"THE TRAGEDY IS NOT THAT TRUMP IS INSANE. THE TRAGEDY IS THAT EVERYONE AROUND HIM IS TOO F*CKING COWARDLY TO STOP HIM." RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU AGREE🖐️

BREAKING: News legends Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson along with 250 journalists sign blistering letter demanding the White House Correspondents’ Dinner “stop the polite nonsense” forcefully call out Trump to his face! In a powerful open letter, retired star journalists Rather (94) and Donaldson (92), along with more than 250 other members of the press, are urging the White House Correspondents’ Association to stop the usual polite nonsense and use this week’s dinner to directly confront Donald Trump’s unprecedented attacks on the free press. The letter states that Trump’s “systematic, sustained, and unprecedented” assault on journalism – including retaliatory bans, lawsuits, defunding public broadcasting, arrests of reporters, and constant verbal attacks – makes it impossible for the dinner to continue as “business as usual.” They are calling on the WHCA to issue a strong, public defense of the First Amendment from the podium, deliver a direct condemnation of Trump’s behavior, and toast the Constitution in front of the man who has spent years trying to destroy press freedom. This is a remarkable moment: some of the most respected names in American journalism are saying enough is enough. Enough normalizing. Enough smiling and clapping while Trump attacks the free press every single day. The letter makes clear that freedom of the press is not a partisan issue but a cornerstone of democracy, and must be defended. If you support real journalists standing up to Trump’s war on the free press, please like and share this post.

@BBGreatMoments Stand up move by Yelich. That's awesome!

Christian Yelich is the best 🥹

@saniyafatma1278 I would call him an ambulance.

If you were seeing someone and he slammed your dog to the ground and broke his leg in two places would you call the police?

@NamethatYank Don Mattingly!

NAME THAT YANK! In his entire career, this man made the playoffs only once, in which he was completely dominant despite it being a losing effort. In a 14 year career entirely as a Yank, this man led the league in H’s 2x, 2B’s 3x consecutively, RBI’s 1x & won himself won Batting Title though he was close to losing it to another Yank that year & almost won another. The 1x MVP won 9 Gold Gloves & 3 SS awards. This is the FIRST PLAYER of this week’s theme. Answers MAY NOT be hidden. No peeking!

This is what a broken healthcare system & rigged tax code looks like: Last year, CVS paid $0 in federal income taxes, raised premiums by nearly 20%, cut over 1,800 jobs, gave its CEO $21 million & made $6.57 billion in profit. Yes. We must tax the rich & enact Medicare for All.

An MLB player tosses a ball to a kid wearing his jersey. The kid makes the catch… then hands it to his little sister and gives her a hug. How can you not love baseball

The best sport there is.

I reckon this is why baseball is America's sport! ❤️❤️

who’s the player of the game?

@RVAwonk So far I'm failing to see the benefits of AI.

As we head towards midterm elections, NYT says it has identified “hundreds” of fake AI-generated pro-Trump social media accounts. Trump has reposted content from at least one of the fake accounts.

@CNN Replace "particularly" with "exclusively."

President Donald Trump will participate in a public Bible reading this week as the administration continues to integrate religion, particularly Christianity, into official business. cnn.it/4vLlaFl

> Netflix raised prices > Disney+ raised prices > HBO Max raised prices > Amazon just removed 4K from standard plan > YouTube Premium now $15.99/month > Family plan hit $26.99 > Average American spends ~$828/year on streaming We are paying MORE, getting LESS, and watching ads anyway. They didn't kill cable. They became it.

An overwhelming majority of Americans support universal healthcare. The insurance and for-profit healthcare industry is against it, and they pay off enough politicians with campaign donations to block it. It’s not a lack of support, it’s an overwhelming amount of corruption.

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr and his fans dredging up the same nonsense Such a tiresome waste of time

Donald Trump just lost his war and conceded defeat to Iran. When he committed America's military to war with Iran with no plan, no objective, and no Congressional approval, the Strait of Hormuz was free and open. Trump's war gave Iran more power than they've ever had. He's conceding to them on every level, and for good reason. He lost. America lost. America lost because of Donald J. Trump and his blunder. Nothing forced America into Trump's war with Iran. NOTHING. Now, the Iranians are deciding when the Strait of Hormuz is open and how much their toll booth gets to charge on one of the world's most important waterways. The entire disastrous blunder did nothing but prove that even with the world's largest military, if you put morons in charge (Hegseth) and make bad decisions about when to fight, then you will lose. America's entire military doctrine used to be based on DETERRENCE and who is deterred now? Certainly not the Iranians. If I were them, I'd be doing everything to be more like North Korea, with Kim Jong Un's help. Because clearly, having nuclear weapons and delivery systems deters attacks and attempts at regime change. Donald Trump has OBLITTERATED generations worth of American soft power and diplomatic capital in just 15 months in office, and what do we have to show for it? High gas prices. High import taxes. Fewer manufacturing jobs. A shattered jobs market. Government wastes through the roof. Corruption so free, you'd think it was air. And we're all paying for it time and time again. Even with an open Strait of Hormuz, the idiotic timing of Trump's war means that your food prices are going to rise through the rest of the year, no matter what happens next. And oh, by the way, the Iranians already declared the Strait closed again this morning. Donald Trump is doing more to harm America than any adversary nation could ever accomplish. He is a loser. He is bankrupting America.

@BackAftaThis Wins just aren't that accurate a stat. Quality starts are a better measurement of a starting pitchers effectiveness.

Schlittler throws 93 pitches in six innings. Zero earned runs, departs with the lead. Doval enters in the 8th, throws 16 pitches, gives up the game-tying HR and gets the W. Major League Baseball has been around for 150 years. It's time to find a more equitable way to award wins.
