@avappleyard @NHLFlyers I think they got to as well. Gonna sting for the Ducks, just don’t think a team this close to bursting from a rebuild can lose a major piece for picks. How Verbeek let it get here though, beyond me, and now he loses some cap control for a player he had basically full control of

[Edward Ansbro @edwardansbro]

@mwducksfan93 @KevinWeekes @AnaheimDucks @NHLFlyers Ahh ok yeah, I totally misread. I know hometown discounts are a thing but that one struck me

[Edward Ansbro @edwardansbro]

@billmeltzer Mintyukov is also a RFA and I THINK Sennecke is next summer (or summer after I didn’t check).

[Edward Ansbro @edwardansbro]

@billmeltzer @FlyersAnt @michaelkinky Probably just speculation, but do you think Danny spoke with Verbeek ahead of time and said “hey we’ll offer you xyz” and Verbeek already declined?

[Edward Ansbro @edwardansbro]

@TCoppola21 @FriedgeHNIC Yeah they have to match the exact offer sheet

[Edward Ansbro @edwardansbro]

@JasonGregor Flyers have Toronto’s 1st as well, besides all their own, to at least offset one of the picks

[Edward Ansbro @edwardansbro]

@jasonmyrt Someone could really be a dick to Anaheim still and tender a sheet to Mintyukov

[Edward Ansbro @edwardansbro]

@FlyersNation For Willy’s sake he MUST demand market value. It’s a cold, cold business, and nothing is personal

[Edward Ansbro @edwardansbro]

@AnthonyMingioni @HockeyHStove Yeah I don’t see how they can’t but this sure stings. Cap control of a 21 year old suddenly gets the max cap number, while you still have 17 million to resign William Gauthier and Mintyukov

[Edward Ansbro @edwardansbro]

@EbbonDerr @ADiMarco25 I do agree they gotta match but this stings. Had a bunch of control of a RFA and his cap hit suddenly become the max cap hit, and they still have to resign Mintyunkov and William Gauthier

[Edward Ansbro @edwardansbro]

@ADiMarco25 Not that I think it’s a fuck your to Anaheim for William Gauthier (although I’m fine with it being so) that 5th year biting into UFA eligibility is chefs kiss

the Florida Public Service Commission recommends setting your air condition to 78 degrees in the summer according to this June 2026 PDF on their website

Governor Ron DeSantis appointed every commissioner on the Florida Public Service Commission

Starting in early 2025, Elon Musk and the Trump administration began terminating USAID's programs and firing its staff — with Musk himself boasting about "feeding it into the woodchipper." One year ago today, USAID was officially dissolved, its remaining programs haphazardly folded into the State Department. Amid all the lies and misinformation that have followed, some facts about what has actually been lost:

• USAID saved more than 3 million lives a year at a cost of less than $10/month per American. That is what was destroyed. On purpose.
• According to Boston University's Global Impact Counter — which tracked deaths attributable to the cuts until it stopped operations in February 2026 — an estimated 781,000 people died preventable deaths in the first year, including 518,000 children.
• Global child mortality (the number of children who die before their fifth birthday) rose in 2025 for the first time in 35+ years — by 200,000 additional deaths.
• USAID's 50-country disease surveillance network — the system that cut outbreak response times from 2 weeks to 48 hours — is gone. We are now watching an unprecedented Ebola outbreak unfold in real time — with the highest first-month caseload and death rate in modern history.
• Programs reaching 93 million women and children were cut 92%. TB programs cut 56%. Water and sanitation cut 86%. Over 2,000 health facilities permanently closed.
• 25 million fewer people received humanitarian assistance in 2025. The overall humanitarian budget was slashed 74% — from $14.1 billion to $3.7 billion.
• 363 million people face acute hunger in 2026. The famine early-warning system that would have seen it coming went dark for five months.
• $1.7 billion in democracy and governance funding (election monitoring, anti-corruption work, support for independent media and civil society) was terminated.
• 360+ independent media outlets lost funding. Hundreds of legal clinics closed.
• Far from saving money, the Trump administration itself has already said the dismantlement will cost taxpayers at least $19.2 billion in cancellation fees, severance, and penalties. That's more than half of USAID's annual budget — spent on destruction and closeout, not support for vulnerable people.
• American farmers, universities, and businesses are among the casualties too. USAID partnered with more than 3,500 U.S. companies and maintained 17 university-based research labs. Its work with U.S.-based contractors and the private sector generated hundreds of thousands of American jobs and multiplied the return on every dollar spent. Those markets and partnerships are gone.

One study found Musk’s closing of the U.S. Agency for International Development could cause the deaths of millions of children. https://t.co/qaQMoCPf82 (Photo: Associated Press)
