Enough people to convince the GOP that sticking with Trump is their best method of survival.

It's all about the yellowcake.

Live Updates: Iran Says Supreme Leader Died During U.S.-Israeli Strikes

Here's the NY Times live blog of the US/Israeli attacks on Iraq. Start at the top and see how long it takes you to find *anything* that mentions the two schools destroyed by Western bombs.

I don't know, Elina. I really don't. 💔

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

Now, 57 years later, NASA is saying it will be at least two years from the test flight around the moon to the crewed landing.

And that's without a dress rehearsal mission like Apollo X.

I don't want them to rush and cut corners. I'm worried they are taking their time and still struggling.

I see a lot of people comparing the new Artemis III mission to Apollo IX. That's a very fair comparison. Artemis II lines up with Apollo XIII and Artemis IV is obviously Apollo XI.

Here's the problem. Apollo XIII launched on Dec. 21, 1968. Apollo XI launched on July 16, 1969. That's 207 days.

Amusingly for a game in Ottawa - Canada's capital - neither team had a Canadian Olympian.

I'm pretty sure that was the first 18-minute horn delay in my 36 years covering the NBA.

‘You'll have to ask my husband:’ House Republicans say Hillary Clinton punted questions on Epstein The former secretary of State testified for roughly six hours, paving the way for Friday’s scheduled grilling of former President Bill Clinton.

When you just repeat the talking points it ain’t journalism www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

They are the best team in the NBA when they are healthy. They aren't at that level right now, but they still have some serious talent.

Yep. It was coined by a team that hasn't won a title in 42 years.

Every point in tonight's Red Wings-Senators game - three goals and five assists - was scored by an Olympian.

All three goals (B. Tkachuk, D. Larkin (2)) and one assist (J. Sanderson) came from US players. Two assists (L. Raymond (2)) came from Swedes and two (M. Seider, T. Stutzle) from Germans.

2005 was a lot of fun to cover.

That's why I said "if".

The Red Wings had two 5v5 goals in their last five games before the break, and they don't have one yet tonight.

That's becoming a huge problem.

It would be an amazing feat, but someone has to come out of the East. It's a rule. The Pistons are flawed - shooting 3-pointers is important - but so is everyone else.

They would obviously be an underdog in the finals, but that was also true in 2004.

I don't know about that, but they would certainly be the favorites.

Obviously.

If this is an NBA Finals preview, the Pistons are in great shape. However, the Thunder are now missing their top six scorers, so they might be better in June.

Absolutely to both. The latter was quite rare.

He's one of the three players who didn't attend SOTU.

The Athletic still has a story up with the headline "Twenty U.S. men’s Olympic hockey players to attend Trump’s State of the Union address" quoting an anonymous source (obviously) from USA Hockey.

But it wasn't 20. According to their own site, it was 17. It seems like a correction is in order.

Dozens of FBI records apparently missing from Epstein files, including Trump accuser interviews | CNN Three interviews related to a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago appear to be among the missing files in the DOJ release.

Dozens of FBI witness interviews from the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein appear to be missing from the files released by the Department of Justice last month, according to a CNN review – including interviews related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago.

I can't even begin to tell you how much that means to me.

An interesting NHL storyline going forward - there are suddenly a bunch of Americans who are two-thirds of the way to the Triple Gold Club:

Swayman, Eichel*, M. Tkachuk*, Lacombe, Thompson, Keller, Werenski, and Guentzel*.

(* needs World Championship)

The Pistons do a lot of things well, but they aren't going to make a deep postseason run by shooting ... *checks* ... 19% on 3-pointers.

Kevin Huerter obviously wasn't the answer.

If you do a Google search on "Dylan Larkin LGBTQ", you will see a FB story about him refusing to wear a rainbow captain's armband because politics don't belong in sports.

The story is AI garbage.

People are citing that story and others like it to "prove" something. None of them are real.
