the Barbara Kruger mural the chase is happening in front of reads:
"WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS BOUGHT AND SOLD? WHO IS FREE TO CHOOSE? WHO DOES THE TIME? WHO FOLLOWS ORDERS? WHO SALUTES LONGEST? WHO PRAYS LOUDEST? WHO DIES FIRST? WHO LAUGHS LAST?"

I am one who was fooled as to EK'S nature for years. Maybe he was different before becoming an established insider? Matt Yglesias was easier for me to clock

While it's kinda sweet to see guys helping their teammate pick his teeth off the ice, I agree.

I make those kinds of slips all the time. It's human nature. Brain gonna make associations, appropriate or not, and steer you unconsciously. Go easy on yourself

Weird but predictable, given the size of pro women's hockey. I hear that many of the college women hockey players are 🔥🔥🔥, which is a great sign for the growth of the sport.
The money is very unequal. One player said that the PWHL requires full face protection because there's no dental coverage

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

Boldy had a great game. The Russian line was also good. But, damn, quite a few players were not sharp tonight. Faber, in particular, looked off, especially compared to last game. Maybe his mind is on Milan? Maybe he has the locker room bug? Ah, well. 2 pts
