The Atlantic hurricane season officially starts June 1, and ordinarily FEMA would kick it off with $40 billion in disaster relief funding, Gaynor told President Donald Trump on Thursday.

The Mercedes driver won his fifth world crown and fourth in the past five years with another dominant campaign, finishing 88 points clear of Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was highly anticipated before its launch, but even diehard fans of the franchise were blown away by the game.
