BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart.

Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don’t recognize.

I don't know if this is true more broadly, but west coast swimming & water polo has been in the MPSF not Pac12 / rPac12, whether or not people want to go this path, I think there's precedent & good arguments for having the mega conferences be for revenue sports vs smaller alignments for all others

"House slave."
Think about this for a brief moment. Think of just how fecal and vicious a man has to use such a term in this context. This is leadership by the absolute worst of us, the most vile trash that we could scrape from the gutter and elevate to govern a nation.

I think you're fundamentally right that it doesn't do a dang thing about the earlier identification of players who are being ignored already and will continue to be ignored if the non-academy path remains funneling to college, b/c that maintains a lot of system biases. So there.

I think the people saying this is badly aligned to the structure of the women's game in this country are right, and this shouldn't be treated as "one size fits all." I also am dubious that this isn't just USSF trying to cheap out on building a proper U21 / U23 pipeline. AND!

I did something rash and read the article. The longer split season seems like a net improvement for student athletes. The regionalization is just being realistic about the impacts of conference realignment for football. HOWEVER!

Every time you see Mike Davis do Mike Davis things, think about Gorsuch reportedly helping land Davis a job at DOJ, then choosing him as a clerk when he was on the 10th Circuit, then choosing him as a clerk when he was on the Supreme Court.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

"Who’s assaulting who is the real question?” said Oriana Korol's dad. “She was on the sidewalk playing music when the federal officers just bumrushed the band.”
