Trump plans aid package for US soybean farmers while seeking trade deal with China President Donald Trump is making plans for a significant aid package for U.S. soybean farmers. The move aims to help them survive China's boycott of American beans, which was sparked by Trump's trade ...

Trump lost his Tariff/Trade war with China already. China completely stopped buying soybeans this year. Farmers are out $4.6B. Trump will need to either dig in, or grovel for forgiveness like a teenager who got caught ditching school.

Yes. Yes it did. And after being a lifelong fan of the Twins, as long as the Pohlahd's remain owners, they will not get another cent from me. Still an MLB fan, no longer a Twins fan.

Only took a couple of weeks for the Vikings to put Wentz in as the starter. Sure, McCarthy is "injured", but considering he spent ALL of last year on IR, I can't say that his track record is good either way. My money is on Wentz taking the starting job for the rest of the season and Kwesi gets fired

It would be cool if McCarthy works out for us, but I doubt it, with the controversy at Michigan, and there's two new homers on the team who want it more.

And, I am saying that with the expectation that Carson Wentz finishes the season, as I have said all along after Daniels, Bo Nix was the best QB in the 2024 draft with the highest completion rate of any college QB.

Bwahahaha! They might make the wild card in third place in the division again. That's about it. Vikings are going to win the division. Lions second, and Packers and Bears are vying to not be in last place. NFC North defenses are insane this year.

Why the Pohlads stunned potential buyers and kept control of the Twins: ‘We’re the right people’ The announcement that the Twins owners are keeping the team sent shock waves through the organization, fan base, and beyond.

WORST dysfunctional family management company in sports history. 34 years since winning a WS, did everything to alienate their team's fans, and now have decided that they are the best people for the job. JHC! Time to find a new team to root for... done.

I think getting rid of Correa and his mediocre play, along with taking out Buxton earlier in the year was the right move for the clubhouse, by getting rid of the albatross of his contract. The Twins are playing looser, and more relaxed as a team.

Abolish the electoral college. One person, one vote.

They should have never stayed with Diamond Sports Group, and opted for the same as the Padres when they first had the chance. Their TV contract situation hamstrung their budget. Poor management decisions on their part.

Disappointing that the Twins traded Bader, Durhan, Coloumbe, and Castro away. Glad to see Correa's enormous contract off the books for the most part.

Astros mulling reunion with Carlos Correa; Nolan Arenado, Eugenio Suárez also in mix The Astros are exploring the possibility of acquiring Carlos Correa or Nolan Arenado, while also remaining engaged in talks for Eugenio Suárez.

Get it done Twinkies! He's past his prime, and his contract is dead weight.
Move on.

I hope Correa gets moved out He's the only player worth losing this season.

I hope the Twins trade Correa before the deadline. He's not worth keeping.
