“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Voting deadlines like this are important the USPS needs to explain how much time it takes to get a post mark by each post office and how variable it can be.

A retired Tennessee policeman who spent more than a month in jail over an anti-Trump Facebook post is suing the authorities responsible for his arrest.
Attorneys for Larry Bushart, 61, allege in the lawsuit that those responsible violated Bushart's First and Fourth Amendment rights.

Hey @minakimes.bsky.social is State Farm doing more commercials without Mahomes??
Is that because he is injured and recovering or is his advertising value fading (or is he too much money?).
Who covers NFL players and their non-football revenues?

I dislike DOGE and Elon Musk but this sounds like it should be funded privately or via an NGO.

The US can barely get NPR funded and most of it private or corporate donors.

Is why John Cena quit?
Pro-wrestling legend Mick Foley announced this morning that he's parting ways with WWE over the organization's "close relationship with Donald Trump," saying the president's "incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me."

This is why we do not scream MVP at a Patriots QB.
And I don’t blame Drake Maye.
But the Patriots coaching hasn’t been MVP-level.
Bills just owned the 2nd half.
Patriots needed to stop their momentum building in the 2nd quarter.

What the heck happened in the 4th quarter?
“The Falcons' win probability was as low as 4.8% with 13:29 left in the fourth quarter (trailing 28-14) in their 29-28 comeback win over the Buccaneers.
The Buccaneers' chances of making the playoffs drop to 53%.
It would have been 80% with a win.”

Bills are in trouble (but to be fair the Pats allow opening TD’s as well).
But the Bills just let the Bengals have a TD on an opening drive.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
