The White House has created a spreadsheet that rates hundreds of companies for their loyalty, according to a new report from Axios. And while that may not be entirely shocking news, given Donald Trump’s way of doing business, it’s worth stepping back and asking how news of a loyalty scorecard by a sitting president would’ve been received in the pre-Trump era. The rankings on the loyalty spreadsheet are currently determined by a given company’s perceived support of the so-called Big Beautiful Bi

Court Records Reveal Sig Sauer Knew of Pistol Risks for Years

A court exhibit recently published online summarizes Sig Sauer’s internal P320 testing and shows that the gun maker and U.S. Army were both aware of serious safety risks with the pistol since at least 2017, years before it was fielded to soldiers as the full-size M17 and compact M18.
