I cover Mexico for The New York Times, and there is no such "invasion." About 1,500 people recently began walking north from the southern tip of Mexico — weeks away from the United States — and very few, if any, will reach the northern border. Over the past two years, the Mexican government has repeatedly broken up these small caravans within days of them starting. And there have been far fewer of them since Trump took office. The reality is the number of illegal border crossings remain near historic lows.

Dan Hicks was an extraordinary colleague, friend and person. In his 34 years at NBC Sports, he was an exceptional storyteller and caller of games and events who elevated some of the biggest moments in sports history. From Olympic swimming and skiing to Notre Dame football, numerous other high profile events and especially as the signature voice of our golf coverage for the last 26 years, Dan’s blend of knowledge, style, enthusiasm and humor informed and entertained fans for decades. But far beyond his on-air excellence, Dan was a better person who welcomed teammates with a smile, a joke, or a word of encouragement, sometimes all three in the same sentence. Our heartfelt condolences and love to his wife Hannah and his daughters Hannah, Ellery and Riley.

Trump, who is lunatic posting this morning, is back to lying that the midterms were stolen: "In order to deflect from MASSIVE BLUE STATE CORRUPTION & CRIME, they are at it again, illegally threatening Republicans with knowingly false accusations and charges. Other than cheating, this is how they won the Midterms - But we won’t let our Country go to hell!"

Things Trump has blamed for his midterm losses: • Not being literally on the ballot • Republican candidate quality • Fox News interviewing Democrats • Sen. John Cornyn • Karl Rove • The Iran war and high gas/oil prices • Historical midterm voting patterns • Media coverage not highlighting positive news • Voting machines • Affordability “hoax” • Sen. John Thune/Republican Senate

I’ve just checked, and Hannity also claimed to be leaving the Catholic Church in 2017, 2019 and this April.
“As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic” Fox News’ Sean Hannity makes it pretty clear: Trump comes before everything, even over his religion. It’s a cult.

Donald Trump is lying here, as usual. He is the most corrupt president this country has ever had, and it’s not even close. The most egregious example is World Liberty, the massive crypto scam, but there is also the “meme coin,” the Qatari jet, the ballroom shakedown, the …

Fox News has not yet mentioned Pete Hegseth getting reprimanded by a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for his group's disrespectful behavior. I'm not holding my breath.

Alina Habba has been charged by NJ ethics officials over the way she brokered an illegal NDA with a Trump Bedminster employee. It's a stunning allegation against a lawyer who was NJ's unlawful acting US attorney last year. @washingtonsun exclusive: washingtonsun.com/legal/new-…

Posts like this are also a big reason why the Republicans lost. This is so unbecoming of our once great military.
The disgruntled, ousted congressman’s attempt to impeach Secretary Hegseth has FAILED!

Happy 57th birthday @sesamestreet 💚💛 Fun fact: my dad was the original Gordon on this iconic show. I remember when it premiered on this day, November 10, 1969. I was five and so excited about my daddy’s new job. He wasn’t really supposed to be on camera. He was hired as a consultant because the show was created to reach Black and Brown children who weren’t used to seeing themselves on TV He stepped in when an actor dropped. And he made the show sing!! I miss him so much. Rest In Peace, daddy 🕊️ #MatthewRobinson

If Pete Hegseth is too scared to take a question from the Washington Post, how is he supposed to stand up to China, Russia, or Iran? Our adversaries won't be handing him softballs from OANN
Hegseth is a coward who is afraid to take questions from real reporters.

Here we go again. And as a reminder, just about every single poll showed Democrats ahead. Trump even threatened to prosecute the New York Times because their polls showed a Democratic blowout. Loser behavior.
Trump: Does anybody really believe that this "Election" was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting "dumps" were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote. It's all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!
