Bears over the past four weeks are fifth in total team air yards per game but 17th in passing yards per game. No team has more air yards lost to dropped passes over that stretch.

The right's now hegemonic argument that cocaine is actually a chemical weapon and that mere suspicion of having it on your boat justifies an order to kill everyone aboard is astoundingly insane

RIP education at Texas tech
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

Ok but what if the president was part of a conspiracy to traffic 400 tons of cocaine from that country into our country?
Reporter: You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US—
Trump: Right
Reporter: Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?
Trump: If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president

At the center of Trump’s “plan to end the war” is $300B in frozen Russian assets that Russia wants to give US oligarchs for “investment projects”. Any reconstruction of Ukraine would be “US-led”. Witkoff, Kushner and Russians plan to revitalize Russia’s $2T economy through joint Russia-US ventures.
Ukrainian delegation is set to meet with Witkoff, Kushner and Rubio in Florida on Sunday. Reportedly, negotiations will focus on military aid and security guarantees.
It’s vital to note that any final agreement would require the Russian side’s approval [that has not shown any desire for just peace]

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.
