"Person in pajama pants confronting federal immigration agents" seems to be a developing trend.
The photo below appears to have been taken during an incident that took place today in St. Paul, Minnesota.

We have a Nebraska State Board of Education member pushing hard for retention - forgive me if I don’t want to see our state suffer more long term consequences due to chasing short term perceived moral victories.
Turns out that holding kids back if they can't read by 3rd grade is good for temporary test score increases but terrible for the adults the kids become www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

In true @sickoscommittee.org fashion, victory fist shake while waiting for my kid’s soccer pregame in Tulsa. Ugly Iowa Sickos football. Love it.

Dive in folks. My day job is spent making sure kids are safe and taken care of - and this goes a long way for a kid who isn’t in their usual “home” at Christmas

So we can’t go back in time and change the outcome of the Iowa game, so I’m choosing to look forward. And man have we made some progress since not having a predictable offense. @scottdochterman.bsky.social ‘s OL article was spot on, look at 2023 just to compare- future is looking up

Friends, I am hoping to report back live from the stands- there is a literal Alberta Clipper coming to town. Iowa sickos say bring it on. Cold? My beer froze in the north endzone last Black Friday v Nebraska. We were born in the cold. Molded by it.

You wouldn’t think this is about a young man learning a new blocking technique where he gets to run through a guy’s screws (sternum) - but then do you know ball? Real @sickoscommittee.org stuff and I love it.

Hearing @stevengodfrey.bsky.social compare the College Football Playoff to a Dungeons and Dragons post game press conference just made me snort laugh. Well said.
Also “Boring is an asset in college football,” man oh man will my Hawkeyes put that to the test (complimentary).

Hawkeyes, after being held out of the AP poll, debuts at #20 in the first College Football Playoff Rankings, ahead of Michigan and Washington, and right behind USC, next week’s opponent.

2016 my son & I made a November trip to Iowa City to watch a ranked team come to town. We’ve gone every year since he was 4 (not counting 2020), and he’s 18 now….decided we’d make some memories this Saturday and water our Iowa roots. Let’s. Go. Hawks! Another field storm on tap?

That’s my tough looking daughter! Did she get accused of hitting like a linebacker? Yes. Did I puff out my chest a little bigger? Also yes.

Spotted at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Halloween bash:
Giant ice sculpture with built-in luge. Pour booze in the top funnel and it chills and shoots out the bottom.
This monster? Likely $5K+ for one-time use.
