VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are on the case 👇- TN

Three people peacing out in a day and a half.

Lucas Herbert, who won twice on LIV Golf in 2026, is also out on the 2.0 version of the league, per Flushing It. A steady stream of decisions announced today seems to indicate an inflection point.

Branden Grace follows fellow South African Louis Oosthuizen out of LIV Golf, back to the DP World Tour. At this point, LIV 2.0 should just be an influencer league.

Folks, if you've lost Ian Poulter, you might as well fold up shop.

Ian Poulter has announced he's out of LIV Golf 2.0, marking another exit from a team captain as the league struggles to retain players.

Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all.   If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

My kids are too young to tell them this, but if they ever post "Happy heavenly birthday" after I'm dead, I'll have someone retroactively confiscate their inheritance

The airport lounge exists outside of time and space. Everyone is drinking in here like they're on a bender with just 2 hours to live. Anyway, I'm enjoying my mimosa because I like to at least ease into the hard stuff.

I would really like to open a chip-and-putt course. Not a full-blown par 3. Just a bunch of shots that are 20-70 yards, with artificial turf greens. And a nice bar.

Get his ass, Judge Reyes. The administration was always planning to do this tree removal in defiance of any orders, then turn around, shrug its shoulders and say, "Oh, too late."

The hearing is ongoing and Reyes has witnesses appearing. “We had a meeting” on October 5, a senior official from NPS says, saying it was scheduled by Interior Dept (deputy?) chief of staff, Gregory Wischer. Reyes is asking for Wischer to get on the call.

Never forget that David Brooks is a moron.

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

Jon Rahm is out on LIV Golf 2.0, with his attorney saying during a LIV Golf bankruptcy hearing that the Spaniard will not participate in the new version of the league. It's a huge, somewhat expected blow, to the hopes of LIV Golf to continue in a meaningful way.

58! Yuta Sugiura shot 12-under 58 in the third round of the Compliance Solutions Championship at The Patriot Golf Club in Oklahoma, the third event of the Korn Ferry Tour Finals. It's the 3rd 58 in tour history.
