On Saturday, West wrote on Twitter that he was running for president, stating: “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States!” He has spoken before of doing so, though previously said he would make a bid in 2024. However, his post ended with the hashtag “2020vision”. There were no further details and he has already missed several key deadlines for candidates in the election....

The rapper spoke out about his polarizing political views—including his support of President Donald Trump—in an interview with radio DJ Big Boy on Friday in support of his new album Jesus is King. Just last week, West said that wearing a “MAGA” hat popularized by Trump was “God’s practical joke on all liberals.” West addressed black Americans who feel he has turned against them by taking a more conservative political stance, telling Big Boy he has turned his back on “the idea of victimization mentality” that he believes has “brainwashed” black people from individual thought....

Kimsey was appalled. “Are you nuts?” he replied. He tried to tell the president’s political guru that the Iraqis he saw were sullen and resentful and that “if we don’t do something soon, all hell is going to break loose.” But Rove wanted to hear nothing of it. “Nice talking to you,” Rove responded and walked away. That exchange (recounted in the new afterword to the paperback edition of “Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal and the Selling of the Iraq War,” the book I co-wrote with David Corn, tells much about the brook-no-dissent ethos that Rove brought to the Bush White House....

The Garter Day is an annual tradition that sees the Knights of the Order of the Garter gather at Windsor Castle to attend a series of events, including a lunch and a church service at St George’s Chapel. For the occasion, Kate wore one of her fashion fail-safes, the coat dress, in a similar color to the blue silk ribbons worn by holders of the garter.

With all three summer exhibition leagues behind us, it’s time to take a look back and dissect the biggest winners and losers from this portion of the offseason.
