More well-deserved recognition for #Billikens softball today as @KarsenJany and @AbbyUlsas land on the NFCA's "Selected Top Performances" list for Feb. 9-15! slubillikens.com/news/2026/2/17…

Today’s American History Lesson: Puerto Rico has been part of the U.S. since 1898, and Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 We’ve cheered many non-Americans at the #SuperBowl. Bad Bunny isn’t one of them. 🏈 🎤

I live in Bad Bunny’s hometown. We shop where he worked as a bagger. We deliver lunches in the community he was raised. Members of his family have been volunteers at our non-profit. And from here, we can tell the world: he is generous, he is genuine, he is talented, he is us.

I’d barely heard of Bad Bunny until my daughter mentioned his Super Bowl halftime performance. But after watching his documentary — and the backlash around him — I realized he’s doing far more than making hits. He’s forcing America to confront an uncomfortable truth: Puerto Ricans are treated like second‑class citizens in a country that insists they’re fully American.

Bad Bunny held up a football at the end of his Super Bowl halftime show that reads: "Together, We Are America"

SLU’s Abby Mallo hit a 2-run homer in her first at-bat of the season after breaking HR and RBI records in 2025.

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists. It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not. Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on. Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…

I’m a doctor who has seen people die from vaccine-preventable diseases. What parents need to hear right now is vaccines for measles, polio, hepatitis B and other childhood diseases are safe and effective and will not cause autism. Any statement to the contrary is wrong, irresponsible, and actively makes Americans sicker. We need to understand the real causes of autism. Studies show there’s a genetic predisposition when a mom who’s pregnant is exposed to environmental toxins which can increase a child’s risk of autism. It’s deeply troubling that, according to HHS officials, they appeared to have canceled hundreds of millions in research on autism genetics. Redirecting attention to factors we definitely know DO NOT cause autism denies families the answers they deserve. We had two children die and many more hospitalized nationally from measles this year. Louisiana is experiencing its worst whooping cough outbreak in 35 years. Families are getting sick and people are dying from vaccine-preventable deaths, and that tragedy needs to stop.

Thanks to vaccines, fewer children are dying from preventable diseases around the world. Cutting funding for them would reverse that progress and put millions of children in danger.

Tonight we celebrated the journey to an A-10 Championship & an NCAA Regional! We didn't just win, we made history! It's more than a ring--it's a legacy!🏆

We agree with Charlie Kirk on basically nothing. Except that he deserves the right, as every human does, to speak freely without the threat of violence.

Incredible young women that do it right AND do it well…on & off the field! So proud of this team & honored to be their coach! #SimplyTheBest

Following a historic 2025 season on the field, #Billikens Softball made more history in the classroom by achieving the nation's highest grade point average among four-year softball programs. The term "student-athletes" never rang truer! Read about it here! slubillikens.com/news/2025/8/7/…

I have the coolest friends!!!

Hochman: No relation, much adulation for Taylor Hochman, SLU's softball ace in 1st NCAA Tournament stltoday.com/sports/column/…

Next Stop: Fayetteville, AR! Thank you to everyone that showed up to send us off to the NCAA Tournament! #GoBillikens

It looks like the Giants have found another fun Day Three arm. Evan Gray, their 15th-rounder last year, flashed plenty of funk and good stuff in his pro debut. Three Ks in two innings and flashing some Ryan Walker vibes.

First opening day since I was a kid. Absolutely love working with our crew up at Busch!
