Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy.

NEWS: Travis Kelce is expected to return for a 14th NFL season this year, sources tell The Athletic.
However, it is uncertain if the TE will remain with the Kansas City Chiefs, as his representatives are expected to talk to multiple teams.

🚨🚨THIS IS DISGUSTING🚨🚨
#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes wanted to shake hands with #Lions star Brian Branch after the game and Brian REFUSED.
JuJu Smith-Schuster saw this and got very angry about it.
Branch then slapped him and a brawl broke out.
WOW.
Nexstar, the nation’s largest station owner, denies that it pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air due to pressure from FCC chairman Brendan Carr or its pending acquisition of Tegna, which would require FCC approval.
“The decision to preempt ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ was made unilaterally by the senior executive team at Nexstar, and they had no communication with the FCC or any government agency prior to making that decision."
