Lobbyist And Government Contractor Bought JD Vance’s Home For $170,000 Over Asking Price

I’m proud to announce that I have eliminated ordering takeout from my budget. This will save me an estimated $500 million dollars a year.

Don’t bother to check my math, I had the DOGE guys calculate it for me

The Phillies don’t want to move Bryce Harper back to the outfield. Given the free-agent alternatives to Juan Soto, maybe they should.

"Very unfortunate, for the man first and the teammate second."

"We're gonna rally right behind him and have his back."
