the good news? Aho + Svech looked decent despite the massive black hole in their line still think that either FUS or Nadeau will be on the roster by the 4th game I think FUS fits better but I'd also understand Nads getting the call

good on these kids www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...
Seven Arizona State men’s hockey players asked the university’s president to place the Sun Devils’ coaching staff on administrative leave pending further investigation into the workout that left sophomore transfer Matthew Mayich on life support.

In a 26-page letter sent to ASU president Michael Crow on Monday and obtained by The Athletic, the players disputed numerous findings from the university’s initial review of the Aug. 20 workout, writing that Mayich did not receive water and was provided inadequate medical care after his collapse.

The players sent the letter anonymously through attorney Tim Casey because, they wrote, they fear retaliation from coach Greg Powers and his staff. The seven players — roughly a quarter of the roster — wrote that additional teammates share their views but did not join the letter because they have similar concerns about reprisal.

ICYMI: the Defense Department’s inspector general released a report showing the military’s inventory shortfalls and the damage from Iranian counterattacks* *(the report covers only the first 4 months of the war, from Feb. 28 to June 30) archive.ph/wBAFZ#select...
Iranian counterattacks damaged and destroyed “hundreds of buildings and structures” at U.S. military bases in Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the report said.
Additionally, dozens of U.S. military aircraft have been damaged or destroyed, including 30 Reaper drones, 12 KC-135 aerial refueling planes, four F-15 fighters and an A-10 attack jet.

fuck you too, buddy “The FEMA money is not flowing as fast as expected or as is needed in the state,” said an official within NC’s Department of Public Safety on the condition that his name not be used because of the state’s continued dependency on federal aid www.dcreport.org/2026/06/18/f...
On the ground in North Carolina, individuals cited DHS policies and the Trump administration when assessing FEMA’s response to Helene.

“If we got the rest of the FEMA money, we’d be wonderful,” said Tom Hall. “Donald Trump came in here and said, ‘I’ll build it back better than ever.’ … FEMA was here right from the start helping us. They were the ones that did the job. They came and found us. …The administration change just…it came to a screeching halt.”

Pierre LeBrun in The Athletic says Niki is still ready to move on www.nytimes.com/athletic/759...
Nikishin not backing off trade request

Defenseman Alexander Nikishin remains unsigned by the Carolina Hurricanes as camps get set to open.

The 24-year-old RFA requested a change of scenery after the season, and one thing that was made clear to me Monday is that the request remains in place.

ICYMI: NHL front-office confidence rankings: How fans feel about every team in 2026 www.nytimes.com/athletic/751...
Table showing Carolina Hurricanes’ grades for roster building, cap management, draft, trading, free agency, and vision, with A+ ratings and overall first rank from both public and fan base.Everything the Hurricanes touch seems to turn to gold and the recent run over the last years culminated in this moment. Adding Nikolaj Ehlers and K’Andre Miller, the Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake extensions, the Mikko Rantanen arbitrage — all of it not only led to the 2026 Stanley Cup win, but a potential era of dominance. The roster building has been meticulous, the player pricing has been second-to-none and the overall vision of continued excellence is what every other franchise should strive for.

The Carolina Hurricanes are the model NHL franchise, and while that’s arguably been the case for a few years, they now have the Cup to prove it.

good piece from Foreign Policy dot com: Yes, the Iran War Really Is Similar to Vietnam Trump’s war is “The Best and the Brightest”—but without the best and the brightest (archived version) archive.ph/FfGph#select...
Much has changed about the United States and the world since the Vietnam War, which was a human tragedy and a profound debacle from the perspective of U.S. power. But many of the basics of the cognitive blindness that Washington displayed in pursuing that conflict are on exhibit in the Iran war today. They have even deepened and become more glaring.

response from Tillis re: Blanche "I strongly believe that vetting executive branch nominees is one of the most important responsibilities as a US Senator. The American people deserve public officials who will faithfully uphold the Constitution and enforce the law fairly & impartially" sure, Jan 🙄
Thank you for contacting me about the nomination of the Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. I appreciate hearing from you.

I strongly believe that vetting executive branch nominees is one of the most important responsibilities as a United States Senator. The American people deserve public officials who will faithfully uphold the Constitution and enforce the law fairly and impartially.
From the outset, I made clear that I needed binding written commitments addressing two concerns: limiting the IRS audit settlement to the parties to the agreement and formally terminating the Anti-Weaponization Fund.

I am pleased that the Department of Justice has now issued formal orders addressing my concerns. The DOJ has terminated the Anti-Weaponization Fund and confirmed in writing that the audit settlement is limited to the plaintiffs and does not extend beyond the defendants in the lawsuit, the IRS and Treasury Department. These actions provide the clarity and legal assurances I sought, and address concerns shared by several of my Republican colleagues.

Based on these commitments, I support Mr. Blanche's nomination and look forward to working with him to restore confidence in the DOJ. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I will continue to carefully evaluate executive branch nominees and support qualified individuals who will serve the American people with integrity.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again about other important issues.

Sincerely,

 
  	

Thom Tillis
U.S. Senator

this needs to go up on a billboard in Cashiers
Representative Edwards knew or had reason to know that Staffer 1 and Staffer 2 were
uncomfortable with his conduct at least as early as May 2025. At that time, a senior staffer spoke to
Representative Edwards on behalf of both women. The senior staffer testified that Representative Edwards
“got very angry” and said she “didn’t understand the unique relationship” he had with them.36
Representative Edwards testified that the senior staffer “said that some of the staff were resentful over my
relationship with [Staffer 1] and [Staffer 2] because we exchanged gifts and because I did not ask [them]
questions in our staff meeting like I asked other members of the team.”37 Following the conversation, he
said he was “more aware of how the staff might be reacting to my relationship with [them]” but did not
appreciate that the senior staffer was expressing discomfort felt by the two women themselves and
continued his behavior.38 Instead, the Committee received evidence that Representative Edwards blamed
other staffers for “getting in the way” of his relationships with the two women, and that he would attempt
to “guilt trip” the women when they attempted to draw boundaries.39 Both Staffer 1 and Staffer 2 left
the congressional office due to the conduct described above, although they provided other
explanations to the Congressman.
