What would you name him ?

@TimRyan @MLFootball You forgot Mike Ditka

Cradle of Coaches! @MLFootball

@TheAthletic Absolutely no doubt about that. No gold medal without Hellebuyck

Connor McDavid picked up another MVP award in a losing effort, this time becoming the Men's Olympic hockey tournament's most valuable player. But did the fact that voting took place too early rob Team USA's gold medal goalie Connor Hellebuyck of the honor?

@JonahDispatch You're going to have to better than that.

FWIW I think this is nonsense. Maybe aspirational nonsense, but nonsense all the same.

@millinerd @jennfrey Well maybe it is. But God didn’t build it

Stunned to learn in the #Olympics2026 commentary that the Milan Cathedral was built to show us "everything humanity is capable of." Up until now I had thought it was about God.

@connor_beem MY favorite part is becoming an expert in a sport about which I knew nothing after watching for 20 minutes. Then I ably critique someone’s performance with my new knowledge—could have held that a little bit longer—and then put my hand back into a bag of chips

My favorite part of the Olympics is watching something insane in a sport I know nothing about just to hear the announcers say “oh that’s disappointing”.

@pastormarkburns And of course he didn't. What do you think Christ thinks of his behavior. And what do you think he think of yours?

@pastormarkburns Hey, here's a question. Did he--he himself-- apologize? Because if any word of what you just typed were true, he would do that. Right?

Statement on Video Depicting the Obamas I just spoke directly with President Trump regarding the offensive Obama ape video that circulated online. The President assured me clearly and unequivocally that he did not post it. He understands the painful and racist history in America of depicting African Americans as apes, a tactic long used by white supremacists to demean Black intelligence and humanity. He knows this is wrong, offensive, and unacceptable. The President made it clear to me that this post was made by a staffer and not by him. My recommendation to the President was direct and firm. That staffer should be fired immediately, and the President should publicly condemn this action. This kind of insensitive and racist communication does not reflect the heart, values, or leadership of the President of the United States, nor does it represent the America we are striving to build. Historically, the intelligence of Black Americans has been questioned and attacked in shameful ways. From the era of slavery, when enslaved Africans were falsely portrayed as inferior to justify bondage, to the Civil War, when Black Union soldiers were often denied officer ranks despite bravery and leadership, to the Jim Crow era, where racist pseudoscience compared Black people to animals in textbooks, cartoons, and propaganda. Even into the modern era, these same ugly stereotypes have been recycled to undermine Black achievement, leadership, and dignity. Racism must be confronted, not excused. Accountability matters. And leaders must always speak clearly when lines are crossed. #SpiritualDiplomat

@tedcruz Seriously?

A brazen abuse of power & an insult to democracy. 47% of VA voted Trump. They will now get just 9% of the seats. 52% of VA voters voted Harris. Now they get 91% of the seats. (By comparison, in TX, 56% voted Trump; GOP gets 79% of the seats.)

@Acyn The fact that people continue to support this moral troglodyte fills me with rage and despair

Trump on Epstein Files: Now that nothing came about me—I think it’s time for the country to get on to something that people care about. Collins: What would you say to the people who say they haven’t gotten justice? Trump: You are the worst reporter. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile. Collins: I’m asking about survivors Trump: You know why you’re not smiling? Because you’re not telling the truth. Your dishonest organization should be ashamed of you.

@EssexFal @thedispatch @aziz0nomics You’re ignoring his point you know. Trump once again shows that he is all talk.

@thedispatch @aziz0nomics Did you want to invade Iran? We know how that works out. It’s a tragedy that these people have to live under the regime, but that was decided in 1979. Like China, Russia, theres only so much we can do.

"After Trump promised that 'help is on its way,' for the U.S. to do little or nothing creates the impression of a weak president talking tough and then shrinking from the consequences." | @aziz0nomics thedispatch.com/article/trump-…

@bendreyfuss Well, one thing for sure: we should not be doing nothing.

I think that murdering 30,000 of your own citizens in 2 days is too much and that we should go in and kill the leaders of Iran. Just my take.

@JonahDispatch That's why Marxists went to the 1844 manuscripts. They might not say so, but that's why.

This. Marx’s Labor Theory of Value is a hot mess. I don’t think it’s even an economic theory technically speaking. It’s an overstated moral critique that was only superficially plausible at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

@mattyglesias @JoeFedorowicz @brianbeutler A good politician can do both. Has to do both

Like clockwork from ⁦@mattyglesias⁩ ⁦@brianbeutler⁩ you had to take him to task more strongly on the “we shouldn’t care as democrats that people are dying let’s talk about affordability” take. You’ve never been more right on this show.

@connor_beem That's my boy!

How can you not feel empathy in this moment? The whole world is watching. The future is watching. Be someone your children can be proud of. Speak up.

@EJDionne It's an ill wind that blows no good. Even if that wind is idiotic.

Last year, Trump helped the center-left win elections in Canada and Australia. His Greenland misadventure seems to be doing the same thing now in Denmark.

@EliLake Agreed. But if that is so, why is the West so silent? Doing and saying nothing?

The fall of the Islamic republic is not only necessary for Iranian self determination. It will also be an important step for achieving peace in Gaza. It’s a blow against global terrorism and will help discredit the toxic ideology of political Islam.

@Jim_Jordan Usually good to offer evidence or argument when making such a radical claim. But since you have neither, I guess baseless shameful aspersions will have to do. You must get used to it after a while.

Jack Smith’s sole motive was targeting President Trump. Purely political.

@StevenBeschloss The proud delusion in these replies, the absolute refusal to see what is inescapably true, the happy abandonment of everything that America used to believe in, fills me with despair and rage.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.
