Vivek Ramaswamy thinks he is too good to spend Labor Day Weekend in Ohio, instead jetting off in his private plane to watch the US Open in VIP seating with his billionaire friends.
Joe Torre — a quietly confident baseball voice — is raising awareness for domestic violence, an issue he saw growing up with his dad to his mom. “Just a lot of fear for me. I was a nervous kid growing up. Baseball, I think, saved my life because I had a place to hide.”

Trump continues to disperse disaster recovery funds based on how states vote, which for any other president or public official, in any other time, in any other country, in any other context would be a morally horrific scandal that would dominate headlines for months.
POLITICO Pro: Trump rejects disaster appeals by four Democratic governors
New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island will have to pay the entire cost of recovery from a major February snowstorm.

Newsom: "Look what happened in Vietnam. They got slapped with a 46% tariff. Until they didn't. Because Eric Trump visited Vietnam in the middle of negotiations. Met with the prime minister, who had a press conference with Eric Trump announcing they had just approved a new golf course in record time"
"Trump told the New York Times in January that the only limits on his power are “my own morality, my own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” Clearly, he has no decency or morality. Deportations of Haitians who have neither committed nor been accused of any crime have already begun. . ."

The most dangerous person is the moron who thinks he knows everything with the ability to wreck the fortunes of a country and harm its people. We’ve had many bad presidents, but there was just nobody close to this bad.
Anyone or any country that has access should release the Epstein files in full, only REDACTING the victims (children who were sexually assaulted) and leaving the perpetrators UNREDACTED. Everyone needs to know the names of the scum.
