Now, though, Democrats are lined up demanding...

TAMPA — On the bright side for Luis Severino, his changeup looked pretty good Wednesday at George M. Steinbrenner Field.

The New York Times has a dilemma. Like every other newspaper, the Times characterized as baseless President Trump’s recent accusation that his campaign was wiretapped. Or, more precisely, the paper said that Trump didn’t provide any evidence of the alleged wiretapping. Fair enough. Trump didn’t give any proof. He just sent out one of his...
