@LMurphyDC I agree unless they're a Yankees fan

I married a man who both likes to watch sports with me and has never been threatened by my fandom. Never asked me to prove my team loyalty or was rude if I asked a question about his. Just was happy to talk about it.

old enough to remember when Republicans cared about deficits and balanced budgets

I'm worried people are too focused on Trump paying off past actions and not what he's incentivizing in the future washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

What even does this first sentence mean? Obama literally negotiated with Iran. Whether you liked the outcome or not, it happened.

Community note for the win.🤣

Not getting enough attention: the one-page order from Todd Blanche to wipe out every audit of Donald Trump. Many experts believe it’s illegal, and here’s why. Federal law prohibits the President or his aides from directing or halting an IRS audit. Agents who carry out a politically motivated audit, or stop one at the direction of the White House, can face prison time. That is the statute on the books. Now look at what just happened. Todd Blanche, the Acting Attorney General and Donald Trump’s former personal criminal defense lawyer, signed a one-page order demanding the IRS drop every existing audit of Trump, his family, and their “affiliates.” One of those audits reportedly could have cost Trump more than $100 million. The Treasury Department’s top lawyer resigned over it. The acting top IRS lawyer had to recuse himself because he previously represented Trump in his tax cases. There is no precedent for an Attorney General ordering an end to audits of a group of taxpayers. Many experts say the Attorney General has no authority to do this. So we have a likely illegal order, signed by the President’s former lawyer, on behalf of the President, protecting the President. And the only people with jurisdiction to investigate it work for the President. I will fight this with every tool I have.

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. But the story of how he got it is even worse. County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected to represent. That is absolutely insane. Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…
