Congratulations to @CoachDustyMay, Elliot Cadeau, and @UMichBBall on winning their first title since 1989! This team dominated the tournament from start to finish. Well deserved. Go Blue!
Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.
On this day in 2020, Breonna Taylor was killed by Louisville Metro Police Department officers after they forcibly entered her home. Although one of the officers responsible was eventually convicted of violating Taylor's civil rights, none were ever indicted for her murder.
As we take today to honor her memory, we also reflect on the struggle for justice that is as of yet unfinished. I’m praying for her family, friends, and loved ones today.

The Ravens, Steelers, and Bills are all perennial playoff teams who let go of their head coaches because just getting to the postseason wasn’t good enough.
The Colts retained everyone, hoping Year 10 will be different, despite just two playoff appearances since 2018.
🚨 Something is deeply wrong with what ICE and DHS are doing right now… and everyone needs to start paying attention now, before it’s too late.
DHS is telling people to “self-deport,” but when someone actually tries to self-deport, ICE is locking them in private immigration prisons for months, even years.
ICE has been targeting former DACA recipients, people who historically would not be held long-term, because detention itself has become the objective. A steady pipeline feeding private prisons that are paid per body, per day.
This story shows the other side of the same abuse.
Tatjana Vesiolko has no criminal record. She holds a valid Lithuanian passport. Her home country accepts deportations. She received a final order of removal months ago. She didn’t fight it. She mailed her passport to ICE. She has repeatedly asked to buy her own plane ticket home.
ICE refused.
Instead, she has now spent nearly 11 months locked inside a private detention facility with no bond, no timeline, and no clear explanation. DHS vaguely claims the delay may be tied to a class action lawsuit they refuse to name, one she was never told about and never given the chance to opt out. Immigration attorneys say there are no obvious legal barriers preventing her deportation.
This is happening as ICE detains more people than at any point since World War II. The number of people held longer than six months is rapidly climbing, not because removal is impossible, but because ICE is arresting more people than it can process and refusing to let many of them leave.
And taxpayers are paying for it.
Immigration detention costs at least $150 per person, per day, according to nonpartisan estimates. Holding someone for nearly a year costs tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars, even when that person has no criminal record and is actively asking to leave the country. That money does not go to public safety. It goes to private prison contracts.
People in immigration detention have no guaranteed right to a lawyer. No sentence. No release date. Habeas petitions are routinely stalled with “we’re working on it,” while people remain locked up indefinitely.
This is not about border security or enforcing the law.
It’s about punishment, deterrence, and profit, while DHS publicly tells people to “self-deport” and quietly blocks them from doing exactly that.
