Defensive end on HS freshman B team. Intercepted screen pass returned untouched (60, 70 yards?). They got a touchdown later. 6-6 final.

Next time, if you're in the neighborhood, visit the original on lower Michigan ave. Dripping with history among other things. Hope your location had Old Style as well as Coors Light and Garage. Breakfast sandwiches are delicious.

A Comment: "Imagine being an employee at a company that has NEVER turned a profit and showing up to work in these shirts." on a picture of WNBA players wearing shirts that say “PAY US WHAT YOU OWE US”

"Imagine being an employee at a company that has NEVER turned a profit and showing up to work in these shirts."

This caption, shared to 122K followers, is intended to mock the WNBA players wearing “PAY US WHAT YOU OWE US” tees.

This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.”

I have some thoughts.🧵

Read the ICE document for yourself that Karoline Leavitt refused to answer questions about. It says exactly what @AndrewFeinberg said; all it takes is "8 points" on a made-up rubric, and that can be just a tattoo (4 points) and displaying "logos" or "symbols" (4 points).

Happening now: rally for Trans Day of Visibility at Chicago’s Federal Plaza.

🔥BREAKING NEWS: Two sources have told me that the Department of Veterans Affairs payroll system (VATAS) has been down since Friday. It is operating in 'Emergency Mode' only and will have to resort to straight time cards to get people their base pay on Friday.

The Department of Education, among other things, is what funds special education for children with disabilities.

Trump’s executive order will hurt kids and parents in virtually every school district in the country.

A news article headline reads, "White House Plans to Pause $175 Million for Penn Over Transgender Policy." The subheadline states that the decision is part of a broader effort to push universities to end diversity programming and adopt stricter discipline. Below the text is a photograph of a historic building on the University of Pennsylvania's campus, with a statue in the foreground and leafless trees framing the image. The article is authored by Alan Blinder and Michael C. Bender, published on March 19, 2025.

A news article continues discussing the Trump administration's decision to suspend $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania due to its policies regarding transgender athletes. The article references a White House social media account announcing the move, citing Penn's support of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as a justification. A response from Penn states that they have not received official notification and assert they are in compliance with all relevant regulations.

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

As always, not a lawyer, but one thing that leaps out at me about how things are going down in the courts right now is that the US court system is not designed to be responsive to a crisis like this one. A crisis like this one is not what it's FOR.

All right, fine.

The second Trump administration as villains from the Batman TV show.

Let's do this.

this program allows food banks to purchase from local farms and other producers allowing local businesses to thrive while also feeding the community. it’s reliable money for local businesses that are going to disappear without it

1. Happening now, the United States Senate is considering S9, a bill that would ban transgender people from playing sports of their gender identity from chess to darts and everything in between.

It could result in genital exams and more.

Farmers are worried after Trump released billions of gallons of water in California Last week, the Trump administration released significant amounts of water from two dams in California's Central Valley, with Trump claiming the action would have prevented the Los Angeles fires. Water...

Forgot this one. Trump released water from two reservoirs in Central Valley, allegedly to help LA fires (even though the water doesn’t flow to LA). This nearly flooded local farms and wasted billions of gallons of water that farmers expected to use this spring and summer www.npr.org/2025/02/07/n...
