A lot of folks understandably are guessing the Mets as Tigers superstar pitcher Tarik Skubal’s ultimate free agent destination this winter, and there are two very good reasons for that. 1) The Mets are easily baseball’s richest team (at least by owner net worth). 2) Nobody should be as desperate as they are following back-to-back big-market disasters*.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is putting millions behind an effort to tackle one of California’s biggest election headaches: the state’s notoriously slow vote count. As part of California’s newly approved $351.7 billion state budget, Newsom and Democratic lawmakers allocated $40 million to help counties process ballots more quickly before the November general election. Republican strategist Matt Klink argued the funding addresses the symptoms rather than the underlying cause. “California shouldn’t need a $40 million fix for a problem of its own making,” Klink told The California Post. “If Sacramento wants faster election results, the governor and the legislature should examine and alter the laws that…

When Americans think of the beverage that fueled the American Revolution, they usually picture black tea — but it turns out that green tea was just as popular. The Founding Fathers and their contemporaries drank both types of tea, Bruce Richardson, the Kentucky-based founder of Elmwood Inn Fine Teas, told Fox News Digital. British subjects “were as likely to be drinking green tea as black tea, whether you were in Jane Austen [era] England … or you were in colonial Boston,” he added. “There were five teas, all from China, because that was the only country that was exporting tea,” Richardson said.…
