Given that ads in favor of The Score Act are taking being blitzed all over college football broadcasts, here’s the other side of the issue.

The SCORE Act is Detrimental to ALL College Athletes and ALL College Sports, Athletes.org Details Why - Athletes.org

As Congress resumes from summer recess, Athletes.org (AO) is emphasizing the biggest threat facing both college athletes and college athletics as a whole: the SCORE Act. This bill, written almost excl...

This is insane. How can a ref run into the middle of a FG and stop the kick?? And it was good!

Refs owe #IU AT LEAST two calls, possibly three. 😡 I hope they take some time to reflect on their mistakes at the half.

Refs in IU-OR have been absolutely brutal. Missing obvious penalties all over the place.

Comey/Fitzgerald 1 - DOJ/Halligen 0

Fitzgerald gets the judge to issue an order contrary to the DOJ’s claims on a routine discovery matter. They are terrible at this.

Comey asked for a speedy trial because he believes DOJ won’t be ready.

Also, looks like Pat Fitzgerald is already losing his patience with Lindsey Halligan. The feds are holding up a routine discovery order.

"As of the date of this filing, the defense has received one page of discovery."

www.courtlistener.com/docket/71459...

Mr. Comey asserts that the first set of pretrial motions due on October 20,
2025, which the Court ordered at the arraignment hearing, demands that discovery
be produced on Monday, October 13, 2025. Naturally, at least some of this discovery
will inform the bases for the vindictive and selective prosecution motion that is to be
filed on October 20, 2025. As of the date of this filing, the defense has received one
page of discovery. The government contends that the term “deadline for pretrial
motions” refers to the deadline for the second tranche of pretrial motions, October 30,
2025.
To be able to fully articulate all bases for the first tranche of pretrial motions
including the vindictive and selective nature of this case; to be able to effectively
defend Mr. Comey; and because it is the plain language of the standard discovery
order, Mr. Comey respectfully requests that the Court enter the additional proposed
order making clear that “the deadline for pretrial motions” referenced in the standard
discovery order is the first pretrial motions deadline of October 20, 2025.

Trump launched the TrumpRX website today.

It has a photo of Trump and an AI-generated family with too many fingers and mangled toes.

TrumpRx Is a Narcissistic, AI-Generated Nightmare

AI art really has become the aesthetic of grifters and fascists.
