It's bananas that an American mayor is boasting about giving mortgages to people with subpar credit for homes they can’t actually afford. As if 2008 never happened. The beauty of history is that you can learn from it.

This guy is a devout Christian who was granted protection from his home country because Islamist terrorists are trying to institute sharia law. He's lived here half his life. He's married to an American & has American kids. This is not who the government should be targeting.
A Texas father who had lived in the U.S. for 25 years with no criminal record was finishing his night shift as an Uber driver when immigration agents detained him.
Without being able to speak to his lawyer or a judge, he was put on a plane and sent first to Ghana, a country where he had no ties. He was then sent to his home country, despite a determination by a U.S. immigration court judge that he could not be deported there due to likely persecution. cbsn.ws/3Ude66r

If, by the way, the same situation that just happened in Brazil had happened but with the parties switched -- if Bolsonaro had won last night's election and then a pro-Bolsonaro judge sent the Federal Police to seize Lula's passport and bar him from leaving the country -- every major western media outlet and liberal NGOs would be screaming about the authoritarian attack on Brazil's elections and the destruction of basic freedoms.

Aaron Rodgers sat at that podium in Paris and said out loud what the corporate league office spends millions trying to sanitize.
The NFL talks endlessly about “player safety” and “expanding the global game.” But behind closed doors, owners scrapped player-friendly bye weeks, forced a brutal 17th regular-season game, and shipped franchises across oceans simply because there was another dollar to squeeze out of foreign TV markets.
While families and players navigate locked-down streets, civil tension, and grueling travel schedules, ownership sits in five-star suites counting international expansion checks.
Rodgers doesn't care about league fines anymore. He’s telling you the truth: in the modern NFL, the brand and the balance sheet come first. The humans on the field come second.

The Norm documentary is absolutely phenomenal. He was the greatest comic to ever live and it was nice to be “illuminated by the lost soul.” He gave me a compliment once and that was enough to keep going. Thank you, Norm for being the best.

The New York Times’ position is basically, “yes we may have said ‘no one is above the law’ before, but obviously of course some people are above the law if they agree with our political ideology, and any efforts to hold anyone with our ideology accountable is a heckin fascism”

HBO's @LastWeekTonight has a long track record of citing social science findings without the appropriate context, massaging them to support whatever point @iamjohnoliver is trying to make.

I just hope Jalen Hurts is waking up this morning, after a beautiful restful sleep, and begins the process of suing the Philadelphia Eagles into Oblivion
And I hope he knows there is not one soul out there that would blame him if it meant the end of that franchise

There is total panic among the establishment about this audit.
P-A-N-I-C
Make sure to go to end of ballot and vote YES on Prop I
We need it.
Early voting opens today in Austin and runs through Oct. 30. I'm voting YES on Props A and B for parks, pools, trails, and libraries, and NO on Prop I, a retread of an audit Austin voters already rejected in 2018.
Yes on A. Yes on B. No on I.

The NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles almost killed Jalen Hurts for a Week 5 international showcase.
The full details of what happened behind closed doors in London just surfaced, and the negligence is staggering.
Before kickoff in London, Hurts was in a hospital bed until 4:00 AM undergoing emergency vascular testing. Medical staff instructed him not to sleep because sleep was considered an active health risk.
Instead of shutting down their $255 million franchise quarterback, the team cleared him to play 60 minutes of brutal, high-impact collision football on zero sleep.
Then, they loaded him onto a pressurized, 8-hour transatlantic flight back to Philadelphia.
Every doctor on the planet knows that long-haul flights and cabin pressure are the exact triggers that cause lower-extremity blood clots to break free. The Eagles spent days assuring the public it was just a "minor, superficial calf clot".
Now the truth comes out: the clot dislodged, shot through his bloodstream, and caused multiple pulmonary emboli in his lungs.
Hurts is officially out for the season, placed on blood thinners where taking a single routine tackle could cause a fatal internal hemorrhage.
He isn't just lucky to play football again, he is lucky to be alive.
When the NFL preaches "player safety," remember this moment. They ran a human being into the ground for television ratings in the UK, almost lost him to a preventable medical catastrophe, and cratered their entire season in the process.
Who inside that building signed off on letting him play and board that flight?

I cannot believe we’re having a national struggle session over a) a joke and b) a joke based on an observation that is objectively correct.

Prop I - the Independent Efficiency and Affordability Initiative - is all about nurturing honest discussions about where Austin's tax dollars are going, what benefits residents see for that spend, how we can do better with our scarce resources, and why affordability alludes us.
