It seems like Caitlin Clark wants to play basketball and doesn’t want to be dragged into politics despite many people constantly obsessing over her. Some people are more interested in being athletes than activists. It’s her life, she doesn’t have to be who you want her to be.

Todd Blanche's last-minute promise won over Senators Cornyn & Tillis, but shouldn't have. The "deal" leaves Trump's tax immunity intact. It confirms what the Senators should have already known about Blanche's lack of fitness to be AG. My analysis: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

The Old Trails Fire, which is fueled by extreme fire weather conditions, has burned nearly 3,000 acres, according to Washington State Forester George Geissler. He added about 4,000 buildings are threatened, with the full extent of the damage not yet clear. Read more: https://cnn.it/4wEkcL4

I think the Fever may have FINALLY figured out how to punish the living hell out of teams that overplay Caitlin Clark at half court. It took FOREVER, but they final seem to be working that 4 on 3 thing that Draymond mastered with the Warriors when Steph was overplayed.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Going after Dr. Fauci in 2026 is cult behavior. MAGA is clinging to the nostalgia of being faux outraged over a false culture war narrative that once united their base. Trump got back into office and reminded everyone that he is, in fact, the dishonest emperor with no clothes.

Caitlin Clark is the most popular female athlete on the planet, particularly among young women. She’s athletic Taylor Swift. No doubt there are a jillion indiana fans in PDX. And sports fans generally don’t care about the noise - in fact they’re there to escape it.
