Are the Detroit Lions clear-cut NFC favorites after acquiring the pass-rush help they desperately needed? On Tuesday, NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport tweeted that the Cleveland Browns dealt defensive end Za’Darius Smith and a 2026 seventh-rounder to the Lions in exchange for a 2025 fifth-rounder and a 2026 sixth-rounder.  In a 47-9 Week 6 road win over the Dallas Cowboys, Lions star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson fractured his tibia and fibula.

I have met Anna Paulina Luna (APL) and have been impressed by her policies and tenacity. Anna is receiving an unprecedented amount of hate for her conservative views. Her campaign manager was recently assaulted, and I fear that we can expect more violence against conservatives in the weeks to come if Trump secures a victory. People assume all of Florida is bright red, but that is simply not true. My county, in particular, is a mix, potentially leaning blue. There is a good mix of Trump and Harris flags and an uptick of pro-Harris-Walz protests, although there was a poor…

Only 282 have meanwhile been able to leave since Israel shuttered Gaza’s main Rafah border crossing in early May, Peeperkorn said, adding that around a third of them had been children. Peeperkorn lamented the “ad hoc” access to desperately-needed medical evacuations from Gaza. “What we need is regular access … which would be properly supported, facilitated and not made unnecessarily dangerous,” he said. “We need medical corridors, and the first medical corridor…
