I've had a lot of cool moments in my career, but an @theaustinbruins fan named Tyler giving me a hand made gift and congrats on 1,000 games because he enjoys listening to our games ranks pretty high up there. Not great when a guy who is paid to talk is left speechless.

We know. We’ve seen the Cabinet.

If Trump wanted to put his face on every coin and bill in America, the Republican Party would lineup like trained seals to applaud.

Here’s advice from PAXIS about the presence of ICE at our airports. PAXIS.app is here to protect immigrants and citizens from the unlawful and unconstitutional actions of ICE. 1st, 4th, 5th, 14th Amendments — These rights apply to people, not just citizens. At airports and ports of entry, protections can be more limited, especially for people seeking entry. Action — Stay calm. Ask: “Am I free to leave?” If not, ask: “Am I being detained?” 1st Amendment — You cannot be detained or punished for your religion or political beliefs. You do not have to answer questions about them. Action — Say: “I choose not to answer questions about my beliefs.” 4th Amendment — Officers cannot detain you based only on appearance, language, or ethnicity. Airports allow more limited searches, but discrimination alone is not lawful cause. Action — Say: “I do not consent to any searches.” (Do not physically resist.) 5th Amendment — You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer questions that could be used against you. Action — Say: “I am exercising my right to remain silent. I want to speak to an attorney.” 14th Amendment — Anyone born in the U.S. (with narrow exceptions) is a citizen. Action — If relevant, state: “I am a U.S. citizen.” You may show ID to TSA for travel (license or passport). You do not have to provide ID to ICE unless they have a lawful basis to detain you. Action— Say: “Am I being detained?” If no → you may walk away. If yes → say: “I am exercising my right to remain silent. I want a lawyer.” 5th Amendment (Due Process) — Everyone in the U.S., including noncitizens, has the right to due process. The government cannot deport someone already inside the country without legal process, though rights are more limited at entry points like airports. Action — Say: “I request a hearing and access to legal counsel.” FIGHT ICE, FIGHT TRUMP, FIGHT FACISM: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

"This is not a conservative party. It's a nihilistic party ... This is mind-bending to some people, in that, people I think who are younger, may not understand it, but the conservative party today is the Democratic Party. Because as Democrats, we are trying to preserve, to conserve the things that we have created."

He’ll say it’s not the same thing if we use Coinbase this time.

How does this make any sense? Trump is gifting billions of dollars to Iran while they’re attacking our servicemembers. Doing this now only puts servicemembers in more danger and threatens to drag this war out even longer. He has no idea what he’s doing.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING We are lifting sanctions on IRAN. Tell me how this is going “as planned” again please MAGA?

America spent 80 years building the most powerful alliance network in history. We blew it up in 12 months so one man could feel important. China is laughing. Russia is relieved. Our allies are making backup plans. Let’s flush the toilet of bad history. (link in reply)

As polls show Hungary's Viktor Orban losing the elections next month, JD Vance plans to visit to bolster him, the most autocratic, anti-democratic leader in the European Union. It is horrible what Trump-Vance stand for. trib.al/03vLtVa

When some loons online celebrated and mocked the murder of Charlie Kirk, there was a huge outrage on the right, and rightfully so. Some people even lost their jobs over it. Today, the President of the United States took to social media to celebrate the death of a decorated Vietnam veteran and former FBI director, a Republican, and we all know virtually every Republican member of Congress will refuse to condemn it This is where we are now.

When Obama sent Iran $400m + $1.3bn in interest in 2016 Trump called it "insane" and he and others spent a decade mocking the idea of "pallets of cash" even though it was Iran's own money, American prisoners were released, courts were likely to require the U.S. payment, and Iran had just agreed to significant and verified reductions and restrictions on its nuclear program for 15+ years. Now Trump is giving Iran up to ten times that amount of revenue--one of the most significant measures of sanctions relief provided to the Islamic Republic since its founding--in exchange for marginal and temporary relief from the big increase in oil prices his actions have caused, without any concessions from Tehran, and even as Iran continues to target the United States, its allies, and world oil supplies. No way to read as anything other than desperate recognition of the situation Trump's own actions have created and the lack of available alternatives for dealing with it.

@KevinMcCurdy I feel like throwing a literal book at him would at best be unhelpful and at worst would actually diminish the idea the unnecessary violence in the game needs to stop.

As a society we've spent millions of dollars for little stop signs for kids backs in minor hockey as a prevention measure for hits exactly like this. This is as dangerous as they come, and it's going to be telling how DoPS handles this. If they don't throw the literal book at him, the next escalation is a life altering injury for a player all because DoPS forgot what their mission statement is. This should be a suspension for close to the remainder of the season. Tick tock.

What's telling here, of course, is that Trump has always insisted Mueller CLEARED him Trump's psychotic reaction here suggests: even TRUMP knows Mueller DID NOT clear him

The court artist painted a masterpiece and doesn't even know it. #afroman

One day, Donald Trump will die, and his supporters will try to punish the people who say things like this.

Today I learned "slut" means "final" in Swedish.

A campaign visit from Rubio, a video address in support by Trump, an impeding campaign visit by JD Vance, an entire company of Kremlin political strategists sent to Budapest to guide the election campaign for Orban. But yeah — it’s Ukraine that does “election interference” by responding to Orban idiotic propaganda, insults, and threats.
