Dan Patrick: "Separation of Church and state is not in the Constitution" From the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." I am begging MAGA to read the Constitution of the country they claim to love.

My kids and I are having a great time with magnetic poetry lately. We have an Edgar Allan Poe set mixed with a Shakespeare one, which means lots of dark drama.

Former NOAA staffers have launched a new website that provides climate information. It replaces a government site that was shut down when the Trump administration took office. n.pr/4aWVKvt

Jim Kelly spoke to reporters after the Highmark Stadium ribbon cutting, saying he had a minor stroke a month and a half ago. He said he's feeling better and his cancer scans have been clean. #Bills

I'm in that sticky part of revising my novel where I know what needs to change but it feels SO big. Got any tips to help me dive in instead of avoiding it like the plague? 📚💙

I’ve known Dylan and his family since he was a little boy. Wonderful family that’s been through a lot as of late, any help is welcomed

It’s time to call this out. The most unqualified person to ever be SecDef is blocking the promotions of high level people for racial and gender reasons not related to their experience or merit. That makes him a person with racist and sexist issues - and a hack who weakens our armed forces.

Me right before I lose at chess:

I've been spending a lot of time studying Poe lately. How he constructs dread. The way his narrators insist on their own sanity so much you know something's wrong. He's a part of my current WIP and the deeper I go, the more intriguing details I find. What's your relationship with Poe?  📚💙

Shrey spelling 32 words in 90 seconds to win the Spelling Bee is the new greatest athletic accomplishment of 2026. I don’t even know how he said the letters that fast. Got a “Holy Mackerel” out of @minakimes.bsky.social

Much consternation this week on TV deals and the future of football after John Skipper’s PTFO spot. I always come back to Chuck Klosterman’s “Football” epic. Bad moons are rising.

Go to the gym, drink a protein smoothie, work on your core, eat kale. Congrats, you're dying more slowly now. Maybe you earned an extra week on the machine when you're 86. Or maybe the clot that takes you out next Monday is slightly smaller than it would have been. Either way, good job. Eat arbys

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

This is fully ridiculous and very enjoyable.

So being a football player isn’t enough? Wow. Who does he think he is? This is definitely not a player I’d consider taking in the first 25 picks of the NFL Draft. Far too much downside and risk Pick 26 on the other hand…

En route to the hospital, a young Joe Brady asked the paramedic if this was bad. That morn, he tried to get out of bed and fell. A staph infection was in his bloodstream. “There’s a chance you can lose your leg." On the new Bills HC: www.golongtd.com/p/joe-brady-...

Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people — and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Pope to Olympic Athletes: “It is possible to win without humiliating. One can lose without losing oneself. And this also applies beyond sport. It applies in social life, in politics, in relationships between peoples, because sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity.”

Not to sit silent. Not to stand down. But to check the abuses of an unrestrained executive. We cannot abdicate that duty. The Senate Majority Leader must choose country over party, summon the Senate back into session, and confront this crisis before it spirals further.

Bills offseason workout dates include a voluntary minicamp that the team is able to hold with a new HC: First Day: April 7 Voluntary Minicamp: April 20-22 OTA Offseason Workouts: May 18-19, May 21, May 26-28, June 1-4 Mandatory Minicamp: June 9-11

Today, the brave astronauts of Artemis II usher in a new era of space exploration. As the the first humans to venture into deep space in over 50 years, their mission lays the groundwork for returning to the moon—and even paves the way to Mars. Wishing them good luck!

Beautiful play from Wisconsin Freshman WR Eugene Hilton Jr. (13) on this 84 yard house call He’s in the slot to the right of the screen, and selling like he’s tracking ball in the air to keep his man glued to him and away from run support.

In honor of Mr. Rogers’ birthday, here’s your regularly scheduled reminder that the quote of his you keep sharing, that in times of crisis we should look for the helpers, was for his audience of children. We’re adults now. We’re supposed to *be* the helpers.

Three major new studies on democracy and freedom all find the U.S. is slipping further away from democracy. Leaders of two of those studies say President Trump's goal is to rule as an autocrat. n.pr/4uG99Am

Our Carolina jasmine is blooming on this Spring Equinox! This is always my first sign of longer days and new growth.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

I've fallen into a creative hibernation the last few weeks. Lots of reading and writing. Social media fell to the wayside, but that's okay. In fact, it allowed me to finish my first draft. Now my fav part of the writing process: I take something messy and wild and shape it into something magic. 📚💙

Bears and Bills trade official.

War on Truth…

Fresh off his new deal, C Connor McGovern walked in in a tank, brought us all pizza, and explained to us why he didn’t have a mustache rn. The ultimate offensive lineman

Bills center Connor McGovern with an incredibly on-brand arrival to his contract extension press conference. Came out in a tank top and with pizza 🍕🍕 His mustache, however, has been removed for the offseason

C Connor McGovern says Bills QB Josh Allen was talking to both him and to Brandon Beane & co. throughout this process "Doesn't hurt to have 17 in your corner," McGovern says

Bills center Connor McGovern said that Josh Allen was involved as his new contract came to fruition, talking to both him and the Bills during the negotiation process.

Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

Connor McGovern hasn't even heard from Brandon Beane, leading the UFA center to believe his Bills tenure is "over and done." www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

this is the very obvious game plan, and if you're reading journalism that doesn't at least hint at the possibility, you're not reading journalism at all:

In 2020, we mapped out the danger zones that will close in on Americans over the next 30 years — combining climate data with wildfire projections by US Forest Service researchers and others. See what changes are in store for your county 👇

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Bad POTUS

BREAKING: The EPA revokes scientific finding that greenhouse gases endanger the public health, removing a key basis for the climate change fight.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Bad Bunny “together we are America”

Well that was great and so aggressively unifying and fun and inclusive and WOW I bet they are hating it on the "For You" tab on the other site.
