After Brandon Aiyuk failed to attend meetings and declined to participate in 49ers team activities, sources say the team responded by voiding the guaranteed money in his contract for 2026, asserting that the absences amounted to a failure to fulfill his contractual obligations.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

The Coast Guard reversed its 'swastikas aren't all that bad' policy just hours after the Washpost broke the story.
It's both surprising, and good, to see that one government agency these days is capable of being embarrassed, and changing course quickly.

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

“People should dress up more when flying” is just the most tedious and uninteresting take. Talk to the airlines about treating people a little less like livestock first, Road Rules Sean
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

The vice president and other prominent Republicans keep insisting that all people left of center are somehow responsible for an individual assassin, and that seems not great?
JD Vance: "Don't let the debates we're having internally blind us to the fact that we're up against a radical leftist movement that murdered my friend a couple of months ago ... that is the real opponent here ... focus on the enemy."

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
