I am so furious at YouTube for doing this. You have literal gambling ads plastered across your website. The video you take action on contains no real gambling, and is promoting an LGBTQ+ children's charity fundraiser. Absolutely horrendous image and optics for the website. Completely moronic

Today, we had the honor of presenting Samantha with a Citation of Recognition from the Oklahoma House of Representatives, District 98, for her steadfast convictions, her commitment to speaking from a foundation of truth, and her courage in shining a light on serious concerns within Oklahoma's higher education system.
In a moment when social media and traditional media are flooded with misinformation, this story has drifted far from what actually occurred. Today, we were able to hear directly from Samantha herself, and she walked us through the real events in her own words.
With all the political noise and media distractions set aside, the truth was finally able to stand on its own.

The Oklahoma House of Representatives gave that girl an award for writing a terrible essay? For getting a trans person fired? This whole thing is an op.

The results from TN CD 7 tonight didn't net the Democrats a seat in the House, but they did demonstrate that an R+ 22 district moved solidly blue during the first 11 months of the Trump Administration. Just look at this beautiful map 😍

BREAKING: Dylan Cease Gets a MONSTER Contract from the Toronto Blue Jays - Bleacher Nation The Blue Jays have reportedly signed Dylan Cease to a seven-year deal.

7/$210M. Whatever we might think of that contract, I can say this with confidence: the Cubs were never, ever, ever gonna pay that much for Dylan Cease. www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2025/11...

Just Don't Use Shota Imanaga's Decision as an Excuse - Bleacher Nation The Chicago Cubs need an impact starting pitcher at the front of the rotation. Nothing has changed.

"My point is that the MONEY associated with Imanaga’s new ONE-YEAR deal SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT stop the Cubs from adding LONG-TERM at the top of the rotation if they were ACTUALLY sincere about trying to do that in the first place." www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2025/11...

I am very pleased to report Kirby Air Riders is as much, if not more of a delight so far than the GameCube game. The original is one of my favorites from that era, so I'm absolutely smiling ear to ear playing this. Wouldn't you know it, City Trial still rips

Few things are as tilting in gaming as entering the housing lottery in FFXIV seemingly uncontested only to lose a 50/50 (AGAIN) because someone entered last-minute. Truly the Miguel Rojas ninth-inning homer of this MMO that I hate to love sometimes.

The Night Kyle Hendricks Was Perfect It wasn't Joe Maddon, or Theo Epstein, or even Chris Bosio who chose Kyle Hendricks to stand over the billy goat, when the time came to kill it. Sometimes, baseball chooses the heroes it wants, and what's left to the chosen is to be undaunted.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

190. SNAP WTF? A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling?

Via "One First," me on what's going onβ€”and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it:
