given my experience with him, I saw disaster coming - belichick? at 72? coaching college players? in the nil era? - but goddamn, this is unraveling insanely quickly

Per sources: Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with North Carolina’s hierarchy. Belichick has signalled a willingness to trigger his own $1 million buyout if he can find a soft landing with another team or in media

Members of Belichick’s coaching staff have already spoken to other schools that are expected to be in CFB Playoff about taking on roles during the postseason. From one coach: “the rats are leaving the ship”.

Some staffers believe a change will come within two weeks

or - or! - hear me out here - we could - COULD - have a system that treats all of us, no matter what kind of health care we require or want! regardless of employment, wealth or citizenship

revolutionary, I know! it’s not like every other major country on the planet has that system!

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

the lives of millions of people globally at risk after a vital program that cost each of us pennies a year to fund was just ended.

brought to you by the richest person in the history of the world.

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 21h

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Ezra Klein’s remedy for progressing the Democratic Party is to prove to MAGA that “we” like them. Shalise Manza Young explains why that makes absolutely no sense.

so any airport delays are because of his hatred of Black women. got it.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: Are you concerned about the delays at airports?

TRUMP: Oh sure. They're all Democrats delays. There are delays at the airport. That's standard ... I look at people with very low IQs like Crockett, this woman Crockett. I've never met her but she's a low IQ individual

“My biggest fear is going to the hospital."

Pregnant immigrants are terrified ICE will show up outside the doctors' office or at the hospital. So they're skipping the care necessary to ensure a healthy birth.

Some experience dangerous complications as a result.

ICE fears put pregnant immigrants and their babies at risk

Fear of deportation is deterring people without permanent legal status from critical care. Doctors are worried for their health — and the health of their pregnancies.

this is deeply, deeply misleading. this photo is from Los Angeles in 1992. I’d say shame on cnn but this is the same outlet shoving that simp clown Scott whatever down our throats.

based on the out of control violence from agents of the state in chicago, it bears repeating that at least one incident like the philly police bombing of the move compound is likely coming

I realize I’m looking for logic and intelligence where there truly is none, but how can you boast that the us has the most lethal fighting force in the world - present tense - a military that Black people enlist in at disproportionate rates, while also screaming that diversity is not a strength?
