Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

I think in honor of MLK Day, federal officials in Minnesota should stop arresting people because of the color of their skin. Seems like that would be appropriate.

Luke Farrell did not exactly help out his QB on that pass intended for him that Ernest Jones picked off. The rout has been on for a while now, and it just got rout-ier (or rowdier).

The NFL will take 11 minutes to review a six-yard reception in the fourth quarter of a 25-point game. The NFL will not, however, review a franchise-changin play in overtime of the Divisional Round.
In the NFL, every close play gets carefully reviewed with instant replay, except for a playoff-altering overtime change of possession.

Don't be fooled by people saying "other agencies do multi year funding (True), it'll be fine! (False)"
If NIH had been doing multi-year funding for the last 20 years, yeah, it would be fine, but switching now basically sucks up the budget without funding new grants.
