Sorry, kids with cancer, and their families, you see Bernie chose the perfect over the good, again, and your child is shit out of luck.
NEW: A bill restoring money for pediatric cancer therapies was defeated in the Senate.
My colleague @samsteindc.bsky.social — who has covered this wrenching story ever since the funding was first removed at Elon Musk's behest last year — reports on why Bernie Sanders helped defeat the bill.

A Pediatric Cancer Bill Fell One Vote Short. Bernie Cast It.
The Vermont senator is holding out for a bigger health care package. Advocates are asking: Is the price worth it?

Maybe starting a new workout program two weeks before Christmas in the middle of the annual school events and school germs spike was not, in fact, my best idea.

Free throw practice for everybody on UNC between now and Sunday: 5-15 last night.
#UNC bounces back big with 50-point thrashing of UNCW behind big games from Toomey and Brooks. But there's plenty to still clean up. Carolina shot better from 3-point range than at the free-throw line, with worst shooting at the FT line in four seasons.
Still processing Louisville loss, Tar Heels roll by UNCW
By R.L. Bynum CHAPEL HILL — The scars from Sunday’s disastrous ACC opener will likely linger, but lowly UNCW was just the cure to help No. 18 North Carolina bounce back strongly and try to move on.…

First ACC co-players of the week of the season: Louisville’s Laura Ziegler and Stanford’s Courtney Ogden.
Deserved, I had a very hard time picking between them.
Rookie of the Week was an easy choice among the submitted options: Stanford’s Lara Somfai.

In the AP poll, Louisville up 6, UNC down 6 after the Cardinals’ OT win yesterday.
Notre Dame at 20 is the only other ACC representative, NC State is receiving votes.

I was right, it's 12p/1p/2p tip times for the Triangle teams on 1/1 AND 1/4.
And it's the California teams' only trip to the Triangle AND the third opponent on the 4th is Notre Dame.
Sigh.

Probably rinse repeat on 1/4, except some of the tip times haven't been announced...
All three Triangle teams are home on New Year's Day, but, stop me if you've heard this before, you can't go to more than one because they tip at 12/1/2. Would it be SO HARD to give one of them the 4 p.m. ACC slot not the 2 p.m.?

Note to self: do not try to do too much before 7a.
Just emailed an SID because the game on Thursday wasn't on the credential request form.
I was definitely looking at last season's request form.

Also a look at where both Cal and Stanford are from @mingemi.bsky.social after they played yesterday to open their ACC play.
Cal was picked 12th in the preseason poll, I think they'll finish higher.

How Stanford and Cal women’s basketball have both switched up their approach this season
The Stanford and Cal women’s basketball teams both profess a desire to play faster, but that wasn’t on display in the Cardinal’s 78-69 victory on Sunday.

UNC women’s basketball shows growth and growing pains in OT loss to Louisville
In its first ACC test, No. 12 UNC competed with No. 22 Louisville for 45 minutes, but late turnovers and empty possessions underscored challenges.
