@Tcho76521726 @Probably_Human_ @mattyglesias @jeffspross you mean the only good thing he did in his catastrophic presidency? i mean...sure

@Probably_Human_ @mattyglesias @jeffspross Does GWB not get any credit for doing pepfar?

Obama had a lot of fine qualities. But he chose to hand his economic policy operation over to the Clintonite-wing of the Democratic Party, and as a result he completely flubbed the response to a once-in-a-lifetime crisis.

@Celtics_PRam @DuckboatSports @tylermilliken_ @Sean_McAdam EVEN BETTER

@ClearShakes @DuckboatSports @tylermilliken_ @Sean_McAdam I think he’s like 350lbs now

Oh, the Red Sox were “enthralled” with the idea of the Brewers alumni HR derby and have begun discussing the possibility for staging a similar event next season? (Via @Sean_McAdam). These are the first calls you need to make.

@DuckboatSports @tylermilliken_ @Sean_McAdam Hell, Mo Vaughn!

@tylermilliken_ @Sean_McAdam Manny Ramirez David Ortiz Nomar Garciaparra Mike Lowell Kevin Youkilis Dustin Pedroia Will Middlebrooks Jim Rice (if he can swing)

@tkyles39 The Matthew Slater role!

Javon Baker working with Tom Quinn as the only offensive player in gunner drills (returner drills happening on the other field) Baker could carve out a key role for himself on special teams

@Dr_Thembo @heysamir_ @mattyglesias the Senate is bad because it's 2 per state regardless of population

@heysamir_ @mattyglesias I mean, using the Senate model is bad because the Senate is not a good system.

@badinfinity2 where i come from, we just call that christianity

are we taking bets on how long til Brianna Wu “converts” to messianic Judaism

@DubsKnows @KBarsenalpats32 @SavageSports_ Morgan Moses is 34

@KBarsenalpats32 @SavageSports_ And if Campbell does play tackle? (Spoiler: he will and can). Then you wasted a 1st round trade up on a backup LT. Simmons is not a guard prospect.

My current top 10 mock 1. Titans - Cam Ward 2. Browns - Travis Hunter 3. Giants - Abdul Carter 4. Saints (Trade) - Shedeur Sander 5. Jaguars - Mason Graham 6. Raiders - Ashton Jeanty 7. Jets - Tyler Warren 8. Panthers - Jalon Walker 9. Patriots (trade) - Will Campbell 10. Bears - Armand Membou

@Salviati_ @ChrisMurphyCT Cool, now do the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998

@ClearShakes @ChrisMurphyCT The executive order created the structure and most of everything else; the Act merely decreed it to exist. The President may at any time alter or delete an earlier executive order. USAID now exists as a null set, at least for the duration of Trump's term.

1/ Let me explain why the total destruction of USAID - happening as we speak - matters so much. China - where Musk makes his money - wants USAID destroyed. So does Russia. Trump and Musk are doing the bidding of Beijing and Moscow. Why? apnews.com/article/trump-…

@Salviati_ @ChrisMurphyCT en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_A…

@ChrisMurphyCT USAid was created by executive order by Kennedy in 1963. Easy come easy go.

@ProfShakespeare cymbeline?

A hoard of British coins bearing the inscription of King Cunobelin and found in a Dutch field have been identified as very likely to be the spoils of war of a Roman soldier from the conquest of Britain: theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

@mattyglesias His parents accidentally sent him to a reform school for troubled teens, thinking it was a fancy boarding school.

@rmdavis19 not even the right caesar

This is probably my last week for a while and it is a fitting testament to what this site has lost.

@wychstreet yeah because walsh discovered him

Oscar in hand, Cillian Murphy's first move is to.. co-produce/star in a movie about the Magdalene laundries, adapted from a Claire Keegan novella, with a bunch of Irish theatre actors & a script by Enda Walsh

@SummitGlobal1 And how did that go in 1930?

Fast fact: Congress has not raised tariffs through legislation in almost 100 years.

@DrDadabhoy He voted 8 days ago

Did we even see a picture of Biden voting today?

@monicabyrne13 This is not even remotely true.

@daniel_m_lavery are we talking like Advise and Consent level faces?

another point in Conclave's favor: it was so, so lovely to see a lot of old faces for two hours. Hardly a young face to be seen. Old hairlines, old teeth, old faces, old eyes -- marvelous old faces, cragged and slack, angry and sad, resigned and deeply loving! Conclave HAS FACES

@damintoell @brianstelter i think you'll find that trump was also running those years

@brianstelter They endorsed Biden in 2020 and Clinton in 2016.

Of the five boroughs in NYC, Staten Island is Trump's stronghold. Yet today the borough's newspaper, the Staten Island Advance, "enthusiastically" endorsed Harris, calling her "the only choice in 2024," and delivering some tough love to readers 🧵

OK I'm in
