When ProPublica emailed questions to Newby’s daughter, the North Carolina Republican Party’s communications director, Matt Mercer, responded, writing that ProPublica was waging a “jihad” against “NC Republicans,” which would “not be met with dignifying any comments whatsoever.”

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and I’m sure they would be interested in this matter,” Mercer said in his email. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

The FBI director is flying his girlfriend around on private government planes while FBI agents go without paychecks and families prepare to go hungry as SNAP benefits are being suspended

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.

The Diocese added that the Pope acknowledged how difficult closing and merging parishes can be and relayed that the "Catholic faithful of the Diocese will be remembered in his personal prayers."

The jersey is #14 for Leo XIV and was customized with his name on the back. (But feel free to pretend it represents Tyrell Shavers or Stefon Diggs or Ryan Fitzpatrick or Sammy Watkins or Frank Reich or the other 14s in Bills history.)

This is a real: Pope Leo XIV was gifted a Buffalo Bills jersey.

The Diocese of Buffalo said Bishop Fisher met with the Pope on Monday to discuss the ongoing bankruptcy filing, among other issues.

Pope Leo was said to have "expressed his gratitude for this symbol of hometown pride." #billsmafia

I am in awe of this box score. Shohei Ohtani continues doing things we have never seen before. He got on base NINE TIMES in a World Series game: two home runs, two doubles, five walks (four intentional, in innings 9-15).

And he's tonight's starting pitcher. #worldseries

Sean McDermott stays perfect coming off the bye week. Now 9-0 in his career.

Only his college teammate Mike Tomlin has matched that mark since 2017, when McDermott became a head coach. #billsmafia

Josh Allen now has the most touchdowns in NFL history by a quarterback, including playoffs.

I remember thinking no one would ever do what Cam Newton was doing. I was wrong.

Allen: 76 rush + 3 rec = 79 total TD
Newton: 77 rush + 1 rec = 78 total TD
