English literary tests? Like, "Who wrote Wuthering Heights?"

I'm guessing this is because he was basically in Rome yesterday.

This photo tells you everything you need to know about the cable news ecosystem in the United States. It is the perfect distillation of the moment. That Jumbo Elliott, by the way, is the former tackle for the New York Giants.

Since we're doing this again, the Panama Canal administrator told us last month: 1. Trump could get free passage for US ships. But it would then apply to *all* nations. 2. The grand total charged for US warships and submarines from 1998 to 2024 was $25.4 million www.barrons.com/articles/pan...

A shorthanded goal. A PP goal. A LANDY GOAL AND AN ASSIST! A Blackwood shutout. I'll take that all day, every day! #GoAvsGo

Pulling Oettinger after the way he played? It sends a message for sure, but probably not the one you think. #GoAvsGo

Saying that was a great period for the Avs would be a massive understatement. #GoAvsGo

Ohhh, be okay, Nate. Be okay. #GoAvsGo

LAAAAANNNNNDDDDDYYYYY! #GoAvsGo

Avs damn sure needed that shorty! #GoAvsGo

This is why I think getting worked up over the draft doesn't make sense.

People can't afford veterinarian care for their pets as private equity snaps up Vet practices, sending costs through the roof. I've noticed this in our town. 2 of the 3 vets in a short driving distance are now owned by PE and costs have doubled, because they know you will pay up. t.ly/M1Bm4 #EconSky

After my dad was disappeared abroad, he fled to America, which exemplified rule of law and a welcome for refugees. Until now. Now we have an American president threatening American values. My column: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/o...

Another thing that bothers me about this whole fiasco; if you're that worried about fentanyl, why do you have FBI and DEA agents trolling local courthouses for immigrants instead of working OCDETF cases targeting fentanyl traffickers?

Congrats to Army lacrosse! #GoArmy #FamilyToughnessTradition

Waiting to see which player I've never heard of my Broncos draft next!

ICE just took a woman from military housing. While her husband is on active duty, at sea.

A two-year-old United States citizen. A TWO-YEAR-OLD UNITED STATES CITIZEN!!!

This — the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s arrest today of a sitting judge — against the backdrop that the President of the United States is, at this same moment, defying an April 10 Order of the Supreme Court of the United States

Important point on the arrest of Judge Dugan: when you're going to charge someone who's plainly not a flight or violence risk, you inform them that you're filing the charges and have them come in with their lawyer to do the paperwork. But that's not authoritarian enough to please Patel and Bondi. /1

NEW: President Trump announces job creation program for University of Colorado student

A DEA agent who was part of the arrest team rode down in the elevator with the guy they came to arrest! Why didn't that agent make the arrest then or the second he exited the courthouse?

This is going to backfire so badly for Bondi and Patel.

Oh, it was DEA. Well, that explains a lot.

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.

OK, its not a question of whether the phone is compromised. If you are the spy chief of a major country's intelligence service and your people have not compromised this phone, you should resign and find some other line of work

This can't be real. If it is real...this country is further gone than I thought. First, why are FBI agents making immigration arrests in state/local courts? Second, this coming from the FBI director is embarrassingly unprofessional. And nobody in the FBI says "perp."

Let's say Harris won last year and Vance was holding 10k-20k person rallies where he railed against left-wing "oligarchy." Would the CW be that this was crazy and a waste of time? Or would we be seeing NYT op-eds and A1s about what "oligarchy" is and why the GOP base was on fire about it?

Every country is different and has its unique circumstances and actors, but there are some general trends, and this is on, like... page 3 of the competitive authoritarianism handbook. This is how you get free but unfair elections.

Yes, this is one of the most blatantly authoritarian moves so far, but it actually illustrates the problem goes well beyond Trump. This is not personal vengeance, it’s a move institutionally backed by the GOP.

"Democrats need to stop saying 'impeachment' because people don't know what that means." @slotkin.senate.gov probably

Is there an "Impeachable offenses committed so far" tracker anywhere?

I got animated. (For a reason.)

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! #NFLDraft

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

Just awful. Avs better figure things out fast or this is going to end up like last year. #GoAvsGo

WTF Avs? C'mon! #GoAvsGo

The PP has been...not good tonight. #GoAvsGo

Seems like the Avs have been running into each other a lot lately. #GoAvsGo

‼️Massive Russian missile attack on Ukraine. Ballistic missiles on Kyiv. VERY loud explosions in Kyiv.

i actually cannot handle this on any level. this is journalism malpractice.

Our illustrious governor also turned down federal funding (Also Oklahoma taxpayer dollars coming back to Oklahoma) to feed school kids who need assistance over the summer. "Pro-life" is contingent in Oklahoma.

I was not familiar with @kendraserra.bsky.social’s game but this 2.5 hour live coverage a disastrous hearing for DOJ in the Perkins Coie case is incredible.
