Trump's censor in chief at the FCC, Brendan Carr, just sent a letter to the heads of BBC, NPR and PBS informing them he's launching a "news distortion" probe into the BBC's editing of a documentary on Trump's Jan. 6 activities.

You see the thing about Republicans is they’re really passionate about states rights

The silver lining to Trumpian fascism is that he keeps appointing people who are incompetent at doing the fascism.

OOTP is not real life of course, but Year 1 of my Angels save has Taylor Ward just looking like A Guy. Not sure if I'd take Rodriguez straight up for him, but I'd at least go through all the Orioles prospects trying to get at least a 30 FV guy thrown in only to have the Orioles reject every one.
Almost every time an MLB trade happens, I can see the logic for both sides.

In this O's-Angels trade, I can't find the logical underpinning unless Baltimore is really worried about Rodriguez's recovery from elbow issues.

Under-the-weather TikTokers are slicing raw potatoes and placing them in their — and their children’s — socks before bed. The theory is that the potato draws out toxins.

However, experts warn against relying on folk remedies over medical care.

"AKSHUALLY it's ephebophilia."
Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

That's pretty much what I figured they'd have to do: A two-month winter break with games in southern or domed stadiums bookending it.
MLS will take a break from mid-December through early to mid-February, as reported yesterday.

Will likely see more games in warmer markets in December/Feb, and conversely more in northern markets in July-August.

But never more than 3 in row for a team at home/away.
BREAKING: MLS owners officially voted to flip to a "summer-spring" format beginning in mid-July and running through the end of May. Will start in 2027.

Also voted on the regular season format.

Details and quotes here from Palm Beach.

"don't worry, he's just into 15-year-olds" perhaps not as exculpatory as you think
Also 15-year-olds are not "barely legal." They are minors.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

One of the GOP's sweatier Epstein defenses has been "if they had good stuff they'd have used it when Biden was president." But the growing awareness that Garland spiked anything that could look political explains this!
I feel like “mad at Merrick Garland” is going to hit a whole new level.
