How the East Palestine derailment became a showcase for J.D. Vance’s populism
J.D. Vance had been a member of the Senate only a month when a train carrying dangerous chemicals came off the tracks in the small Ohio town of East Palestine last year.

Radio Host Says Steelers Should ‘Be On The Phone Every Day’ Trying To Acquire Brandon Aiyuk Following Trade Request
Earlier today, we got the first indication of a possible trade involving San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk. There have been reasons to believe his contract negotiations could devolve to this point, but up until today, he had not requested a trade. With that changing, the Aiyuk trade craze is heating back up all around the media landscape. The Steelers, who were mentioned by name as a possible landing spot by Aiyuk himself, have naturally been one of the topics of conversation in this matter.

In the military, I used a gun similar to that of Trump’s shooter. I’m not surprised his shot came so close.
Unless you have been completely offline and utterly avoiding human interaction, you know that on Saturday, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Donald Trump while he spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The attempt failed, and the round fired from Crooks’ AR-pattern rifle—similar to an AR-15—clipped Trump’s ear. Although Trump survived, a bystander was tragically killed, and two more were injured.
