Gonna say it again and again until y’all get sick of me: America has become an authoritarian state.

Breaking News: The Justice Department is investigating whether major TV networks violated federal antitrust laws when they briefly suspended pool coverage of President Trump, according to people with knowledge of the department’s action.

Growing up there were two NFL coaches I knew by name, Tom Landry and Mike Ditka. Ditka led my Super Bowl shuffling Bears to the Championship in what was probably the first and last year I was a football fanatic. RIP Iron Mike.

Wendell Berry. RIP. “Nell’s small grave, opening at the garden’s edge to receive her out of this world’s sight forever, reopens many graves. Digging, the old man grieves for his old dog with all the grief he knows, which seems again to be approaching enough, though he knows there is more.”

An American pit bull was gifted to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky by U.S. boxer Terence Crawford. The puppy named Freya is the granddaughter of a dog that survived Russia’s brutal occupation of Bucha in 2022, Zelensky said.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Dogs are always up for a fun run.

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆
