Saban on Gameday at 10:50a: “Protect College Sports! Thank you Trump for saving college sports!”
Saban at 11:50a: “If I were still coaching? I’d do whatever it takes to convince [MSU QB Kamario Taylor] to get in the Portal”
Yup, that about sums it up 👍

This happened 2 steps in front of me. My reflexes didn’t allow me to blink or look away. I saw 100% beaver. 🫣🫣🫣And I’m forever well not be the same. I’m sure the she isn’t either. The story continues. After being traumatized, I see some live llamas in the airport who my friend mistakes for horses. She’s like girl you see them horses? I said girl those are llamas but did you see the beaver. 🫣🫣🫣 Moral of the story wear some drawers with dresses or just wear pants while traveling.

1/2 - DISCLAIMER BE PREPARED This is when you know it’s time to shut travel down. Flight to Portland was great slept, ate and did my cryptograms. As I’m on my way to my ride … A passenger from the flight walking ahead somehow tripped, fell forward and so did her dress. She almost did a complete 360. It’s horrible to fall but to fall with absolutely NO UNDERGARMENTS on is a different story.

I love this.
U.S. Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr. was nominated to lead HHS.
She’s a pediatrician. She saw what was coming and decided she couldn’t just sit on the sidelines.
THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called ollowing through.

🚨DISTURBING AUDIO: Listen to the ICE agent who threatened to slit his ex-wife's throat.
DHS gave this psycho a badge and a gun and unleashed him on American streets. They failed to vet him.
An innocent father is dead because of the Trump administration's incompetence.

The ICE agent who killed an innocent man in Maine threw his 13-year-old daughter through a coffee table and threatened to slit his ex-wife’s throat.
DHS failed to properly vet this lunatic, and now a father is dead.

I have a funny personal story about Lindsey Graham.
In 2010, he voted against the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" despite overwhelming bipartisan support to overturn the ban on gay, lesbian, bisexual Americans serving openly in our military. (It passed and got signed.)
In 2013, he voted against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would have provided protections against discrimination for LGBTQ Americans in the workplace. (Substantial bipartisan support in the Senate but the GOP-controlled House refused to take a vote on it.)
In 2022, he voted against the Respect for Marriage Act despite bipartisan support for federalizing protections for same-sex marriage in case Obergefell got overturned. (The bill was passed and signed into law by President Biden).
In fact, he pretty much opposed LGBTQ rights at every turn in his career, never offering anything in the way of sound legal reasoning to justify his opposition.
A lot has been said about Mr. Graham's private life in the past few days. Some commentators say it's unfair to speculate over his sexual orientation, particularly in the wake of his death.
I think it's rather unfair that this man spent his entire career making the lives of LGBTQ Americans much harder for no good reason. Just because it was politically convenient for him.
It's been a rather fascinating exercise to watch many politicos and reporters share their fun and wistful anecdotes about Mr. Graham. He was so funny and so charming.
That's nice.
I'll always remember him as someone who viewed LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of equal treatment and dignity.
Perhaps hypocritically so.
Anyway... that's actually not a fun story but it is very personal.

A note to my friends who still back Trump:
I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.
Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.
And the green water?
A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.
Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.
That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.
The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.
Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.
Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.
Prove them wrong.

Leavitt: The vandalism is very real. Despite what Tim Walz wants to say. There have actually been six arrests at the Reflecting Pool where, again, these deranged individuals—many of them longtime donors to the Democratic Party, to Barack Obama, to ActBlue—have been vandalizing eral monument, one of the most beautiful monuments in the world: The Reflecting Pool.
And that’s why President Trump is not going to stop with this effort. They’re not only holding those people accountable, but they’re going to fix the pool and continue to make it beautiful after this despicable vandalism, just in time to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday next week.
