Dear @EricHolder, thank you for inspiring this account. Elliot Richardson was a 'Greatest Generation Republican' who cared. He held 6 WH cabinet posts, was elected AG of Mass. and even served as a stretcher bearer on Omaha Beach. When Nixon pushed him too far, he acted w/ honor.

No truer words have been spoken. 🎯🎯🎯👇

In army vet speaks on Trump’s first 100 days. You have to see this.

President Biden’s farewell address: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people … Today, an oligarchy is taking shape.” @atrupar

🔥 Americans are rising up against the lawlessness of the Trump-Musk regime. A voter in Iowa to GOP Sen. Grassley: “My question to you is: Why do you believe President Trump is above the law? … Why have you not spoken out?”

"It was during lunch hour. I gave my Dad the money and said, 'Pop, this is for you. You won’t owe anybody anymore.’ I never saw my father cry but that day he did" 16 year old Joe Garagiola gives his Dad his signing bonus to pay off their mortgage. "Working Class" Pietro Berra, left, father of New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra, and Giovanni Garagiola, father of St. Louis Cardinals catcher Joe Garagiola, eat lunch at the St. Louis plant where they work. 1947.

With my favorite “should still be a Senator” @alfranken at the premier of The Residence on @netflix from @shondarhimes also starring my nephew Paul Fitzgerald. Hope this photo doesn’t upset too many stick up the butts! 👍

When I first saw this scene “What does a yellow light mean” I had actual tears rolling down my face. Christopher Lloyd was brilliant on Taxi

Super Sky Point to the great George Foreman. This one hurts. A kid who arrived on the national scene when he won gold in Mexico City in 1968 and waved American flags. Who became the most feared boxer of his era after destroying Joe Frazier and Ken Norton in a combined four rounds. An invincible force who was outthought and outboxed by an allegedly washed up Muhammad Ali in Zaire in 1974 and who retired three years later, exhausted after another upset loss and changed by the subsequent religious experience that prompted him to retire in his prime. Big George left public life and went home to Texas for a decade before returning to boxing to raise money for his church. He was mocked for being fat and written off as a joke as he knocked over a slew of tomato cans. But he persevered to regain that heavyweight title he lost in that African night just over 20 years later at age 45 with a right hand that rendered an undefeated champion unconscious. “It happened! It happened!” shouted Jim Lampley as Michael Moorer laid on his back in a fog after meeting the same right hand that had separated so many other men from their senses. He learned how to smile during his second act. Now bald and cherubic, the same folks who once feared him and teased him suddenly loved him. He became a genial teddy bear who made millions hawking that damn grill. Goodbye to Big George, a man who achieved a dream he believed in for two decades - the dream only he thought was possible. A man whose goodness redeemed him from the darkness that prevented him from enjoying his initial fame, fortune, and acclaim. He won so much more in his middle age than that heavyweight crown he prized so much. I never met George Foreman but I loved him. Rest in peace, champ.

Was it worth it, little Marco?

Very cute butterfly. This memory will be forever...

How EMBARRASSING for Trump. CNN just played clips of President Zelensky thanking the United States on multiple occasions after Trump claimed Zelensky was ungrateful. Marco Rubio had no response! It’s worth a watch.

Kamala Harris told us exactly what was going to happen.

Marco Rubio should resign. What a worthless milksop. A doormat, nothing more.

.@SecRubio What happened to you? You have betrayed yourself. @marcorubio What a disgrace you are. Great posture on that couch.

"I’m fine" What Bob Gibson told Cardinals trainer Bob Bauman, when he came out to check on him. Bauman could see a dent in Gibson’s leg shaped suspiciously like a baseball. Dutifully, Bauman sprayed Gibson’s leg with ethyl chloride, a cooling substance used for the temporary relief of minor injuries. "I hate to tell you, Doc, but you’re spraying in the wrong place,” Gibson said. That was when Bauman showed him the dent in his leg. "It was odd that I couldn’t feel where I had been struck, but since I couldn’t feel it, I wasn’t particularly worried. I told Doc to put a little tape on it and let me get back to work." Gibson walked the next batter, Willie Stargell, before getting Bill Mazeroski to fly out to Curt Flood in center field. Gibson had a full count on Donn Clendenon when he attempted to put a little extra effort into the pitch. For the second time that inning, he collapsed. This time, his fibula had snapped completely, 3 ½ inches above his right ankle." "Stranger to the Game" Bob Gibson, Autobiography

February 28, 2025: The Day America Publicly Embraced Tyranny 🧵1/10: Friday, February 28, 2025, will be remembered as a day of infamy—a moment as dark in America’s history as December 7th, January 6th, and September 11th. This is the day the United States did not just abandon its leadership in the democratic world—it actively joined the forces working to dismantle it. For decades, America was the backbone of the international order. The world relied on Washington for security, stability, and the defense of democratic values. Allies coordinated with the U.S. before making major decisions. Dictators feared its economic leverage. Enemies calculated their moves carefully. That world is gone. Today, NATO allies plan around Washington, not with it. Dictators act without concern for American retaliation. And for the first time in modern history, the United States is no longer a democracy defending freedom—it is a power aligned against it. This is the moment when the U.S. officially passed the baton of global leadership, not to another democracy, but to the forces of authoritarianism. This is the moment it changed teams. theintellectualist.com/february-28-20…

Zelensky has thanked Trump, Congress, and the American people many times. But let's be clear: when Trump and Vance said that THEY are trying to help Ukraine right now, and need to be thanked for the work personally, there are reasons to wonder. 1/ THREAD

MAGA is making the claim that if you watch the entire 50 minute video, Zelensky is the antagonist. This isn't true. At all. I was with Zelensky before this meeting and it's important to know his mindset heading in. 1/ A short 🧵on how the entire ambush went down.
