If you were young in 2001, or weren’t even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew.

But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America.

Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.

Some of the wildest stats in NFL history:

- The Bears have never had a 4,000+ yard passer in a season (106 seasons)

- All 4 of the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts Superbowls were played in Miami

- Larry Fitzgerald in 17 seasons finished with more tackles (42) than drops (29)

- During the entire 2014 NFL regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs did not throw a single receiving touchdown to a wide receiver

- The Panthers have never recorded back to back winning seasons in their franchise history, yet they once won the NFC South division 3 years in a row (31 seasons)

- The Buccaneers lost 26 consecutive games from 1976-1977. This was their first 26 games as a franchise. 0-14 in year 1, then they went 2-12 in year 2.

- Every NFC team has played in the NFC Championship game since 2010, except the Cowboys, who haven’t since 1995

- Ryan Fitzpatrick led the 2019 Dolphins in Rushing Yards (243) and TD’s (4).. Dude was 37 years old at the time..

- Tom Brady never played a game in his entire career where he was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs going into it.

- For his entire career, Tom Brady has a better chance of getting to the Super Bowl (47.6%) than Steph Curry has of making a 3 pointer (42.2%).

- The Jets joined the NFL in 1970. They beat the eagles for the first time in 2023.

- The Lions went 70 straight games without having a 100 yard rusher. This was during the Stafford era.. it started after Reggie Bush rushed for 117 yards on Thanksgiving in 2013. The drought lasted almost 5 seasons before Kerryon Johnson rushed for 101 yards in 2018..

- Mike Vrabel had 12 career receptions during his career, and every single one was a touchdown..

I will be writing legislation finally separating the Department of Weights and Measures into two separate departments. That is far too much power for any one department to hold.

Funny moment in NYT focus group of Black voters:

51-year-old: I think we definitely need a younger group of people to be running for office. And not to say that there’s anything wrong with older people, but--
70-year-old: Yes, there is.

@LegalEagle teddy’s video on #Nebula doesn’t have the plus thing for premium. (this would’ve been a DM but I’m not gonna pay for verification.)

@matt_of_earth @PBSSpaceTime I would love to get your take on quasi-moons. Especially how it seems that can be entirely explained by LeGrange points.

Which unfortunately this excellent @Radiolab episode doesn’t talk about.
