Oklahoma scoring a TD on a fumble return but losing their best defender in the process is pretty much the Venables era in a nutshell so far

An undeniably beautiful shot from today’s Thunder parade that captures the growth of the city and what it has overcome over the last 30 years to get to this moment β€” and just how much that title means to OKC.

Out of an abundance of caution my Department of Public Safety is recommending that people do not attend any political rallies today in Minnesota until the suspect is apprehended.

This is a shocking development. Two leading Democratic lawmakers and their spouses in Minnesota were shot in their homes early this morning by a man possibly impersonating a police officer. This is the kind of violence we have been warning about. www.fox9.com/news/brookly...

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Strong power move for Team Cancer.

Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women, GOP senator says Louisiana's Bill Cassidy said the state's maternal death rate isn't so high if you "correct our population for race," Politico reported.

This is a rather telling statement. Nearly a third of women in Louisiana are Black. www.businessinsider.com/gop-senator-...
