"But restrictions on robocalls and hidden fees are among the most popular policy proposals out there, on a bipartisan basis; two-thirds of Americans think that Congress should address these time-wasting, income-sapping frustrations."

Think about this?

What Climate Change Will Do to America by Mid-Century Many places may become uninhabitable. Many people may be on their own.

President Trump is pursuing a policy of climate-change acceleration. His actions are fueling global warming—and may leave places in the United States uninhabitable by mid-century, Vann R. Newkirk II writes. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

How America Got So Sick The health of a nation reflects the health of a democracy.

The “Make America Healthy Again” movement is only the most recent step in a long retreat from the U.S.’s public-health commitments, Vann R. Newkirk II argues. The health of a nation and the health of its democracy are intertwined.

I am no pro analyst, but I am sure there has never been an NFL team so amazingly fortunate for so many opponents.

The Bucs without Evans or Godwin, the Ravens without Lamar, the Bills without Kincaid, then Chargers without their OT's, the Texans without Nico Collins, and the Broncos without Nix.

It happened almost all year, even with the worst teams on their schedule.

This years Patriots, as you point out had a historically easy schedule, but as I watched week by week, I was amazed at how they also caught the teams they played at optimum lows.

Hi Aaron,

I am a Pats lifer since Carl Garrett and Jim Nance, and was a big fan of your football outsiders.

The Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy reminds us all of the irreplaceablability of a city sports page.

That's all he's good for. He ran off his wife, destroyed the remaining fragments of his reputation, and ruined WaPo, once one of the most respective news outlets in the world.

Is that the cartoonist who walked out when Bezos spiked the editorial endorsing Kamala Harris??

I hope so... it's perfect!

"Little Wing"

All my guitar heroes covered it, Hendrix, Clapton, Beck.

No short-armed OL will ever be drafted to play tackle again.

Maybe he can block Abdul Carter???

He may get a regular gig at the airport; you know, the guy with the orange sticks...

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

John Jackson @hissgoescobra Between the Tulsi Gabbard story, the House Judiciary Committee spewing Kremlin lies, and the Witkoff “12 trillion dollar” Dmitriev sellout, there’s a 5-alarm fire at the highest levels of the Trump administration and Republican Party. Buckle up. It’s here. Open your eyes.

Trump is happy to sell out both the US and Ukraine because he's a greedy traitor.

YouTube video by ProPublica Russell Vought: The Shadow President

As Russ Vought attempts to dismantle one of the nation's most prestigious scientific research institutions, watch @propublica.org's YouTube doc about who Vought is, how he got so much power — and what, in the end, he wants: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1Lu...

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

"It was never about adjudicating [Judge James] Boasberg’s behavior; it was about making splashy headlines and fueling right-wing attacks on the judiciary without regard to whether DOJ’s specious charges would withstand meaningful scrutiny."

Bonus 207: The Court's True Transparency Problem(s) Monday's New York Times scoop on Chief Justice Roberts having employees sign non-disclosure agreements would hit differently if the justices were *remotely* committed to more transparency elsewhere.

For today's bonus issue of "One First," I wrote about Monday's @nytimes.com scoop regarding Chief Justice Roberts having clerks and other employees sign non-disclosure agreements, and why #SCOTUS's transparency problems run far deeper and wider than just NDAs:

208. The Fifth Circuit Jumps the Immigration Detention Shark Late Friday, two of the nation's most right-wing circuit judges adopted an odious legal claim that district court judges from across the country (and ideological spectrum) have overwhelmingly rejected

“Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority view—that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”

Screenshot of a TikTok video with error message at top saying “your video is under review and can’t be shared right now.”

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

Pete Hegseth complained that the Pentagon sent officers to Harvard to study strategy and leadership — and they came back “too Harvard,” with “globalist, radical ideologies.”

In other words:

The military sent people to learn diplomacy, history, and international law.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
