In an abrupt trade, Arizona ended up sending the quarterback to Miami. He hasn’t looked back since — and that’s probably a good thing after a tough season with the Cardinals. “I think he’s made some improvement, really across the board,” Flores said, via NFL....

This crisis has prompted some long overdue conversations about how much better society would be if things essential to life—health care, food and water—were managed in the public interest instead of dominated by corporate interests. Government agencies are using their legal authority, not to mention their moral duty, to demand ventilators and face masks....

Trump apparently scored the massive $600-million plus in cash after investors bought up $1.2 billion of bonds tied to the refinancing of a San Francisco office tower, 555 California. Trump has a 30 percent minority stake in the building, which makes up a massive portion, as much as $800 million, of his entire net worth.
