"Democrats are going to pack the Supreme Court." My brother in Christ, you are a Senator from Utah. The Utah Republican Party just packed the State Supreme Court in retaliation for a ruling they didn't like.

Trump just announced that he will be going after all Smithsonian museums that teach “how bad Slavery was,” calling it “WOKE.”

John Marck refused to answer Senator @ChrisCoons's question of whether President Trump is eligible to run for president in 2028. This isn’t a trick question – it's in the Constitution. If you can’t say a president can’t serve a third term, you shouldn’t be a federal judge. 🚩

We did not cancel elections during the Civil War. We did not cancel elections for World War II. We did not cancel elections for COVID. But the Louisiana Governor sees the opportunity to gerrymander Black members out of their seats and… STATE OF EMERGENCY: ELECTION CANCELLED

@summoningsalt My question with the red button dilemma. What about children? What if my 3 year old and 1 year old choose blue because they’re illiterate or they don’t understand? Red is the correct logical choice for yourself. But if everyone chooses blue we protect the most vulnerable.

A train is coming down a track. Everyone on Earth has the choice to either tie themselves to the track, or not. If more than 50% of people choose to tie themselves to the track, the train turns around and doesn't run them over. Yes or no - do you tie yourself to the track?

This is actually insane ball knowledge (credit: @RyanClinger1)

School Shooting: There’s nothing we can do about this. Don’t politicize these tragedies. Political Shooting: We need a $400 million bunker built immediately and you hate America if you don’t agree.

MAGA accounts tweet in unison about the need for a White House ballroom following WHCD incident

Fund our national parks

BREAKING: A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts, per NYT. In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention. Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, and the Trump family’s deals are expanding.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

In 2025, U.S. national parks recorded more than 323 million visits. But as the parks gain more popularity, the Trump administration has proposed cutting more than a billion dollars from the National Park Service, which could eliminate thousands of jobs and threaten protections across more than 430 parks nationwide. @GeoffRBennett has more.

I wrote about this in my newsletter. The Weather Service didn't launch balloons recently and got surprised by tornadoes in Kansas. DOGE cuts at NWS cut out weather balloon launches which gather data for storm prediction. You are less safe because of that choice.

Oh cool so apparently socialism is ok if you’re an airline but very bad if you can’t afford food or healthcare so they cut SNAP and Medicaid

@SethDavisHoops I’m glad kids are getting paid. They deserve it. But it does make the sport overall less enjoyable when your entire roster turns over every year. A big part of the fun is loving players. They are invested in you, you are invested in them. Now it feels strictly transactional.

The reason we have unlimited free agency is because in 2023 the NCAA denied a waiver to a basketball player at West Virginia. With the school's encouragement and support, the state AG recruited a dozen other states plus the US Dept of Justice to mount a legal assault on the transfer rule. That forced the NCAA to pass a new rule allowing players to transfer as often as they want without having to sit out. The reason we have zero salary cap is because despite many years of expensive legal wrangling to produce the House settlement, schools and coaches are basically operating as if it never happened. The CSC and NIL Go might as well be canasta clubs. It's a money laundering shell game with no enforcement and no proper scrutiny. The very same people who complain the loudest about the system are the ones who created it. As for a union and collective bargaining, not only is that legally improbable and logistically unfeasible, but the players have no incentive to create a CBA which would limit their freedom of movement and/or compensation. Players are making a killing off the current setup, which simply requires the NCAA to follow the law as it is currently written. Why would they want a CBA? And why is it a problem for so many people that players are finally benefiting from the exponential growth and profitability of this sport? Meanwhile, within the last few days at least three players, including two projected lottery picks, turned down the NBA to come back to college. Dozens of quality Euros are also playing in college. Rick Pitino and many others say the quality of play is better than it has been in decades. Coaches salaries are going up, players are finally making what they're worth, and TV ratings are through the roof. And now college hoops has legit free agency, which means many people are paying close attention to the sport at a time when they otherwise wouldn't. To call this "a great plan" is to suggest that all of this was planned. It was not. This is a full-scale disruption, and it was long overdue. Messy, chaotic, confusing and dizzying, yes, but on balance a much better system than the one it replaced IMHO.

If u want to defund this ur a little bitch

This one separates casual fans from the real ones… Final Jeopardy in NFL history take a second before you answer.

@RyanMc23 Slaps BBQ

Spending a few day in Kansas City. Gimme some can't-miss spots to eat.

Inconceivably evil.

Ossoff: How much do you guys know about Jared Kushner—Ivanka’s husband? He’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 billion. And now he’s leading American diplomacy in the Middle East, apparently, while at the very same time asking princes and sheikhs to give him billions more. Can you imagine a normal sitting U.S. ambassador just hitting MBS for billions? But he’s a Trump, a royal, a princeling. The rules are for us, not for them. And it’s not just Jared. Never before have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia has taken American corruption to spectacular new heights.
