Attorneys for Graham
have argued that his position
as a U.S. senator provides
him immunity from having
to appear before the investi-
gative panel. But U.S. District
Judge Leigh Martin May
wrote in an order Monday
that immunities related to
his role as a senator do not
protect him from having to
testify. Graham’s subpoena
instructs him to appear
before the special grand jury
on Aug. 23, but his office said
Monday he plans to appeal.

Graham had argued that a
provision of the Constitution
provides absolute protection
against a senator being ques-
tioned about legislative acts.

But the judge found there
are “considerable areas of
potential grand jury inquiry”
that fall outside that provi-
sion’s scope. The judge also
rejected Graham’s argu-
ment that the principle
of “sovereign immunity”
protects a senator from
being summoned by a state
prosecutor.

ABOUT VIKTOR ORBAN AND CPAC EDITORIAL CARTOON
Not long after Donald Trump’s 2016 election, Vox’s
STEVE KELLEY/CREATORS SYNDICATE
Zack Beauchamp traveled to Hungary, where its author-
itarian leader, Viktor Orbán, had implemented many of
the populist-right policies that had energized the Amer-
ican president’s most ardent supporters. Notably, Orbán
militarized Hungary’s southern border to stop the “inva-
sion” of migrants — and he has made base racial appeals.

After a 2002 loss that his Fidesz Party blamed on
fraud, Orbán regained power in 2010. As Beauchamp
noted, he created “ ‘soft fascism’: a political system that
aims to stamp out dissent and seize control of every
major aspect of a country’s political and social life, with-
out needing to resort to ‘hard’ measures like banning
elections and building up a police state.”

Looking at Hungary, Beauchamp noted “warning
signs for America.” Fast forward four years and one can’t
help but recoil at the writer’s prescience. At its annual
conference in Dallas earlier this month, the Conser-
vative Political Action Committee featured Orbán as
a prominent speaker. He received the kind of rousing
welcome that conservatives typically reserve for Trump.

“My government is devoted to law and order without
compromise,” Orbán said. “We don’t need more genders;
we need more rangers. Less drag queens and more
Chuck Norris. There is no freedom without order!”

… Prominent conservative talking heads and writ-
ers such as Fox News host Tucker Carlson even have
made pilgrimages to Hungary. Many conservatives now
believe that making America great again means emulat-
ing the leader of a small Eastern European country who
embraces policies in direct opposition to America’s
founding ideals. What a sad commentary on the party of
Lincoln and Reagan.

Gordon took in the Soldier

together a nice outing. In
one second-quarter series,
Brisker — who sat out prac-

“I knew he was going to do

on the pitcher.

“I’ve always tried to be an aggressive hitter,”
Madrigal told the Tribune. “Being in a leadoff
spot, really it’s just the first at-bat of the game
is the only difference. But (my approach)
really depends on the pitcher.”

Madrigal also is looking for spots to be more
aggressive on the basepaths now that his legs
feel a lot better. It has been a process to gain
strength after last year’s hamstring surgery,
followed by a low back strain and the groin
strain that caused him to miss about two
months this year.

Madrigal has stolen two bases this season
after stealing three in 83 games over two
seasons (2020-21) with the Chicago White
Sox.

“I’m able to start testing a little bit, but
it’s something that’s always been part of
my game,” Madrigal said. “I haven’t got the
chance to really show it all that much. But I’m
hoping that comes in the future.”
Wade Mileyto make anotherrehab start: The
Cubs clearly want to ensure left-hander Wade
Miley is fully healthy this time without facing
another setback.

Miley is slated to make another rehab start
Tuesday at Triple-A Iowa, his fourth rehab
outing as he works back from a left shoulder
strain that put him on the injured list June 11.

Left elbow inflammation thwarted the
veteran early in the season before his shoul-
der issue emerged in May. In his first start off
the IL, Miley lasted just three innings with a
reoccurrence of the injury.

Miley had thought his bullpen sessions
simulated enough of a game situation to test
his shoulder. This time he’s taking on a more
thorough buildup through multiple rehab
appearances.

“We’re trying to get him back in the rotation
as soon as he’s healthy,” Ross said. “But we’ll
wait to see how he comes out of that start.”

Cubs second baseman Nick Madrigal plays
against the Reds on Saturday in Cincinnati.

The Cup Series so far has five first-time
winners this season, the playoff grid filling
fast with fresh new names, and Harvick
found himself in a vulnerable spot headed
into the final month to qualify for one of the
16 playoff berths.
His much-needed first win came Aug. 7
at Michigan, followed by Sunday’s win at
Richmond, making Harvick the only back-
to-back race winner this season.
“At this point, a win’s a win, right? I think

“As you start your career, it’s easy to say,
‘I want to win 70-some races’ and then you
start doing this on a week-to-week basis,”
Harvick said. “It’s just a lot harder because
everyone in this garage is just a killer, from
the crew chief to the drivers to the guys
changing the tires.
“It’s the best of the best, and it’s not easy
to keep your team and everybody within
your organization competitive, keep your-

Now that he’s proven to still be competi-

Cup championship.
And that’s very good for NASCAR.
Harvick is one of the few throwbacks
