Now they tell me... well, I'll watch it for halftime, at least.
You can watch simultaneous ASL performances of tonight's pregame and halftime shows on the NBC Sports website, no subscription required. Bad Bunny will also have a Puerto Rican Sign Language performer.
It's split-screen with what you see on NBC so you still get the visuals.

Growing up, we always had cans of OJ concentrate in the freezer. But a pest is killing off the Florida orange groves.
Plus, with all the energy drinks, kambucha, probiotic and hydration drinks available, OJ just isn't the morning go-to beverage anymore.

If "not putting our service members in harm's way" is "not hostilities" --
Wouldn't firing ICBMs at other countries from the safety of our missile silos also not be hostilities?

Over the weekend, NYT and WaPo reported the Justice Department's argument for why War Powers Resolution should not apply to boat strikes.
It comes down to definition of the word “hostilities.”
Former State Dept attorney @bcfinucane.bsky.social writes the DOJ argument is "incorrect and dangerous.”

SNAP benefits are issued monthly, not all at once. And the "S" stands for "supplemental" - it's not intended to be enough to buy all the food you'd need for a month, let alone enough to buy a spare month's worth at the same time.
May this man’s food always taste a little off for the rest of his life.
Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.
He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

Maybe for housing the new, improved bunker he will barricade himself in after this term ends?
Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?
Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

Yes exactly.
NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy.
These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do.
