D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser didn't touch on the impact on traffic patterns to construct the circuit, especially in the days/weeks before the Aug. 22-23 race.
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy: "Today almost didn't happen."
Duffy said the first course considered—which would have gone around the Capitol—faced pushback from Congress.
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said DC is known for being the "city of red tape." An executive order signed by President Trump in January cut through the normal permitting process, making this race possible. It usually takes two years to execute an urban street race.
A better look at the circuit
Details of Freedom 250 Grand Prix—an IndyCar Series race set to take place on the National Mall in August—are coming out this afternoon at news conference near the steps of the Capitol.
Here’s the 1.66-mile, 7-turn circuit:
Showed the owners of the bar (Tarbenders in Leesburg, Va.) who graciously allowed us to shoot the sizzle reel (my fucking crazy ass true crime documentary I’m developing) and their reaction matched thee media companies we’ve shown it to.
Lawyers for Brian Flores filed an amended complaint as part of the long-running racial discrimination case against the NFL. The latest complaint includes the added Title VII (of the 1964 Civil Rights Act) charge as expected.

This man is a national treasure.
The Red Sox picked the design of the new home jerseys from multiple options before they were made at Fanatics’ Pennsylvania plant that has produced MLB jerseys for decades. Those involved in turning the mockup into a finished product informed the Red Sox on multiple occasions that the piping down the middle of the jerseys was too close to the “Red Sox” lettering, a person familiar with the conversations who is not authorized to discuss it publicly told The Times.
What occurred last week with the Red Sox jerseys is the latest example as upset fans reflexively hammered Fanatics on social media—and the team's initial statement stoked that outcry.
Fanatics tried to head this controversy off in the planning stages. www.latimes.com/sports/story...
Fan criticism of Fanatics is at an all-time high—and part of that comes from taking the heat on social media for others' faults.
“They have high expectations and we appreciate that," Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin tells @latimes.com. www.latimes.com/sports/story...
After going a year between writing an article, this next one follows only three weeks later. Keep an eye on the @latimes.com for my next sports story (and that includes Sunday’s paper).

We need more movies like Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. And you are afraid of cats, @ericstephen.bsky.social?
Ugh! My wife didn’t want to see it last weekend, but after I didn’t screw up V-Day, we are gonna see it.
Came to this realization today: I’m not white enough nor brown enough to wear a Bass Pro Shops hat.
Back in 2009, I profiled Mike Rutenberg when he was a New Mexico State assistant coach making $30k a year—tied for the lowest-paid assistant in FBS that year.
"If you have to coach on the moon, you better find a way to survive on the moon."

Picture of a table setup work a rose and a lamp from the wine bar
A guy proposed to his girlfriend at the wine bar/restaurant we went to tonight. After she said “yes,” and he got off his knee, he said, “Fuck, that’s embarrassing.” Bruh, you didn’t do it on a scoreboard proposal like 🙋🏽
Last Thursday, Mississippi Today reported that the National Park Service removed brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument that called the murderer of Medgar Evers a racist. The article cited Park Service officials who “asked not to be named for fear of retribution.” Evers, a renowned civil rights activist, was assassinated in 1963 by a white supremacist named Byron De La Beckwith in the driveway of his home in Jackson, Mississippi. Condemnation was swift. “The murder of Medgar Evers was an act of racial terror. That fact is not partisan. It is historical,” Martin Luther King III posted on X in response to the story. “Sanitizing history from violence and racism does not bring the country together. It weakens our understanding of who we are and how far we still have to go.” Senator Raphael Warnock also weighed in: “This administration is celebrating Black History Month by erasing it. We won’t let them get away with it.” And it would indeed be appalling if the administration were attempting to erase the context of Evers’s killing. There’s just one problem: it appears the brochures may not have been removed or edited at all.
The @columjournreview.bsky.social delved into @mississippitoday.org's coverage of the mini-scandal that the outlet created (and still hasn't corrected). www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...
Whoops. Wrong thread.
Federal Judge Valerie E. Caproni sided with Brian Flores and other plaintiffs in the long-running racial discrimination case against the NFL in an order this morning.
"All of the claims of Plaintiffs Brian Flores, Steve Wilks, and Ray Horton against the NFL and various member teams may now proceed."
My only argument there was Bobby Bonds v Mays. I was kinda sure Bonds was on the team that early or hit that many homers.
That was Matt’s call. I was leaning toward InBev/Anheuser-Busch. I don’t drink soda, so had no real clue.
