There'll be deferrals and such that lower the actual value of the deal which is a reminder that Tucker signed to be on the Dodgers more than he signed for their money. It's very annoying that they're this committed to winning because players see it and want to join in, then the cycle continues.

I do not know if we will win. But I need to act as though we will. Because the alternative is giving up. And that is unthinkable.

Negative double digits across the board.
Add in Epstein Files, and he's -30 on that.
Trump is weak, MAGA's policies are unpopular, and he has NEVER HAD SUPPORT OF 50% of the country.
This should shame every institution that has bent the knee and continues the bend the knee to this fascist regime.

Trump administration terminates around 2 billion in mental health, addiction grants
* NPR…
The Trump administration sent shockwaves through the U.S. mental health and drug addiction system late Tuesday, sending hundreds of termination letters, effective immediately, for federal grants supporting health services.
Three sources said they believe total cuts to nonprofit groups, many providing street-level care to people experiencing addiction, homelessness and mental illness, could reach roughly $2 [...]

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.
I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern.
As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more.
Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.

Israel has held 16-year-old American, Mohammed Ibrahim, without trial, for 9 months.
He has been denied contact with family & his health is deteriorating. He says he falsely confessed to throwing a rock after being beaten.
America needs to secure his release NOW.
