Just constantly saying it out loud - retweeting it even! - and people still want to ignore that the whole thing is a white nationalist movement?

Illinois lost to Ohio State (1st) and Indiana (3rd) and already has the win that would clearly be Notre Dame's best win of the season (USC at home).

I understand the broader context, but it continues to just cave my brain in that they're declaring it thoughtcrime to criticize a dead podcaster. Like, he wasn't even a government official or religious leader or something actually important, he was just some prick with a webcam

It's amazing to think about how we got here: The delusional mad king was watching Fox News b-roll, thought it was a current event, and decided to invade Portland--and now the entire MAGA movement is trying to turn Trump's delusions into reality.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 8d

Trump's tweet that Portland is "war ravaged" just backfired. A Trump-picked judge cited it in blocking National Guard deployment to Portland, declaring him "untethered from facts."

On the pod, Oregon AG Dan Rayfield illuminatingly explains the ruling and what's next:

I genuinely don't understand how Democrats can negotiate to fund the government under these conditions and it is why they should have made addressing recision and unconstitutional withholding of funds the key issue of the shutdown even if not as sexy or popular as subsidies.

In a conversation with Cathy Engelbert, Napheesa Collier noted that Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers and other young stars are driving massive revenue for the WNBA, but are making so little from their rookie contracts.

The commissioner's response, per Collier:

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

Great time to be a fentanyl dealer because all the guys who are supposed to investigate and prosecute you are going after doordash drivers and moms instead

Despite Trump's promises to take a tougher approach to drug enforcement, even high-priority cases have stalled as a result, four officials familiar with the cases told Reuters. One prosecutor said a fentanyl investigation he supervised was at a standstill because the agents who were leading it had been ordered to focus on deportations instead. Another official said investigations of drug rings have been delayed.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 16d

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

Something like $18 million of taxpayer money so Trump could hang out on the first tee for an hour. Cool cool cool

Brendan Quinn @bfquinn.bsky.social · 19d

If curious, Trump has departed Bethpage and returned to Air Force One, per WH pool reporters. Had heard some rumblings that he might emerge on the course as the pairings made the turn, but that will not be the case.

His visit to the Ryder Cup consisted of an hour on the first tee.
