For this piece I spoke to Bo Byram, Dylan Cozens and Claude Giroux about what it’s like going back somewhere after they’ve been traded. It would be a delight to have you read it at my new site

Source confirms that Marc Bergevin is joining the Sabres front office as an associate general manager. He had a lengthy run as the Canadiens general manager and was most recently serving as a senior advisor for the Kings.

The Trump administration is adamant that people not take or share photos of the White House destruction, so please keep this photo amongst us.

β€œAnna, Lindsey Halligan Here.” My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

Lawfare: β€œOver the next 33 hours, Halligan texted me again…Through the whole of our correspondence, however, there is something Halligan never said: She never said a word suggesting that she was not β€œon the record.”

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.

I know what l'm doing at 11:30 pm tonight: turning on ABC to see if they're airing Jimmy Kimmel Live. If they DON'T, I'll note of every commercial that's run & I will boycott every single advertiser. If they DO air Kimmel, I will make a note of every commercial and I will SUPPORT those advertisers.

Just wait: Tylenol's gonna pay Trump $10M, and he's gonna come out next week saying that actually it's Advil that causes autism.

He got an entire country running on clean energy. Can he do it again? RamΓ³n MΓ©ndez Galain helped Uruguay decarbonize its grid in just five years, with 98 percent of its energy coming from renewable sources.

His new vision is to see Uruguay’s success story replicated in other countries.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

Trump Muses About Being A Dictator Trump made the comment while attacking critics of his federal police takeover in Washington.

I don't know any person who would say, "maybe we'd like a dictator."

It is rare for a nation to go from a democracy to an authoritarian state, but for those that do, the strongman keeps pushing the limits of power until an authoritarian state exists.

What do you think is going on here folks?

It's quite clear President Trump wants to talk about anything else other than the Epstein Files.

Where there is smoke there is fire, and this is turning into a 10 alarm inferno. There is an easy way to resolve whether the current president was involved in the Epstein matter: #ReleaseTheFiles. 2/2

President Trump today accused President Obama of treason. In normal times this would be a blockbuster. However, we don't live in normal times, so much so, that former President Obama's office issued a response saying "These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction." 1/2

JBD being on the team or some other 6-7 defenseman makes no impact on the sabres making the playoffs. Johnson can take that same role.

At some point, Republicans are going to learn what the Department of Energy does, right?

Like... they have to learn at some point that it runs nuclear reactors and doesn't operate oil fields or whatever.

What’s interesting/ignorant about this is that we *do do the big things here - the AI and the weapons systems. And we don’t do T shirts and textiles at scale.

Once again, he has no idea how any of this works.

Are white South Africans facing a genocide as Donald Trump claims? US President Donald Trump says a genocide is taking place in South Africa, a claim a judge dismissed as "imaginary".

Highly recommend this BBC explainer debunking the false conspiracy theories promoted by the far right alleging β€œwhite genocide” in South Africa. www.bbc.com/news/article...
