The U.S. throttled the speed of “Starshield” in order to exert pressure on Ukraine during recent peace negotiations with Russia. This is reported by the “Financial Times,” citing high-ranking Ukrainian government officials.

Fuck Trump.

Fuck Musk.

Hearings aren't enough. Accountability means trials. The only way to restore faith in the system is to hold Trump and his people accountable.

Prince Fielder says CC Sabathia completely changed his mentality when he joined the Brewers in 2008 because he was willing to risk a $140,000,000 contract to help the team win

“Well, I think CC coming, once we got him, we were winning. We felt like a good team, but when you get a guy like CC, your whole attitude changes. When you show up, it’s like, ‘Oh, we got CC.’ And the way he was going, he was throwing every two days, like 120 pitches, you know what I mean?”

“I was like, ‘Man, this is his free-agent year, and he’s out here balling for us.’ That makes you motivated, like, ‘Oh, man, we’ve got to try to win because he’s over here risking it all.’ Let’s lock in. Once he came, he changed everything.”

“It was just a different vibe, and it was a lot of fun. I think both, because it was like, man, this dude, I’ve never seen it. It just seemed like he was never rattled. To be a superstar, he just worked hard every day.”

“I saw him running every day. We were all young, so we did our thing, and we came up from the minor leagues. But to see a superstar come in like that and see how he went about his business, I think it helped all of us. He definitely helped me.”

“Being there for what was only a month, I felt like he helped all of our careers as far as the way we approached the game and how serious we were about it.”

Kellogg: Russia tried to take Ukraine by force and failed. Putin hasn't got the combat power to go much further than he's gone.

In 5 years Russia gained about 1% in fighting, with 1.2 to 1.4 million casualties on the Russian side. 1/

Through Week 9, Jordan Love went 20+ yards downfield twice as often as Joe Burrow (18.2% vs. 8.8%). They are playing a different game.

All while, on the year:
Love: 23 drops, 222 air yards lost
Burrow: 10 drops, 27 air yards lost

Six of Love’s deep balls were dropped. Burrow had zero. People just act like this doesn’t exist.

Burrow truthers just don’t write the whole story with Love. For whatever reason they act like he’s not in the same realm as him.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Voters just handed the GOP a crushing defeat. Democrats took Congress and even flipped Mississippi. Mississippi! Trump won it by 23 points.

So what does Trump do? Makes Stephen Miller chief of staff, uses the DOJ to go after Democrats, and continues sucking up to Putin. And House Republicans turn around and pick Jim Jordan as their leader.

Meanwhile, many MAGA commentators are blaming Senate Majority Leader John Thune and others, arguing that Republicans lost because they weren't MAGA enough

They learned nothing. Zero.

And here’s the thing about 2028: Trump won’t be on the ballot, but every Republican running will have to answer for him. Keep embracing him, his corruption, and his grifting from the presidency, and voters will do the same thing to them again.

The only way back is a clean break from Trump. I doubt it’ll happen, but let’s hope.

I’m actually referring to your 30,000 stock trades (more than all Members of Congress combined), your Qatari-gifted luxury jet, your crypto scams, your Truth Social pay to play scheme, your billionaire-funded ballroom, your insurrectionist slush fund, and your pardons for big donors—just to name a few. 

Senate Democrats will ban stock trading for all Members of Congress and White House officials, and hold you and your administration accountable for all the ways your rampant corruption has made life more expensive for families.

It's a news-filled Packers-Vikings injury report, even though there was only one change (Trey Smack) from yesterday.

Here are the key updates, including Javon Bullard and Micah Parsons, and the latest from Minnesota. ⬇️

Jordan Love is the #1 QB in the NFL right now.

- #32 ranked run game
- #32 ranked dropped passes
- Threw for nearly 400 twice on 2 top 10 defenses
- #1 in 3rd down passing yards
- 9 of his 19 passing TDs have come on 3rd down
- on 4th down, he’s 9-12 123 yards, 8 first downs, 1 TD and 0 picks

He’s the definition of CLUTCH.

Oh and against the Bears and Patriots he has SIX passes of over 25 yards.

No other QB has ONE against these defenses so far.

And against the #1 defense in the league (Minnesota) he threw for 387 when the rest of the league has averaged 158 yards in the air against them.
