I owe an apology to every author and screenwriter I ever doubted when I said, “come on, no one would actually do that!” Because apparently, people do. Regularly. Constantly. Spectacularly.

Austin FC, MLS's lowest-scoring team, scores twice in the first half against D.C. United, which is giving another abysmal performance at home.
"Sell the team!" chant picks up in the supporters' section.
Booing at the halftime whistle.
Hopeless.

Why is Trump so hell-bent on defunding PBS?
It’s part of a larger plan – one where he can control not just what we do, but what we think.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

The so-called “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” remains an egregious attack on vulnerable people, and your representative needs to hear that you want a NO vote from them. 🛑
Your urging to vote NO could make all the difference. 👏

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

So much packed in this tiny clip, but when he said "I don't like it when it's demeaning to women....." I heard every woman in America ever offended by something he said or did say "WTAF?!?"
Trump wraps his speech on the big bill: "Schumer - our great Palestinian senator. He's changed. He used to like Jewish people, now he's totally against Jewish people. Try the weightlifting numbers some day if you want to see big differences. In a million years women will never catch these numbers"

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
