Upper left media advocacy for @ACSCAN. Likely to request you cover something regarding the fight against cancer. Also, senior editor @lindyssportsmag.

RIP The Maaaaaaaaaaaac. And yeah, The Metro is a good conference name. And fitting here. Probably more than it was for the former Metro. But this is some serious hermit crab behavior, a conference out here just putting on an old shell and calling it your new one.

[Gary Parrish @GaryParrishCBS]

As someone raised on the Metro Confrerence, you can't be the 25th-ranked league in college basketball and just decide to call yourself the Metro Conference in 2026. It's insulting to Pervis Ellison and Keith Lee -- not to mention Clarence Weatherspoon, Bimbo Coles and Clifford Rozier. I'm very offended right now.

South Dakota lawmakers abided by the will of the people today and snuffed out an attempt to send Medicaid expansion to a repeal vote. A good day, indeed: https://t.co/4lTajLMJpX

Every now and again refs seem to get sucked into a massive comeback effort for the home team ... kinda going down right now in Provo.

[Shawn O'Neal @Shawnomedia]

60-plus @ACSCAN advocates from across the Evergreen State gathered in Olympia today to let #waleg know that cancer detection, prevention and treatment should not fall victim to the budget ax.

[Shawn O'Neal @Shawnomedia]

I have never watched a World Cup Draw before. Are they always this effing weird? I mean, this thing is just damn weird.

[Shawn O'Neal @Shawnomedia]

Remembering all those "Lane Kiffin has matured" stories ...

[Shawn O'Neal @Shawnomedia]

So fascinated by Braden Smith attempting to break Bobby Hurley's all-time assists record ... one game in, he's on pace.

[Shawn O'Neal @Shawnomedia]

I mean, with respect to Rothstein's steady schtick -- which I love -- this was not really a buy game and not really a surprise ... Idaho's backcourt is really good and Wazzu is a bag of mystery that clearly has a long, long way to go.

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

Washington State loses a buy game to Idaho.

The epitome of brutality.

This October, we celebrate two decades of the Montana Clean Indoor Air Act, which has helped keep the places where we work and gather free from secondhand smoke! The protections now extend to vape aerosol. Learn more at https://t.co/b5h8XeJQVl. #smokefreeMT #vapefreeMT #Health406

I am trying to get back into following the NBA after checking out for about -- oh -- 25 years ... but this is a weird way to find out Chauncey Billups is a Hall of Famer. I mean, good for him.

[Shawn O'Neal @Shawnomedia]

Was true when they announced the college basketball crackdown some years ago and is true today: The FBI needs to hire new writers before going to these big pressers. The stream of cliches makes my face reflexively spasm.

[Shawn O'Neal @Shawnomedia]

Cue Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" ...

[Snoqualmie Pass @SnoqualmiePass]

UPDATE: I-90 remains closed WB at Exit 80 near Cle Elum after an oversized load struck the overpass. Travelers are being detoured around the closure at Exit 80 via the off- and on-ramp. Crews will be out today to assess the damage. @wspd6pio are investigating.

[Shawn O'Neal @Shawnomedia]

The numbers vary in each state, but the impact will be the same for many if premium health care tax credits are not extended by Congress. Thanks to the good folks at the @NDMonitor for sharing the work of our volunteer, Kelly Buettner-Schmidt.

Great and important reporting here from @pfannyyy on the reasons Idahoans are getting -- or are about the get -- insurance notices showing soaring premiums for next year. https://t.co/xIopvYkMkI

[Shawn O'Neal @Shawnomedia]

WTF is with dudes in sports spitting on people recently? Bananas. Florida about to lose because of it.

[alex brizee @alex_brizee]

just because we can request things as reporters, doesn't mean we should.

[Shawn O'Neal @Shawnomedia]

Have avoided media on the murders since I left UI. This doc made me realize how focused I was while I was there. More was new than I expected. That said: Full recommend. Big heart. Focuses on the kids, family, friends and damage done to so many well beyond that awful night.

The U.S. Senate could vote today on the bill that will kick millions off #Medicaid & increase health care costs for everyone. This is the biggest threat to affordable health care in nearly a decade. @MikeCrapo and @SenatorRisch, please vote no.

[Shawn O'Neal @Shawnomedia]

The budget bill under consideration in the U.S. Senate would kick nearly 11 million people off their health insurance and raise health care costs for all of us. @MikeCrapo, @SenatorRisch vote NO to #ProtectMedicaid and #ProtectAffordableCare!
