A known sex trafficker and pedophile speaking on a sitting U.S. President for as long as said trafficker and pedophile did can’t lead to anything good, right?

This was from yesterday’s ABC News Live. Last night was an full sweep for Democrats, full stop. But they can't let up if they want to try and dig themselves out of this hole. Momentum has no owners, only renters. We’re about to see the wildest midterm election build-up in American history.

A judge had to tell the White House and federal government they couldn't weaponize food against their own citizens. Let that marinate the next time we hear “America First.”

He was our Marvin. He was our Prince. No one has ever, or perhaps ever will, embody the stage slogan “Virginia Is For Lovers” quite like D’Angelo. A VA legend. A VA icon. A VA blessing. Nowadays, we’re losing blessings quicker than we can count them.

Assuming no change, 2025 will be the first season where a division has four Black starting QBs for Week 1: NFC East. That is due to Russell Wilson joining the Giants. He will be the first Black QB to start Week 1 for NYG, the final franchise to check that box. @justintinsley.bsky.social

Dallas is still cursed by Jimmy's departure (aka firing. I know they won another Super Bowl with Switzer, but that was very clearly Jimmy’s team. You “fire” a guy who won two consecutive Super Bowls and that karma doesn't just leave.

With the stain of former owner Daniel Snyder in its rearview, the Washington Commanders now finds itself in partnership w/ another rich + powerful decision-maker: Donald Trump. As history has shown, that working relationship frequently comes w/ a cost. On a budding bond b/w President and franchise.
