'United States Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) sent letters to 23 US lobbying firms requesting information on the scope of their lobbying services for the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or any Saudi government-affiliated entity', Warren's office said in a press release. For 18 of the 23 firms that continue to represent Saudi Arabia, despite the October 2 murder of Jamal Khashoggi inside the kingdom’s Istanbul consulate, Warren urged a re-evaluation of 'whether your firm's relationship with this regime is consistent with American values'.

First, the Cup race. The transition of NASCAR drivers from a bunch of good ol’ boys to prep-school graduates was perfectly illustrated on Sunday by Byron’s drive to victory in the No. 24 car made famous by Jeff Gordon, who owns half of this entry.
