I was in the car so I was listening to the Brewers radio broadcast. Obviously they were familiar with the ground rules and were having a hard time understanding what the fuss was.

I remember watching this and knowing absolutely nothing about it going in. I was amazed at how funny it was. And as I'm typing this I'm recalling a number of films that Broderick was in that were surprisingly good.

President Trump is tapping $20M in Homeland Security funds to pay for TV ads that heavily feature him ahead of the midterm elections, Democrats said Tuesday as the promos critics call propaganda come under bipartisan attack. @jonshorman.bsky.social reports for @statesnewsroom.com

We found some more fraud, waste, and abuse. The third government-funded Trump ad has been identified by AdImpact in recent days. The latest ad is nearly identical to a video Trump posted during his 2024 presidential campaign. It shows him walking down a hallway declaring, “This is the final battle.”
