The Colts are planning to bring potential Hall of Fame QB Philip Rivers into their facility Tuesday to work out to see if he may join their practice squad, per me & Mike Garafolo.
This is real. Daniel Jones’ season is over, Riley Leonard will start, but Rivers may be an option.

In addition, it also seems to include a series of definitions for gender-affirming care that could be restricted. All right here.

Tucked inside the Republican bill for health care subsidies, a clause that would restrict the money from being used for abortion (with exception for rape, incest or life of the mother) or for "any sex trait modification procedure or service."

The thing I try to explain the most to those who don’t live here is that the Nuzzis of the world live in Washington (the place that deserves your ire) and the rest of us live in D.C., a collection of diverse, mostly quiet, walkable residential neighborhoods with no federal representation
I live in DC. You think “official Washington” didn’t care what Trump administration 2 was likely to do?
Talk to someone who works at NIH. Or State. Or CFPB. Or DOJ. They all knew what was at stake. They were all scared + furious.
And reporters like Nuzzi saw none of it because they didn’t care.

This piece is about Mississippi but word-for-word it could be about Congress's interference in DC.

The blatant power grab by the majority white legislature in a Black city like Jackson, MS is spreading across the country.
State takeovers and sweeping abusive preemption laws are rolling back progress and stripping communities of the right to self-govern and ultimately, self-determination.

In a very timely action with *waves hands wildly in the air* this motion asking for details on how exactly federal agents are going to be working with LA28 and local law enforcement was just advanced to full council
There's now a motion from LA City Councilmember Monica Rodriguez asking LA28 to "provide a detailed presentation on the new federal Olympics taskforce, its purpose, jurisdiction, anticipated activities."
It's been referred to the ad hoc committee: cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkc...

The CAO's office is insisting that LA is using the model of other sporting events (like Dodger parade) which require "full reimbursement" of services, including security

One piece of this story that's often buried is that having prior authorization on Medicare AT ALL is new. That's in addition to AI being used for it.
A new Medicare pilot program is about to launch that will let private companies use AI to review requests for certain medical care — and reward companies when they deny claims.
