I’ll say this for Athan Kaliakmanis: kid is getting next to no help from his line, had zero time with the starters, and he still throws a nice ball.

Let’s take a gander: - Iran worse than ever -Trump goes (to sleep during meetings) - America 250 vibes were at best indifferent and frequently humiliating - Midterm convention drove GOP polling numbers down - Trump steals money for slain officer funerals to run illegal campaign ads

If this were Biden, the entirety of the White House press would be camped out on the White House lawn screaming at him to answer their questions 24/7. Tapper would be demanding that Biden be dragged from his office in chains. But Trump is their boy, so they're silent.

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit treating Deshaun Watson like any other QB, and nary a mention of two dozen sexual assault allegations as part of an already disgusting “redemption” arc they’ve spent all night trying to weave is really gross.

Not a bad idea. The NFL rightsholders have decided (likely with some Shield nudging) to erase Deshaun Watson's past and reframe him as a comeback figure who we are supposed to root for. He's a piece of shit and everyone contributing to this whitewash should be ashamed of themselves.

This is incomplete reprint designed to provoke. The bill had voter ID attached to it in order to get it killed, making it so Republicans could run this exact headline.

One of the most hilarious outcomes here is that Roberts, in attempting to both preserve the court and preserve his interpretation of the proper order, will preserve neither. His name will sit next to Taney’s until the heat death of the universe.
