Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has named Jacoby Brissett Arizona's starting QB for Week 10 against the Seahawks.
The trade of 2025 (so far) was the Ravens getting Gilman, which stabilized their secondary and freed up Kyle Hamilton to play a preferred role. We'll see if any of these other moves make that kind of immediate impact
Every trade from the start of the regular season to now, after the trade deadline passes:

The 2027 first-round pick heading to New York is the better of the Cowboys’ two firsts.
The price for Quinnen Williams, per source:

- 2026 2nd
- 2027 1st

The first-round pick is the Cowboys' selection, not Green Bay's.

The Jets’ asking price for Breece Hall is a third-round pick, per source.

Teams have yet to meet New York’s ask with just over an hour to go until the deadline.
The Jaguars are trading for Jakobi Meyers on his current deal. If it goes well they'll likely try to negotiate a more lucrative extension at season's end. They are trying to win now and thus are unlikely to move Brian Thomas Jr. today (unless blown away by an offer).
😉
It may just be a coincidence, but before the game, Meyers made a point of saying hello to Tony Boselli, the Jags’ executive vice president of football operations; Boselli’s son, Adam, was a teammate of Meyers at North Carolina State...

The Jaguars are trading for WR Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders, sources tell me and @mikesilver.bsky.social.

Las Vegas is receiving fourth and sixth-round picks in exchange from Jacksonville.
The Raiders were on the verge of a dramatic victory. And then...

That'll really move the needle
Donald Trump just now posts a full-throated endorsement of Andrew Cuomo on TruthSocial: "Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job."
Thanks for reading 👊🏼
