We’re only halfway through the 2025 CFB regular season, and it’s clear we’re headed to a full-on coaching carousel bloodletting.

Supposed institutions of “higher learning” have managed to negotiate themselves into paying $200 million to people who will no longer be working for them.

If it’s not okay to be anti-fascism anymore, is it still okay to be pro-democracy? 🤔

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.

The Indictment of Letitia James and the Collapse of Impartial Justice. The question raised by the prosecution of James is: would any other federal prosecutor have brought this case against any other defendant? The answer seems to be no. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Federal mortgage-fraud prosecutions are exceptionally rare. The amount allegedly at issue in the Letitia James case is so paltry that it would not normally draw the attention of federal prosecutors, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.

James Franklin's Penn State was ranked in the top five just 16 days ago 😳

On Sunday, he was fired after three straight losses.
