NSO Group is objectively awful. For years — with the assistance of the Israeli government — NSO sold to whoever wanted powerful phone exploits to deploy against targets.

Who says St. Louis isn’t a soccer city? Not many can — especially after St. Louis tuned in in droves to watch Saturday’s World Cup contest between the United States Men's National Team and the Netherlands.

Police in Springfield, Missouri, are investigating after a swastika was sprayed on an elementary school during a vandalism spree.
