CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Between this and the fact that 3 WEEKS AGO they were #3 in the country and in the game to the end with Oregon, this may be the most rapid transition from at the top to fired. (I know there's a long history here, but still)

Horrible situation in Pagosa Springs, where 3.05” of rain in the last 2 1/2 days has led to devastation in downtown Pagosa. Thinking of our friends there. What a beautiful place.

Chaos continues at the CDC as now HHS says some firings were "mistakes." I talk about why all of this matters for those concerned about weather and climate science. Also, serious coastal impacts along the East Coast today while flash flooding continues in areas of Southwest. tinyurl.com/bdf3tfjw

I am not joking when I say that one of the most serious regrets of my life is that I spent the time to read this guy's book years ago given that it is now clear he is an utterly despicable human being.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 19h

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Yeah, that explanation certainly makes it less deceitful seeming on Kirby's part - but I doubt it is going to make anyone in Auburn feel any better about the officiating last night.

Just to be clear, the idea that these firings are needed to ensure that the troops gets paid is absolute and complete bullshit.

WELKER: During the 2019 shutdown when Trump was president, no federal workers were laid off. Why are these firings necessary?

VANCE: Who do we care more about- federal bureaucrats or the troops getting the payment they need?

WELKER: But layoffs are a priority?

VANCE: They have forced us to choose

I mean, not long before that, Freeze called TO because he thought the refs missed a call and wanted to give replay extra time to review it and they didn't let him have the TO back. If he called TO to gripe about them missing something, I cannot imagine the refs would have just given him the TO back.

Alan Gerard @wxmanms1.bsky.social · 8h

Just keeping it real, man - I think the reason why pundits aren't giving him the benefit of the doubt is that explanation doesn't make much sense either. There's plenty of times coaches think refs are missing things, and they don't get to call TO to point it out and then get their TO back.
