Agree. The clearinghouse is going to take college sports backwards: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I wrote about the sports doc glut www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“There was a moment in the sports doc world when a lot of big athletes could sell something based simply off of their name,” he says. “But it’s become more about, ‘What’s the story? Is it going to provide something new and interesting?’” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Good to see leagues arriving: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Consumer sentiment collapsing even among Republicans, and Republicans are also expecting higher inflation

IANAL but when these federal agents took custody of the adult, seems like they also assumed custody of the child. Then they abandoned the child. Is that a state crime that local or state prosecutors could charge? www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

As part of the red-carpet treatment, Saudi officials arranged for a fully operational mobile McDonald’s unit to accompany President Trump during his stay. According to local reports, the unit was set up near the Saudi Royal Court.

Finish the coffee, @rustindodd.bsky.social

NEW — Trump’s ICE has just arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. Alongside residents and other officials, Baraka has been protesting outside a detention facility that’s set to help Trump’s mass deportation regime.

The 16-year-old was dragged away and arrested by Worcester PD because she kicked the car ICE was holding her mother in as her mom was taken away. The day earlier, ICE had taken her dad as well.

Kalshi bettors seem to be confident in next Pope:

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

State and local governments are bracing for a recessionary shock, as the Trump administration slashes federal funding that underpins local budgets, nonprofits and infrastructure. You’ll feel it everywhere. w @sdonnan.bsky.social & Nazmul Ahasan www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo. Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Gregg Popovich announces he has a new job title: El Jefe

Lots of companies want to launch or expand factories in the US. One barrier: Trump’s tariffs on the Chinese machinery they need to do so… My latest for @bloomberg.com with a cast of great colleagues: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Re-upping this old piece on the news that Gregg Popovich is stepping away from coaching: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Damn good data reporting from the @bloomberg.com crew here www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

All the news is bad so I was very happy to run a positive story today: dads are doing a lot more childcare post pandemic. It’s part generational change and part a new pattern. Dads spent a lot of time with their kids in 2020 and realized how great it was. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/o...

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

Trump's first 100 days in office can by summed up by just this one chart. This is the consensus estimate for GDP growth in 2025 among 79 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. As you can see, forecasted growth has collapsed:

On his 100th day in office in 2017 Trump headed to a PA wheelbarrow factory to launch his trade policy and put the US on the path to today’s tariffs. Eight years on that factory is closed. The wheelbarrows are now made in China. My latest for @bloomberg.com: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I’m sure somebody has done this before but here you go

And people say cryptocurrencies are socially useless. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/news...

Trump has just replaced President Obama’s official presidential portrait in the White House with a painting of himself.

"Pete Belton, 44, from Ilkeston says he was shocked to find his forearm featured in a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document used to help identify alleged members of Tren de Aragua (TdA), a transnational criminal organisation." www.bbc.com/news/article...

talked to baseball guy Scott Boras about being a baseball guy for 40 years—and about negotiating $15 billion in contracts: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

when MLB dropped "diversity" from its career site, I reached out to every team, including those with live DEI pages. None committed to their current efforts. Almost nobody responded! One week before Jackie Robinson Day, my take on the leaguewide silence: www.miamiherald.com/opinion/arti...

Upon learning that your own mistake sent an innocent father to a brutal prison where he’s likely to be tortured, anyone with a shred of decency would be overcome with shame and fight like hell to get him back. They think it’s funny. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Billions of dollars in clean energy projects have been canceled since Donald Trump took office again — leaving thousands of jobs and the shift to clean energy in doubt.

The government admits the thing I’ve been banging on about, which is that there is no habeas for these people, despite what they told CADC.

One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

The Floor schedule for next week just announced by House Republican leadership does not include Senate-passed legislation to restore $1.1B in funding stripped out of the D.C. budget in last week's C.R.

BREAKING: Chief Justice John Roberts says impeachment of federal judges is “not an appropriate response” to disagreement with their rulings.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

A Musk lieutenant ventured onto a roof to install Starlink. The Secret Service didn’t know he was there. The incident triggered a confrontation over conflicts of interest & cyber and physical security www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

The Pentagon purge of media it considers 'DEI' has expanded to stories about Navajo code talkers and Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian who helped raise the US flag over Iwo Jima. w/ @jonswaine.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

MLB recently added public comment with CFTC on sports event contracts in futures markets, saying that integrity and consumer protections are lacking.

I say zero coach’s timeouts. Preset breaks only. And none in the final two minutes of any quarter.

Someone made a Wiley E. Coyote style painted wall to see if Tesla’s autopilot would detect it and well…

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
