McRaven, in a June 26 Atlantic op-ed, listed nine other top officers removed since Trump took office in 2025 and urged explanations, praising Donahue's strategic focus and courage. Critics like Senator Thom Tillis label it paranoid loyalty tests, while supporters see it as removing 'woke' influences to prioritize warfighting amid wars in Iran and Ukraine aid.

The 33-year-old Ghanaian midfielder joined Villarreal last summer on a one-year deal with an extension option, playing 32 times as they earned their best La Liga finish in 13 years and a Champions League spot. Villarreal opted against the extension, leaving Partey clubless when his contract ends June 30, with no official reason given though his ongoing UK rape and sexual assault charges—trial set for June 2027—likely factored in alongside his age. Partey, Ghana's vice-captain, misses today's World Cup opener against Panama due to a failed visa appeal tied to those proceedings, but holds a US visa for later group games against England and Croatia.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Thomas Partey shone for Villarreal this season, helping them secure third in La Liga. But with his contract expiring and a serious legal case hanging over him, the club chose not to extend it.

In a 10-1 vote, the WIAA Board of Control approved mutual use of the 35-second shot clock for boys' and girls' varsity non-conference games starting in the 2026-27 season, with full implementation across all varsity games proposed for 2028-29 pending a membership vote. Equipment costs of $3,000 to $10,000 per gym fueled past rejections, including a 2017 approval that was later rescinded and recent survey support at 57% overall but lower in smaller divisions. The move aligns Wisconsin with over 30 states using shot clocks, promising faster paces and better college prep, though some worry about budget strains on small schools. Other changes include a new divisional model and JV playing rules, but no state tournament expansion.

These yeasts, like Glaciozyma watsonii, were cultured in the lab, revealing Ötzi as a dynamic ecosystem rather than a static relic. The findings, published June 3 in Microbiome, could aid ancient health research, cold-tolerant biotech, and better mummy preservation at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology.
