One of the classic Westminster Dog Show bits for me is when the in-arena announcer describes the dogs as like "a courageous little clown and an ideal companion" while they're trotting around. More athletic competitions need that kind of real-time commentary.

Everything moves so fast now. It's impossible to give every event the care and attention it deserves, especially when the bar is "at least no one died."
But what happened in Portland outside the ICE building was evidence of yet another escalation—and a terrifying harbinger of things to come.

"The SS should round up people at night instead of the street during the day" is a hell of a take.
This is why Walz won't actually defend his state. He doesn't want to stop what ICE is doing, he just wants better optics.

"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"
"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"
Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

Trump is nothing if not ready to sacrifice anyone and anything in order to save his own ass and the single most important thing that could happen right now is someone convincing him that the biggest driver of his unpopularity is not just Bovino and Noem but Stephen Miller personally

They aren’t backing down. They’re just threatening people in other cities. Still illegal. Still unconstitutional. Even if they haven’t yet backed it up by shooting someone in the face.
ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...
