In Mexico, I asked Lewis Hamilton about what pet ownership taught him about himself. A simple question... but one with a LOT of baggage in the #F1 paddock.
This is your sign to ask your questions, no matter what others think.

Do you think the Olympics will bar American athletes from competing under our flag this year like they've performatively been doing for Russians since their shithead dictator invaded Ukraine? How about the EPL forcing American owners to sell their teams?

Vance Boelter, a Trump, GOP voting Christian nationalist, was radicalized in part by QAnon, the same conspiracy promoted by Trump and Republicans, even though they knew it had radicalized others to commit violence.
Boelter had a hit list of 70 liberals. He killed Melissa Hortmann and her husband.

Let's be generous, here, and assume that by the solar system Altman wants to put the sphere outside the orbit of Neptune, and we'll just exclude the kuiper belt entirely.
That would be a sphere with a diameter of 6 billion miles.
Let's assume that it has the thickness of an eggshell: .3mm thick.

Behind the news a bit but that was a really clever finish by Bonmati. Kinda surprised that it was such a struggle against Germany but I think Spain are still the clear favorites for #Euro2025

Today's Clapback Mailbag uncovers the true story behind a historical narrative that stigmatized an entire group. The violent stereotype was based on one man's experience, yet no one had dared to ask this simple question:

Republican Congressman Bresnahan recently sold his stock in Centene, a Medicaid health care provider. The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale.
His sale seemingly coincides with his vote to advance Trump's budget bill that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.
