Second-placed Manchester City have 25 points. Only one of the last 11 Premier League champions has had fewer than 28 points after 13 matches of their title-winning seasons (Man City had 23 at this stage in the COVID impacted 2020-21 season).

Just awful. This gal is exactly the opposite of who they claim they're targeting. Her lawyer "said she had been deported in violation of a court order that a federal judge signed on Friday."

Opinion | The state of Louisiana owes $172 million to three men who coached or will coach the LSU football team. Here's my scolding op-ed about a blue state's investment in a middle school math tutoring program.

I named my fists "Dunning" and "Kruger" because I haven't trained in any sort of martial art but am confident I would do pretty well.

The solution here is not no information, as the realtors would apparently prefer.
It is better information about risk for home buyers.
The information will come to light anyway as soon as the buyer tries to get insurance.

It's giving Neymar's sister's birthday
Lucas Paqueta, who has just come back from a suspension, is shown a red card for West Ham against Liverpool.
He gets a yellow card for protesting the referee's decision, before continuing to talk to the referee — which earns him a second yellow.

Sounds like an instagram ad for an app that tells you how to do kegels.
Don't love strong floor, no ceiling. It requires too much explaining, like defund the police.
But what do we like instead?

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
• War criminals.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
