Markwayne Mullin is not a veteran. He never served in any war, but here is is talking about the experience of going to war as though he's done it.

Truly incredible format when the standings are this bunched up at the top. Arkansas St. has to win 3 conference tournament games in 3 days to get to matchup with a waiting Marshall in the semifinals. Marshall and Arkansas State have the exact same conference record.

In my prime, I'm confident that I could've done this. Right now I'm...not in my prime. If $50M were really on the table, I'd give it a go, and I'd like to think I could will my way through it but my old man stomach (lactose and starch intolerances) would make this really tough.

I'm not sure if there's a more frustrating college basketball player to watch than Roddy Gayle Jr. Always a great effort on defense & the boards, but also always looks like he's shaving points on offense.

Imagine being nicknamed 'Smudge' What did Sam Smith do to deserve this?

She's not wrong that Soldier Field is brutal to get in and out of unless you drive and pay for parking. It's like a half-mile walk down a walking path that starts on a random side street, and the path goes over some train tracks and under two highways.

No Country for Old Muppets

We maybe should've been paying more attention to the story about Rice punching a photographer a couple months after the reckless car accident he fled. Getting in that kind of trouble at a time when he should've been on his best behavior was a bigger red flag than we realized.

Michigan is lucky they've continued to hit shots in the 2nd half to keep Boilers at arms length. Purdue has played with an intensity level since halftime that Michigan just hasn't matched. Looks like they'll hang on, but this felt like a game that should've been done and dusted by now.

Nine Michigan players saw the court in the first half, and they all have one thing in common - they scored more points in that half than Braden Smith.

That might've been Aday Mara's best half of basketball this season.

And of course Michigan asserts itself and takes control after halftime. 2-point lead at the break turns into a 30-point win.

I don't understand how Michigan didn't take Wednesday's game as a wake-up call. Meandering their way through another first half that they should've controlled. Bad effort on the boards and dicey shot selection. They're up 2 at the half in a game they could easily lead by 15.

So the official position of the Attorney General of the United States is that we should let the Epstein stuff slide because the stock market is good? Really?? The hearing today feels like a new low for Bondi

The last remaining unbeaten college basketball team this season is...Miami of Ohio

Fun fact: The divorce scene in the Kid Rock show was an actual divorce showing a wife leaving her conservative husband.

Seeing the Jason Myers MVP posts, but I'm not buying it. His 5 FGs were hit from 41, 41, 39, 33, and 26 yards. Any kicker in the league is probably better than a 50-50 bet to make all 5 of those. It's gonna take something more impressive than that to be the 1st kicker to win Super Bowl MVP.

I say this with my whole chest: GOOD. Shut DHS the fuck down. Keep it shut down. Never reopen it.

Assuming Giannis gets moved before the deadline, this has to be the most active NBA trade deadline of all time, right?

The smug dismissiveness of his tone just makes me want to throttle him. Calling him a piece of shit is an insult to pieces of shit.

Happy birthday, Tom Izzo #GoBlue

OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in. *Reads:* "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"

Only 42% of *Republicans* are extremely confident that Donald Trump is acting ethically in office. Barely more than half of *Republicans* are extremely confident that Trump respects the country's democratic values. Honestly...please let them nominate him again.

Whitney Cummings contributing to The Daily Show is just antithetical to what The Daily Show is. Like...what were they thinking here?

Better late than never, I guess. But this is just another example of Dem leadership waiting to see which way the winds of public opinion are blowing before staking out a position on something, which is just the opposite of the definition of 'leadership'.

It's so painfully obvious that the reverse of this is true. The fraud claims were essentially an astroturf campaign aimed at getting public support for ICE/CBP's immigration enforcement actions. The fraud claims are the distraction.

We should all pause and marvel at the depth of the courage of Alex Pretti. He had an encounter with ICE a week before they killed him where he thought he was going to die, and that didn't deter him from returning to protect his neighbors the next week. We should all aspire to be so courageous.

The Jets plan:

The phrases 'scoops of ideas' and 'scoops of explanation' are aggressively dumb, but Bari's intent here is clear. The plan for CBS News is to lean harder into commentary and opinion. She also said that CBS needs to earn back viewers' trust, and this is the opposite of how to do that

One thing that I think does unify all of us on all sides of the political spectrum... None of us want to watch the Melania documentary.

I understand that the GOP has control of the House and Senate, and that getting ICE abolished probably isn't realistic until that changes...but why do Dems constantly insist on making the compromise deal their *starting point* in negotiations?

Not gonna lie, my gut reaction when I saw that Shedeur Sanders was selected to the Pro Bowl as a replacement player was - this is the death knell for the Pro Bowl. It's now dead. Then I looked up who the last 3 AFC Pro Bowl QB3s were... Tyler Huntley Gardner Minshew Russ Wilson It's been dead.

Quentin Lake literally did the motion that refs use to signal pass interference to shove Shaheed before the ball got there. That's a missed call.

Whether you agree with the taunting call or not, you have to see the humor in Riq Woolen getting called for taunting right after a play where he dropped an interception. Dropped a pick and then went right to the Rams' sideline to talk his shit

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:

The Broncos and Patriots combined for 387 total yards in the AFC title game today. The Seahawks and Rams just combined for 443 total yards in the first half.

Noem's mention of uncovering fraud here should reiterate that everything going on in the Twin Cities was premeditated by the administration. Nick Shirley's viral video 'investigating fraud' purported itself to be a work of independent citizen journalism, but it's since been confirmed...

Imagine how black-and-white DHS realizes it is that they're in the wrong here that they won't let Kash Patel's FBI investigate it.

Days like today, I don't know that I see a path for the country to ever truly get back to normal even when the Trump administration is far in the rear view. I know Trump's approval is underwater, but there's like a firm 30-35% of the US population that is fully on board with this.

The man ICE murdered this morning was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. And the federal gov't is painting him as a radical terrorist who wanted to massacre ICE agents. This gov't is just a bottomless pit of depravity.

Lowe's, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Amazon, Ace Hardware. Plenty of everyday places sell gas masks. Also, of course the locals are organized. Why wouldn't they be? They're under assault by an occupying federal force. Banding together is how to fight back - strength in numbers.

There's no other word to describe this other than murder. Prison is too good for every ICE agent involved. Same goes for the administration leaders who continue to provide cover this - Noem, Miller, Vance, Bovino, Homan, Blanche, etc.

This martyr could be any of us. He is doing what so many of us have been trained to do. Standing and recording on his phone, trying to warn his neighbors, and now he’s dead because armed, masked federal paramilitaries are acting with impunity to perform ethnic cleansing.

Five concerts you've seen with women lead singers: Bridge City Sinners Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas Dance Hall Crashers Patti Smith The Greeting Committee

I'd like to see elected Dems work to secure the release of the non-celebrities too, but also, how on earth can foreign participants in the World Cup feel safe about coming to the US to participate?

pepper spraying someone in the face from inches away while they are already restrained on the ground should get you fired and land you in jail, no exceptions

They're literally just going to rename it Trumpland, aren't they?

Can we show this polling data to the Europeans who think that Trump represents all of America? The MFer's approval is underwater in FLORIDA and TEXAS,

Davey is spot-on, both about Trump being the most corrupt president in US history, and about how to handle a bully. The best way to stop a bully is not to appease him, but to knock him on his ass.

2nd week in a row where a Bears' opponent made their field position worse by picking off a 4th down pass. Just let it fall incomplete.
