Imagine if even a fraction of what this administration plans to spend on cages went toward housing people.

Okay, Grandma, that's enough Winter Olympics for you! 😆

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

LOL, right @rosella.bsky.social?

A brief, recent history of the Washington Post: 1- Trump wins in 2024. 2- Bezos and minions make series of Trump-friendly changes to paper. 3-Readership tanks. 4- Bezos and minions fire tons of employees while telling them the audience just doesn't like what they're doing.

It'll be a star-studded affair with a wealth of international flavor when Olympians from around the world gather to kick off the 2026 Games in Milan.

It's almost time for the final day of PitchCon! Which panel are you looking forward to the most today? We are closing in on $12,000 donated for ALS research! Thank you all so much for such an amazing event ,and let's have an incredible last day!

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

Sharing one last time before the weekend. I’m proud of the work I did this week. Please support independent journalism however and wherever you can.

Chills.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Mike also let me plug my new book, "101 Lessons From The Dugout."

First #fantasybaseball draft of the season and so far I'm having fun dreaming about the upside of this team. (15-team draft-and-hold)

PitchCon starts TOMORROW! Our full schedule for the event, starting at 11 AM ET on Twitch! twitch.tv/pitcherlist

If the Seahawks go on to win this, it’ll be quite the Bobo fête after the game.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

A revenue-sharing recipient possibly trading away an ace who costs a measly $8 million is a much bigger problem for MLB than anything the Dodgers are doing.

At the end of the season, it's time to hand out final grades. Here's your instructor @paulmyerberg.bsky.social. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Courtesy of a JMU booster friend, we now have some insight into how Curt Cignetti approaches beer.

James Madison transfers who followed Curt Cignetti to Indiana set the standard for Hoosiers' rise. Is that sustainable or repeatable elsewhere?

Tony Dungy wants the Bears to ignore the analytics and kick field goals! In the snow in Chicago in January! After a first half where their only touchdown was a fourth-down conversion! It's great!

“Forget the analytics. Stop going for it on fourth down and kick the field goal. Take the points.” — Tony Dungy at halftime

I believe it’s properly called a “hook and lateral.”

In his always-excellent series of preseason bold predictions columns, @jasoncollette.bsky.social just slayed me with a reference to a particular AL East player being the "Temu Mark Belanger." Nicely done, J. www.rotowire.com/baseball/art...

I know we keep saying it every day, but this stuff is just *insane*

"The vindictive, oil-loving Mr. T**, who equates green with woke and views climate change as heresy, has worked assiduously to undo it, working to cancel consumer tax incentives and billions in funds for E.V. charging and battery manufacturing projects." Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/o...

The Texans sure immunized his end zone.

I kinda like all of the top teams, tbh. But if I had to pick favorites, the Nessler, Eagle, Benetti and Wischusen teams would be at the top of my list.

I feel seen.

This entire 13-minute video was riveting. And, eventually, empowering. Resistance is not futile.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. -- U.S. Const. amend. I.

Looks like I need to plan a nice, long road trip at some point.

First up for me: Der Kommissar!

This @djrothkopf.bsky.social piece is both cutting and incisive. And his use of "an unscripted mental walkabout" is a fabulous description of what we witness on a far-too-regular basis. davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/the-fafo-b...

No cheating. Realest with the most recent picture of your pet. (Had to add a second to identify said pet, Chester)

So yeah, for all those who said JMU didn’t belong in the CFP … here’s one for you: Alabama and Texas Tech just got blown out. Maybe THEY didn’t belong in the CFP. #GoDukes

Best KDF ever. #phish

Ah just casual conversation between two college football fans whose schools both hired a their coaches away from ... James Madison. #GoDukes

I know this is meant to break democracy but I think it's going to affect some Hall of Fame votes too

My 7-year-old self feels seen.

Just sent in my Hall of Fame ballot yesterday. And wrote about the decision-making process today. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
