My small hometown has a group fundraising for phone cards for ICE detainees at the local jail. It would be awesome if we could surprise them with a bomb of support. Please give what you can and/or RT this post. givebutter.com/AbideSteGen

Springfield's own! None of this surprises me! There is a reason Johnny Morris is a billionaire but the city doesn't ask anything from him. Also, they suck to work for.

You'll never guess who wrote this one, so I'll just tell you: it was me. Learn about MLB's very 1990's hesitation at allowing Japanese money near America's national pastime, Nintendo's partnership with Ken Griffey Jr., and their long-running relationship and fascination with baseball.

In the '90s Ken Griffey Jr. was as much of a Nintendo icon as Kirby, Link or Samus. As the Seattle Mariners play deep into the baseball playoffs, we look at the team's long history with Nintendo. www.endlessmode.com/article/nint...

This dipshit cleaned toilets in the Navy and got his start in media literally holding up a sign that said “r*pe Melania” at a protest a decade ago to incite a reaction. Most of the people in Trump’s orbit are dogshit, but this guy is particularly malignant and should be nowhere near the White House.

O'Neal is pushing "The Post into video podcasting, according to people familiar with the matter, aiming to launch a show hosted by Megan McArdle next month and a flagship program in January. The marquee show, I’m told, will be helmed by O’Neal himself."

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Missouri Independent @missouriindependent.com · 1d

The proposed constitutional amendment set to go before voters next year would ban nearly all abortions, with limited exceptions for medical emergencies and survivors of sexual assault. #moleg #mogov

Judge approves ballot language for amendment reinstating Missouri abortion ban • Missouri Independent

Attorneys continue to argue the ballot language for the proposed amendment does not clearly state that it will ban abortion.
