Michigan is 33rd power conference team since 2000 to allow 20 points or fewer in each of the first 7 games of a season.
They are the only one to lose 3 of those games. The other 32 combined for 11 losses with 2019 Iowa the only other with even 2

In the past 15 years only 3 Big Ten basketball teams have played for a national championship:
• Michigan — 3
• Wisconsin — 1
• Purdue — 1
Michigan has been carrying the Big Ten Conference for awhile now
Agreed @mcuban. PBMs should be scared. @costplusdrugs has shown that they are not needed for successful patient care.
With big PBMs, someone is always getting ripped off. Great article on why PBMs are afraid of @costplusdrugs

Effective criminal justice reform doesn’t mean abolishing the system. It also doesn’t mean pretending the status quo works. We need reforms that actually protect rights and keep streets safer. @BrennanCenter @verainstitute
Hold police accountable without defunding them. Body cams, duty to intervene, real consequences for bad actors. Good cops benefit when the public trusts the badge.
End cash bail for most cases. Freedom shouldn’t depend on your bank account. Detain people who are dangers or flight risks, not the ones who just can’t pay. And eliminate mandatory minimums, especially for nonviolent drug crime. Give judges discretion again.
Yes, please do this. Don’t let the stupid name stop you from getting free money for your children. xitter.cf/repjulialetlow/status/…
It is not the “Golden Age” if people cannot even afford to visit their families for the holidays.
Domestic round-trip airfare for Thanksgiving is averaging $402, up 31% from last year. That's an additional $95 per ticket. Christmas flights are even pricier, averaging $452 round trip, a 23% increase that adds about $85 per ticket compared with last year.

We need new federal legislation to make it easier to build infrastructure. Something that can preempt all of the local regulation that makes construction fail.

California hasn't built its bullet train because the state has required 130,000 pages of environmental reports, making absurd demands like:
• counting bumblebees one by one
• rebuilding woodrat stick huts
• hiring specialized dogs to sniff lizard scat

Laws that demand vast tracts for a single household serve neither virtue nor prosperity. They inflate the cost of living, exclude industrious families, and convert public authority into an engine of private convenience.

UPDATE: Israel’s economy is growing so fast, it will leapfrog the Netherlands and Australia within the next 18 months, in time for it's 80th birthday—not by 2030, as predicted—to rank second only to the USA in GDP per capita of all nations with populations over 10 million.

BREAKING: Miami’s long-awaited Northeast Corridor rail line is now FULLY FUNDED.
The $927 million project will deliver:
• 13.5 miles of passenger rail
• Five new stations
• Service from Downtown Miami to Aventura
• Stops in Wynwood, the Design District, Little Haiti, North Miami and FIU Biscayne Bay
• Nearly 8,000 fewer daily car trips
• Trains running by 2032
Miami isn’t just talking about transit anymore. It’s building a regional rail system.
Brilliant. This type of fast construction can help solving the housing crisis. @YIMBYLAND @americanhousing
