Hi!
Do you hate cancer too? Please consider donating to my #JimmyFundWalk page.
I’m walking today in honor of my cousin and many other loved ones who bravely fought cancer. He was diagnosed and passed within five months of diagnosis in 2023.

ESPN just cooking their own asses for no reason. This is truly nuts. Trump hates sports and hates football and they put him front and center on their programming. This has zero to do with sports. If I worked for ESPN I'd be livid they're pushing Stephen A Politics and McAfee as their name brands.
Trump to Pat McAfee: "I'm only joining you because I hear you say such nice things about me. When people say nice about me, I join. When they don't say nice about me, I take a pass."

It's really incredible how the norm against the deployment of the military against Americans at home has completely degraded. What this man is describing is a flagrant violation of Posse Comitatus.
Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."
