After poor showing against Predators, we’re about to learn something about these Blackhawks
How will Chicago handle its first real adversity since an impressive first quarter of the season raised expectations?

I agree. Civ Video Game rules apply. "I just conquered the earth as Rome, and now I'm rage-quitting the new games because a barbarian killed my scout. Maybe I should play as the Mayans, on an island map, just to reset my expectations a bit."
I believe the NFL rulebook states that "changing teams" the year after a Super Bowl win requires either the Browns or the Cardinals as your options.
Only by rooting for one of these squads can you complete the circle.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

That Lizza does not seem to understand just how terrible this makes him look is a great condemnation of the DC press.
unbelievable behavior from everyone involved here - Nuzzi for doing catch and kill, Lizza for sitting on this shit so he can sell newsletter subscriptions, RFK for existing

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.
Trump responds to a detailed report about his waning energy and propensity to sleep through on-camera events by calling the New York Times's Katie Rogers ugly
