This isn't a setback. This is sabotaging scientific and medical progress because Trump put conspiracy theorist hacks in charge of our government.

The FDA has refused to accept an application from Moderna to review its first mRNA seasonal flu vaccine, the company said, in another setback for the technology that’s been a target of some Trump administration health officials. https://cnn.it/4kt8iyn

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

The affidavit in support of the Fulton County warrant is some Sidney Powell-level horseshit.

Also, the statute of limitations for both these putative "crimes" is in the rearview.

There is definitely someone out there who needs a reminder that Jordan Love definitely played better than Caleb Williams all season, and in their head-to-head playoff matchup as well.

In 2022 I was at Cato, working to launch a journal intended to oppose national conservatism. I quit when my boss told me that I shouldn’t single Trump out for criticism, and I should describe Biden as about equally bad.

They say everyone should quit on principle at least once. That one was mine.

Also, "lack of parity" in the NFL is almost entirely due to the relative value of the quarterback position.

bsky.app/profile/bach...
That argument is easily disproved but it isn’t what people are truly annoyed about, regardless of what they say.

In the NFL, literally any team who wants to keep a top star they shrewdly drafted can do so regardless of cost. In MLB that probably is not true, rightly or wrongly.

The End.

But if you were looking for political commentary, the closest that you got was when he said “God bless America” in English.

Bad Bunny is not a scheduled part of the rollout but if you have his number, we’d be happy to bring him aboard for it.
just a heads up that PECOTA Week starts *TOMORROW* at @baseballprospectus.com. We do our best to respect everyone's Super Bowl hangover today (though we have many good articles up), but our projected standings, and PECOTA-based tools, plus a slew of articles will open up TOMORROW. I'm excited.

I need to lie down after seeing a '90s Fiat Multipla
We *loved* driving around in a rented Ford Taurus on our two family vacations in the US in the mid-90's. Felt very fancy and luxurious compared to our own car back home.

However, for us Euros the real most 90's car has to be the Fiat Multipla.
