On Monday afternoon, in anticipation of potential massive changes, the NCAA’s Division I Board of Directors approved a list of rule modifications around athlete compensation — and, in turn, eliminated existing rules that prop up the guise of amateurism — all contingent on a judge's final approval.
NCAA votes to allow schools to pay athletes — as long as a judge approves
With Judge Claudia Wilken’s decision on the landmark House case expected soon, NCAA leaders conditionally approve rule changes to align with the pending settlement.

Holy fuck just call it what it is. At this point he’s a fucking problem.
President Trump did not rule out seeking a third term in office on Sunday, telling NBC News that he was “not joking” about the possibility and suggesting there were “methods” to circumvent the two-term limit laid out in the Constitution.
Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About Seeking a Third Term in Defiance of Constitution
President Trump, in an interview with NBC News, said there were “methods” that would allow a third term. The 22nd Amendment prohibits a person from being elected to more than two terms as president.

I suppose it's unfair to criticize Jill Stein and her followers for manifesting Gaz-a-Lago, especially since Jill can't defend herself right now, given that she's in a Russian cryo freeze waiting to be thawed in time the next election cycle to dazzle a fresh batch of American idiots.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.
