2009 vs USC
2023 vs Oregon
two memorable moments, 14 years apart in 📍Husky Stadium.
Some of the same Dawgs in both photos. College football is the best for a lot of reasons. But it’s also special when it’s just the back drop in which you & your friends go through life.

From being a Columbia University encampment organizer to becoming the next Congresswoman for Columbia University's district. 💗

The last 5 years of College Football:
The implementation of NIL.
The popularization of the transfer portal.
Eroded conference regionality.
Devalued regular season games.
Eliminated conference title games.
Popularization of “meaningless bowl game.”
Got rid of the fun OT (ex: 2018 LSU-A&M).
Teams declining to play in bowl games.
Allowed transfers immediate eligibility.
CFP says fans opinions don’t matter.
Players suing for extra eligibility.
NCAA legally can’t enforce its own rules.
Corporate sponsor logos on fields.
Corporate sponsor logos on jerseys.
Corporate sponsor logos on helmets.
Players staying at one school is rare.
Cross-country travel for conference games.
NFL players attempting to return to college.
Tampering galore, highest bidder wins.
Tamperers reported = nothing happens.
Group of 6 schools’ best players taken.
2-minute timeout (extra commercials).
Eliminated clock stopping after 1st downs.
Rivalries eroded by realignment.
ESPN solely propping up the SEC.
FOX solely propping up the B1G.
13-0 FSU left out of 4-team CFP.
2-loss teams ranked ahead of 9-0 UCLA.
1-loss Georgia ranked ahead of 9-0 Utah.
BYU went 11-1 in reg. season, left out.
Rankings completely rigged for the SEC.
SEC rigging = declining interest elsewhere.
Declining attendance.
Normal fans getting priced out of games.
Parking’s exponentially more expensive.
Home-and-homes moved to neutral sites.
Constant roster turnover with the portal.
Fans lack personal bond to 1-year transfers.
Your favorite player probably transfers out.
Recruiting matters a lot less (they’ll leave).
Landing a big recruit doesn’t feel the same.
The word “committed” means nothing.
Preseason rankings/ratings skewing things.
Portal window overlapping with CFP.
Coaches have to recruit their current players.
Players “re-signing” during the season.
What is targeting? What is a catch?

Thank you again to all the fans on both sides that made for a memorable day in Alaska Airlines Arena. 🙏
The second-largest crowd in history to close out the home season brings UW up to 12th nationally in average attendance

To those in Congress, it’s time to act.
Raise the minimum wage.
End the pointless war in Iran.
Provide universal healthcare and childcare.
Pass comprehensive immigration reform.
Implement sensible AI guardrails.
Codify abortion rights into law.

Reporter: Do you worry that he [Abdul El-Sayed] is a bit too left wing to win in Michigan?
Black Hairstylist: “At this point, what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We’re on our way to hell. So at this point, socialist, socialize, social, don’t matter to me. Lower my cost of living!!” 😳😂

Per the Mississippi Free Press, Democrat Scott Colom leads incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by 1,138 votes, up from 65, with 96% counted. Votes remain in Democratic-leaning Hinds County and thousands of affidavit ballots.
>95% Reported
🔵 Scott Colom – 464,926 (49.0%)
🔴 Cindy Hyde-Smith – 463,788 (48.9%)
Results per AP

Very bullish on Dem Colom in Mississippi Senate right now.
Mississippi Senate: AP has Colom up 65, DDHQ up 1,864. Which is right? We checked county reports: AP is missing batches counties already released. Local figures match DDHQ in Warren, Clay and Lowndes, putting Colom's floor near +1,240 before affidavits. #MSSen #Mississippi

Seattle is already a great transit city, but the Seattle Transit Measure is the largest expansion of transit service in our city’s history. With these results, we’re only going to get better.

The people gave us a mandate for bold, transformative policy.
And our Democratic majority must meet the moment.
Now is not the time for incrementalism or moderating our aspirations.
We have to use our power and be ready on day one to do the work of repair and reconstruction.

Talarico and Hinojosa were laser-focused on anti-oligarch, anti-corruption populism, and they won America’s biggest red state after Corporate Dems had lost the state to Republicans for generations.
Nobody should ever again listen to Corporate Dems’ “electability” arguments.

Americans are tired of being told their needs are unrealistic by politicians who have been bought by the wealthiest people in the country.

The many beat the money. The people beat the corporations and special interests. Hope beat hate and fear.
Michigan, we won.
