With that in mind, there are two people who are probably somewhere exhaling hard over the non-stop updates on Von Miller, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Muhammad Wilkerson and a handful of others. Those two are Andrew Luck and Jim Irsay. MORE: Why should Luck re-sign? Because somehow, the most anticipated contract extension of the offseason has not only not happened yet, but its negotiations have been eclipsed by a swarm of those of other players....

Dual exchange systems have political appeal to Argentina’s financiers and business people. An official international peg will provide stability for their foreign operations. But dual rates have a sorry history. On past experience, the floating domestic free-market rate will progressively undermine Argentina’s international peg as traders, smugglers and ordinary citizens find ways around the government’s exchange controls. Argentina’s labor laws, budget and social policies are shaped not by the IMF, but by Argentina’s elected governments, which have proved unable to engineer workable reforms....

Dak Prescott is rookie of the year, an MVP candidate and future Hall of Famer. Tony Romo is a too-old, undrafted, overrated bum who will never be healthy again and was never all that clutch. WEEK 6 PICKS: Straight up | Against the spread Neither of those statements is true — not even close. We can’t assume Prescott will continue to play at this level, and theres no proof Romo actually will be ready to go before Week 8’s big, post-bye matchup against Philadelphia....

Twitter users seemed split on how to interpret his tweets, with some seeing them as a critique of rampant “cancel culture” in society, and others making the literal interpretation that Glover was talking about TV shows and movies that are dropped by producers for being too experimental. The actor, also known as Childish Gambino, made a return to Twitter on Tuesday to share his thoughts on the topic. “Saw people on here havin a discussion about how tired they were of reviewing boring stuff (tv & film),” he wrote....

At midday, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Senior Adviser Jared Kushner huddled in the campaign’s Arlington, Va., headquarters with campaign manager Bill Stepien and other top officials, gaming out what comes next. The campaign filed suit in Michigan for an immediate stop to vote counting, alleging that Republican campaign monitors were not sufficiently represented in vote-counting sites. “We also demand to review those ballots which were opened and counted while we did not have meaningful access,” Stepien said....

“‘The Democrats hate this President so much, they’re forgetting about their duty to secure our Border,’” The U.S. leader wrote, appearing to quote from an interview between the real-life Homan and Fox News’ Steve Hilton. “Sad but true!” Trump said in agreement, as he tagged Hilton and the account: “@ThomasHomanICE.” What the president didn’t realize, however, was that the account, which he tweeted out to his 62.4 million followers, was actually a parody account run by pro-immigration advocate Domenic Powell, who was quick to point out the mistake....

Trump confirmed that he, as well as first lady Melania Trump, tested positive for the new coronavirus early on October 2, and was admitted to Walter Reed later that day. Since testing positive, he has had a series of ups and downs, including two episodes where his oxygen saturation dropped. However, the president improved over the weekend and, with just mild symptoms, was set to be discharged on Monday....

Sondland is one of the so-called “Three Amigos”—along with Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker—accused of running the White House’s parallel Ukraine strategy designed to bolster Trump’s personal political fortunes, rather than build bilateral relations with Kiev. The ambassador is central to the question of whether Trump sought a quid pro quo with Ukraine, exchanging frozen military aid for an investigation into likely 2020 rival Joe Biden....

The latest Gallup survey on the mood of the nation found 44 percent of U.S. adults approved of the commander-in-chief’s performance going into the Senate impeachment trial, which is set to begin in earnest on Tuesday. His approval rating is five points higher than it was when the same Gallup poll was conducted between October 1 and 13 last year, shortly following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to launch the impeachment inquiry....

“Actually, in the middle of that sentence, it went out. And that’s not a good feeling,” Trump told reporters on Friday. But he immediately went on to say that he knew the speech so well that he didn’t even need a teleprompter. “I guess the rain knocked out the teleprompter, so it’s not that, but I knew the speech very well, so I was able to do it without a teleprompter....

Despite previously pledging in October to force the Democrats to raise the debt ceiling using the Senate’s potentially time-consuming budget reconciliation process, last week McConnell recruited Republican support to block a potential filibuster—he and 13 GOP senators voted to allow the Democrats to fast-track their bill. The debt ceiling is a limit Congress imposes on the federal government’s debt. In a statement on Sunday, Trump said: “Mitch McConnell is giving the Democrats victory on everything....

The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) made the decision to “protect the health and safety of all”, according to a statement on Thursday, and there was plenty of criticism of the move from Trump’s supporters. After the first debate on September 30 produced jokes, memes and critical commentary, some Twitter users suggested that the president was trying to avoid a repeat. “The score is Biden/Harris:2, Trump/Pence: 0. The next debate is now going to be virtual, but Trump is a baby and won’t do it, so the final score looks like it will stay 2:0,” tweeted veteran Star Trek actor George Takei....

The hacked site’s text was only viewable by some but not all of the site’s users. “Earlier this evening, the Trump campaign website was defaced and we are working with law enforcement to investigate the source of the attack,” the Trump campaign wrote in a statement following the hack. “There was no exposure of sensitive data because none of it is actually stored on the site.” The text on the hacked webpage read, “This site has been seized....

A petition set was set up by U.S.-based non-profit activism organization Avaaz to pursue a Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO) against Trump—a court order issued by a British court to force an individual to reveal sources of their finances, also known as a “McMafia” order. Politicians and campaigners have called for an investigation into how Trump funded the all-cash purchases of his two Scottish golf resorts of Turnberry and Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire....

President Donald Trump’s eldest son told Charlie Kirk, a contributor to Newsweek’s “The Debate” platform, that he believed people would say his father had dementia if he “mixed up Iowa and Ohio once.” Speaking about Biden on The Charlie Kirk Show, Trump Jr. said: “Biden doesn’t remember what state he’s in 50 percent of the time. If Donald Trump mixed up Iowa and Ohio once, they’d say he has dementia, he’s totally lost it....

“China, tells us what we’re going to be doing,” Trump Jr. said. “You know, that billion dollars to Hunter, that didn’t come for free. That was a great return on investment for the Chinese because they know they can get away with it, and our political class will say nothing because they’ve been on the take in the same way for decades.” In the months before the November presidential election, Trump and his campaign surrogates repeatedly alleged that Hunter Biden had used his father’s previous role as Obama’s Vice President to assist his business deals in China and Ukraine....

During Thursday’s eighth live hearing from the panel, outtakes were played of a taped address that Trump recorded on January 7, 2021, one day after his supporters took part in the insurrection. The key moment from the clip shows Trump arguing that he doesn’t want to read a line from the teleprompter that states “the election is now over,” despite it being two months since Joe Biden was rightfully declared the winner....

Omar arrived in the U.S. in 1995 as a 12-year-old refugee from Somalia and became an American citizen five years later. Trump lashed out at Omar in a statement issued on Tuesday. Trump’s remarks came amid a firestorm of controversy surrounding anti-Muslim comments about the Minnesota Democrat from Representative Lauren Boebert, a staunch supporter of the former president. “Congresswoman Ilhan Omar should apologize for marrying her brother, committing large-scale immigration and election fraud, wishing death to Israel, and for essentially abandoning her former country, which doesn’t even have a government,” Trump said....

On Wednesday, The New York Times published the letter from prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, who quit as special assistant district attorney in February amid reports Bragg had doubts about pushing forward with prosecuting the former president and paused the grand jury investigation needed to indict him. In the bombshell letter, Pomerantz, one of the top prosecutors working on the investigation into alleged tax fraud by The Trump Organization, said that the former president was “guilty of numerous felony violations” with regards to his “false” financial statements....

Hours after the news broke on Tuesday, Trump urged people to leave Pence alone in a Truth Social post. “Mike Pence is an innocent man. He never did anything knowingly dishonest in his life. Leave him alone!!!” the former president wrote. CNN first reported that one of Pence’s lawyers discovered roughly a dozen documents with classified markings at the former vice president’s home in Carmel, Indiana, after Pence himself had said he had no such records in his possession....
