Hamlin asked his doctors “who won the game?” this morning. #BillsMafia
Doctors make point Hamlin communicates through writing due to breathing tube. Doctors told Damar—“Yes you won—you won the game of life!”
Re next steps—doctors want #DamarHamlin to be comfortably breathing on his own before any talk of discharge.
Doctors say the prayers and support from #BillsMafia, the Cincinnati community and America has been incredible over the last few days, they’ve felt it, the family has felt it and Damar is beginning to understand it today.

I usually don’t touch this but it’s not that hard. Just go back to the old format. Guest in studio. 30 minutes 1 on 1 grilling or 1 on 2 moderated debate in a discussion style. Then a round table of JOURNALISTS that recap the week’s news and previews the next. Be slow.
Many journalists want to do this but the suits always want to be “fresh” “hip” “wired” etc. Seeking to rebrand when it’s not necessary. “60 Minutes” hasn’t changed in years. Why? It’s dependable and solid. Sunday shows can be that.
I believe that there are still politicians and policymakers that would welcome a 30-45 minute in person discussion on national network TV. Take them over a 6 minute cable hit via satellite that is uninformative word salad.
Important to remember re immigration, there’s no “border-security” that’ll satisfy the #GOP. 9 years ago, Senate passed immigration reform 68-32 with 14 GOP votes! GOP Senator who negotiated the border security called it “overkill.” nbcnews.com/news/amp/wbna5…
Nevertheless McConnell and his team said it wasn’t enough. House GOP Leadership agreed and they killed the bill. politico.com/story/2013/06/…
Remember, most undocumented folks overstay their visas, they’re not crossing through borders on foot. So “border-security” is all the more hallow. #GOP leaders knew in 2013 & after Trump really know, their base will not accept anything short of ruthless contempt re immigration.
Showing Josh Hawley running in fear from the mob after giving them his faux macho fist pump did not necessarily need to be included but it made the close. #January6th
