Vice President JD Vance is on the road again to sell the Republicans’ big new tax law

July 27, 2025

Vice President JD Vance is hitting his home state to continue promoting the GOP’s sweeping tax-and-border bill. He will be in Canton, Ohio, on Monday to talk about the bill’s “benefits for hardworking American families and businesses,” his office says. The visit marks Vance’s second trip this month to sell the package that Republicans call the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” as he becomes its chief promoter on the road. In West Pittston, Pennsylvania, this month, Vance told attendees at an industrial machine shop that they should be able to keep more of their pay in their pockets. The White House sees the new law as a clear political boon, sending Vance to promote it in swing congressional districts.

Ichiro Suzuki adds humorous touches to Hall of Fame induction ceremonies

July 27, 2025

If you want someone for your next celebrity roast, Ichiro Suzuki could be your guy. Mixing sneaky humor with heartfelt messages, the first Japanese-born player to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame stole the show Sunday in Cooperstown. Morning showers and gloomy skies delayed the ceremonies by an hour, but the moisture gave way to bright skies and warm temperatures. The sun seemed its brightest during Suzuki’s acceptance speech. The outfielder was joined by pitcher CC Sabathia, also elected in his first year of eligibility, and closer Billy Wagner, who made it in his final try on the writers’ ballot. Suzuki fell one vote shy of being a unanimous selection and he took a jab at the unidentified sports writer who didn’t vote for him.
