Rep. Charlie Gonzalez To Retire

Luke McCaffrey believed that for NFL scouts to take him seriously, he needed to top his famous brother. After Luke emerged as one of the best receivers in the American Athletic Conference at Rice in 2023, teams were still unsure of his speed or if his playmaking ability at a Group of 5 school would translate to the NFL. So Luke made it his mission to beat the marks of his older brother Christian, the 49ers’ All-Pro running back, at the NFL Combine. “When I told NFL scouts that Luke was going to be a 4.4-something in the 40-yard dash, a lot of them didn’t believe me,” recalled then-Rice wideout coach Mike Kershaw.

A man was lounging in the steam room at a Colorado Springs gym in 2023 when a broken steamer spout exploded, burning almost a third of his body and ultimately killing him, according to a lawsuit.

Canadian MP Elizabeth May took some time out of a speech she was giving to respond to The Orange Felon's asinine suggestion that Canada would become our 51st state.

Memo to Rudy Giuliani: When you’re in a nearly $150 million defamation hole, and in danger of losing your home, you really ought to stop digging.

From CNN: District Judge Beryl Howell’s ruling Friday came as Giuliani continues to make false insinuations about two Georgia election workers, long after they won a $150 million defamation verdict against him and he agreed to stop slandering them. “Mr Giuliani engaged in the worst kind of defamation,” Howell said as she read her verdict, slamming him for continuing to portray himself as a victim in this case and not responding to previous court orders. “It is outrageous and shameful,” Howell said.

Politico got a hold of a memo being circulated by House Republicans, and it ain't pretty: House Republicans are passing around a “menu” of more than $5 trillion in cuts they could use to bankroll President-elect Donald Trump’s top priorities this year, including tax cuts and border security. The early list of potential spending offsets obtained by POLITICO includes changes to Medicare and ending Biden administration climate programs, along with slashing welfare and “reimagining” the Affordable Care Act.
