The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I just visited Naval Station Great Lakes that Trump is letting DHS use as they prepare to invade Chicago.
The Navy cooperated and took the time to answer our questions. Trump’s DHS locked the doors and fled. That’s not how you act when you’re doing something legal.

The new Pope is the total opposite of Donald Trump. Pope Leo is a decent, moral man, defender of social justice and fluent in English.

You guys know they change their names when they become Pope, right, so we'd never get Pope Pizzaballa. They'd change it to something boring, like Pope Lasagna Jones.

MORAN: What does it (the Declaration of Independence) mean to you?
TRUMP: It means exactly what it says; it's a declaration of unity, love and respect and it means a lot. It's something very special to our country.

#WomensHistoryMonth salute to baseball exec Kim Ng, who in 2021 became the first female GM in Major League Baseball history. Won 84 games her final season leading the Marlins. Team plummeted to 62 wins without her. That’s 22 wins above replacement if you’re keeping score at home.
