I was thinking the other day that one of the things I have really missed in the run-up to this World Cup is Grant's voice and podcast. He could get so many people to talk with him and he wasn't afraid to make news (Donovan dropped the McKinnney staying out late nugget on his pod).

This is alarming.

Was ICE targeting a journalist? One in particular who had covered their detention activities in Nashville?

That looks so good.

And also the background music sounds like it's from a Home Depot ad.

Some of the bosses are aware of the THP conduct during last May's immigration operation with ICE.

But not Gov. Bill Lee.

Kilmar Abrego GarcΓ­a's case: Vindictive prosecution hearing - Nashville Banner The latest chapter in the Kilmar Abrego GarcΓ­a case was a hearing on a motion to dismiss due to vindictive prosecution, creating the possibility he could go free.

@mikeiereiland.bsky.social's look inside the Kilmar Abrego Garcia hearing where federal prosecutors were on the stand is a hell of a well done story

Exactly. And while I appreciate what Whitney is saying about out of town concepts β€” we need another steakhouse like we need a swift kick in the nads β€” occasionally we get the good stuff, like Au Cheval.

This is Au Cheval, which routinely ranks as one of the best burgers in Chicago.

For all of the out-of-town food stuff that has landed in Nashville, this is genuinely exciting.
