Shaka Smart is 80-30 as the head coach at Marquette. To say that was a slam dunk hire by the Golden Eagles brass would be an understatement.

Hoosier Group artist Richard Gruelle died 120 years ago today. His painting of the Statehouse dome reflecting on the Canal is one of my favorite Statehouse images.

in retrospect, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords really might've been a better basis for a system of government.

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich suffered a health issue before Saturday’s game and assistant Mitch Johnson is expected to be the interim head coach for indefinite period, including Monday vs. Clippers and Wednesday vs. Rockets, sources tell ESPN.

Forceful words from Doug Emhoff:

"He demeans immigrants with the same hateful slurs hurled at our ancestors, vermin, animals who poison the blood of our country. He scapegoats Jewish voters right to our faces, saying that if he loses, it will be the fault of Jews. He looks at Adolf Hitler's generals and sees something to admire. Just let that sink in. You do not reward someone like that with a platform or with power, and never again with the presidency."

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

The strategy is familiar and predictable by now. A pile of outrageous statements - all to ensure we spend the next days talking about him, not about you and not about how Kamala Harris will make life more affordable and restore the right to choose that he took away. It’s bait.

@mass_ave @DanimalSB He really should have broken out the uniform tonight.

Of all the commentary on the @JeffBezos @washingtonpost disaster, this is easily the best. Bravo.
