I kinda have to wonder if 1) the players got wind of the schedule before it was made public, and 2) if that had any impact on Chara coming back for one more year.

I don't want to sound naive, but this really is kind of incredible.
To the Coast Guard leadership signing off on this: You are trading your honor for political favor. By bowing to an administration that flirts with neo-Nazis, you are destroying the integrity of the service. If you can't define a swastika as hate, you aren’t fit to command. Period.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

This is honestly the closest I can come to a 'silver lining'.
The office is functionally vacant not just in a "he's very bad" sense but because he is literally unable to wield effective control over the government, and so non compos mentis that his orders are either disregarded as gibberish he'll forget or followed even though he's unable to validly give them.
“Oh damn, the president ordered the murder of his political opponents” is super bad and to a large extent so is “nobody under him lifted one single finger toward that goal” because who is exercising the power of the presidency at that point?

1) Yes, conservatives are really going there. Of course they are. They think it's fine.
2) It's clear who the nameless "somebody" is, as also shown by his behavior around teenage girls, his numerous statements about his preferences, and the birthday drawing he gave Epstein:
Donald Trump.

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."

Just cuz I suspect it's gonna be relevant: "underage women" is a contradiction in terms. There are adults and there are minors, who are children. Ditto "nonconsensual sex." That's rape. The only reason to play semantic games is because you benefit from obscuring the simplicity of these terms.

This is absolutely right.
The eight who signed off on this disaster of a deal were acting as a shield for colleagues who are up this cycle. Don't let any of them off the hook just yet.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
