From 1950 through 1995, the entirety of MLB's postseason aired on free TV. Here's where that line has gone every year since then.

The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere two years ago, the mental & physical (lack of) acuity of Elderly Presidents was the Great Issue of Our Time. The double standard on this is, of all the double standards, the most maddening. Where are Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson & all the rest?

WHY are U.S. media companies accepting what they KNOW are STOLEN funds & running ILLEGALLY paid for ads on their networks? This is media being complicit in helping Mobster Trump & his Nazis STEAL American taxpayers' money to fund propaganda ads. Media DON'T have to take the money/run the ads!

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: All agencies and departments subject to my authority shall refer to Artificial Intelligence and Al as "Artificial Intelligence" and
"Al," notwithstanding any rebranded or different terminology used by the federal government, unless inconsistent with the law.
I FURTHER DIRECT that as soon as hereafter possible, this Order be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State and that widespread publicity and notice be given of this Order.
This Order is not intended to, and does not, create any rights or benefits. substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, against the State of California, its agencies, departments, entities, officers, employees, or any other person.

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.

Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

The Patriots are now last in offensive DVOA. This table shows the biggest drops in offensive DVOA from one year to Week 3 of the next year, only including teams where the previous year's QB started all 3 games. Some QBs like Brees and Favre dug out of these holes.

I do appreciate this quote from the head of the Working Families Party: "He's the political equivalent of Windows 95 — an operating system without an application in the modern era."

"He’s like the political equivalent of Windows 95 — an operating system without an application in the modern era,” said Maurice Mitchell, the national director of the Working Families Party, a progressive group. “I don’t know what counsel he has to offer people who are running in competitive elections in 2026.”
