Speaking to CNN’s Erin Burnett on Thursday night, Sununu spoke about the need to disparage the misinformation among Republicans regarding COVID-19 vaccines. “I’ve got a lot on my plate, I don’t need crazy getting in the way,” he said. Burnett then played a number of video clips in which Republican lawmakers and legislators were seen speaking about numerous conspiracy theories, many of which involved control by foreign entities or pharmaceutical companies....

Cheney, who represents Wyoming, and Kinzinger, who represents Illinois, have drawn the ire of Republican colleagues who continue to support former President Donald Trump. The two GOP lawmakers have repeatedly condemned Trump and have also strongly criticized other Republicans who continue to back the former president. They both agreed to serve on the committee set up by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “We’ve got a couple of members, delusory members, who are on the wrong side of facts and history,” Representative Scott Perry, a Pennsylvania Republican, said....

Biden took aim at former President Donald Trump and his supporters during a speech in Philadelphia on Thursday about the “battle for the soul of the nation.” During the fiery speech, he condemned what he views as anti-Democratic posturing from the Republican Party. He blasted them for attacking the integrity of the 2020 presidential election, opposing abortion rights, and trying “to take this country backwards.” Many in the GOP have condemned the speech, as Biden faces accusations of being partisan and divisive....

In the wake of the Robb Elementary School mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that saw 19 students and two teachers killed, Cornyn helped lead bipartisan negotiations with Senators Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina. However, Republicans in attendance at the convention did not seem to take kindly to Cornyn’s involvement in the Senate push on improved background checks to those under 21 years old, allocating funds for mental health treatment and school security, and grants to states to enforce red flag laws....

In an interview on Monday, Hawley discussed his conversation with the president that took place as he traveled on Air Force One from Georgia. “I said, ‘I think it’s vital that any relief include direct payments, and I’m not gonna vote for it if it doesn’t,’” the senator said. “And I also urged him to veto any bill that did not have direct payments in it.” Hawley believed that Trump was receptive to his suggestion....

Part of that conversation is centered on the renaming of U.S. military bases and other Pentagon assets whose titles were coined after Confederate leaders. A bipartisan group of senators has taken the first steps to do just that, evoking furor from President Donald Trump and a divide among GOP lawmakers. The GOP-led Senate Armed Services Committee approved an amendment for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) by voice vote behind closed doors on Wednesday that would rename military bases with Confederate titles over the next three years—a move directly at odds with Trump’s stance on the matter....

Lazzaro, 30, was originally arrested in August on ten charges of underage sex trafficking after he allegedly coerced and recruited a number of children to perform paid sexual acts with him. Many of the girls were around 16 years old when Lazzaro contacted them, and he was reportedly looking for girls around 13 or 14 years of age. The indictment also included three counts of obstruction of justice and stated that Lazzaro had “knowingly and intentionally interfered” with the police investigation, according to news station KARE Minneapolis....

The K’Ogalo defender is among the 25-man squad summoned by head coach Paul Put for the forthcoming Cecafa Senior Challenge. The regional tournament will kick-off on December 3-17 in Nakuru, Kisumu and Kakamega Counties.

In Iowa, the farm community is being severely hurt by low prices. Hog farmers in particular complain that meatpacking-industry mergers have created giant processors who use their buying power to drive down prices further. To help farmers–and perhaps not coincidentally Gore–the Agriculture Department will soon launch an investigation of possible antitrust violations by the processors. Farmers don’t dominate the caucuses, but most Iowans share their concerns. Meanwhile, Bradley is getting an unsolicited boost from his former colleagues, the New York Knicks....

On Friday the Justice Department submitted a 29-page-filing to an appeals court, requesting the FBI be allowed to continue examining around 100 documents marked classified that the agency seized from Mar-a-Lago on August 8. On Labor Day U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon ordered a halt to the department’s review of documents taken from Donald Trump’s Florida residence, arguing the former president would face “potential harm by way of improper disclosure of sensitive information” via media leaks if they continued....

The decision was announced during a news briefing as health officials reported “encouraging” trends in decreasing coronavirus cases throughout the state. Whitmer said the state was also moving into the fourth phase of its response to the outbreak, which allows restaurants, retail shops and many other businesses to reopen but with some limitations still in place. “We can’t let our guard down, but now we are in a position to move forward,” Whitmer said....

It is clear that coronavirus was NOT a hoax, despite intemperate statements from the Administration and certain right wing media outlets. World wide, cases have passed 2 million and deaths stand at 125,000 and climbing. In the US, cases are in excess of 500,000 and deaths have exceeded 25,000, for a fatality rate of over 3 percent. This is despite the near shutdown of the economy and a virtual quarantine for most of the country....

The Yankees acquired 36-year-old starter J.A. Happ from the Blue Jays on Thursday, a move that some thought was obvious for the Yankees to make: The lack of impactful starting pitching on the trade market this year, coupled with Happ’s effectiveness vs. the AL East in his career, seemed to make sense for everyone — as long as Toronto came to the table fairly, which it did. MLB TRADE TRACKER: Recap the latest trades leading up to the July 31 deadline...

Clark, a rising senior wide receiver for the Tigers, is believed to be in “stable” condition after having surgery, but his brother was killed. The New Orleans natives had just gotten in their car after playing basketball when the shooting took place. “From what I’m hearing, (Clark) will make it,” Grambling tight ends coach Darrell Kitchen said Thursday. “I am just distraught about the whole situation.” Grambling State’s athletic director and vice president of student affairs Rusty Ponton offered his thoughts and prayers to the Clark family as he described the wide receiver as a “great kid with a great personality....

Not a small-time fraud, either. Hatto may have been the fortissimo version of Milli Vanilli. When she died of ovarian cancer at 77, she had released 119 albums—Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin—almost every one of them now suspected to have been plagiarized. Put on a Joyce Hatto CD and you’ll really hear Yefim Bronfman, Ian Hobson, Vladimir Ashkenazy and dozens more, carefully copied using the latest music-editing technology. Even the experts were fooled....
