It was a sharp rebuke to the prosecutors who were assigned to bring charges against those arrested after President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and federal agents to Washington.

Another in long list of broken promises.
"Trump has vowed to halve power prices within 12 months of taking office as well as double electricity capacity. Instead, residential electricity prices have climbed about 10% from January until May and are projected to rise another 5.8% next year."

Ah, only $44 million is guaranteed in Terry McLaurin’s 3-year contract, hailed earlier by his side as worth “up to” $96 million. That looks more like a win for the team. Main thing is that there’s a deal.
We finally got the Terry McLaurin terms via @Rapsheet. 🏈 3 years and $87M as a base value (29M AAV). 🏈 $44M guaranteed can become $50M. Lots of incentives to get the deal up to $96M potentially. But original numbers significantly inflated.

Confirmed!.
Can confirm a three-year extension for Terry McLaurin with Commanders, via source. The 3-year deal for $96M is a $32M AAV. That sounds like a giant win for Terry but the numbers are likely coming from his side. Can’t wait to see the REAL numbers. The guaranteed number is the.
