I think conservatives made it clear that cake makers can't be forced to create a wedding cake for a gay wedding. You reap what you sow.
And then Philly goes for it on 4th???!!! These coaches are failing miserably at situational football here.

Now they punt on 4th? You're down 2 scores with 5 minutes left.

Going into Detroit, getting a W, and accounting for 3 TDs. Only QBs to do that since 2023: Josh Allen, Jordan Love, and now JJ MCCARTHY. What a game for the young man.

Dan Quinn lost his mind there. Challenging to gain 1 yard. And the context does not add anything either.

The Justice Department's acting deputy chief was caught on a hidden camera saying that the government will "redact every Republican" from an Epstein client list and "leave all the liberal, Democratic people."
DOJ deputy chief: government will "redact every Republican" from Epstein client list
The deputy chief later said his comments were not based on what he's learned from his role at the DOJ.

I was at this game. Adam Thielen's first NFL touchdown came on a blocked punt. It was so cold out that day. I didn't realize the Thielen thing until a few years ago because he was just an unknown special teamer at the time.

Wolff: I was talking to Epstein and he went into his safe and came out with photographs...

And it was Trump with girls of an uncertain age in Epstein's house...There are two in which topless girls are sitting on Trump’s lap—and then a third in which he has a stain on the front of his pants.

What is totally undeniable is they poured over these files with really only one thing to determine: could they release them without incriminating Trump and the answer was “absolutely not.”

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

Lieu: I also note the Epstein files that have already been released show that Trump is all over the files. He’s in multiple pictures with Epstein. There’s multiple videos of Trump with Epstein. There are plane logs of Trump on Epstein’s plane.

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

🚨THIS STORY IS INSANE. The Trump administration shipped a guy to be imprisoned in El Salvador without trial, in conditions worse than we treat even convicted serial killers, because he was in a picture standing next to someone with tattoos.

LITERALLY NO OTHER EVIDENCE.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

Went to No Kings protest in Annapolis. Went to afternoon one at the mall (smaller than the one at the State House). Good crowd and lots of cars honking in support. Kids had a blast.
