[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Remember when those Dems reminded the military to ignore “illegal orders” and MAGA screeched “sedition” and claimed there were no legal orders?

This right here was an illegal order, and one the military failed to ignore.

It violated DoD directives, the law, international law and UMCJ rules of engagement.

It was flat out a war crime.

I've attended recent NRA conventions and have heard members tell me that one of their fears -- and a rationale for gun ownership -- was the possibility that armed federal agents (wearing pandemic masks to conceal their identity) would come to their communities.

Reuters is understandably concerned with punitive action by the admin so softened the language to avoid Trump’s wrath

[Patrick Conner @patrickconner18]

btw, this soft language is exactly the goal of the admin’s war on the press. It wasn’t inaccurate information, it was faithfully reporting what Trump said the order did. The admin then realized Trump didn’t actually know what the order did and scrambled to issue a clarification.

CORRECTION: A new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas in the United States will not be applied to existing holders of valid visas re-entering the country, the White House said. We are removing an earlier post with incorrect information https://t.co/UlLoY2HY9Y

this military vehicle is stationed at the part of the road toward Union Station that splits between Uber drop offs and pick ups

@EmmaTolkin Honestly there’s not much more to it than he’s a very old man who holds firm beliefs based on a very cynical worldview formed long ago. He genuinely believes the world is zero sum…If you’re not winning, you’re losing and there is no winning unless the other side is losing

By my estimation when it comes to big little cities , Greenville SC is leading the pack. A ton to do, very walkable for a southern city and super charming!! #SECChampionship

@mattgaetz Matt just sad it didn’t feature A minor

Incredibly ironic that this is the one time in all of history that the NCAA correctly sees the massive lawsuit on the horizon while the conference does not.

[Big Ten Conference @bigten]

A statement from the Big Ten.

[AJ Spurr @SpurrFM]

The Rose Bowl: Our game is rooted in tradition, prestige, and history.

Pop-Tart Bowl: Watch this pastry take its clothes off. It yearns to be consumed.

@Lane_Kiffin Maybe spend some time doing your job and you’d actually be playing today instead of looking at your phone

[Tony Gerdeman @TonyGerdeman]

If Penn State is doing this to a team like SMU, just imagine what they'd be doing to a lesser team like Alabama or South Carolina.

[Aaron Torres @Aaron_Torres]

If we're being honest, all the first two playoff games have proven what anyone who was against expansion said for years:

There aren't, nor are there ever, 12 great teams worthy of competing for a title

You get to 12 teams you're inherently adding flawed, non-title worthy teams

[Ari Wasserman @AriWasserman]

So many people were amped up for the 12-team College Football Playoff field. They celebrated how the field was going to be opened up to new, exciting teams. They screamed about how exciting it was going to be to see the games settled on the field. They celebrated a more pure way to crown a national champion. They championed the freshness of settling it on the field.

Then, not even 10 minutes into the first game of the 12-team era, people were discussing Alabama or the other three-loss teams from the SEC as if those teams didn’t get embarrassed this year the same way Indiana did on Friday night. https://t.co/jvMOqJl64I

[Brett Kollmann @BrettKollmann]

Bama fans are seething mad watching this tonight as if the easiest solution to their problem wasn't just...not getting blown out by Oklahoma?

[Patrick Conner @patrickconner18]

@NickyPerkss This is 100% true…so don’t choke against Vandy. They win and they get to prove it. Champions aren’t awarded based on talent or “goodness” rating. Win on the field or don’t. It’s as simple as that, and Bama chose not to win. You don’t get point for trying.

[Patrick Conner @patrickconner18]

@StoolMintzy Maybe if these teams didn’t lose 3 times, they’d be in the CFP…just a thought

[Patrick Conner @patrickconner18]

SMU’s season is ≥ Texas but yall don’t want to have that conversation

[Nick Kelly @_NickKelly]

Imagine telling someone a year ago, Nick Saban and Timothée Chalamet would be working together to make sure Pat McAfee didn’t fall
