Remember when Trump lied that the Biden administration wasn't sending all the relief money North Carolina needed?
Stein: What is typical after a storm like this is that the federal government provides about 50, 60, even 70 percent of the damages in relief dollars to help a region recover from a massive hit. So far, North Carolina has received about 11 percent.

Some people are only happy if Spurs are sacking managers every year. And then when we hire a new one, they will all say "let's give him time to rebuild the squad." Then, in a few months, with mostly the same squad, they want to hit another reset button. Clubs do not succeed in this model.

Just seen Frank's post-match stuff. Nice to see him call out the officials when they get major decisions wrong. Sometimes we, as a club, can be too nice. These errors cost teams points, managers their jobs, potentially millions of pounds. And most are rubbish even with all the help they're given.

It is actually borne out in the analysis. Unlike American sports where there is near total parity and any team can win titles in any year the bias is undoubted in the EPL because it is very important for the league executives for the very top clubs to get into Europe and generate revenues.

An NPR analysis of the Epstein files shows some documents, originally available on Friday, are no longer on the Department of Justice's "Epstein Library" website as the DOJ releases more files.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.
