The current U.S. debt ceiling is $41.1 trillion, following a $5 trillion increase signed into law in July 2025. With the national debt now over $38 trillion and a projected deficit of nearly $3 trillion for the fiscal year, any reduction in government revenue will trigger debt-ceiling negotiations before the end of the 2026 fiscal year (September 30, 2026), just over a month before the midterm elections. This could become very messy politically for the party that controls the White House and holds majorities in both the Senate and the House. 2026 is shaping up to be a very dynamic year.

@NFL_DovKleiman Puka is very good, even elite. But, he’s no JSN.

𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗦: Rams star WR Puka Nacua is expected to sign a record-breaking contract extension that will make him the NFL’s highest-paid wide receiver at $42.5M-$43M per year. This would beat out the historic deal the Seahawks just gave Jaxon Smith-Njigba at $42.15M per year. The Rams will lock in Puka later this offseason.

@StephenFleming Or $1k.

There may be a new business model lurking here. Imagine an FAA-supervised “remote terminal” in Alpharetta, Georgia. Park for free, check your bag, go through security, and you’re in the TSA-controlled system. A bus takes you to Hartsfield-Jackson. You pay… I dunno. Eighty bucks round trip?

@AdamSchefter @SeifertESPN @kalynkahler Are the replacement officials for the NFL going to be better than CB Buckner in MLB?

NFL is set to hire replacement officials and begin onboarding them in the coming weeks, via @SeifertESPN and @kalynkahler. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

@tsnmike Point guard. The Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves and others in the NBA have found out the hard way that a point guard is necessary. Even the 1990s Bulls had a point guard.

Duke recruited the best freshman 4 times in past 7 years. But Cooper Flagg and Paolo Banchero lost in Final Four; Zion Williamson and now Cameron Boozer didn't even get that far. Why? Because Duke's not covering itself at the most important position. sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-basket…

@amarkowitzWX I wasn’t expecting that a bus trip would be $1k. x.com/pseudocrazy/st…

Why is a 50 minute bus ride over $1000????

John Calipari, currently the head coach at Arkansas, has been a vocal proponent of reforming the NCAA transfer portal and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) structure, advocating for a model that limits player movement and stabilizes college rosters. [1, 2, 3] His proposed solution, often discussed throughout 2025 and early 2026, revolves around these key points: • One-Time Transfer Limitation: Calipari believes players should be allowed to transfer once without penalty (e.g., if a coach leaves, or the student picked the wrong school). • Mandatory Sitting: If a player transfers a second time, they should be required to sit out for a full season, discouraging "mercenary" rosters. • 5-Year Eligibility Clock: He advocates for a "5-years-to-play-5" model, eliminating redshirting to prevent 27-28 year olds from dominating college basketball, allowing them to play for five years but capping their eligibility there. • Preventing "Transactional" Teams: Calipari argues that unlimited transfers are detrimental to student-athletes' ability to graduate, transforming college basketball into a system where players constantly seek the highest bidder. [1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] Background on Calipari's Contract:Upon leaving Kentucky, Calipari signed a five-year contract with the Arkansas Razorbacks in April 2024, which runs through April 30, 2029, with potential roll-over years.

My NIL bill is simple. You get five consecutive years to play five seasons with one free transfer. If you choose to transfer again, you sit out a year. Proud to be leading the charge to SAVE COLLEGE SPORTS.

@PolymarketSport If Boozer went to a medical facility to get this treatment, the bill would be $10k for emergency care, $20k for medical supplies (can of coke) and $50k for the person holding the coke to stay on the face.

@PolymarketSport Best advertisement for #coke of the tournament.

Duke’s medical staff were treating their superstar’s injury with a soda can. Duke is worth about $12,300,000,000.00

@evilcassieroll @PolymarketSport Coca-Cola. Not Pepsi.

@PolymarketSport 12 billion dollar endowment and they're icing injuries with pepsi cans. peak college sports infrastructure

@Polymarket If this is the case, why is the United States still sending ground troops? The actions do not match the words. Where is the lie?

JUST IN: President Trump says Iran gave the U.S. “most” of the 15 demands it sent in negotiations.

@RealDanZak It is palm Sunday, the start of holy week.

Dan Hurley told me the first thing he did after he got off the court was to go into a bathroom stall and pray. “The first person I need to talk to was God.”

@TomPenders 👀 x.com/i/status/20384…

Duke had 10 seconds to dribble out the clock. Boozer panicked and passed it to his brother. He could have held it and drew a foul but he made a poor decision. Where was the Duke coach? Was he ready to call a timeout? The Boozers are great professional players but they’re 18!

@SharpFootball If he held the ball, the game is over too.

UNREAL 🤯🤯 if he completes this pass, DUKE WINS all five UCONN defenders are up two Duke players are all alone but ball is tipped, stolen & the rest is history

College basketball is all about freshman. Look at who the Duke freshmen were last year: Cooper Flag and Kon Knueppel, and of which will win rookie of the year. If one of them stayed, Duke wins. UConn and Michigan State are two of the blue bloods who develop players and where players stay more than one year. Yes, star players get the attention, but teams win championships. Listen to coaches Hurley and Izzo about what it takes to be great. They understand the process and commitment. They teach it to their players. Their players show the learned by what they do on the court. Yes, Michigan State did not get to the final four, but what team defeated them?

Duke lost 3 games by a total of 5 points. But have exited the tourney giving up double digit leads two years in a row. Scheyer has this thing close, but not perfect. My takeaway, get a little older. Too many freshman. #Duke.

@SenTuberville Sounds like what coach cal said before you.

Coach K would have called a timeout before inbounding the ball. Discussed many of the scenarios including not having to get the ball across midcourt. Put his upper classmen in the game. Iced the game with free throws. Yes, I know that due to NIL and a plethora of other factors upper classmen no longer exist in college basketball. But, can't Duke find a Drew Timme to accept $2 million to ride the pine until they are needed for moments like this. It's like Duke couldn't believe this was happening to them (again). They didn't have to wait a lifetime for it. This was the fourth time this season they blew a double digit lead. Fool me once, twice, thrice but not a fourth time?!?

Jon Scheyer and the Duke bench watching Braylon Mullins' last-second heroics

@BetMGM You’re also telling me that the NCAA allows blood on the jersey of players? And, that the players are allowed to play while bleeding?

You're telling me the biggest college basketball program in the country can't get a bag of ice

@murphsturph Why does he have blood on his jersey?

Cayden Boozer says he feels like he let his brother down. May be the last time they get to play together.

@BarstoolBDevils No charge nor travel btw... x.com/i/status/20383…

No call, no review btw. Truly, I don’t care. Refs make mistakes, but please don’t hit my account talking about Duke whistle.

@CBSSportsCBB @realgranthill33 @GeneSteratore It was a charge and travel. Did you see the hop step?
