As @mikesorrell2029 approaches the end of his freshman year, I am in a reflective mood. It is humbling to witness my little boy take affirmative steps to becoming a man. His voice is deeper, his decisions sounder, and the determination with which he chases his dreams is remarkable. I am so proud of my main man. Finish strong, son. The best is yet to come. #AdventuresinManCamp

Scientists across the country are expressing alarm as the Trump administration dismantles another tool for understanding how the planet is changing.

Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina, and Greenland.

Researchers say these are critical ocean observation tools.

“The Auburn University Board of Trustees on Friday gave itself complete control over course offerings, curriculum, degree requirements and academic credentials while eliminating shared governance”

Wow

At some point, all we can hope for is that enough people realize that what is happening to Black America isn’t just a Black problem - it is an American problem. You can’t be indifferent to injustice against others and think that you too won’t pay a price. Justice doesn’t work that way.

I was born in Chicago. I grew up attending Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, and White Sox games with my family. The idea that the Bears may move way from Soldiers Field is unimaginable to me. Hammond, IN?? My heart is breaking.

Rob Gronkowski says he lived off $50,000 as an NFL rookie because he understood the NFL meant "Not For Long"

"My agent gave me a $50,000 advance for what's going to come in the marketing world for myself. I just had to pay him back within the first $50,000 I made"

"I was able to purchase my first car, which was a 2008 Escalade, and then to be able to pay rent once I got to New England. And then from there on out, I really didn't need any other money"

"I was getting free meals at the facility. I just kind of needed gas money. You go out, the drinks are free or you pay for one, you get 10 free when you're when you're on the Patriots up in the Boston area"

"So I wasn't really spending much money at all, especially when it got to the season. I mean, you're inside that building and everything's handed to you on a daily basis from breakfast all the way to dinner"

"I just lived off my marketing dollars. I was living a low-level life. I had a condo with a roommate that was on the team as well. We're paying $1,500 a month in rent while in the NFL"

"I was very frugal and that's how I got away with it. Not having any lavish purchases, the first couple years in the league and just banking away what I was making because I truly understood that the NFL stands for not for long"

401(k) hardship withdrawals are rare, but they spike when Americans’ saving and income don’t cover their expenses.

Since 2020, Vanguard data shows they have more than tripled.

NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfare's Katherine Pompilio finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

This month’s opening of the Obama Presidential Center is arguably the biggest investment in Chicago’s South Side in more than a century.

Here’s an early look at the museum as well as the broader campus commemorating former President Barack Obama: 🔗 https://t.co/L8kepyFI5C

Not gonna lie, this is a badass museum donation.

🇺🇸 Shonda Rhimes donated the Oval Office set from Scandal, the same one fictional President Fitzgerald Grant called home for seven seasons.

Now it’s part of the Obama Presidential Center Museum

[Michael Sorrell @michaelsorrell]

We’ve been. It is incredible.

[The Associated Press @AP]

The Obama Presidential Center opens to the general public on Juneteenth after a celebratory dedication in Chicago with dignitaries. The roughly $850 million project covers both the political and personal realms of the nation’s first Black president.
