Trigger warning for my tall brethren: Don’t trust the height-challenged tree huggers!
If Damar Hamlin has passed, God Bless him and his family. And God help the NFL if they restart this game.

Hope the Redskin greats can resolve this without litigation. The trademark for Steel Curtain appears to be owned by the Steelers franchise. The franchise here appears to be owned by the layers. Team ought to buy the trademark from the players.
Does ANYONE on the planet enjoy or want these tedious intro songs to nationally televised NFL games? No one watches MTV anymore… so why force it on us here??

This former player believes that DESERVED better. IF he was dismissed in such a classless and callous manner (see below) maybe the Superintendent should fire the Director?

Senate has invoked cloture on the Respect for Marriage Act. Well done Senators Collins, Portman, Murkowski, and Tillis! They led the way and worked hard… the result: 12 GOP votes.

What Did Trump Do With All the 'Save America' Money? $135 million raised and $16 million spent on candidates?
Democrat Super PACs spend millions in numerous GOP primaries to secure the nominations of weak candidates. Often more $ than the candidates themselves raised and spent. And guess what? It worked! Dems prevail in the general 7-0. Crazy. bloomberg.com/news/articles/ via
Horrified and disgusted by the reports that Paul Pelosi was assaulted in his and Speaker Pelosi's home last night. Grateful to hear that Paul is on track to make a full recovery and that law enforcement including our stellar Capitol Police are on the case.

Brazen theft of billions of taxpayer $! Some of the money going to China & Russia. As more Gov’t services take advantage of efficiencies of digital world, Gov’t cannot rely on analog/20th century solutions to prevent fraud. Thanks Id.me for leading here.

@NBCNightlyNews reported tonight on the historic fraud ID.me stopped during the pandemic. Four states have credited ID.me with stopping $210 billion in fraud -- an amount equivalent to China's 2021 defense budget. youtube.com/watch?v=BNZGwa

Curious as to what political advice Dr Oz is getting for his Pennsylvania GOP Senate campaign that would land him in Hollywood today for this. (Not to mention the medical advice.)

Of course, if we still measured consumer prices the way we did in 1982, the 2021 #CPI would reveal a more accurate #inflation rate of about 15%, making inflation in 2021 the highest in U.S. history. For years the #Fed claimed the problem was too low inflation. Problem solved!

Holy cats I’m just seeing this. After what we saw in the senate judiciary committee today this is perhaps the most inadequate answer I’ve ever seen at this juncture of a campaign.

A7. An 11th-grader called our CyberTipline, worried her 15-year-old friend was being sold for sex and had a pimp. Through the child’s social we found escort postings of her online. We forwarded this to LE, who recovered the child and another in a hotel room in WA. #HTAD2021 twitter.com/MissingKids/st…

I have admired Andrei Iancu long before he spoke out about Wednesday's disgraceful Trump-fueled insurrection. The fact that he showed this leadership when others in the Administration remained quiet is why he is so well-regarded.

The email @uspto Director Andrei Iancu sent to the agency's staff the day the US Capitol was stormed does him huge credit. “I am heartbroken to see this affront to our constitutional electoral process,” he wrote. This week's IAM Saturday Opinion iam-media.com/law-policy/ian
