I’ve followed his career since he was my mayor. You’re right, he’s definitely a mixed bag. He’s got a lot of Bill Clinton in him. Both good and bad.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

I'm in the Bay Area, and our new franchise the Valkyries hit it out of the park. Made the playoffs in their first year and sold out every game. Tons of support in the community already.

The major men’s professional sports pay approximately 50% of league revenue in player salaries. In the WNBA that figure is less than 10%. That’s all you need to know.

Dear Canada. Do not let this happen. The Trump Administration is a cancer.

First @timothysnyder.bsky.social moved from Princeton to Toronto. Now Mark Bray is trying to flee the country. The experts on fascism are fleeing. Fascism is here and consolidating power by the day. Republicans are Nazis. End of story.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
