- Reposted by Mark RankinIn New Jersey, AIPAC went on the attack against a moderate Dem & former member of Congress, a longtime supporter of Israel who'd offered some criticism. They tried to help another Dem. The result appears to be fueling a 3rd candidate, the one who ran on the most left wing lane.

- Reposted by Mark RankinI stand by my previous comment that AIPAC has totally lost its juice. Honestly, it doesn't matter if Malinowski finds another 100 votes. This is political incompetence par excellence.

- Reposted by Mark RankinIt is now confirmed that Hennepin County Sheriff's office is helping ICE abduct people. I suspected as much, given that they tend to be around just a bit before ICE shows up, but they helped ICE raid the public defender's office. youtube.com/shorts/4c0sB...
- Reposted by Mark RankinI'm not 100% if this is how this works, but according to Spotrac we're $1.51m under the 1st apr after the trades. We've also got 30 games (or ~36%) of the season left. The vet minimum for 10+ years of service is $3.9m. So Bite Bite's prorated minimum would be... 3.9m x 36% = $1.4m... ...aka GOOD!

- Reposted by Mark RankinMinnesota picks up the biggest win of Niko Medved's young tenure by knocking off No. 10 Michigan State 76-73. Flooding the Barn floor in Minneapolis. It's not going to happen this year, but Medved will bring the Gophers to multiple NCAA Tournaments. He's too good. Bank on it.
- Gophers getting wins over 3 teams who were ranked at the time is a better tournament resume than some of their actual tournament teams
- Also LMFAO eat shit Izzo
- The last time I won the office March madness pool was the last time the Gophers were semi decent and had some wins over tourney teams and so I picked against all of those teams that lost to the maroon and gold, so Im hoping I can pull that off again
