The adult film actress, who identifies as a conservative, spoke to Newsweek after she was ejected from a Turning Point USA event last week. “Everyone knows I’m the ‘MAGA MILF’ so I would be thrilled to see Trump run again. I really don’t think he is going to,” the porn star, whose given name is Tracey Lynn Livermore, told Newsweek. “Even I can admit that Donald Trump has an obnoxious arrogance about him that rubs some people the wrong way....

Some teams, like the Padres, pushed all of their chips in and became buyers. Others, like the Yankees, were measured and meticulous in the moves they made.

Juan Soto is a Padre. Luis Castillo is a Mariner....

Newcomb gave up the run that allowed Miami to win the game in the bottom of the 10th, which prompted him to kick a garbage can in frustration when he walked back Miami’s guest dugout. The trashcan hit a fire extinguisher, which went off between the tunnel leading to the clubhouse, according to reports. A large fan blowing sent the dust and smoke flying, which prevented the Braves from being able to head inside....

Hundreds of protesters reportedly gathered outside Los Angeles City Hall from 2 p.m. for the “choose freedom march” to demand an end to “medical tyranny, mandatory vaccinations and vaccine passports,” according to Fox 11. They were met by dozens of counterprotesters gathered at the same location for a demonstration that organizers called “no safe space for fascists,” according to fliers advertising the counterprotest. The Los Angeles Police Department arrived at the scene in the afternoon after several fights broke out between the protesters and counterprotesters....

For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below. Bolsonaro has reeled in such contentious rhetoric as he seeks to rehabilitate Brazil’s tattered environmental image abroad and project responsible stewardship. His critics have warned that his shift is disingenuous and that recent months of encouraging data that indicated less deforestation doesn’t necessarily represent a trend. But the number of alerts in September was roughly flat year-on-year, and preliminary data for October shows it on track to far outpace the destruction of the same month last year....

Why did the EC finally change course after the long fight, led by the French, to keep farm production and exports high? Because Washington got tough, analysts say. EC members were facing a Dec. 5 deadline to cut a deal or suffer U.S. import taxes on $300 million in EC goods. The import taxes would have tripled the cost of white wine in the United States, a slap at the balky French, whose stubbornness on farm issues threatened to scuttle the global trade agreement....

Without much of a defensive drop-off, Seattle didn’t get the complementary ball control or put up the points necessary for a deep playoff run. Another middle-of-the-pack scoring team won’t cut it in the NFC, where the Falcons, Cowboys and Packers all can contend again with prolific offenses. Beyond a chance to get Wilson back to full health during the offseason, the Seahawks expect to rebound and find their late 2015 up-tempo form....
