Not sure I can defend this, but Stevie Wonder’s five mid-70s records (from Music of My Mind to Songs in the Key of Life) are the only music I ever play on the 4th of July. They are America to me. They’re my Sousa marches.

Donald Trump was *humiliated* yesterday. Make no mistake, a man with such a brittle ego will lash out at innocent people to pretend he controls the narrative. He doesn't. We do.

University Rescinds Diversity Goal After Federal Warning Plus, what will happen to an established diversity program in the anti-DEI crusade?

The Trump administration warned U. of Virginia officials that the institutions was moving too slowly on its pledge to "dismantle DEI apparatuses." Here's what happened the next day. chroni.cl/43m75C9

Taking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:

“no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

The College That Mortgaged Everything Loans were a lifeline for Finlandia University. Until they weren’t.

Where do undergrads go to college? 🧵

In 2023, 76% of undergraduates attended a public institution of higher education, according to IPEDS (long may it last!).

This isn't hypothetical.

The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

Dear Canada-
Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever.

This tweet from Pee-Wee German has proved HILARIOUS.

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

Almost. Thats more my dad’s generation. He’s 88.

I’m old.

PS. I truly love you guys and appreciate what you do via your podcast. My opinion isn’t worth a hill of beans.

Maybe it’s just me, but 1) this topic is so raw right now and I’m trying to maintain my sanity by turning to you for refreshing content about sports; 2) raising $ for refugees is as relevant to fanbases as gun control, abortion rights or baby seals. Will I get a soapbox shaming about those, too?

Ok. I tried.

Hi. I’m a JMUSB fan and long-time listener. I also believe strongly in the refugee cause for which you are advocating. That said, I’m wondering if perhaps the JMU Sports Blog is not an apt space for a soapbox not at all related to sports. I appreciate you all and want nothing but the best for you.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

What on earth are you talking about?

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.
