It is accompanied by a declaration from a genocide expert who describes Israel’s actions as signs of genocide and argues that the Biden administration has breached its duty under international law to prevent it. “Under international law, the United States has a duty to take all measures available to it to prevent a genocide. Yet, Defendants have repeatedly refused to use their obvious and considerable influence to set con...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are running out of time to salvage this season. The Titans (3-6) have lost two straight and four of five after a 20-6 loss in Tampa Bay.

This year, the AFC North may be tougher than ever — the Bengals are in last place — and Cincinnati’s remaining schedule includes rematches with Baltimore and Cleveland and two games against Pittsburgh.In other words, the Bengals really could have used a win against rookie sensation C.J.
