Padilla: Do you believe government officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not?

Bondi: I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump.

Padilla: I asked a simple yes or no question

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

What a drive:

- Burn 43 seconds and a TO on two Trevor scrambles
- Gorgeous, world-class throw up the sideline
- Delay of game with a stopped clock
- PI at exactly the right time
- Trevor trips and scrambles for a TD anyway

Important to note ICE tends to drop off detainees before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m., which is why people were protesting at 5 a.m. to begin with. It's not because waking up at 4 a.m. was a convenient time for protesters!

New: Broadview, IL Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an executive order today - her first this year - limiting protest outside the Broadview ICE facility to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The order cites "recent escalation of violence by ICE" at the facility as reason to restrict protest there.

They’re the second team in postseason history with more home runs than strikeouts in their first two games of a single postseason, joining:

2005 White Sox, 6 homers & 4 strikeouts

Washington D.C. - Bijan Robinson has been selected as the Week 5 NFL Players
Association (NFLPA) Community MVP after hosting a book fair for more than 7,700 kids in Atlanta.
After learning nearly 70 percent of third-and fourth-grade Atlanta students were reading below proficient level, the Atlanta Falcons running back felt compelled to do his part in addressing the growing literacy rate crisis. On September 23, Robinson welcomed students from more than 35
elementary schools in the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) district to Mercedes Benz
Stadium for a memorable event.
