Horrified by what happened to our dear friend Heidi Levine while she was on assignment today.
“They just kept kicking me and kicking me,” she said.

Mike Rogers and his campaign have been hammering Abdul El-Sayed in ads and posts over his mother once working decades ago for a Muslim charity based in Missouri, Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), that was raided in 2004 and shut down, labeled as a terrorist entity by U.S. govt. But his mom was never even accused or charged, let alone found guilty. Ironically, it was a Republican Congressman from Michigan, Rep. Mark Siljander, who was found guilty for helping the same Muslim charity and sentenced to prison. Siljander was later pardoned by Trump.

The PBA is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Randy Pedersen, who was among the most important professional bowling figures of the past 40 years.
Pedersen won 13 PBA Tour titles during his Hall of Fame playing career, then transitioned to television where he became the longest-tenured broadcaster in PBA history.
Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and loved ones.

Today, I was informed that the Department of Defense is firing me for insubordination after I told a CBS reporter that I work for Stars and Stripes – not the Pentagon, not any administration, and not any policy maker.
Today's firings are an ugly, un-American attack on our free press. By tradition and design, the Stars and Stripes is protected by First Amendment principles. The paper has possessed editorial independence for decades. To preserve that independence, and prevent the Pentagon from censoring, Congress passed a law in 1991 creating an independent ombudsman, answerable solely to the Senate and the House.
America's brave servicemembers swore an oath to defend the Constitution. They deserve the free and independent press our Founders fought for 250 years ago, not Pravda-style propaganda. The United States is uniquely committed to freedom of the press, and has been since our founding. Accepting censorship means losing our national identity.
Michigan announces three sponsors whose advertising will appear inside Michigan Stadium: Coca-Cola, Meijer and Google Gemini. These will be the first ads to appear in the stadium, which was historically ad-free.
