This is so good. LaFleur's speech bubble with Stribling is perfect.
(Only quibble: please keep Lee Hunter off the NT board at 52)

The #FlowChart for the #Packers 2026 Draft. 💯 No first-round pick? No problem. ✅

. @BlueJacketsNHL who's got the aux tonight? Keep them around - MORE GHOST, PLEASE

And yet, despite all of this, he still sucks anyway!
Alex Witkoff@Alex_Witkoff
This is exactly why people are abandoning mainstream media: cheap insults instead of actual reporting You don’t have to agree with @DavidSacks on everything, but pretending he “sucks” while ignoring his actual track record is unserious. A few reminders: -Co-founded PayPal, one of the most consequential fintech platforms in history. -Built Yammer, sold to Microsoft for $1.2B -Backed Airbnb, SpaceX, Facebook, Uber, OpenAI, and Palantir in their early days -Hosts All-In, one of the most influential political podcasts -Major philanthropist and consistent supporter of free speech and open debate If the media wants to rebuild trust, maybe start by covering people honestly instead of writing headlines like YouTubers chasing clicks

@Peter_Bukowski @StatsOnFire Rigging the system so that you can't lose elections is subverting the system!
English
@TexWestern @StatsOnFire It's not but it is part of the system.
Leaving to avoid voting is subverting the system.
Win elections.

To be clear: The federal government is now being used to strong-arm lawmakers into gerrymandering their state so that elections are irrelevant.
NBC News@NBCNews
NEW: Sen. John Cornyn says the FBI approved his request for federal law enforcement to help locate Texas state Democratic lawmakers who left the state in an effort to block GOP redistricting efforts. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

@Peter_Bukowski @StatsOnFire Peter, look at Ohio. The state supreme court struck down maps in 2021 and 2022, but we voted on unconstitutional maps in 2022 anyway because the redistricting commission ran out the clock. Just saying "Courts review the maps!" isn't some silver bullet.

Voting maps are subject to appeal and courts overturn them all the time. It’s why we have a system.
Also, nothing is forever. The demos were supposed to favor Democrats forever coming out of 2012 and look what happened. Things change.
More to the point, the example I cited was different. Lawmakers should not subvert the process of government to avoid outcomes they find unfavorable. The slope is wildly slippery here. Make your case and if you lose a vote, work to change it next time. That’s the system.

Uhhhh hey Will, just be real careful what topics you let him teach you about
Up & Adams@UpAndAdamsShow
Aaron Rodgers becoming a Steeler is still up in the air, but rookie QB Will Howard is open to the possibility. 👀 "I'd love to be in a room and learn from him." @heykayadams | @whoward_ | @PaniniAmerica

@JuMosq IDK but I'm confident the NHL lottery has been rigged frequently

They'll never admit it, but I bet the Conclave's final vote wasn't even close. Probably 25 or 6 to 4

@bigpackers4x .@BadgerNoonan and I broke the news to this guy about 81 - > 22

R.I.P to this guy 😬
Matt Schneidman@mattschneidman
Packers announce Matthew Golden will wear No. 22, not No. 81.

To any friends and followers headed up to GB for the draft next week:
I'll be at @GBDistillery for the APC/FTF meetup from 12-4 PM on Friday, 4/25. Join us to play some trivia and just hang out before day 2 gets underway!

Donald Trump does love the mining community
Just Google "Donald Trump minors" to learn more

@DavidBakhtiari I have yet to read a compelling argument for why this is a better option than simply taxing the ultra-rich

If anyone’s asking “why tf are we doing Tariffs?” Here’s a good summary/breakdown of what the administration and Trump are trying to accomplish.
Give it a read and lemme know what you think:👇🏼
Tanvi Ratna@tanvi_ratna
Trump’s new tariffs aren’t a trade tweak—they’re the first move in a full-spectrum reset. $9.2T in debt matures in 2025. Inflation lingers. Alliances are shifting. One announcement just set a dozen wheels in motion. Here’s what’s really happening—and why it matters 🧵

Hahahahaha take that, Elon, you giant ball of pus, slime, and hate.
Wisconsin is not for sale.

For the record:
@SamKuffelWx rocks, CBS58 is run by idiots, and Dan O'Donnell has a bowl of yogurt where his brain should be.
English
That 2021 draft class is stinky.
Only 4 guys are even still on the roster -- Stokes, Myers, Slaton, and McDuffie -- and there's a good chance none of them gets re-signed.
Ken - Packers Cap@KenIngalls
@jonhawks317 It happened in 2019 when the prior draft classes were stinkers. It will happen again in 2025. When you don't have draft picks heading to free agency worth keeping, then you spend the money in free agency instead.
