US taxpayers just paid $10M for Trump’s trip to Scotland so he could cut a ribbon on his new golf course, but we “can’t afford” pediatric cancer research.

Buffalo Bills fact of the day @factupbills.bsky.social · 23/07/2025
Buffalo Bills Stat of the Day – Red Helmet Edition 🟥🪖 During the red helmet era (1984–2010), the Bills made the playoffs 11 times, won 6 AFC East titles, and reached 4 straight AFC Championships. That red lid became a symbol of toughness, grit, and one hell of a football team. #BillsMafia #Stat
