In the latest edition of "Colts Qs," readers wanted to know all about the quarterback competition between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones
and what our expectations for the Colts' 2025 season should be
"If the Colts had the 4th pick instead of the 14th
would have they selected Tyler Warren anyways?" -- @ccaarrlooss
TwitterI doubt the Colts had many players ranked above Warren at all
Will Campbell or Armand Membou would've made a lot of sense for them if they picked fourth
I think they may have tried to trade back from the fourth pick to still try and grab Warren
"Do we really believe this is a make-it-or-break-it year for Chris Ballard
I wonder what they have to do for him to keep his job
I believe this team's ceiling is just making the playoffs." -- @dweath42.bsky.social
Bluesky"Do you see a future at the end of this next season Ballard gets fired but Shane Steichen keeps his job and gets to help pick the next GM?" -- @blake14jeffers
Twitter"Where do you think the Colts finish in the AFC South this year
Twitter"What are the expectations for the season?" -- @chabar84
TwitterI don't want to say that the Colts have to outright make the playoffs in order for Ballard to keep his job
because crazy things happen at the end of the season all the time
they need to be playing for a spot in Week 18
and vibes around the team have to be optimistic that the arrow is pointing up
They can't have any more of these no-show games where they get blown out by bad teams
while Steichen is retained after the season
I've been under the impression that Ballard and Steichen are kind of a package deal
but this organization can do some pretty unpredictable things
I think player and consultant input would have to play a big role in order for the Colts to part with one but not the other.The division got better this offseason
but the Colts need to be competing for its title regardless
but they just keep finding a way to make it work
The Jaguars get a healthy Trevor Lawrence back
the Colts should be around that 9-8 mark and competing for the division crown in the final week of the season
"Who are some potential in-house off-season extensions?" -- @chicagolp.bsky.social
Bluesky"Do you think we see Bernhard Raimann and/or Alec Pierce extensions before the season starts?" -- @Steve17bScuba
Twitter"When will Raimann and/or Pierce lock in new contracts
and what do you think those projected extensions will look like?" -- @hovaldt_trevor
TwitterRaimann and Nick Cross are the most likely extensions
but if AD Mitchell begins to look like the guy they hoped he'd be
then there's only so much room for guys who need to get the ball
and Samson Enukam may already have their replacements on the roster.If I were the Colts
I wouldn't be waiting long to extend Raimann
There are 15 tackles in the NFL making at least $20 million per year
and that's only going to keep going up
The Colts may have his replacement already in Mitchell
and as a somewhat niche (albeit impactful) player
Pierce may not command a huge payday elsewhere
"Let’s say Anthony Richardson throws it 25 times a game
how do those targets get distributed?" -- @miralem1.bsky.social
only because I felt I needed room for about two-or-so more when projecting this
I'd say you give Josh Downs and Warren about seven each
and about five between Pierce and Mitchell
That doesn't leave any room for miscellaneous targets for guys like Mo Alie-Cox
but I think those are good general weekly averages
"If AR takes that step that he needs to
do you see us being able to compete for the division?" -- Hunter Reed
FacebookAbsolutely; quarterback is the ultimate X-factor for the Colts
If Richardson actually proves to be the guy
and a defense that looks to be about average at worst
"How much does AR’s completion percentage need to improve in order for him to keep his starting job?" -- @Isaac23178765
TwitterIt's unrealistic to say he's going to be a 60-plus guy right away
but if he can get it closer to 55% this year
A huge factor in his completion percentage is the routes he targets
checkdown options should increase his percentage
"Is there any part of you that fears Daniel Jones wins the QB job?" -- @JustinRTBColts
TwitterI wouldn't say "fears," but I do think it would be disappointing if Richardson couldn't show enough growth to retain the job
then it probably means the Colts will have an offense somewhat reminiscent of 2023 with Gardner Minshew
Jones likely wouldn't be showing that he's the future of the franchise
which means the Colts would have to figure out the quarterback position once again for the eighth straight year
"Would league-average QB play get the Colts to the playoffs with this roster
If yes…what percent chance would you give AR or DJ (or more likely the combination of the two) providing at least league-average QB play?" -- @SeafordFootDoc
TwitterI do think the Colts would be capable of getting into the postseason with somewhat steady quarterback play
I won't make some big proclamation that one of them will definitely take a big jump
but I'll give each the benefit of the doubt and say that they'll both at least be a little better than they were last year
Let's say 55% chance that at least one of them looks like a reasonable starter
is Tanor Bortolini being listed as a guard on the Colts website a real thing for this year?" -- Rich Wheeler
FacebookI wouldn't look too much into that
The Colts do feel Bortolini could play center or guard
but he should be considered the front-runner for the center position
There is a world where the Colts make Danny Pinter the center and Bortolini the right guard

"Since we have a couple young options for Swing Tackle
should Braden Smith be moved inside to Right Gaurd and develop Goncalves at Right Tackle?" -- Rick Shaffer
Facebook"Likely that Matt Goncalves plays RG?" -- @drphilgood68
TwitterSmith's going to stay put at right tackle
with it feeling likely that one of the younger players (Goncalves or Jalen Travis) takes over there in 2026
I believe the vision is that Bortolini and Pinter battle for center (with Bortolini winning)
Goncalves at right guard (dark horse battle between Bortolini and Dalton Tucker)
with Travis competing with Blake Freeland for the swing tackle role
"3rd-and-Goal from the 2 - can you see a scenario where Jalen Travis comes in as the eligible 6th lineman in a jumbo package for the ultimate play-action pass to the big man (a la Dan Skipper)
Did he ever catch a pass in high school or college?" -- BlueskyI couldn't find any record of Travis previously catching passes
as he was still an offensive lineman in high school
so he's likely athletic enough for the Colts to tinker with the idea of using him as a trick-play target
It seems like a lot to try that with a rookie so early in their career
"Do you believe Justin Walley will be the 3-4th corner in the depth chart due to his speed & attack at the catch?" -- @Sn8ke3y3s13
TwitterI see Walley as the fourth corner initially behind Charvarius Ward
and he was handpicked for this new defense
but it's difficult for me to envision the Colts ripping Jones from the lineup for a third-round rookie right off the bat
That's not to say Walley couldn't win the job later in the season
"If Germaine Pratt becomes a June 1 cut
would he be a #1 priority signing?" -- David Whiteley
FacebookI look at it this way: if Pratt previously had nothing to do with Lou Anarumo
would he be as big a topic of conversation
Coupling Pratt with Zaire Franklin is too much like having two of the same guy on the field for me
I'd rather see what Jaylon Carlies can do with an extended look as the starting WILL linebacker
"Do you think we should pursue Trey Hendrickson for a 2nd round pick?" -- @kodac120
TwitterIt feels less likely all the time that the Bengals even trade Hendrickson
let alone deal him specifically to the Colts
The Colts already have their eyes toward the future at defensive end with Laiatu Latu and JT Tuimoloau
Not that it would be a bad move for the Colts to trade for Hendrickson
but I no longer see the obvious path since the draft
and I don't know that the Colts are ready to handle that situation right now
"How excited are you about Riley Leonard being the franchise QB for this team?" -- @millerai
I don't mind the idea of Leonard being the Colts' backup for the foreseeable future
and the Colts have a ton of conviction in him as a person
"Will we finally break the Jacksonville curse this year?" -- @CheeZsteve
TwitterI can't pick the Colts to win on the road against Jacksonville until I actually see it happen
Was the price of getting to transition from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck that they never get to win in Jacksonville again
"What are the plans for JuJu Brents - safety
TwitterI've never heard Brents mentioned as a potential safety
so I'm not sure that's in the cards for the Colts
I think he'll get the chance to compete for a spot in this cornerback room
but the desire to keep him around because of his second-round status may soon be gone with the addition of Walley
"Which sophomore player has more pressure on them to have success: Matt Goncalves or Jaylon Carlies?" -- @ZBee2306
He's on a bit more of an island than Goncalves since it'll primarily just be him and Franklin on the field at once
The Colts neglected to address the linebacker position with any impactful moves because they had Carlies already
but he would have to play quite poorly for it to be very noticeable
"Do you anticipate more opposing teams' fans filling up Lucas Oil Stadium again this year?" -- @LarryMooshaker
TwitterSome fan bases just travel better than others
but the Colts also have to give home fans a reason to show up
In covering the team from the press box at Lucas Oil Stadium since 2018
I've never seen so many opposing fans throughout the season or empty seats late in the year
the Colts hosted an odd number of elite-level fan bases last year (Bears
so it probably won't be as noticeable in 2025
"Will everyone apologize to Anthony Richardson or Chris Ballard after we win the Super Bowl this year?" -- @Justinsmic
"Who would win in a fight: Colts' 90-man roster or a gorilla?" -- @fili86.bsky.social
so I'll take one Grover Stewart versus one gorilla

It took just one season at Michigan State for Jase Richardson to wow NBA scouts who watched him play. In April, the 19-year old guard announced his declaration for the NBA Draft
With efficient scoring and polished playmaking alongside some strong intangible traits
Richardson is a versatile prospect that could go to a number of different NBA teams
Matt Babcock of Babcock Hoops and Evan Miyakawa of EvanMiya.com
for their assessment of Richardson’s pro potential
Richardson will work out at the NBA combine May 11-18
with the NBA Draft Lottery scheduled for May 12
attack the rim on the drive and hit his free throws on the often times he draws a foul
Richardson averaged 12.1 points and 1.9 assists per game across the entire season and 16.1 points and 1.7 assists per game in 15 games as a starter
41.2% on 3-pointers and 83.6% on free throws
percentages that suggest to Miyakawa that his shot can translate to the pro level
He turned the ball over the least of Michigan State’s guard rotation
His turnovers actually went down a tick when he played more
from 0.9 per game off the bench to 0.7 as a starter
“Something that really impressed me as a freshman was that he made plays for himself and for others without turning the ball over hardly at all,” Miyakawa said
“His turnovers grade at EvanMiya.com is in the top 10% nationally
which is really abnormal for a guard who has the ball in their hands as much as him.”
Added Babcock: “He does a lot of things that make him appealing as a prospect
Richardson factored in more and more by the end of the season
becoming the leading force of a lineup built from abundant depth
He consistently put himself in positions to impact the game
whether that be running his lane in transition
finding open space in the half-court or hustling back on defense to grab a rebound
“What stood out to me the most was his steady development throughout the season,” Babcock said
“He built real momentum down the stretch — his confidence
and ability to impact winning all took a jump
and that larger sample of quality play left the biggest impression.”
that feel for the game is an area NBA teams value
“Feel for the game is definitely an important trait,” Miyakawa said
“especially if you see it develop over the course of a single year in college
It shows that he is constantly improving and will continue to do so at the next level.”
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo pointed out how he never thought Richardson was a “great” defender
but the freshman kept fooling him with how well he defended in games
Richardson must’ve fooled the models because Miyakawa’s defensive metrics are strong on him
“Richardson had to show his defensive trustworthiness in order to be starting by the end of the year,” Miyakawa said
“Richardson had an adjusted team defensive efficiency of 87.4
which means that MSU gave up 87.4 points per 100 possessions while he was on the floor (adjusted for opponent strength)
While he wasn’t one of the top defenders on the team
the fact that he falls right in the middle of a roster that was a top-five defense last year is a sign that he was more than capable of holding his own defensively.”
Some of the concerns with Richardson’s game are ones that are
but he is on the smaller size compared to some pro guards he would have to guard
especially for someone who plays more off the ball,” Babcock said
“That’s the main reason I have him a bit lower than where some others have him projected
I’m also curious to see if he measures at his listed 6-foot-3 at the combine
If his measurements come back on the taller side
Both Miyakawa and Babcock pointed out that Richardson is
to round out his game and gain a little size
if not in height than in muscle and weight
“Richardson has many qualities that project well in a complementary role,” Babcock said
“As for whether he lands on a more established team or one that’s rebuilding
it doesn’t make a huge difference where he starts
What matters is that he keeps getting better.”
In a day and age when draft prospects are faced with enormous pressure to change the fate of an NBA team that drafts them
Richardson’s projections as a late first-rounder that will take time to develop might mean a more established organization drafts him
For a player who thrives alongside other good players
Miyakawa points to Brandin Podziemski’s Year 2 success with the Golden State Warriors as an example of this
“Richardson is not necessarily the kind of player that an NBA franchise will be bringing in to be a big difference-maker in his first season in the NBA,” Miyakawa said
“I don’t think it matters too much whether he goes to a team that’s ready to win now or win later
but playing with a slightly more well-constructed team could give him more time to grow without the pressure to be a star player right away.”
Current mock drafts slot Richardson in the first round
Jonathan Wasserman of Bleacher Report mocked him as high as 11th
The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie pegged Richardson 19th
Babcock has Richardson in the mid-to-late first round
it’s not that I don’t like him as a prospect (I do),” Babcock said
“It’s just that my objective evaluation landed a bit differently than the consensus.”
Babcock believes that as an undersized off-ball guard
Richardson will need to develop into a true combo guard
Babcock compared Richardson’s potential performance to Immanuel Quickley
the Toronto Raptors shooting guard who was the 25th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft
Where Richardson lands may be dictated by where teams fall in the draft lottery
Though the wording of his declaration statement reads with a firmness that suggests it’s NBA or bust for Richardson this summer
General Manager of the Richardson Hotel Karen Oleszak talks about her favorite feature of the historic building
Douglas Jemal added the Richardson Hotel to a portfolio that already included several of the region’s most iconic properties
with plans to expand the hotel and build hundreds of apartments in a major investment on Buffalo’s historic Richardson Olmsted Campus
But Jemal’s circumstances have changed dramatically since then
he feared he couldn’t afford to put any more money into the Richardson site and he would have to walk away
“Douglas expressed he is unable to continue with the Richardson project,” according to a memo from Paul Hojnacki
to fellow board members that was obtained by The Buffalo News
Jemal’s decision left the Richardson board to worry about finding another hotel operator − who would have been the third since the venue opened eight years ago − and raised questions about the developer’s ability to pay for his other big projects in this community
But after a tense few days of behind-the-scenes talks focused on potentially reducing Jemal’s lease costs
as part of a broader discussion of the hotel’s future
the developer now says he has no intention of abandoning a project he calls a “golden asset” for Buffalo − and no plans to make way for another operator
After more than 15 years of frenetic activity that drove a big change in Buffalo's skyline and the region's landscape
real estate development locally is slowing
he and Hojnacki insist they are working together to help each other and ensure the long-term success of the hotel and the wider campus
And Jemal emphasized there is “absolutely” no need for worry among hotel guests or clients who have booked banquets
events and other activities in the coming months
and we will continue to,” Jemal said in a joint interview with Hojnacki
“It’s a partnership that we’ve had in excess of four years
and my objective is the same as the Richardson Olmsted: To see that this project becomes a viable project for the next generation and many generations after that.”
Hojnacki said Jemal is “paid in full” on his current obligations
and “we don’t have an issue at this moment with the payments from Douglas Development.”
“That’s what’s really important for us as a nonprofit trying to keep the property maintained,” Hojnacki said
“That’s what our discussion has been about: How do we continue on the path to keep the campus a viable campus?”
Developer Douglas Jemal said he is committed to the future of the Richardson Hotel on the Richardson Olmsted Campus
Economic factors related to borrowing and construction costs have constrained his ability to finish the project
But the Richardson Hotel discussions come at a time when Jemal’s extensive real estate holdings in Washington
are under pressure from Trump administration cutbacks as he grapples with higher interest rates and construction costs
Sources inside the Richardson board say Jemal has voiced concerns to board leaders about his ability to continue to afford rent and maintenance payments he is required to make for the 88-room hotel under a long-term lease
as well as seven other buildings on the campus he planned to redevelop into 250 apartments and three more set aside for a future hotel expansion
According to corporation board members and the board memo
Jemal had indicated he needed to back away from the hotel
prompting frantic recent discussions leading up to this week’s board meeting
“It does look like things will change there in the near term,” said board member Robert Shibley
director of the Rudy Bruner Center of Excellence at University at Buffalo
After the much-hyped and ultimately failed Hotel Henry on the Richardson Olmsted Campus
The Richardson Hotel held a grand opening on Tuesday
Board members said Jemal cited the current economic conditions that all developers are facing nationwide – higher interest rates and higher costs for construction
materials and labor – but also the additional pressure he is confronting because of upheaval in Washington
That is where the bulk of his real estate portfolio and business is located
and where he derives much of his profit and cash flow
But it is also where heavy federal government layoffs and lease terminations in the Washington area are affecting major property owners
“It’s the ATM machine that’s funded all his projects
and they’re really challenged there,” said one Richardson board member
the memo said Jemal told attorney and board member Christopher Greene in a meeting that the Richardson Hotel is a drain on his cash flow
when hotel traffic is typically much lower than the summer
because the summer generates enough guest activity and revenue to reduce the losses
The Richardson Center seeks $12 million in state money to seal the five most vulnerable vacant and dilapidated structures
and prevent further damage before they're redeveloped
“He feels he cannot afford the cash flow drain any longer,” said the memo from Hojnacki to board members
“Douglas stated that he wants to have a smooth transition and for it to happen as soon as possible.”
But he also acknowledged what the memo described as “relief and (memorandum of understanding) negotiations.”
But it doesn’t mean the world is coming to an end and the sky is falling,” Jemal said
Board members also sought to project optimism
“We’re working through some issues with him,” agreed Paul Ciminelli
vice chairman of the Richardson Center board of directors and CEO of Ciminelli Real Estate Corp
“We’re treating this as a good opportunity,” said architect Clinton Brown
“This is a tough thing that’s going to be very good for the Richardson and the community
because we get to reset our relationship in a different environment than when we started with the demise of the previous hotel.”
Jemal publicly expressed interest in the Richardson site for the first time in February 2021
one day after the announced closing of the Hotel Henry Urban Resort Conference Center
in three buildings centered around the site’s twin Medina sandstone towers
the first private investment on the 13-building campus that opened in 1880 as the Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane
Noted architect Henry Hobson Richardson designed the campus’ structures
while Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux laid out the grounds of the 100-acre property
It is now a National Historic Landmark owned by the nonprofit Richardson Center Corporation
just south of SUNY Buffalo State University
blamed its 2021 closing on the Covid-19 pandemic
Jemal said at the time that he wanted to add the hotel to his growing portfolio in the Buffalo area
which now also includes the Hyatt Regency Buffalo
the Mansion on Delaware and the Roycroft Inn in East Aurora
He assumed the hotel lease in January 2022
reopened quietly in March 2023 with a grand opening that September
He revealed plans in late 2022 to convert seven buildings west of the hotel into 250 apartments
while reserving three buildings east of the hotel to expand it to as many as 150 rooms
The apartments were slated to open by early 2024
with rent providing reliable income when hotel occupancy is lower
while the added rooms would help the hotel attract larger conferences and events
tough property,” said another board member who spoke on condition of anonymity
says he has no intention of abandoning a project he calls a “golden asset” for Buffalo − and no plans to make way for another operator
Jemal’s lease for the hotel requires him to pay rent and common area maintenance charges
along with government grants and private donations
The corporation lost nearly $200,000 in 2023
according to its most recent publicly available financial statement filed with the IRS
Jemal had requested an amendment to the lease allowing him to pay either the rent or the maintenance charges
Efforts to work out a new agreement appeared unsuccessful as of last week
but Jemal and Hojnacki insisted otherwise Wednesday
The threatened pullback represented a rare challenge for Jemal
an active and optimistic developer with a nine-year streak of aggressive buying and redevelopment efforts to revive Buffalo
He bought the vacant Seneca One tower out of foreclosure
He converted the former police headquarters into the Police Apartments
And he has plans for other properties that he has purchased
including the Boulevard Mall and a former state office building on Niagara Square
Jemal was still spending money to hold and maintain properties he already acquired
while paying principal and interest on prior loans
without extra cash coming in from new rents
And the federal cutbacks in Washington threatened to put other future revenues in jeopardy if he loses tenants
“I don’t find myself in any situation whatsoever,” he said
“The whole world is facing financial troubles in real estate.”
He said he continues to operate the hotel and “absolutely” expects to be doing so a year from now
and is not talking about any sort of transition “at the present time.”
“I’m looking to proceed with the Richardson as I’ve been proceeding with it,” Jemal said
“It’s an extremely important historic campus
and they want to help me as much as they can.”

Jenny Richardson Fore was elected as judge on the 21st Judicial District juvenile court bench Saturday night, according to complete but unofficial results.
Fore and Jessica C. Ledet initially advanced to a runoff to replace Blair Edwards, who was elected last year to the 1st Circuit Court of Appeal. The position covers Livingston, St. Helena and Tangipahoa parishes. Fore won with 63% of the vote with all precincts reporting.
Fore, from Livingston Parish, formerly clerked for Edwards in juvenile court and is an assistant public defender.
Ledet is from St. Helena Parish and is the prosecutor for the town of Independence in Tangipahoa Parish. She also represents parents in the 21st Judicial District court for children in need of care.
An X-acto knife is typically used for cutting materials like paper, plastic, fabric and thin metal, but on Thursday, April 24, Tulane University President Michael A. Fitts and other leaders used a giant version of the designer’s tool to cut a ribbon that ushered in the future of the newly named Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment.
The ribbon cutting took place under the oaks of Gibson Quad, just a few feet away from the renovated, reopened and reimagined Richardson Memorial Hall, home of the Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment.
“This is a moment many years in the making,” Fitts said before a standing-room-only crowd that included faculty, alumni, students, staff and donors. “It’s a milestone for the School of Architecture and Built Environment and for Tulane University.
“Richardson Memorial Hall is a place where history and innovation intersect, where research and practice thrive and — most importantly — where the next great architectural leaders will train.”
“This beautiful space will shape all those who teach and learn under its roof for generations to come,” he said. “And then, in turn, these Tulanians will go on to design buildings and spaces that literally shape the future of our world.”
Others participating in the ceremony included Iñaki Alday, dean of the Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment; Robin Forman, senior vice president for Academic Affairs and provost; Angela O’Byrne, chair of the Dean’s Advisory Council; and Analiese De Saw, president of the school’s Graduate Government.
One of the oldest buildings on Tulane’s uptown campus and home to the architecture school since 1968, the new Richardson Memorial Hall includes 17,000 square feet of additions to the back of the building along with studios, review spaces, classrooms, a gallery, offices and meeting rooms. It opened to students, faculty and staff on March 10, following a four-year renovation and expansion during which students worked out of portable buildings and faculty and staff at various off-campus buildings.
“We left four years ago with 280 students, and we have come back with more than 1,000 — including undergraduate majors and minors, and graduate students — with immense vibrancy,” Alday said.
“The renovated facility has exceptional studio spaces, where students and faculty spend dozens of hours each week working together; state-of-the-art fabrication labs to think with our hands; meeting spaces to collaborate; great classrooms with very refined technology and a variety of other working spaces.”
Trapolin-Peer Architects of New Orleans led the project, with Broadmoor Construction serving as the builders. One of the main objectives of the project was to blend historic preservation with modern sustainability practices.
The original home of the Tulane School of Medicine, Richardson Memorial was built in 1908 in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. With its brick and limestone façade, the five-story, 45,000-square-foot structure has undergone improvements over the years but nothing close to the transformative magnitude of the latest project.
“Richardson Memorial Hall is a place where history and innovation intersect, where research and practice thrive and — most importantly — where the next great architectural leaders will train,” Forman said. He described the building as a “living laboratory” where students can experiment, collaborate and bring their ideas to life.
The reopening in March coincided with the renaming of the school to the School of Architecture and Built Environment, reflecting its growing reputation as a leader in interdisciplinary design education, groundbreaking research and impact beyond the foundation of architecture.
Prior to the ribbon cutting, Fitts thanked the many donors who made spaces like the lobby, studio, fabrication lab, classrooms, review space, offices and a graduate student lounge possible. Guests were invited into Richardson Memorial for a reception and encouraged to walk the halls and peek into rooms to see the stunning transformation of the building up close. The event also included individual space dedications with donors.
“The length of the list (of donors) is a testament to the incredible community of the School of Architecture and Built Environment,” Fitts said. “Thanks to all of you for investing in knowledge. You have given our students and faculty a state-of-the-art new space for learning, creating and collaborating. And they, in turn, will discover new approaches to designing the world we all live in.”

CHAKRABARTI: Okay, I'm gonna start with something a little bit different today since you are in the studio here with me. I've got a little bit of a highlighted text here on my screen.
I'm gonna turn the screen towards you. Can you just read that sentence?
RICHARDSON: [READING] All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
CHAKRABARTI: So what's that? What is that?
RICHARDSON: That is the beginning of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified 1868.
CHAKRABARTI: I've been told it's your favorite amendment.
RICHARDSON: It is. Everybody has a favorite amendment that happens to be mine.
CHAKRABARTI: So this is the first sentence of the first section of the 14th Amendment which really means something significant. Is there any way, any possible way you think, to interpret that language other than, you're born here, you're a citizen here?
RICHARDSON: No. There really isn't. And I could tell you how people get around that by trying to create a different pathway around it. But in order really to understand what the primarily Republicans in Congress were doing in 1866 when they first began to explore the question of how do you decide who's a citizen in this new post-Civil War period, you really have to look at the Civil Rights Act of 1866.
And what's interesting about that is when they talked about the Civil Rights Act of 1866, I'm sorry, the Civil Rights Bill, because it doesn't become a law, they are very aware that it's not just Black Americans who have faced discriminatory legislation in Massachusetts, for example, the Irish did in California, indigenous Americans and Chinese immigrants and Mexican immigrants, all face discriminatory legislation.
So they write this 1866 bill in which they explicitly say all races, everybody who is here, becomes a citizen. And then Andrew Johnson, who succeeds Abraham Lincoln, vetoes that bill, and one of the reasons he vetoes it, and he talks about this, is that he says, you cannot, and I'm paraphrasing, you cannot mean that you intend to include Chinese people.
And he's very concerned about gypsies. That's something else he puts in there, that you can include all these people as citizens of the United States. Plus, if you really mean to do that, why do you have to add that to the Constitution? Because you are arguing that the Constitution already says it under, you know, this other thing we can talk about.
So when they write the 14th, they explicitly take that into consideration and say, yeah, they just are citizens under the Constitution. And yes, obviously that means everybody.
CHAKRABARTI: Okay. We're going to go into that deep history in detail with you, but the reason why I wanted to have you here with us today is that obviously, concurrently, there are, as you saying, several people in the Republican party, including the president of the United States who actually disagree with you.
DONALD TRUMP: We are the only country in the world that does this with birthright, and it's just absolutely ridiculous. But, we'll see. We think it, we have very good grounds. Certain people have wanted to do this for decades.
CHAKRABARTI: So this is ending birthright citizenship, and that is from President Trump's first day in office this time around, January 20th of this year, when one of the first things he did was sign an executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship.
Let me give a little bit more background to listeners here, professor, if I can. This obviously wasn't a surprise because he had been repeatedly saying during the 2024 campaign that he would sign such an order. Here's an example.
TRUMP: current policy is based on a historical myth and a willful misinterpretation of the law by the open borders advocates. There aren't that many of them around. It's amazing. Who wants this? Who wants to have prisoners coming into our country? Who wants to have people who are very sick coming into our country? People from mental institutions coming into our country? And come they will. They're coming by the thousands, by the tens of thousands.
As part of my plan to secure the border on day one of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order, making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law, going forward, the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship.
CHAKRABARTI: So we're playing these segments of President Trump speaking in their entirety or at least long chunks of it in order for people to hear fairly what he said.
And also, it's quite revealing to me how he clearly goes off script sometimes, and you can hear him jump back on script.
RICHARDSON: But that's actually really significant and one of the things that we don't obviously have to talk about this today.
He's not at full mental acuity, and this is a huge problem that we're not dealing with this because we're trying, as you say, to change the very foundations of what it means to be an American, according to the words of somebody who, just three nights ago, from when you and I are recording, he didn't know what the Declaration of Independence was, so this is somewhat, not even somewhat, this is problematic.
So let's say the business at hand, but I feel like that's this whole red, a factory of red flags that we are not adequately addressing in this country.
CHAKRABARTI: Exactly. And when a president of the United States calls something that is written in the constitution, a historical myth, we have to pause and focus on things like that.
Which is what we're gonna do here. But the other reason, and you wrote about this in your Substack, that I wanted to provide this context. Has to do with the actions that the Trump administration is currently taking, that are having an impact on not just U.S. citizens naturalized, but U.S. born citizens, right?
Because they have been removing some of them from the country, who again, under the 14th Amendment, have the right to due process. They're, first of all, birthright citizens, and they have the right to due process on U.S. soil. So here's a little news coverage this week from MSNBC on the deportation of two Honduran women.
And their U.S. born citizen children from Louisiana.
MSNBC NEWS: The Trump administration put three children, and the children are United States citizens, and that's an important point here on deportation flights with their mothers late last week, one of them is a 4-year-old boy with stage four cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors, the family lawyer said.
CHAKRABARTI: So when asked by reporters why the Trump administration is deporting U.S.-born citizens, here is what White House borders czar, Tom Homan said.
TOM HOMAN: I'd said from day one that if you enter this country legally, it's a crime. If you choose to have a U.S. citizen child knowing you're in this country legally, you put yourself in that position, you put your family in that position.
What we did is remove children with their mothers who requested the children to depart with them. They weren't deported. We don't import U.S. citizens. The parents made that decision, not the United States government.
CHAKRABARTI: Okay, so let's dig into that for a little bit here. The Trump administration, as you just heard, asserts that the women who were unauthorized immigrants, were given the choice to take their children with them and that they chose to do, in fact, here's Secretary of State Marco Rubio on NBC News.
MARCO RUBIO: Three U.S. citizens, ages four, seven, and two were not deported. Their mothers who were legally in this country were deported. The children went with their mothers; those children are U.S. citizens. They can come back into the United States if their father or someone here who wants to assume them. But ultimately, who was deported was their mother, who was their mothers who were here illegally. The children just went with their mothers.
CHAKRABARTI: So Secretary Rubio there mentioned the father, of these fathers, of these children is specifically one of them. Okay, so just a few days ago, Gracie Willis, who's an attorney representing one of those U.S. born children. Says that the Trump administration has been completely misleading on this. She told MSNBC's, José Díaz-Balart that DHS officers did not give the child's father the chance to stop that child from being removed from the country.
GRACIE WILLIS: There was a one-minute phone call. There was, it was a two-minute phone call. There was one minute of those two minutes where the father and mother were able to speak and they were asserting the child's U.S. citizenship on speaker phone with the ICE officer who was in the room with the mother. And the ICE officer said, oh yeah, we don't know if she's gonna be deported yet.
And as soon as the father started providing the phone number for an attorney, the ICE officer hung up the phone. That was the last time they spoke to each other until the mother landed in Honduras.
DIAZ-BALART: So the government says the mother wrote a letter asking that her child, U.S.-born child, go with her to Honduras.
WILLIS: The letter itself, ICE has been misrepresenting what's in this letter. The letter, as was just stated, says, my child will come with me. I will bring my child. It's not a statement of desire. It's not as a statement of what the mother hoped or wanted to happen, and in fact, what we now know is the mother was told, your child will be deported with you and was told to write this letter that said, my child will come with me.
She was never provided an opportunity to make a different choice.
CHAKRABARTI: Again, that's Gracie Willis on MSNBC. Professor Richardson, you wrote about this. And why did you feel like this was an important place to start, one of your more recent Letters to An American?
RICHARDSON: The question of who is a U.S. citizen is not just about the individuals involved.
It's a question of what we want for our country and how we treat the people in it. That is what the government considers is important for US citizens. So this moment is, I think, a struggle over the very nature of the United States, not simply over whether a 4-year-old with stage four cancer is going to have access to medicine, which itself is a headline, but what we consider the meaning of America.
And that's a really big question. And it's not new. We've been grappling with this really since at least 1790, when we had the first Naturalization Act deciding who could be welcome in America. And much of our domestic politics has always centered around who gets to be a member of American society and who doesn't.
And what the U.S. government is going to do to support those who we consider to be central to who we are and what it's going to do for those it does not consider central. And so I think in this moment, you're watching a political movement, trying to change the nature of America, in part by terrorizing both undocumented residents of the United States, but also the children, their children, so U.S. citizens.
And that's, we've not been here before and that's a really important moment.
CHAKRABARTI: We've not been here before, even though this has been a battle to expand the meaning of who belongs under the category of We, The People since 1790. As you said.
RICHARDSON: There's a really important distinction between who can become a naturalized citizen, who can come in and be and go through the process of naturalization.
And we put in the United States, there was a law in 1790, the first naturalization law that I'd love to get into more. Because it has some really important distinctions in it that are not going to hold. And it's one of the things that the 14th Amendment is going to try to address. But that's different than who is a citizen when they are born here.
And that's actually in the Constitution and they don't deal with it explicitly. Because in part, they're working so much from the common law that they're taking from England that does talk about a natural born citizen, but also in part, because you gotta remember in the period in which they're writing the constitution, there's lots of different people moving around and coming and going and who belongs to whom And we've only got originally the 13 colonies and so on and so forth.
CHAKRABARTI: Professor Richardson, one of the reasons why I enjoy talking to you so much is we can very clearly connect things that are happening in this moment, literally second by second, to America's long and complex history. And I wanted to ask you something about what we heard Secretary Rubio say a little bit earlier.
Because he says, he asserts, yes, these, the children who have been removed from the country who are U.S. born citizens, he doesn't question their citizenship. He doesn't also question the fact that they were removed from the country, but he says, Hey, since they're U.S. citizens, they can come back.
RICHARDSON: So I said before, there's a distinction between people who can be naturalized. And people who are natural born citizens, that are born either in this country or under certain conditions elsewhere. And this is something that Americans dealt with immediately after the Civil War. Because again, there's a lot of people coming and going in this period.
And as early as 1889, the U.S. government recognized that once somebody had become, was born here and was a citizen here, that the government, that is the country, had an interest in making sure that citizen had the best opportunities and was well protected. So there's actually a case in 1889 where a woman and her husband have come from Scotland with a child who was born in Scotland, but they have a baby here who is a natural born citizen.
And they leave and go back to Scotland. And then the man abandons the woman and she tries, she thinks he's in America. So she comes back, and she comes back at a time after 1882 when we don't only get the Chinese Exclusion Act. We also get a different act about three months later that governs the people who come in through New York.
And that says, if you're a pauper, you can't come to America. And just as a sideline here, I wanna be clear, this is not my research. This is a fabulous immigration historian out of University of California, Berkeley named Hidetaka Hirota, who writes about this. And she comes back to America to try and find her errant husband and they stop her in New York, and they say, you can't come in because you're destitute.
But then the guy realizes that there's a U.S. citizen there. And so he writes to his superiors with the timer and the treasury department. That's what oversees. Immigration in that period. And he says, what am I gonna do? And the people at the Treasury department look at this and they say, our interest is in making sure that American citizens are well cared for, that are as healthy as they can be.
So the mother and her other child who are, not otherwise eligible to come into the United States, should come in with that small child, so that the small child, the citizen, is surrounded by the loving parent. And that's not the only time that happens, it happens again a few years later.
So there's, like I say, this is about defining America. If you have U.S. citizens in this period, in the late 19th century. You want, the government wants them to be well cared for, to grow up to be good American citizens. It's one of the impulses of the progressive era. We are doing the opposite now, saying, we don't care if you're a U.S. citizen.
We're gonna toss you out. We're gonna break up your family. We're gonna send you to a place where we're not sure how you're gonna be treated. Because we in the United States of America don't really care about citizenship. We care about a certain kind of belonging to a certain kind of idea of America.
CHAKRABARTI: This is so interesting. We can only speculate, given what you said, and that historical precedent, we can only speculate what would happen or what will happen if U.S. based family members of those children do want to bring them back. In an ideal circumstance, they would be allowed back. But as you said, this is really a question of defining America and I think the Trump administration has been quite clear on what definition they think America is.
So we would have to see if those kids would actually be allowed back easily as the Secretary of State asserts.
RICHARDSON: Well, but without their mothers.
RICHARDSON: What you gonna do? You're gonna take a three-year-old or this other one-year-old U.S. citizen whose mother was sent back to her country of origin.
You've traumatized an American citizen. And that's gonna matter as that child grows up,
CHAKRABARTI: I guess that's the point. Sorry, I missed the original point of the story about the Irish woman that she was not allowed in, but was eventually allowed in because of her U.S. citizen child.
RICHARDSON: Because the child, the U.S. government believed it needed to protect the wellbeing of a U.S. citizen. And if that meant bringing in the mother, so be it.
CHAKRABARTI: Okay, so let's go back then, because it's interesting when we talk about the Constitution, there's an automatic sort of unconscious response thinking what the framers of the Constitution wanted.
But the 14th Amendment came well after the original framing of the Constitution. Just, again, you said this at the top of the show, but I want to be clear, I understand it correctly, that why was the need for the specific language of U.S. born people are automatically given citizenship.
RICHARDSON: So the 14th comes from a very different place than the original Constitution, and yet it's worth reminding people that it is as much a part of the Constitution as the original part, which is something sometimes originalists don't pay a lot of attention to.
The 14th Amendment comes out of the fact that the state laws in the American South after the Civil War continued to discriminate against Black Americans and they had tried some ways to address that the Republican Congress had tried some ways to address that, and they had not been successful.
So they write the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. And one of the things that they have to do is to overturn the Dred Scott decision of 1857. And the Dred Scott decision, which is the Supreme Court decision of that year, said that Black Americans could not be citizens. And so they had to figure out how to address that, so that Black Americans in the American South would in fact be considered citizens.
And so they started, as I say, in the civil rights bill of '66, to say, all races, whatever.
CHAKRABARTI: Let's talk about, can we just talk about Dred Scott for a second?
CHAKRABARTI: Because you know it so well that you just speed through it, but it is one of the most consequential, I'd say, Supreme Court decisions in this country's history.
And 1857. So pre-Civil War. Can you tell us a story about Dred Scott and why that case ended up the way that it did?
RICHARDSON: Dred Scott was an attempt of the Supreme Court to decide the conflict between the Northern Free Labor states and the southern states that supported human enslavement by creating a new standard.
And that idea, I think, is important here. Because it's not just about Dred Scott's citizenship, and there were many ways that they could have answered that question that did not create the ruckus that it did. But this was an attempt of the elite enslavers to take over the U.S. government. And again, it was not just a question of Dred Scott and his family, which is quite an interesting history.
It was a question of what was America going to become? Were people going to have rights or were they not going to have rights? And this is one of the things that spurs the fledgling Republican party, not just the rights of Black Americans, but also as I say, the Irish and the Chinese.
CHAKRABARTI: What was the consequence or outcome of the Dred Scott Case?
RICHARDSON: It completely destroyed faith in the U.S. Supreme Court, at least for close to a generation, because it was pretty clearly a political decision. And we now know that James Buchanan, who was about, the decision comes down about a week after he's inaugurated. Which is why it's 57 and not 56.
Many people make the mistake of thinking it's 56, it's actually 57, that he was in on it and that this was political. It was not at all an attempt to preserve the ideas of the Constitution, where in fact, you can see in the 14th, the way they write that 14th, most Americans thought that, at least the ones who were not in part of the slave power, thought that the Constitution itself guaranteed birthright citizenship. Because it's a funny place.
It's in the section under who can become a President, and they talk about a natural born citizen in that. And as I say, they pick that up in the 14th and say, yeah, we're going to put into law, into Constitution that if you're born here, we don't care where you come from or anything else if you're born here.
You're a U.S. citizen, and that's different, as I say, from who can come in from outside.
And that's a distinction that actually is not gonna matter quite a bit.
CHAKRABARTI: You quoted a part of the Dred Scott decision in your newsletter, and I just wanna read it because it is so jarring.
The Supreme Court ruled that people of African descent, quote, and this is from the decision: "Are not included, and were not intended to be included under the word citizens in the Constitution and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States."
RICHARDSON: Yeah, that's Roger Taney the Chief Justice at the time. Again, which is, I'm not a lawyer, I'm a historian, but, if that were the case, we would not have needed the Naturalization Act of 1790, which does in fact make a distinction between, distinguished between the immigrants coming into the United States and explicitly says that you must be free and white.
CHAKRABARTI: Okay. So getting back to the specific language of the 14th Amendment, I had you read the --
CHAKRABARTI: It is the one that I think most people just generally recognize as equal protection under the law, which is a found, I will say, foundational.
Even though it came a century after the founding of the country, it's a foundational concept of, as you said, what it means to be American and what this country stands for, but the Trump administration and its supporters are quibbling over a clause in that first sentence. Okay, so here's the sentence again.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, born or naturalized in the United States, and here's the clause, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States. So with that subject to the jurisdiction thereof in mind, just listen to this for a second.
Professor Richardson, this is Charles J. Cooper, chairman and founding partner of Cooper & Kirk the law firm. And he testified at the House Judiciary Committee in February, on February 25th, that President Trump's interpretation of birthright citizenship is correct, that essentially Trump doesn't believe there's any such thing. And the reason rests on those words.
Subject to the jurisdiction thereof. So here's Cooper.
COOPER: Why did its framers choose such a strange way to say that? Why didn't they just say subject to the laws of the United States? Doing so would've been quite natural given that this straightforward, unambiguous phrase is used in both Article III and Article VI.
The clause also ensures that birthright citizenship makes newborns citizens of both the United States. And of the states wherein they reside, that is where they live, their home. This word standing alone implies a lawful permanent residence, and it plainly excludes tourists and other lawful visitors, as well as illegal aliens who are prohibited by law from residing in a state.
CHAKRABARTI: Okay, that is so fascinating. I understand you're not a lawyer, but you hear what he's doing there, that if you are not a resident of a state. If you're, let's say, if you are a legal tourist coming in from Saudi Arabia, let's say, this happens, and doing birth tourism and coming, this happens.
We're based in Boston. This happens here in Boston. Coming in, staying for six months, having your child flying back with a private nurse to Saudi Arabia, therefore, you're not really a resident here, so your child shouldn't be a citizen. How do you, what do you think about that?
RICHARDSON: So remember when the framers wrote the constitution, nobody was engaging in any kind of, let's hop around the world in a jet.
So it's a little hard. You certainly could stop that sort of travel if you wanted to now, because you're operating on a very different kind of issue of transportation and technology, but that's to me a side issue. Let's start with under the jurisdiction thereof. And why did they say that?
Or do we want to say that we are a country based, essentially, in white supremacy?
CHAKRABARTI: It's interesting because attorney Charles Cooper, who we just heard also pointed to, another case which you wrote about, as well. This is the case of Wong Kim Ark.
CHAKRABARTI: Okay. So this is how Cooper described his belief of the importance of the Wong Kim Ark case, which was late 19th century again.
COOPER: The Supreme Court's 1898 decision in Wong Kim Ark. Had nothing to do with the children of illegal aliens or aliens lawfully but temporarily admitted to the country. The court carefully framed the issue before it twice in verbatim terms as involving, quote, A child born in the United States of parents of Chinese descent who have a permanent domicile and resident in the United States.
CHAKRABARTI: So Professor Wong Kim Ark was born in, as you note, 1873 in the United States. He was the child of Chinese parents. Tell us about this case.
RICHARDSON: Who could not become citizens at the time.
RICHARDSON: That's right. Yeah, that's right.
And the, again, this is one of the things that's very frustrating in this moment in American history is that we don't get the concept of an undocumented or a person here illegally until really quite late in the 20th century.
We get this, people come and go. And there are certainly requirements for being able to come into the United States after 1882, either racial components through the Chinese Exclusion Act, or as I say, you have to have enough money that you can support yourself by a later law of 1882.
But the militarization of our border is really quite late. And that idea that somehow in 1898 when the Supreme Court decided Wong Kim Ark, that they had made a distinction between people here legally and people here illegally is just completely ahistorical, it wasn't a thing.
That you could make a distinction at that point, because nobody saw that as being part of what it meant to be an American.
CHAKRABARTI: Professor Richardson, I just do want to dig in a little bit more into the case of Wong Kim Ark, because as you note in your letters, he's a U.S. born citizen around what, late, mid, early to mid 1870s.
CHAKRABARTI: Of Chinese parents. He actually did return to China in 1889 when his parents went back.
That's right. They repatriate. The whole family goes back. He marries and then he comes back to the U.S. and does not have a problem. Then he goes back to see his newborn son and to see his wife again. And when he tries to come back in, then they stop him and say, you are not a citizen. And he says, yes, I am.
And there've been a number of cases, by the way, he wasn't the only one who sued over this, but he's the case that goes to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court looks at the case in this moment, which I have to add, is a moment of extraordinary hysteria against Chinese immigrants to the United States.
And they say that, listen, even if you don't like Chinese immigrants at this point, you cannot overrule the Constitution, which says he is a citizen. So Wong Kim Ark became that gold standard of this is, we are going to embrace birthright citizenship going forward. And that stood ever since.
Again, very different than who can come in from another country. But who is here?
RICHARDSON: Which is interesting because as I say, this is a period when you have a real push among some people in the American West to get rid of the 14th Amendment because they don't like the idea of Chinese immigrants being treated equally to white Americans in the West.
They don't care very much about Black Americans in the West in this period, but they're tied in knots over Asians. And this is not just about Black citizenship. It's also about citizenship for anybody coming in.
CHAKRABARTI: Do you know what's interesting to me? How you mentioned when we were talking about the current objections to under the jurisdiction thereof in the 14th Amendment, we heard Charles Cooper a little bit, in the Wong Kim Ark decision. 1898.
Again, there's another section in which the majority decision takes this on, like just square on. When he says, the real object of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution in the qualifying words of all persons born in the United States subject to the jurisdiction thereof would appear to have been to exclude.
That's what he's saying. It looks like it does, but it does not, in fact, it says it has already been shown by the law of England and by our own law. From the time of the first settlement of the English colonies in America, there have been recognized exemptions, exceptions to the fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within this country.
But then he says those principles, those exceptions rest were long ago distinctly stated by this court. And he's saying only diplomatic exemptions actually. No others. And sorry. I like, I hashed my way through that, but this seems to have been resolved by the courts 130 years ago.
RICHARDSON: It was, but let's think about, let's take it from the other direction. And that's that why are we talking about this again, the way we are? And it's worth remembering that Trump's MAGA Republicans are a political project. Not thinking this sort of about the principles of citizenship, which are important.
That's really, thinking about what it means to be an American and what the government should do for Americans and that Americans should do for the government and so on. Those are vital questions at every moment, but in this moment, we've had the rise in the United States of this radical right movement, and much of its power has come from fear of the other, from fear of the immigrants coming in.
And this is, of course, a pattern that Viktor Orbán used in Hungary to seize power and to destroy democracy there. But in the United States, especially after COVID, we did have an extraordinary swell of people coming from over the southern border, in part because the United States economy was the strongest in the world.
And they continue to be fuel for that political movement because anti-immigrant sentiment has always been present in the United States. And it's just something that in this moment, this particular president is really doubling down on in order to solidify his base at a time when you know his numbers are actually not terribly strong.
And one of the big things he had going for him was that when he talked about being harsh against immigrants, that really goosed his base. It's actually not doing that any longer, but he's still doubling down on it. Because it's not clear he is going to be able to regain any ground on the economy, and he's underwater on every single other issue.
CHAKRABARTI: I hope you don't mind me asking a question that removes us from the realm of history and just more your view on no, this is what you write about, the uniqueness of the American project. Because I think one thing that the Trump administration and Trump supporters and himself and he himself points to is that this idea of birthright citizenship is actually not the norm globally.
That you could probably, and correct me if I'm wrong, probably point to more places where you can be born in a country, but you still have to go through a long process in order to be a citizen thereof. And so therefore, they're saying we should have that here too, so that we have the quote-unquote right kinds of citizens.
RICHARDSON: One of the things that frustrates me so in this moment is the people who claim to be defending America are destroying it. And destroying its uniqueness and its greatness. I will say that. America has always been different, and I'm not to say, I'm not saying that we have never made mistakes.
Of course we have, sometimes, more often than not, but we were a country where you could come from anywhere and become an American. And somebody made the point recently that I think it's 46% of the people who are running the Fortune 500 companies I think it is, are either immigrants or children of immigrants, but they're American.
CHAKRABARTI: And the way this trying to reshape the idea of what America is, the way it's playing out in the lives of individual Americans, it is disturbing and weird. We talked about the children and the U.S. born children who had been deported along with their mothers.
I was just reading that this week, for example, Adam Peña, he's a California attorney. And a U.S. born citizen. He's an immigration attorney. His family has been here for more than a century. They're as American as you can get. He received a letter from DHS to self deport. And he's like, where would I self deport to?
We have been living here for a hundred years, we are Americans. And he told a San Diego news station that he thinks that this is an intimidation tactic, because he's an immigration lawyer and some other of his fellow immigration lawyers have received similar letters.
But nevertheless, it is an intimidation tactic, an intimidation against the core idea of one's Americanness. And so to that point, actually, there's been some attempted action on Capitol Hill this week. Democratic representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington. Went so far as to introduce, she's a Democrat.
Introduce an amendment to ensure that taxpayer dollars cannot be used by ICE to detain or deport U.S. citizens. And here's what she said on the house floor just two days ago.
JAYAPAL: ICE has zero authority to even detain U.S. citizens as ICE's own policy states. Quote, as a matter of law, ICE cannot assert its civil immigration enforcement authority to arrest and or detain a U.S. citizen.
CHAKRABARTI Okay. So that's her proposed amendment, and here is a follow-up comment from Democratic representative Ted Lieu of California.
LIEU: The fact that Democrats and my colleague, Representative Pramila feel the need to even introduce an amendment that says ICE cannot deport U.S. citizens is [expletive] crazy. This should not even be a discussion. It is not even a question. U.S. citizens cannot be deported by ICE. It's the law. It's the constitution. I will be astounded if Republicans vote no on this.
CHAKRABARTI: Okay, so let's listen to the roll call for how the vote went.
CHAKRABARTI: So representative Jayapal's amendment that ICE cannot deport U.S. citizens using taxpayer dollars was voted down by Republican members of the House.
RICHARDSON: There's even something more, I think, of concern to American citizens right now, and that's what happened in Oklahoma City a couple of weeks ago. When ICE agents and people who claim they were ICE agents and U.S. Marshals and members of the FBI, although the Marshals and the FBI have said, they were not involved, although they knew it was going to happen.
Went, broke into a house and trashed the house and took the cell phones, the laptops, and all the money that was there, which was the family's life savings because they had a search warrant to go into that house to look for undocumented immigrants. But in fact, the people that they were looking for had moved out of the house.
And the people who were there were U.S. citizens who had just recently arrived from Maryland. And they sent the kids out, the teenage daughters outside in their underwear in the rain with their mother while they did this to the house. And the mother kept saying, we're U.S. citizens. We're U.S. citizens.
And then left them with, again, no way to contact anybody, had no money and no card to know where they could get those things back. Now that idea that we can go after U.S. citizens with our immigration and customs enforcement, law enforcement officers, to look for undocumented immigrants, that puts every single American citizen at risk.
And as you say, I think that's an intimidation factor. But I think it's also this idea that unless you are on the side of a particular political party, so that you're not going to be intimidated, that you're going to be pushed outside of the people who get to have rights in the United States. And that's a much bigger, as I say, political project that would redefine America.
CHAKRABARTI: Okay. 1866. 1872. 1898. Over and over again, every time this question of, if you are born in the United States, are you or are you not a citizen? This country has basically unanimously fallen on the side of, yes. You are a citizen. You do have that birthright. And what's fascinating to me, you also wrote a book about the Republican Party pre- and post-Civil War, that was all championed by the Republican Party in the 19th century. And that party is not existent anymore.
CHAKRABARTI: It's the party of Donald Trump. And I wanna just in this last few minutes, and I want to hear what you have to say about this by stealing an idea from your letter on birthright citizenship, because it's not even the party of Ronald Reagan anymore.
You pointed out that in Reagan's last speech, January 19th, 1989, his last speech as president. He actually thought about what makes America so great, and he did so by recalling a letter he had recently received.
REAGAN: You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk or Japanese.
But anyone from any corner of the Earth can come to live in America and become an American.
CHAKRABARTI: Professor Richardson, I'm gonna give you the last word on here, but let's listen to a little bit more about why Reagan wanted to point this out.
REAGAN: We lead the world because unique among nations, we draw our people, our strength, from every country and every corner of the world.
And by doing so, we continuously renew and enrich our nation, while other countries cling to the stale past, here in America, we breathe life into dreams, we create the future, and the world follows us into tomorrow. Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we're a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier.
This quality is vital to our future as a nation. If we ever close the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.
CHAKRABARTI: Ronald Reagan on January 19th, 1989.
RICHARDSON: And it's an important piece there because he was actually saying that at a ceremony to honor George Shultz and the other person to whom he was giving the medal of freedom.
So he goes off script. Obviously, it's written, but he goes off script to insert into that speech honoring them. This piece that is clearly his final word. He even says, this is the last speech I'm going to give, and this is what I want to say. That, I think, is significant because he recognized the importance of how we define America and in order to keep it alive and vital and growing.
And as I say, you know, this place where anybody can come and be an American, which has always been what made America great was so important to him that he needed to say it one last time in that particular moment.

This year’s theme, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ celebrates the art and history of Black dandyism — a movement grounded in resistance, identity, and self-expression through fashion. The dress code is ‘Tailored for You.’
Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity (2009), the theme explores how tailoring and style have empowered Black communities over the centuries.

2025 from his home with his loving family by his side.Denzel was a born again Christian and was a member of the Ramsey Freewill Baptist Church
He loved attending church and the fellowship with his church family
Denzel honorably served his country in the United States Navy during WWII aboard the Providence Cruiser and again in the United States Army during the Korean War in the 48th MASH Unit
He walked countless times from Toms Creek to Pardee
for the opportunity to spend time together
This was something he continued during his time in the service
He would port on a Friday evening and have to be back by Monday morning
After his military service Denzel worked many jobs
then went to work for Appalachian Construction as an equipment operator building roads in southwest Virginia
He then went to work for Paramont Coal as an equipment operator where he was known as “Hard Rock” and stayed until his retirement
He believed in working to support his family
Denzel enjoyed playing the guitar and other musical instruments
He enjoyed working on automobiles and repairing things he thought someone else could use
a piece of furniture or anything else he could fix
But his greatest joy came from the time he spent with his family
Denzel was preceded in death by his loving wife of 52 years

CBS Sports' Adam Finkelstein has Richardson just outside of lottery territory in his latest mock draft
projecting the Spartan product to go to the Orlando Magic at pick No
"Richardson is a southpaw combo-guard who combined efficiency with versatility this year," Finkelstein wrote
"He played both on and off the ball and proved he was a shot-maker at multiple levels
not to mention a sneaky good finisher for someone still building up his body
"He's not expected to measure in at the 6-foot-3 that Michigan State listed him at
but could still solidify Orlando's backcourt depth and perimeter spacing."
The Magic were recently bested in five games by the NBA's defending champions
It was the second straight year Orlando had been bounced from the opening round
if Richardson were to be selected by Orlando
who donned the green and white well before Richardson's time
Harris himself shined as a freshman at Michigan State
ultimately being named the Big Ten Rookie of the Year and Big Ten All-Freshman honoree
He chose to stay another year at Michigan State and would turn in one of the best seasons in the program's recent history
being named to the Wooden Award National Ballot
an All-Big Ten First Team honoree and a Big Ten All-Defense selection
Harris was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the 2014 NBA Draft before being traded to the Denver Nuggets
Harris would be traded to the Magic in March of 2021 and has been in Orlando for four-plus seasons
His numbers have steadily dropped in recent years
and his time in the NBA could be nearing an end
The first round of the 2025 NBA Draft is set for June 25

there are still things college athletics fans can look forward to
The Spartans are set to see a few players be taken in the NBA Draft this year
but Jace Richardson is set to have a big year in the draft
As the school year begins to wind down and college sports become more and more scarce
As the son of former NBA star Jason Richardson
who spent 15 years in the league with five different teams
Jase Richardson is looking to follow in his father's footsteps and the big leagues
Richardson is a projected first-round selection
and with the draft getting closer and closer on June 25
After spending just one season at Michigan State
Richardson feels he is ready to test the waters of the NBA
shooting 49.3% from he floor and 41.2% from three-point range
With the draft getting closer, more and more mock drafts are coming out, and Richardson is finding himself moving up the draft boards. CBS Sports has released its latest mock draft
and it has Richardson landing in an intriguing spot with the Atlanta Hawks being taken with the No
8 prospect in the NBA Draft and the third-ranked guard
The Denver native has a keen ability to get to the bucket or simply get himself open for a good percentage shot
The pairing of Richardson with Hawks' stars Trae Young and Dyson Daniels is what makes this pick so intriguing
Richardson has the ability to withdraw from the NBA Draft process by the June 15 deadline
If Richardson decides he wants to return to the college ranks and get a little more experience at the collegiate level
he can return to the Spartans for another season
Richardson was crucial to Michigan State's success this past season
helping lead them to an Elite Eight appearance in just one season
The 6-foot-3 guard was an unlikely candidate to take over a starting spot on a very competitive Michigan State squad
but his talent showed out every time he took the court
Richardson would still have a lot to learn
some teams are very high on the young star and believe he has a bright career ahead

Only one Spartan is heading to the NBA Combine this year
The official NBA Combine invitation list was revealed on Friday
and only one Spartan was included: Jase Richardson
This means Michigan State guard Jaden Akins will not be in attendance after a solid career with the Spartans
Richardson starred for the Spartans in his lone season at Michigan State as a true freshman
He entered the starting lineup in the back half of the season and quickly became Michigan State's top scoring threat
He finished the season averaging 12.1 points per game and is considered a fringe lottery pick in this year's NBA Draft
Akins also had a solid final year at Michigan State
where he led the Spartans in scoring with 12.8 points per game
He averaged 11.1 points per game across his final three seasons at Michigan State
with this past year being his highest scoring average
is unlikely to get drafted and could have used the NBA Combine to help raise his draft stock
He will at a minimum get a look during NBA Summer League should he go undrafted
The NBA Combine will take place from May 11 - 18 in Chicago
The NBA Draft will be held on June 25 and 26

Richardson ISD staff reviewed a plan to increase teacher pay at the May 1 board meeting
it hasn't panned out even close to that
Here's the beginning of Dubin's argument
"The Colts brought in "competition" for Richardson in the form of Daniel Jones
but we're going to treat him as the starter here nonetheless
by letting both Will Fries and Ryan Kelly leave in free agency
you can argue they allowed the supporting case to atrophy a big despite drafting Tyler Warren in the first round."
Jones has struggled to find his footing in the NFL
he's been sacked constantly (not entirely his fault)
Indianapolis might be the best team he's ever played with
As for allowing former center Ryan Kelly and Will Fries to depart in free agency
Kelly was allowed to walk due to mounting injuries and being 31 years old
$87,720,000 contract with the Minnesota Vikings
Richardson now has Tanor Bortolini at center and likely Matt Goncalves at right guard
two young talents who showed promise last year
Dubin concluded with this analysis of a few Indy draft selections
"They also got a developmental tackle in Jalen Travis and a complementary running back in DJ Giddens and a
The first-round pick makes it seem like the Colts gave Richardson a bunch of help here
but the rest of their activity belies that
Dubin mentions that all of the Colts' picks, minus round one selection Tyler Warren
but these picks can possibly prove Dubin wrong and help Richardson
Richardson might be in for another tough season
as is more receiving weapons and additional skill sets in the backfield
These factors must come together to help Richardson in the biggest way
This is likely the last chance for Richardson to prove himself
so he'll need to answer the pressure to retain the starting job at quarterback

The Indianapolis Colts will have several training camp battles this year. Anthony Richardson vs. Daniel Jones will be the biggest competition
Which player will win the starting quarterback job
John Breech of CBS Sports wrote an article predicting the starter for the teams with the worst quarterback situations
Richardson is the most talented and tenured guy in the Colts’ quarterback room
But just because he’s been in Indy longer and has the most talent doesn’t mean he’s guaranteed to win the job
During his year-end press conference, Colts general manager Chris Ballard said the team would add competition for Anthony Richardson. And that’s exactly what happened when Jones was signed this offseason
Jones was taken by the New York Giants sixth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. When you’re drafted that high, you’re expected to be a superstar quarterback. Yet, that has never materialized for Jones. The former Duke star hasn’t made a Pro Bowl in any of his six seasons. Last year, he was benched by the Giants and eventually released. He signed with the Minnesota Vikings
although he didn’t play a game with the team
Jones, though, did have a great 2022 season in New York. That year, he threw for 3,205 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also rushed for a career-high 708 yards and seven scores. In addition, Jones helped the Giants pick up a playoff win over the Vikings
His performance that season got him a $160 million contract extension
Jones has what it takes to beat out Anthony Richardson and win the Colts’ starting job
he could rejuvenate his career in Indianapolis
a change of scenery can help a player dramatically
While Jones had an outstanding 2022 season
They finished with a lousy 4-12-1 record that year
In desperate need of a franchise quarterback
Indianapolis drafted Anthony Richardson fourth overall in 2023
Unfortunately, the former Florida Gator has not yet become a franchise QB. Richardson’s career has consisted of multiple injuries and accuracy issues. Like Jones, Richardson was benched in 2024
He engineered a 19-play drive that ended with a touchdown to Alec Pierce and then a two-point conversion
Perhaps competing with Jones will give him the motivation to take a huge leap in 2025

An art teacher at Savannah Christian Preparatory for the past 13 years
Dana Richardson (b.1980) has always had a landscape painting practice
Recently it has exploded in scale and in creativity
We met in her three-car garage-turned studio behind her Victory Heights home to discuss this fresh
invigorating and exciting time in her artistic journey
attaining a BFA in Painting in 2005 and later adding a MAT to teach students in Kindergarten through 12th grade
Richardson is halfway through a master’s program in visual arts at the Maryland Institute College of Art
a course of study that works perfectly with her teaching schedule as it entails a six-week session on campus for four summers
“I had wanted to do a master’s for years but could never figure out the money
The low-residency requirement at MICA combined with financial help from my school has let me keep my day job.”
The creative freedom extended to her through the program has pushed her to reengage with performance and video
A New Lens: Savannah's ARTS Southeast partners with Do Good Fund for Southern photography exhibition
How Punny!: Upcoming Location Gallery exhibit has makings of a children's book that adults will enjoy
It was a sell-out exhibition for the young schoolteacher and based on that success
Richardson joined the sadly missed cooperative Kobo Gallery where Stone was already a member
Richardson learned how to be a successful professional artist during her six years at Kobo but elected to leave the pressure of a sales-driven art practice during the pandemic
“Now I’m focused on the exploration of the new work and am trying to do the opposite approach
My old work entailed lots of preparation and was very analytical
but now I want to tap into the subconscious by making marks and see what comes out.”
which runs through May 3 and can be seen at the R.O.B
Storm and Stress is a layered and complex landscape painting that has
“It deals with the individual going out into the sublime and having their own experience of God
she says the impetus for the work was anxiety and fatigue
“When I go to sleep I’m often telling myself stories to make myself calm down from overthinking and decision-fatigue
There are specific landscapes that I have built my whole life
That’s what I’m searching for in the marks
That feeling.” She closes her eyes as she tells me
“It’s a world that I access from an aerial spot – I imagine flying into it
I was thinking about leaving anxiety and going down to approach the portal into this calm place.”
having created a mural at the top of its imposing staircase right before the pandemic
was at the old Starland Dairy on Bull Street as part of a project initiated by the indefatigable Clinton Edminster
and in the past few months she has painted another in the new Emma James apartment complex overlooking Savannah Harbor
The Boxed In/Break Out installation will be on view in the Barnard Street-facing windows of the Jepson and is entitled Heroes and Hosts
Richardson clearly identifies as a landscape painter though admits the genre often “gets a bad rap as being simple and pretty; something to hang over the couch.” She is drawn to creating on canvases that roll up – whether the huge canvas being shown at ArtFields
or a 20-foot-long scroll of green forests stored in an old brandy bottle box
We look at a stunning large-scale painting of the Elysian fields of Greek mythology - lush and verdant grasses where the hero can rest after death
Unrolling a small scroll painting inspired by the Epic of Gilgamesh
and her interest in Jungian symbols and the writings of Joseph Campbell
“I want my life and my painting to feel significant
I’ve been using the word ‘re-enchantment’ a lot lately
It comes from the philosopher Charles Taylor
It’s about restoring the wonder and magic that’s been lost through science and secularism
I benefit from observing the landscape and letting its complexity show up; it makes my life richer.” Using her internal memory
sharpened by years of plein air sessions and fueled by the rich experience of solitude and inspiration of annual visits to Ossabaw
Richardson never uses photographs as reference material
I often put on headphones and listen to binaural beats so that my mind will go blank and almost go into a trance state

Robinson would be taking over the role of Ted Richardson from Maurice Johnson on Beyond the Gates since news of his casting broke
Robinson was asked when he would start airing and he simply replied
Robinson will be thrown straight into the deep end with his character's storyline as Dr
Richardson finds himself in quite a predicament with wife Nicole (Daphne Duplaix)
currently blissfully unaware that he not only had an affair with Leslie “Dana” Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) and paid her off
Thomas is currently enacting a plan to blow up the Richardsons' picture-perfect life and using a woman she claims to be her and Ted’s daughter
this news marks the first time a role has been recast
since the ground-breaking soap opera premiered on CBS this past February.
Due to the filming schedule of Beyond The Gates, fans can plan to enjoy Maurice Johnson’s portrayal for a few more weeks. The actor continued to jokingly tease on social media that fans will have to stay tuned to see if his on-screen persona will shed his trademark turtleneck sweater and go shirtless before he exits the role.
Johnson’s credits include: Single ladies, Hawaii Five-0, The Vampire Diaries, Chicago Fire, and God's Not Dead: In God We Trust
Robinson made his acting debut as the green power ranger Joel Rawlings in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, with additional credits including titles such as: Over There, Canterbury's Law, Saints and Sinners, A Million Little Things, and Dreamgirls.
Beyond The Gates, developed and produced by CBS Studios / NAACP venture in partnership with P&G Studios, a division of Procter and Gamble, is the ground-breaking first hour long black soap opera to premiere in daytime. The creation is the brainchild of award-winning showrunner Michele Val Jean and Sheila Ducksworth, and the first new soap opera to premiere since NBC debuted Passions back in 1999.

former Michigan State guard Jase Richardson is likely to be a lottery pick in this year's NBA Draft
is expected to have its own representative in the first round
who also spent one year in the mitten but needed three years to make his case
In a rather surprising move, CBS Sports' Kyle Boone has Wolf going ahead of the young Richardson in his latest mock draft
Boone has the former Wolverine being selected by the Chicago Bulls at No
"It's been seven years since Chicago invested first-round capital into a center," Boone wrote
"Wolf may have the talent worthy of changing that trend given his unique guard-like skills as a 7-footer
rated out well defensively and has the offensive skills to match nicely next to Matas Buzelis
Coby White and Chicago's core group."
Boone has Richardson going just after Wolf at pick No
"The son of former NBA star Jason Richardson blossomed this season into an unlikely one-and-done talent after taking over a starting spot on a top-10 Michigan State team and elevating it to a run to the Elite Eight," Boone wrote
"Richardson is a smooth bucket-getter who could be a nice complement to the contrasting styles of Trae Young and Dyson Daniels."
but Richardson didn't truly became the Jase Richardson we came to know until the Oregon game in February when he dropped a career-high 29 points
he never looked back and transformed into the Spartans' best player down the stretch and the go-to scorer they had been searching for
Had his success been found from the get-go
he surely would have been a second-team honoree

This comes after a viral video of a family complaining about the conditions of their loved one’s body while showing the conditions of the funeral home
The incident also included a funeral home worker assaulting someone
sending them to the hospital with a stab wound
The commission confirms that Richardson Mortuary was given five specific mandates to complete
the representatives of Richardson Mortuary
which may have prevented him from fully complying with the deadline
The Texas Funeral Service Commission says between April 11 and April 14
just days before the cease-and-desist order
the mortuary transferred bodies to other facilities
The state has launched an investigation into the facility
which is now effectively closed after the landlord locked the business out
TFSC is reviewing partial service records and will collect the remaining documents in person

THE COLONY — Guyer got its bats rolling early and never looked back Thursday on the way to a 17-1 playoff win over Richardson Pearce
The Lady Wildcats scored three runs in the top of the first inning and extended their lead in each of the four following frames to finish off the 6A Division II area round matchup in five innings via run rule
including at least one by all nine of its hitters and two or more from seven of them
and advanced to the program’s third straight regional semifinal
“Just thrilled for this group,” Guyer coach Keith Medford said
Guyer advances to face the winner of a best-of-three series between Midland (29-6) and Mansfield Legacy (26-6) in next week’s regional semifinal round
Legacy won the opener 10-0 on Friday night
Saturday at Clyde Eula High with Game 3 to follow
The Lady Wildcats are headed to the round for a third consecutive season amid an impressive run that featured a state semifinal trip last year and state final appearance in 2023
The latest group had to replace seven starters from last year’s loaded squad
all of whom signed to play collegiate softball
Six of the newcomers stepping in for those standouts had no prior varsity experience
Guyer found a way to finish the regular season 24-3 overall and won its third straight District 5-6A title
“We all work well together,” Madison Joyner said
Guyer got the scoring started in the top of the first on a three-run triple by Chloe O’Brien that scored Creighton signee Aubriella Martinez
Pearce added its lone run in the bottom half on a sacrifice fly
Emma Richard hit an RBI triple to score Madison Joyner in the top of the second and later crossed on a wild pitch
Madison Joyner doubled in two runs in the third before Richard and Notre Dame commit Finley Montgomery tallied RBI doubles with a Martinez RBI single in between to make it 10-1 through three innings
Montgomery also had a strong day in the circle to compliment Guyer’s hot hitting as she struck out nine while allowing just four hits
one walk and one earned run across five innings of work
New Mexico signee Briana Williams made it 11-1 with an RBI single in the top of the fourth
Six more runs crossed in the fifth on an O’Brien RBI single
a Richard RBI single and a two-run single by UT-Dallas signee Megan DeWitt
Guyer looks to remain on a roll heading into Round 3
“We just have to stay together,” Medford said
“We have to pitch great and play great defense
we’re going to run into some teams that are equally as good as us or better than us

ExpandKendall County Undersheriff Bobby Richardson (Photo provided by the Kendall County Sheriff's Office)
After being Kendall County Sheriff since 2014, Dwight Baird will not run for reelection when his term ends next year.
He is endorsing Kendall County Undersheriff Bobby Richardson for the post. Richardson will formally kick off his campaign at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Kendall County Courthouse in Yorkville.
In an email, Baird said he will formally announce at that time that he is not running for reelection and that he is endorsing Richardson for Kane County Sheriff. Richardson began his career in law enforcement in 2007 as a patrol deputy at the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office.
No other candidates have announced they plan to run for sheriff in the November 2026 election. Richardson is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, where he served in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He has worked his way up through the ranks. In November 2019, he was promoted by Baird to the rank of undersheriff and currently oversees the Operations Division of the Sheriff’s Office.
Prior to becoming Sheriff, Baird was the Oswego police chief for almost 12 years. He started his law enforcement career in 1990 when he was hired by the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy.

coupled with a smooth and comfortable ride.The Globe and Mail
I am looking to purchase a 2025 luxury hybrid SUV that is not too big
I need space for a pet cargo in the back to travel with two dogs and myself and my husband
Much of my research centres around the Lexus models
but there is also Volvo and perhaps Mercedes
What stands up best during cold Canadian winters
luxury may not be as important if there is a vehicle that meets your recommended criteria and offers good value for the price
Mark Richardson: Jill sounds like a true Canadian
She doesn’t want the biggest SUV out there
but the right-sized vehicle for two people and two dogs
She’s surely looked at the Lexus UX series already
The UX is the smallest and most affordable Lexus in the SUV family
she can move up the ladder to the Lexus NX – it’s available with gas
Richardson: The NX is basically the luxurious Lexus version of the popular Toyota RAV4
the plug-in hybrid is more powerful than the hybrid and the conventional gas-powered models
Gentile: You can also tell the difference inside the cabin
The NX is filled with high-quality and high-end materials; it’s posh and attractive compared to the RAV4’s cabin
The most expensive RAV4 sells for about $50,000
The plug-in hybrids are even more expensive
topping out at $65,000 for the RAV4 and around $80,000 for the NX
Gentile: There is a price premium to pay for plug-in hybrids and since we don’t know Jill’s budget
she’ll have to decide if the price premium is worth the fuel savings in the long term
It will almost certainly take her years to recoup those savings in fuel costs
Richardson: I think she’ll be happy to spend the money to get all those tactile luxuries – she’s also considering Mercedes-Benz and Volvo
There’s less of a wait for the plug-in Lexus over the plug-in Toyota
Let’s look at some other options she mentioned
and it also comes with a plug-in hybrid option.Courtesy of manufacturer
Richardson: The XC60 is lovely in a more minimalist
and it certainly knows how to handle a Canadian winter
and it also comes with a plug-in hybrid option
But it’s not the most exciting vehicle to drive
but she should drive one at a dealership and see if she likes the feel of it
solid and safe when you get behind the wheel
Richardson: Jill also mentioned Mercedes-Benz
and I think she’d like both of its smaller SUVs
The GLA would be a good fit if the dogs are not too large
I think the midsize GLC SUV would be better than the GLB
Richardson: Why do you dismiss the GLA so quickly as too small
It’s a great size for a couple of passengers
then there’s plenty of space for their carriers and everything else
And why do you prefer the GLC over the GLB
The Mercedes-Benz GLC is only about $5,000 more than the base GLB
and it’s a little more powerful.Courtesy of manufacturer
Gentile: GLA is definitely too small for Jill’s needs
especially in the cargo area – she’d be hard pressed to put two dogs there
The GLB’s boxier shape lends it to better passenger and cargo space
but the GLC is equally spacious and comfortable
I prefer its smoother road manners over the GLB
Richardson: The base GLC is only about $5,000 more than the base GLB
Those base price numbers can be seductive though
because most buyers will want additional features that cost extra
The options can add up fast so you have to be wary
if you have to pay big bucks for four or five items when you only want one of them
Richardson: This is especially the case with premium vehicles
can usually add maybe 50 per cent to its cost from buying the basic model to buying the most loaded and powerful model
but premium cars like Mercedes and BMW can double the cost and sometimes more
Gentile: That’s so true – it’s the price you pay for buying a luxury vehicle
Richardson: I drove a BMW 3 Series recently and it did not have active cruise control
but I was surprised I’d have to pay extra on a vehicle that already costs $65,000
when it’s standard on the most basic $27,000 Toyota Corolla
Gentile: It’s a standard feature on my Honda Civic
what do you think is the best option for Jill
Richardson: I think she’ll get the best value from the Lexus NX
but the $64,000 Volvo XC60 will also be a good choice if she likes its interior
They’re both priced about the same when you include additional features on the Lexus that are standard on the Volvo
And don’t bother with the PHEV versions – they have a little more power
but the fuel savings are wiped out by their higher purchase prices
Gentile: My pick for Jill is the Lexus NX – it’s refined elegance
coupled with a smooth and comfortable ride
but both the regular and hybrid NXs are Canadian-built
The Volvo XC60 that’s sold in Canada is made in Belgium and the Mercedes-Benz GLC is made in Germany

Indy had no choice but to add competition to press their fourth-overall investment Richardson into being better than his landslide 2024 campaign
which saw immense regression from his rookie season
CBS Sports slams the Colts for their quarterback conundrum with Richardson and Jones
Garrett Podell broke it down in his critique
the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft
became just the fourth quarterback since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger to lead the NFL in yards per completion (14.4) while ranking dead last in completion percentage (47.7%) in 2024," Poddell wrote
"He's the ultimate boom or bust quarterback in the NFL today: he has a cannon
but he desperately needs to become more accurate."
Poddell ranks the Colts as the second-worst quarterback room (now including Notre Dame's Riley Leonard) behind only the Pittsburgh Steelers
The former Florida Gators field general had a completion percentage of 47.7 and threw 12 picks to only eight scores
While Richardson is more than capable on the ground as a running asset
that's not what makes a quarterback successful in the pros
it's all about getting that completion percentage closer to 60 percent (or higher) while taking better care of the football
Jones isn't far behind Richardson as far as performance
The former New York Giants signal-caller may be more accurate
but he won a measly three games over 2023 and 2024 while losing 13
Jones didn't have the most support in the Meadowlands
but also played awful football at times while under center despite a lack of offensive line help and competent weapons for most of his tenure in the NFC
the Colts brought in Jones with confidence he can push Richardson to be his best
but the brass are holding out hope that their draft investment from 2023 pans out
it's a complete lost cause that continues what has been a quarterback purgatory-type situation for Chris Ballard since Andrew Luck's abrupt retirement in 2019
This is Richardson's last chance to claim the starting position before the Colts may hang it up on this experiment with the athletic quarterback
If the former Giant can't attain the starting role then he could be in store for a career-backup role
Everything rides on Richardson's success
things become incredibly murky for the entire Colts franchise moving forward
Can Richardson bounce back from a brutal second season in year three
That is the paramount question with zenith-level importance that holds much weight for the organization
— Arkansas State men’s basketball head coach Ryan Pannone announced Wednesday the addition of Rashaad Richardson to his 2025-26 coaching staff as an assistant coach
Richardson joins the Red Wolves after spending last season at Southern University in Baton Rouge
where he helped the Jaguars to a 20-12 mark and SWAC regular-season title
who was his high school coach as a senior at Oldsmar Christian School in Tampa
“Rashaad Richardson is an assistant coach who is coming to us from Southern University,” Pannone said
he also spent time at Middle Tennessee and Tulane after playing at Georgia State and playing for me when I was a high school coach
Rashaad has the unique ability to relate to players but also understand who I am as a person and as a coach
to be able to help create buy-in for our program on what is expected
and then how I truly feel for them since he got to play for me
coaching ability and on-court player development will bring a lot of value to this program.”
Richardson spent the 2023-24 campaign as Director of Operations at Middle Tennessee State
overseeing the day-to-day operations of the program in addition to assisting with travel
Richardson also spent time at Tulane as a graduate assistant
overseeing video responsibilities as well as assisting with daily and game day operations
Richardson spent the 2019-20 season as an assistant coach at Clarendon College
helping the team finish 31-3 and win Region 5 regular-season and tournament championships
2 seed in the NJCAA Tournament but were unable to compete due to the COVID-19 pandemic
he was able to help six players sign Division-I scholarships
Richardson began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Stephenson High School in Stone Mountain
helping the team win two region crowns in his three seasons with the program
helping the Panthers to 74 wins and a pair of postseason tournament appearances
Named a captain during his final two seasons
his 117 games played ranked in the top 10 in school history at the end of his playing career

Analyst John Breech from CBS Sports predicts Richardson will emerge as the starter due to his talent and tenure
who had a solid season with the Giants before moving to the Colts
Both quarterbacks come with their own strengths and questions that could impact the team's 2025 season
Both players have histories with injuries and inconsistent performances
the competition between Richardson and Jones will define not only their individual careers but also the Colts' trajectory for the upcoming season
Coach Shane Steichen’s decisions will be crucial in determining the team's offensive strategy
the outcome will hinge on the ability to improve in crucial areas like consistency and health
The competition is set to motivate both quarterbacks
potentially revitalizing the Colts' offense in 2025
