What’s most striking about this isn’t even the blatant hijacking of the fan experience for the uber-rich: It’s the formation of a FOR PROFIT company by the university backed by private equity. The University is now just an engine for profits, guaranteed to steer the school away from academics.

Racism is dead in the United States according to our Chief Justice John Roberts, so it’s just a weird one-off that police in North Carolina were having a contest to see how many black people they could pull over, oh, and shoot at. www.wbtv.com/2026/10/12/r...

Racist texts from officers leads to internal Charlotte-Mecklenburg police investigation

According to sources who spoke to WBTV on the condition of anonymity, the text thread between some officers includes a competition over who can pull over the most black drivers.

And I blame Trumpism for robbing America of our well-deserved collective guffaw over the train wreck that was Kristi Noem, her husband and Corey Lewandowski. The absolute shitshow of humans who have been placed in positions of power has taken away our ability to just burst out laughing at them.

As I first reported on Monday, Katie Zacharia is not a lawyer and has never been licensed to practice law. The WSJ reports that she took the California Bar Exam but failed. Nevertheless, Zacharia appeared on media programs for YEARS and repeatedly called herself a lawyer. Here's a super cut:

The report extensively documents the failures by the contractor, forced to rush work by the President, as the reason for the failures. At the release of the report, an Interior spokesman STILL blamed “vandals.” The lies will continue until the truth no longer exists. wapo.st/4yLlkxj

So in the past few days Trump has taken sanctions off Russia’s energy, asked to buy diesel from Russia, restricted SpaceX Starlink, stopped sharing intel on incoming missiles, & asked Europe to unfreeze Russian assets to give to Russia. Hope Americans aren’t confused on who he works for

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

First off can confirm. Second, Bolling went through an amazing transformation in the past decade, turning it into just a stunning place. The views of DC, the amenit, everything about this place was built to honor our best. The river views from their housing there would cost $25m anyplace else.

So basically Trump just gave Russia a lifeline simply to improve his own political picture. Within 24 hours Ukraine proved to the world that Russia is nearly solely responsible for technical and social attacks on our country that have caused incalculable damage. Period. No Debate.
