I can’t read the emails, too awful and ghastly. I can’t believe the Q people were like 50% right.

Literally robbing the Treasury
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

My personal opinions on Belichick aside, my larger on the Belichick/HOF thing is that this need for unanimity is making sports less sports-y and too clinical. Sports aren’t supposed to be perfect; it’s okay to disagree on things!

Not great when the Sickos notice how impossible your school’s football schedule is. At least we’ll get to lose by lots of points in a fancy new stadium!
I don't know who Northwestern pissed off, but this schedule is madness.

You've got a Dakota.

Pretty soon CBS News staffers are going to get emails asking them to list 5 work things they did last week
Below is the buyout offer all CBS Evening News staff received today.

"We hope you are excited about this vision, but we understand that some of you may not be, and we want to provide support. As such, we are offering an extraordinary chance to leave CBS News with an enhanced separation payment."

I actually forgot that happened
They wore yellow stars to complain about vaccine mandates
"Don't say forcing children into hiding to avoid being taken and sent to detention camps is like the Holocaust, that's degrading it," says party who historically calls letting pregnant people deciding whether or not they want to give birth a Holocaust.

Shouldn’t have to be said, but Anne Frank’s story is important because it is universal. It provides glimpses into the plight of the oppressed, no matter who or where they are.

The people who have manufactured this story are Anne Frank’s antithesis: they are kapos, a shanda far di goyim.

I predict CBS will be the primary vehicle through which RFK Jr. will launch a 2028 presidential campaign
In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

Lolololololol

Turns out when you’re a jerk to everyone they can turn back around and be jerks to you
A stunner from @dvnjr.bsky.social and me: Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get elected this year. The 8-time champion failed to 40 out of the 50 votes required for induction.

Sources: Bill Belichick will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer
Bill Belichick, the eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach, will not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, sources told ESPN.

I get that there aren’t yet votes for Abolish, but there’s no reason Dems can’t be talking about it as the ultimate goal.

250 years later the French are again backing the American populace against a tyrannical regime
Asked about Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama says, “PR has tried, but I’m not going to sit here and be politically correct.”

Then says “it’s crazy that people make it seem like … the murder of civilians is acceptable.”

Ah, the kindler gentler face
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Another must-read piece.
I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

"These agents, and the president who sent them, are no one’s heroes, no one’s saviors—just men with guns who have to hide their faces to shoot a mom in the face, and a nurse in the back."
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

No way to reform it, or retrain them, or whatever, rotten culture all the way down. Abolish.

If you removed “Browns,” this post could be from 80 years ago when the Cleveland Rams moved to LA the year after winning the NFL championship
The Cleveland Browns are currently flying back from Los Angeles to Cleveland. Discussions are ongoing, with the expectation the group will meet tomorrow morning to make final decisions.

I’ve thought about this a lot over the last few days. Aside from MLK and Malcolm X, and maybe Medgar Evers, those three were the most famous victims of the Civil Rights Movement.
I once asked my late uncle what he thought ended the legal Jim Crow era. He immediately responded that the murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner in 1964 were the moment Jim Crow died. When I asked him why he said: “When White folks fight White folks, it changes everything. Enough was enough.”

The thing is, though, the American people did vote for this. "Mass deportation" is one of the two things Trump is doing that he actually campaigned on (along with tariffs). Much of the media just never fully explained what it would look like, and those who did were dismissed as alarmist.

This is disgusting.
I think it's really bad that the group that claims to speak for Jews at Columbia University is so grossly xenophobic.

Also - Mamdani did grow up in NYC.
