The Oval Office looks like the junkyard from Sanford and Son

You can believe right wing spin or you can believe the people who ran the airline

When war looks like a meme, it's because they don't want you to perceive the reality.

@eldiablodubob Do not trust out of principle ... except with those tempting odds ...

Do I or do I not trust the baffert in the 4th race? I just don’t know. 5/1 should be a fair price tho…

Trying to shop at @Lowes but they've locked me out of my account for not entering a code they never email me. And, yes, I've checked my spam folder. You'd think I was accessing my bank or medical records. Just want to buy a set of stinking blinds!

Staff: I have a PhD in this field and here are 47 papers to back up what I'm saying. Leader: Yes, but first I want to run this by our Boardmember who retired from a different field 11 years ago and isn't remotely up-to-date on current research.

My oh my. I remember when Bari Weiss's The Free Press accused CBS of malfeasance for editing the Kamala Harris interview.

Twenty-three years ago the US said it was going to Americanize Iraq. Instead we got something closer to the Saddam-ification of the US.

@35KYSportsMedia @LarryOBannon @ThePPUpodcast Alan Murphy. He was money from the top of the key.

On Player’s Perspective Uncensored with Larry O’Bannon 🎙️ Murph put Larry on the spot… who’s the best shooter out of him, Taquan Dean, and Francisco Garcia? 👀 Larry kept it honest… Taquan Dean. No debate. “T would outshoot me and Cisco.” As for that second spot between him and Francisco… that’s still up for discussion 😂 Then Murph and L.O. take it even further, debating who the best shooter in Louisville basketball history is between 🐐 DeJuan Wheat and Taquan Dean Two of the purest shooters to ever wear a Cardinal uniform, and a conversation that really shows the level of shooting talent that’s come through the Ville Who do you think the best shooter is in Louisville Basketball history?

@LouisvilleTuan1 How that show is still on remains one of the great mysteries of life. I do turn it on for brief moments sometimes to show someone else how they only rant and rage and self-brag about anything but sports. They never fail!

If you want to be in a good mood for the day, whatever you do, don't listen to Drew Diener and Mark Blakenbaker on the radio in the morning. They are the most negative supposed Louisville fans I know. Calling people peasants. Downing our commits. They need to be replaced

Fukuyama said it before I did, and Eric Hoffer said it long before both of us, in his 1951 book The True Believer.

Where is Melania Trump when Donald celebrates the death of Robert Mueller? Where is she when Donald calls Americans "vermin?" Where is she when Trump calls anyone who is a Democrat "the enemy?" Where is she when people on the right celebrated Biden having cancer? Where is she when Democrats in Minnesota were killed by a Republican?

Steve Kerr on his biggest concern about America Today “When I finished college almost forty years ago, if you went to school and got a degree, you could get a job and you could buy a house. Now that's out of reach for most people between student debt and home prices and the economy slanted toward the very, very top one per cent. We don't really have a middle class, and we don't have what used to represent the American Dream, which was: you can do better than your parents. We're going backward on all that. Our family is lucky. I'm in a position where my family can live well. But there are millions of people out there, young people who are looking at the horizon and saying, "I did everything I was told I needed to do, and I can't buy a house, and I can't chase my dream." Think about what that means for the stability of communities and cities and a whole country.” (Via @NewYorker h/t @warriorsworld )

The argument that criticism of Donald Trump somehow incites violence against him isn’t just wrong. It’s an inversion of reality so brazen that it demands to be confronted directly. open.substack.com/pub/steveschmi… Subscribe to The Warning at steveschmidt.substack.com.

In sum: the Trump administration shoveled millions of taxpayer dollars to a contractor favored by Trump, in a secret, no-bid contract at a price more than three times the estimated cost. In a different era, this would be a scandal. This is not that era. nytimes.com/2026/04/25/us/…

My family is hosting a fundraiser today for the Ryker James Foundation. In 2022, we lost my nephew Ryker just before his 2nd birthday. Since then, our mission has been simple: Help as many kids as possible get access to swim lessons and promote water safety awareness. If you can support, share, or stop by today, we’d appreciate it more than you know.

I would argue that a fundamentally bad person who tried to overthrow our democratic system and is running the biggest corruption racket in the history of the presidency should be opposed on all counts not just “when appropriate.” So call me a Nicene Creed Never Trumper i guess.

I’ve become more introverted with age. But it’s not that I like people less. It’s just that I have higher standards for the depth of connection that I want with people. And lower tolerance for the surface transactional relationships that have become so common.
