Rico Dowdle is the Panthers' best offensive weapon right now. The Falcons are weaker against the run than the pass. Why complicate things and bootleg Young instead of just giving the ball to Dowdle?

It would be great if she dropped her toxicity. But until she drops the dog whistles (she has continued them since her split with Trump) and calls out her toxic fellow travelers (she's still cheering on Tucker) or even her boyfriend, there's no reason to believe she's sincere.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

This is equivalent to saying, "Sure, he murdered dozens of people, but he didn't choose his victims in advance or carefully plan each killing. Just, every once in a while, he felt the urge and killed somebody at random. So, sure, it's not good, but it's not as bad a real first-degree murderer."
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

It is unconscionable to grab headlines away from the actual peace efforts and actual Palestinian oppression by Hamas going on now. It is unconscionable to lie about mounting evidence of genocide. It is unconscionable to call for disarming Israel and not Hamas.

It's not weird that he keeps saying exactly 88 for the capacity of the East Room when it can seat about 200, right?
Trump notes the sound of construction of his new ballroom at the White House and says, "that's music to my ears. When I hear that sound, it reminds me of money. In this case it reminds me of lack of money because I'm paying for it."

Or if she'd even said "off THE record" instead of "off record," which violates the time-honored phrasing we reporters use.
If she had only said "Off the record INFINITY!" she would be home free.

Nominations open for annual 20 Under 20
Each January, we feature students from metro public schools, private schools and colleges who have given back to their community in a significant way. Over the last nearly two decades, we’ve featured students who have created their own nonprofits, have given up summer vacation to work domestically and abroad to help the less fortunate and one even helped build a library by collecting books. The 17th annual 20 Under 20 will appear in our January 2026 issue and we are now seeking nominations of students ages 19 and younger who have committed themselves to service to the community.
