Most kickers are like relief pitchers - some years they can be good, the next year really bad, resurface with another team and good again. 🀷

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

In Boston, we don’t rewrite historyβ€”we learn from it.

Thank you to all of our community partners, city teams, residents and neighbors who made our citywide celebrations of 100 years of Black History Month so meaningful.

It’s interesting so many in national media, including Breen, were shocked by that shot. Dub fans who watched every game during his rise knew he was measuring up the shot.

Also, no one ever mentions he did the Oakland A’s β€œBernie Lean” during the celi !

For the first time in a decade, the California Golden Bears have won 20 men’s basketball games. They tried to destroy Cal and now they’re thriving in the conference of hoops. You shouldn’t have poked the bear.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

National Cancer Institute studying ivermectin’s β€˜ability to kill cancer cells,’ alarming career scientists The National Cancer Institute is studying ivermectin as a potential cancer treatment, according to its top official, alarming career scientists.

A year ago, we were on the cusp of turning many cancers into chronic rather than terminal diseases through immunotherapy and mRNA vaccines. Today, we're working through the curative qualities of a magical horse paste instead.

Whether it's Donald Trump taking bribes from terror-sponsoring foreign governments, Donald Trump plotting to rig the 2026 election, or Donald Trump posting a video of the Obamas as apes, both parties must do better.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
