Jonah Jackson: “You can feel the air getting sucked out of the defense after a while — just the wearing and tearing on them. … That’s a good feeling.” @danwiederer.bsky.social on another punishing effort from the Bears’ run game, especially on the final drive

Chicago Bears’ punishing final drive symbolizes the grit of Ben Johnson’s team (Gift Article)
With 232 rushing yards and a dominant edge in time of possession, the Bears are doing more than surviving without Caleb Williams.

a catch is when a possession consists of at least one football move, unless there is first intent that can clearly be observed. the if the intent is observed concurrently with the possession, the ball carrier must first establish zone in space. zone in space is an acquiescence of one's football self

First eyewitness accounts from this afternoon’s ICE shooting in Austin is here, from freelance reporter Emiliano Tahui Gómez.

Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such

Here in North Austin, where ICE agents appear to have shot an individual in his car. I spoke to two of the only witnesses.

Nedevia Bolaños and her husband, Carlos, own a business just off the intersection where the shooting happened. Shortly before 1 pm they says they heard what sounded like two gunshots. Carlos ran out first. A blue Toyota sedan and a black Escalade were stopped under the highway.Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such
 
He said he saw an olive-skinned man, seemingly in his 30s, leaning backwards against his seat. A masked agent was standing outside the car. The agent refused to answer questions. Within a few minutes as many as 10 other ICE agents arrived.

Carlos asked the victim if he was ok. "Yes," the man said in Spanish, but he looked exhausted. Carlos asked why they had shot him. "Because I didn't stop."Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such. 

Bolaños ran up next. She said she continously asked the ICE agents about why they'd shot him and if they were going to render aid. They didn't answer her. It was an APD officer who later arrived and cut open the young mans shirt, revealing a deep hole between his shoulder blades. The ambulance arrived about 10 minutes after and carried him off. "I've never seen all this. Thank God I'm a citizen," Bolaños said in Spanish. "Or I'd be living like this. In a dream of terror."

Governor Abbott's new claim in the Minnesota/ICE extradition case is that his office is looking into whether Castro "is a fugitive." One problem: #SCOTUS has held—over and over again—that governors in the "asylum" state don't have *any* discretion to make that kind of determination for themselves:

Bonus 244: Minnesota v. Abbott
Governor Abbott is ignoring his duty to extradite an ICE officer indicted in Minnesota. He has no viable legal claim, but may be trying to run out the clock.
