Horace could fly (his 11-TD season was my first as a fan). Knee injury shortened his career.
When we start calling TreVeyon “Hendu,” that’s when he’s in the club for good.

So far, the tariff rates the President is sending to countries today either closely match or are slightly lower than what he threatened on April 2.
So both in terms of tariff rates and deadlines, this is a slightly softer stance overall. Nothing takes effect until Aug. 1.

NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.
As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.
