@MZHemingway Insisting is not too much. That they do so with straight face? Yes. 😉

Insisting that my family members now refer to me as "three-time New York Times best-selling author." Too much?

@historyrock_ No Eagles = list not worth a damn

Top 10 bands of all time by Billboard. 1. The Beatles 2. The Rolling Stones 3. Led Zeppelin 4. Pink Floyd 5. Queen 6. Fleetwood Mac 7. U2 8. Sly & The Family Stone 9. Black Sabbath 10. Nirvana

@Five_2Bravo @NRCC I too hate what was done in VA regarding redistricting. However, that meme is weak sauce. VT and DE have only one member of Congress; HI, NH have 2 and NM has three. That's 5 of 9 on the list. Tough to "rig" those states. Gotta argue better.

@NRCC The redistricting battle started by whom?

Moments Ago: A visibly agitated Hakeem Jeffries says “I stand by” calling for “maximum warfare” against Republicans. “You can continue to criticize me for it, I don’t give a damn about your criticism!” Unhinged.

@JonathanTurley One of the things I enjoy about the Mambino Curse is that, if Mamdani had been the second coming of Rudy Giuliani, not the power seeking communist he is, this "curse" talk would just as prevalent, absurd and amusing.

New Yorkers are blaming the 12-game losing streak on "the Curse of the Mambino," after the mayor embraced Mr. Met. Of course, spending $253 million without a win is still better than $30 million on a grocery store that will not be built for years. At least the Mets are playing...

@JeffBezos When the rockets thrust caused a wake/ripple in the water, I expected/hoped it would be Godzilla popping out of the water to do his thing. (I was only slightly disappointed.) Amazing stuff.

@Nick_N6 @Mets The Wyoming Metropolitans? If Utah can keep the "Jazz", why not?

@Mets Time to move the team out of queens. We’re tired

Final: #Mets 4 - Chicago (NL) 12

@RubinReport @EvanRobertsWFAN @EvanandTikiWFAN He's destroying the city! On the other hand, he should hug KAT and Brunson.

He’ll just take some wins from other teams and give them to the Mets.

@LibertyCappy See this in the theater.

What is the first thing you do?

@Hero_OfThe_Day @Rick24Barry The only thing I take issue with Barry is blaming only the refs. A lot of it (if not most or all) is from league officials telling them to turn a blind eye to things. Or else.

MUST WATCH!! NBA Legend Rick Barry had an epic rant about the modern NBA. “Call the game according to the rule book!!” 🔥🔥 Do you agree that the NBA is losing popularity due to poor officiating?? 🤔🤔 (@Rick24Barry)

@ElrodDude @Hero_OfThe_Day @Rick24Barry Contact is not always a foul. Contact that results in an advantage or disadvantage is. When you see a delayed whistle, often it is a ref who is waiting to see if a ball goes in. If it does, play on.

@Hero_OfThe_Day @Rick24Barry They would have to call a foul on every play

@CuriosityonX Would there be phases (ie waxing banana; full banana)? "Full banana" seems necessary.

A giant banana would look like in Earth's orbit.

@ClownWorld He deserves "Person of the Year" consideration.

@bradfo Is there still a BLM sign?

There is something new on the left field wall at Fenway (and Patrick Sandoval is playing catch)

@AdamSchefter I'm gonna watch this clip all night. Wow.

One of the more unforgettable sequences in NCAA tournament history:

@RuthlessPodcast @HolmesJosh @MichaelDuncan @JohnAshbrook I sent this to Smug. You all need to do this. Love the show and insights from you & the boys. Wanna impress folks? Declare Thune the winner of Hack Madness. Allowing a 3 am voice vote on DHS funding, then recessing, that is the act of an extraordinary hack.

@ComfortablySmug Love the show and insights from you & the boys. Wanna impress folks? Declare Thune the winner of Hack Madness. Allowing a 3 am voice vote on DHS funding, then recessing, that is the act of an extraordinary hack.

@SpeakerJohnson Schumer? It's the whole lot of them, led by Thune. He allowed a voice vote at 3 am. That chamber is filled with gutless, craven cowards. Every senator needs to explain this and their involvement. Call them all out.

House Republicans are NOT going to be part of any effort to reopen our borders or stop immigration enforcement. Chuck Schumer’s gambit last night is a joke. We must fully fund Homeland Security and support our brave law enforcement heroes who keep Americans safe.

@overton_news @DataRepublican It’s even worse than you think. Just asked Grok for the Senate roll call vote on the bill the House rejected. There was none. The Senate passed it on a voice vote. That chamber is filled with gutless, craven cowards.

Mask off moment. Speaker Mike Johnson QUESTIONS whether Senate Republicans actually read the bill they passed to the House before heading on recess. Johnson then turned to the cameras and read a jaw-dropping section aloud for the media. JOHNSON: “This gambit that was done last night is a JOKE.” “I’m quite convinced that it can’t be that every Senate Republican read the language of this bill, and I’m going to just read you one excerpt of it, because it’s pretty alarming, and it says everything that you need to know.” “In section four…this is on page two of the bill….” “It says, ‘The contents printed under the headings of this bill, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border security operations under the heading of US Customs and Border Patrol and Protection shall have no force or effect for purposes of this act and amounts specified in the final bill under the subheading border security operation, and under the heading U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and under the headings of US Immigration and Customs enforcement, in the Department of Homeland Security shall be...ZERO.’” “We’re not doing that.”

@AMAZlNGNATURE Frog is clearly being an asshole.

After eating EVERY Single one and the lizard gets one. Frog: bruh you serious right now?!

@GerryCallahan I ditched CT after spending a lifetime there. While CT is truly a beautiful state, its populous, by and large, has, shall we say, faltered.

There’s a lot of competition obviously but I think it’s clear Chris Murphy is the biggest scumbag in Congress. No one is rooting harder for the US to lose this war. No one is trying harder to demoralize the troops, gaslight the public and give aid and comfort to our enemies. A true lowlife.
