I'll be sure and chastise my daughter for getting diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 3 and my wife for getting breast cancer at 39.
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

As a long-time fan and proud graduate, I've experienced a lifetime of disappointment amid unreal expectations. This was one of the grittiest and most impressive performances I've ever seen. So proud of those young men. #GigEm
Marcel Reed threw for a career-high 439 yards and three touchdowns as No. 3 Texas A&M rallied from a 27-point deficit to remain undefeated with a 31–30 victory over South Carolina, the biggest comeback in school history.

Never doubted them (I definitely doubted them).
Texas A&M leads South Carolina 31-30 after trailing 30-3 at halftime.
A 99-yard TD drive to take the lead in less than 20 game minutes.
College football!

Can confirm. We used to yell at him here in OKC not to shoot. Now we yell at him to shoot. But we still love him and always will.
Note to Wolves: You do not have to contest Russ's shots. He will miss them of his own accord.

A reminder this #WorldDiabetesDay that insulin rationing is still very much a problem in the United States, despite recent policy changes and PR moves by pharmaceutical companies. One in four patients in the U.S. still ration insulin.
Insulin Rationing Persists Despite Policy Changes, Study Shows
Yale researchers have found that despite new policies addressing insulin costs, the proportion of patients who ration insulin due to cost remains unchanged.

Man, if my feed is any indicator, the @democrats.senate.gov are about to commit the biggest political own goal in recent memory. This is a colossal failure of leadership on so many levels, and will have huge ramifications. Shame on @schumer.senate.gov and all of you who are a part of this.

And doing all this without Jalen Williams...
Get down to the Clippers by a dozen in the first five minutes of the game — yawn, stretch. Tie it back up before halftime, rip off a 70-point second half, open up a 25-point lead, cruise to an eighth straight win. What, like it's hard? yhoo.it/4oRLWHI

NBA Walking Take with me and Luca with @joinoffside.bsky.social are the Thunder going to go 82-0 this season? They aren’t even fully healthy yet and we are just don’t talk about them enough.

I received an email from the USDA today that my federal accreditation has lapsed. I can no longer issue certificates of veterinary inspection, submit diagnostic samples, or perform any of the other duties I've performed for almost 20 years. I submitted my renewal a month before the expiration date.

The team was clearly tired from a tough win in Dallas last night, the crowd was a little flat on a Tuesday against Sacramento, but in the end the #Thunder and the fans did what they do and got the W. Love this team, love this city. #NBASky #OKC #ThunderUp

The fact that he's NOT apoplectic tells you all you need to know about this man.
REPUBLICAN Senator Lankford on Trump bombing boats and killing people with no due process or real evidence they’re drug-related: “The administration needs to give Congress insight on this. If this was happening under Biden with this level of insight I’d be apoplectic.”

This is awesome. And the unicorn is a friend of mine (seriously). Good job OKC.
Great turnout today in OKC even with the rain and wind.
