I didn’t have “Germany and Sweden send troops to Greenland to help Denmark defend it against the United States” on my 2026 bingo card.

According to a new report, 33 of the January 6 rioters Trump pardoned on his first day in office have since been charged, arrested, or convicted of new crimes. Trump is happy to put criminals back on our streets so long as they are loyal to him.

Good news: The days are getting longer.

I can't believe @microsoft365.microsoft.com rolled out Outlook365 that eliminates so many basic tools such as a "to" column and "rules"

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

More brutal injury news: Western Michigan's Joona Väisänen, one of the best defensemen in the country, suffered an injury last weekend that's expected to sideline him longterm. Exact timeline still being determined. But the star blue liner not expected back soon.

Wayzata JR D Holton Davison has committed to Miami.

Good question, Junior!

Peterborough OHL confirms DiCunzolo commitment to Penn State

The always informative Corso over at hockeysfuture has a by-the-numbers commentary on the impact of last year's CHL/NCAA decision. forums.hfboards.com/threads/2025... As an aside, raise one up for Rylan Masterson, who lent his name to the lawsuit, even if he was unlikely to benefit personally.

The issue here is people view this contextually. If they believe ICE is going after gang, criminals, they don't mind doing this to people obstructing deportation. If you understand they are going after decent non-criminals, then you view this differently. Officials have to educate its the latter.

It appears Sioux City’s Kiernan Poulin (UMass) and Garin Ludwig (Mich St) are no longer committed.

Defenseman Levi Harper commits

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?

Former UND captain Colton Poolman has signed with the Glasgow Clan in Scotland. Poolman is the 68th former UND player to sign a pro deal for 2025-26.

Strong reporting here from ProPublica, which found that three Trump Cabinet members -- at Labor, Transportation and EPA -- call multiple homes their primary residence on mortgages. That's the same move that led Trump to fire Lisa Cook from her job at the Fed. bit.ly/466yMyI

The theatre around RFK is great and all, but his holding a position as HSS Secretary is failed state behavior, and everyone who facilitated it should be drummed out of public life.

Massie (R-KY) is just on fire: "I don't know if that's precedented in this country to have a president call legislators to say that they're engaged in a hostile act, particularly when the so-called hostile act is trying to get justice for people who've been victims of sex crimes." #TrumpEpstein

This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway. Read all of it. He wrecks them: newrepublic.com/article/1999...

NEW COMMIT: '07 G Samuel Meloche commits to NU. Meloche was a stud for the QMJHL R-N Huskies last year as a rookie and a 4th round pick of the Sabres in the 2025 NHL Draft. Out of Lac-St-Louis, the same junior program as Devon Levi. More to come. Big day for NU. Congratulations Samuel!
