One of the great group shots of "The Late Show" staff posing on stage:

Ryan Moran said @UMBCAthletics athletic director Tiffany D. Tucker informed him yesterday that he will be terminated as @UMBC_MLax coach. He said she gave him two options: to be fired for cause or resign. Moran said he will not resign.

Danny is sick and tried of Fairfax County Schools consistenly having days off school.

The Maryland Aviation Administration has been informed that ICE is deploying additional personnel to @BWI_Airport starting today. We have been told by ICE their personnel will provide operational support and assist at @TSA security checkpoints to speed up the clearance process for passengers — not immigration enforcement. Passenger and baggage screening responsibilities will remain with trained, skilled TSA personnel. Americans are sick and tired of Washington’s dysfunction. The federal government needs to get its act together, pay TSA officers, and stop asking ICE agents to do work far outside their scope. As airports across the country continue to deal with long waits, travelers with upcoming flights should plan ahead, arrive early, and closely monitor airport and airline updates.

Coach Cal praised HPU for flying students out postgame. He added: “Administrations win championships. Coaches win games. In this era of NIL, if you’re not totally into it and they’re not committed, you’re not winning. You just can’t. And High Point is.” Worth the full listen.

This is a really astonishing claim: Students in Mississippi & Louisiana score higher on reading tests than students in California & New York despite spending way less money per pupil and having higher child poverty rates. Decided to double check the data because, if true, this should be alarming for blue state leaders. And yup, it checks out. Reading performance (NAEP 2024, Grade 4 reading, average scale score): Mississippi: 219 Louisiana: 216 New York: 215 California: 212 Child poverty (SAIPE; “estimated percent of people age 0–17 in poverty,” 2023): Louisiana: 25.2% Mississippi: 24.3% New York: 18.6% California: 15.0% Per-pupil spending (public K–12 “current expenditures per pupil,” FY2023, inflation-adjusted to FY2023 dollars) New York: $29,588 California: $18,568 Louisiana: $14,822 Mississippi: $12,238 It should be unacceptable to spend that much more taxpayer money while delivering worse results for students.

WOW: 16 yo Wootton HS Shooter (Rockville Md) *likely* wearing ankle monitor (for prior crimes) when he shot 2 students, prosecutor says "no comment" Fox5DC Reporter: Was he wearing an ankle monitor at time? MoCo DA John McCarthy: I... I'm not ... I have no comment [shaking head]

Thanks to big pharma trying to sell us GLP-1s we are now allowed to admit that when you lose weight it takes stress off your joints and improves your health—a thing we were told was not true for a decade.
