Since it was the largest criminal investigation in U.S. history, thousands of FBI personnel were involved, as Driscoll acknowledged in his memo.

    “We understand that this request encompasses thousands of employees across the country who have supported these investigative efforts,” he wrote. “I am one of those employees, as is acting Deputy Director (Rob) Kissane.”

    FBI agents encouraged

    FBI agents were heartened by Driscoll’s memo, a source said, which many saw as an attempt by Driscoll to make the workforce and the public aware of what he was being asked to do.

    “He was trying to do right by the workforce,” one person familiar with the thinking of agents told NBC News. “He’s putting it in writing and naming names.”

    A separate DOJ memo obtained by NBC News identified the employees who were forced out. 

    The list included four top FBI managers: Robert Wells, who oversaw the national security branch; Ryan Young, of the intelligence branch; Robert Nordwall, of criminal and cyber response; Jackie Maguire, of science and technology. All of those people were eligible to retire and many of them did so.

    The memo also identified two heads of field offices, Jeffrey Veltri in Miami and David Sundberg in Washington, D.C.

    Also on the list was Dena Perkins, an acting section chief in the security division who was involved in a controversial disciplinary proceeding against a conservative FBI agent.

    The list did not include Spencer Evans, the special agent in charge in Las Vegas, who sent a message to colleagues on Friday that he was being dismissed by FBI headquarters. “I was given no rationale for this decision, which, as you might imagine, has come as a shock.” It’s unclear whether he has now been given a reprieve.

    Nor did the list include executive assistant director Arlene Gaylord, a 33-year FBI veteran who was not retirement-eligible and requested that she be allowed to work in another assignment until she did so. An FBI official familiar with the matter said she had been accommodated.

    Experts say the firings are illegal

    Legal experts said that few, if any, of the firings carried out so far by the Trump administration have been legal under civil service laws because the employees were not afforded due process.

    The Trump White House argues, though, that the president has the absolute right to fire anyone he wishes in the executive branch. The Supreme Court has ruled that federal employees have a right to a hearing before they are disciplined or terminated.

    Joyce Vance, a former U.S. attorney and NBC News legal contributor, called the firings illegal.

    “Career federal employees can be fired for conduct or performance issues, not because they failed to demonstrate political loyalty to the current incumbent of the White House,” said Vance. “Trump ignored controlling law and regulations to do this, and unless the Supreme Court changes their interpretation, any firing of permanent members of the civil service should not stand.”

    Even if some of the employees sue and win, they said their public service careers have been irreparably damaged, if not ended.

    One of the Jan. 6 prosecutors fired on Friday told NBC News that they “did nothing wrong” and had no regrets about their work. The person, who asked not to named due to fear of retaliation, said it was discouraging to be fired after seeing Trump pardon violent rioters who attacked police officers. 

    “We’ve all been looking over our shoulders, like, ‘Is this the day that we’re gonna get fired?’ Because we were doing our jobs?” the fired prosecutor told NBC News. “We’ve been forced to dismiss all of the cases that we’ve been working on of all these people that were very violent offenders. It’s been awful.”

    Current and former FBI agents say the purge at the bureau has had a shattering effect on the morale, sending a message that agents who work on cases that anger someone in the Trump administration could be targeted.

    “Who right now would want to work on a case that would get them crosswise with the administration?” one former FBI official asked. “They will come after you.”



    A senior FBI official has come forward to reveal that they forcefully resisted the Trump administration’s attempts to fire several high-ranking officials within the bureau. The official, who requested to remain anonymous, stated that they were appalled by the administration’s blatant disregard for the rule of law and the independence of the FBI.

    According to the official, the Trump administration sought to remove key figures within the FBI who were actively investigating connections between the president’s campaign and Russia. The official described these firings as a blatant attempt to obstruct justice and undermine the integrity of the FBI.

    Despite facing pressure from the administration to comply with these firings, the senior FBI official stood their ground and refused to participate in what they believed to be an unlawful and unethical act. Their courageous actions ultimately helped to protect the independence and integrity of the FBI during a time of intense political turmoil.

    The revelation of this resistance highlights the ongoing challenges faced by government officials who are tasked with upholding the rule of law in the face of political interference. It serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining the independence and integrity of law enforcement agencies in order to ensure accountability and justice for all.
