Vikings decision to fire GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, per @diannarussini.bsky.social:
• Misses in draft played large role in firing
• Team failed to secure Daniel Jones
• Opted against signing Aaron Rodgers, who showed interest in playing on a "below-market" deal

Horrible news, but good to see @bloomberg naming names of some of those selling facilities to the government, such as:
-- Real estate holding firm CBRE
-- Holding company of former Trump adviser Carl Icahn

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
