Shortly after Donald Trump declared victory in November, NSO Group cofounder and majority owner Omri Lavie rushed to X to congratulate him, speaking of a “new chapter where the world goes back to common sense,” while accusing the outgoing Biden administration of being “weak.” In another tweet, he gushed in Hebrew that Republicans “won in every category: the presidency, Congress, Senate, and the popular vote.” Lavie’s enthusiasm is understandable.

Honorable Mentions We’ve tried so many sunglasses that not every pair can take a top spot. Here are some of the many pairs we've tested over the years that didn’t quite make the cut: Photograph: Ombraz Ombraz Armless Sunglasses for $160: Ombraz has a recycled nylon cord that meets in the back with two strong beads. You pull the beads to tighten the fit and pull the cord to loosen it, but it shouldn't come apart. That way, when you aren't wearing them, you can let them dangle around your neck.

On Monday, Meta will face the Federal Trade Commission in a legal fight that could reshape the social media landscape. Over the next two months, the US government will make its case that the company’s 2012 acquisition of Instagram and 2014 acquisition of WhatsApp squashed potential threats to its dominance. Meta, which went by the name of Facebook at the time, will defend itself by arguing that it helped grow those acquisitions into large businesses used by billions of people while facing plent
