The only downside is that there’s pretty much no signal in the forest. We chose the route: Prairie Creek Visitor Center 👉 Miners Ridge Trail 👉 Fern Canyon Trail 👉 Gold Bluffs Beach.

Grew up with Soviet hockey in my blood—this kind of stat just hits different. Back-to-back hat tricks in the playoffs? That’s history.
Only three players in Stanley Cup Playoffs history have recorded hat tricks in back-to-back games:

◽️ Doug Bentley (1944)
◽️ Jari Kurri (1985)
◽️ Mikko Rantanen (2025)

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Every citizen in the USA should be obliged to read or watch

The Handmaid's Tale.

Now.

Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA.

When a book becomes alive. Too quick.

It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong.

Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."

Economic freedom means very little when families can't afford housing, health care, or education. Markets are powerful — but without guardrails, they leave people behind.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

It was a week in which Trump’s agendas of self-aggrandizement and personal retribution sank to new lows, but the courts continued to hold the line on his lawlessness. And coming bright and early tomorrow, a superb only-on- @talkingfeds.bsky.social roundtable joins me to break it all down for you.

Scotus rules that Trump can use the Alien Enemies Act to deport those suspected of belonging to a Venezuelan gang, BUT-with review and notice!

"AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act..."

Supreme Court backs Trump in controversial deportations case
The order marks a win for the Trump administration, even if temporary, and it could well be a harbinger of things to come as the administration continues to clash with federal courts.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:

1. 1929 (the Great Depression)

2. 1987 (Black Monday)

3. 2008 (the Great Recession)

4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY

And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.
