BLANCHE: "The United States...is hereby FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED from prosecuting or pursuing...examinations or similar or related reviews" against Trump "or related or affiliated individuals," including family members or related companies and trusts.
Breaking NYT:
The Trump Justice Department is dropping Biden-era charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani.
The reversal came after Adani hired a new legal team led by one of Trump's personal lawyers.

Trump brought his All Star Team - Secretaries of State, Defense, & Treasury, along with half a dozen of the most powerful CEOs in America, including the richest person in the world, and Xi dispatched an assistant coach to greet them. Humiliating

And if Julian Sayin had Diego Pavia’s exact stats head be the runaway lock for Heisman.
Comparing College Football Playoff Contenders:

-Notre Dame 42
-Miami 44
Strength of Record:
-Vanderbilt 11
-Notre Dame 13
-Miami 14
How could anyone justify not putting Vanderbilt in the playoff over the other two?
As Trump tries to Putinize the United States, Putin is attempting to turn Russia into North Korea. Foreign adventures are a necessary distraction for a dictatorship, but when they go wrong, further crackdowns are needed to avoid talking about them openly.
