Maybe the NFL will donate the $500,000 fine to East Palestine for the embarrassment. We could use the money.

This photo is from my group of Rotary Foreign Exchange Students in 2001. These 15-18 year olds had been in Ohio <month on 9/11. They all stayed to complete their exchange year. Their Ohio counterparts we sent out all stayed in their new countries. Their parents trusted us to keep them safe. 💙🤍♥️

From NYT, a quote from the Mahoning county sheriff. Asked about the man’s intent, the sheriff said: “I think it was to ask her a couple of questions. He was just, you know, pretty aggressive about it.” (Sheriff Greene has endorsed Dr. Acton’s Republican opponent in the governor’s race.)

Have you seen this? Also, I love how MAGA is trying this shame these people for “impersonating” officers when ICE goons wear no badges, hide their faces, and all look like divorced Dads who are wearing the “Militia Goon” costume they bought at Spirit Halloween that’s 2 sizes too small.

Dylan Byers: NEW: The Maria Bartiromo backstory, per multiple sources familiar....

Maria Bartiromo wanted to pursue a story related to China and 2020 election voting conspiracies... a major sensitivity for the network given its Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits.

A Fox Business executive sent a text to Fox Business producers informing them that that story could not go to air.

Bartiromo took a screen shot of the guidance and sent it to senior White House officials.

Fox News leadership learned about that after receiving a call from the White House, which they viewed as a fireable offense.

Fox pulled Bartiromo from air after Aug. 9. She was fired today. I have also learned that her executive producer Patrick Ignozzi was also  fired after the annoucnement.

Maria had resigned her contract with Fox last February.

I've owned 11 Dobermans through the years, most rescues. Only one passed before age 10, and he had been severely malnourished and neglected through an Ohio winter.
