@ESPNNFL hi 👋🏾I usually watch about 10-12 football games a week, but after they’ve aired in the condensed version on @NFL+. I’m looking for a weekly spoiler free list of the top 10 games (based on any criteria really, I’m open!) on Mon morning but can’t find it! Any suggestions?

BREAKING. Full statement from Vice President Kamala Harris:

"On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. His remarkable legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history, surpassing the legacy of many Presidents who have served two terms in office.

"It is a profound honor to serve as his Vice President, and I am deeply grateful to the President, Dr. Biden, and the entire Biden family. I first came to know President Biden through his son Beau. We were friends from our days working together as Attorneys General of our home states. As we worked together, Beau would tell me stories about his Dad. The kind of father—and the kind of man—he was. And the qualities Beau revered in his father are the same qualities, the same values, I have seen every single day in Joe’s leadership as President: His honesty and integrity. His big heart and commitment to his faith and his family. And his love of our country and the American people.

"With this selfless and patriotic act, President Biden is doing what he has done throughout his life of service: putting the American people and our country above everything else.

"I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination. Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.

"We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win."

@Senlaphonza I’m so disappointed in your vote today. I know it was a difficult vote, w/many important unrelated issues, but this bill would have gutted our asylum system & eviscerated judicial review. The bill was never going to get better, only worse. I hope you’ll fight for real solutions.

🚨 Tell @POTUS, @SenSchumer, & @SenGillibrand to Not Gut Asylum!

Instead of trying to restrict immigration policies, Congress should be upholding our values by advocating for more humane, just, and inclusive approaches to immigration reform.

Take action: https://t.co/PmMggteRJH

BREAKING: Voters in Virginia just delivered a critical majority in the state senate to protect reproductive freedom and create a firewall against efforts to pass extreme abortion bans.

[ACLU of Texas @ACLUTx]

NEW: After an outcry from border residents, the Eagle Pass City Council voted to rescind an agreement allowing state troopers to arrest migrants in a public park — which has been central to Gov. Abbott’s inhumane and unlawful anti-immigrant operation.

[Anu Joshi @AnuJoshi22]

The asylum ban rule is vacated by Judge Tigur in the 9th Circuit!

The decision is stayed for 14 days to allow the Government to appeal to the 9th Circuit.

We will keep fighting to expand equal opportunity and ensure higher education is accessible to ALL.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Our colleges are stronger when they are racially diverse. And America is stronger because we are tapping into our full range of talent.

Today's Supreme Court decision is not the last word.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

For decades, the Supreme Court recognized a college’s freedom to decide how to build a diverse student body and provide opportunity.

Today, the Court walked away from precedent, effectively ending affirmative action in higher education.

I strongly disagree with this decision.

Ketanji Brown Jackson:

“With let them eat cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces “color blindness for all” by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life.”

PREACH.

[Brianne Gorod @BrianneGorod]

J.Sotomayor in #dissent in today's affirmative action decisions from #SCOTUS: "The Court subverts the constitutional guarantee of equal protection by further entrenching racial inequality in education, the very foundation of our democratic government and pluralistic society."

[Anu Joshi @AnuJoshi22]

I was a freshman in high school when CA passed prop 209, ending affirmative action at UCs & CSUs. That act undeniably made all of us worse off. This is a sad day & a despicable Court. The work continues to ensure all students have opportunity to fulfill their highest potential

[Anu Joshi @AnuJoshi22]

affirmative action 😭😭😭😭

[ACLU @ACLU]

ICWA is fundamental — it's a crucial part of tribes’ right to govern themselves, and protects children from being forcibly removed from their family, tribe, and culture.

Now we’re calling on state governments to stand with Indigenous nations and incorporate ICWA into state laws.

[Anu Joshi @AnuJoshi22]

For those who haven't listened yet - now is a great time to check out Rebecca's incredible podcast This Land that breaks down how the far right TRIED to use Native children to dismantle tribes and tribal rights (and lost). Thank you!!

[Rebecca Nagle @rebeccanagle]

For months Native people have been bracing for a disastrous decision in #Brackeen and today we are breathing a sigh of relief.

In a case that could have dismantled the foundations of federal Indian law, the Supreme Court said no.

[Anu Joshi @AnuJoshi22]

A TOTAL WIN ON ICWA!!!! I'm crying! 7-2 (written by Barrett)!

Amazing! Congratulations @dale_e_ho - so so so well deserved. Thank you for your zealous advocacy representing @thenyic to keep the racist citizenship question off the 2020 Census, and for all of your clients! Onward!

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Today, the Senate will continue our work on judicial nominations by voting to confirm Casey Pitts for the Northern District of CA and by advancing Dale Ho for the Southern District of NY and Nusrat Choudhury for the Eastern District of NY—both of whom I was so proud to recommend.
