If you're still up, we've got some updates in the undrafted free-agent tracker. So far, 12 reported #Panthers additions after the draft: www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/c...

We are living in Nazi Germany.

FLAG: Kash Patel says the FBI has arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan and charged her with obstructing an immigration operation. It's the first known instance in Trump's second term of DOJ prosecuting a local official for allegedly interfering with immigration enforcement.

“Yeah, I am a person who’s representative of DEI. And honestly, it’s a good thing.”

This thread contains the grievances against the King of England that caused the creation of the United States. Source: The Declaration of Independence. While a few don't apply to today, the strange thing is.. it's only a few that don't apply to today.

I opened Friday's PFT Live by addressing something not about football. The feedback was surprisingly positive. I wrote something about that issue tonight. If you're interested, here it is. If you're not, don't read it. Either way, have a good evening. www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

Head Start, an early childhood education program for low income families, is on the chopping block. Growing up, my own mom was an aide with the program; it’s helped countless young mothers, including the one who tells her story here. www.kqed.org/news/1203596...

Anyone who isn’t chilled to the bone by this doesn’t understand what it means. Once you abandon the constitution and the rule of law for the whims of one person, no matter who that person is, then America is truly gone.

Trump to Fox on deporting Americans to a gulag in El Salvador: "We want to do it. I would love to do that."

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

APOLLO: “.. Consumer Confidence Is Weaker than During the 2008 Financial Crisis .. “.. sentiment is declining rapidly both for households making more than $100,000 and less than $100,000 .. “.. Consumers’ worries about losing their jobs are at levels normally seen during recessions ..”

I hear leeches work great too

Whiplash from the whims of a Mad King

“The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying ‘anti-Christian bias’ as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new order on supporting employees of Christian faith.”

Trump is not done attacking our elections. He and his supporters plot every day to undermine the right to vote. They are constantly looking for opportunities to exploit weaknesses in the election system. This is their top priority. The question for us is whether it is ours as well.

If they don’t win, they throw out legal votes until they do. Democracy! www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

Why is Pete Hegseth bringing his wife to top security meetings and hiring his brother at the Pentagon? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Corrupt doesn’t even begin to explain what they’ve become.

Anyone with family or friends that relies on Social Security need to warn them of what’s coming.

Republicans looking out for the little guy I see.

SCOOP: A WIRED review of public data shows that national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.

Elon Musk admitted why he’s spending $18 million & paying voters $100 a pop to flip Wisconsin Supreme Court. It’s all about keeping GOP gerrymandering advantage in US House. If Dems retake House they can investigate Musk, DOGE & his $38 billion in govt contracts www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Democrats in the House should introduce a cavalcade of articles of Impeachment over this. I don’t care that they’re likely to fail. Draw the line in the sand, and FORCE Republicans to vote against impeachment for leaking secret war plans to a journalist. Make them.

BREAKING: Trump's billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks — and that anyone who does complain is a fraudster.

Cool cool. @durbin.senate.gov, @amyklobuchar.com @klobuchar.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov are looking to team up with MAGA to give Donald Trump the power to censor anything he wants on the Internet. Do they not recognize what will happen?

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

I’m calling it now, if Tyler Warren is still on the board the #Panthers stick and pick at 8 #NFLDraft If not, I think they try and trade back.

Rare "Extreme" severe weather risk from SPC. This highest risk level only gets forecast about 2-3 times a year. This is due to a very high risk for tornadoes around 30%, which could be long track and large violent tornadoes. 1/2

As more and more Americans get their news from online shows and streamers, our analysis found that this expanding media ecosystem is overwhelmingly right-leaning. 🧵: www.mediamatters.org/google/right...

Alright doomscroll friends, here's a thread to 📌 on safeguarding yourself. First, a guide to protecting yourself from government surveillance as Donald Trump vows to go after his enemies and exploit America’s digital surveillance machine to do so.

Coward.

Elon Musk’s loyalists at DOGE have infiltrated dozens of federal agencies, pushed out tens of thousands of workers, and siphoned millions of people’s most sensitive data. The next step: Unleash the AI. THE INSIDE STORY:

Join us. You won't miss the Nazi site at all.

The same argument could be made for anyone who criticizes U.S. foreign policy - supporting Ukraine, opposing Russia, opposing threats to Canada, opposing drone strikes in Mexico, you name it.

Elon Musk says he wants to “eliminate” programs like Social Security and Medicare: “Entitlements... That’s the big one to eliminate”

Nightmarish stuff in here.
