Everything Trump Touches has claimed another victim (check back on this fatalistic post in a few hours).

For a bunch of people who want us to believe they went to a lot of Sunday School, they have long since abandoned any sense of shame.

We Boomers got our Springsteen halftime years ago, and most of us have gracefully ceded the show to You Kids. Besides, it’s on too late at night to get too hepped up about. 👨🏻‍🦳

In other words, about a million people in Arizona have to continue with NO voice in the US House. Because this petty tyrant struggles every day to find new ways to abase himself.

House Republicans haven't shown up to work in 18 days. But if they do decide to show up—I have a message for them.

3/4s of the families that rely on the expiring health care credits that you refuse to acknowledge live in red states.

Time to show up and do your jobs.

Indeed, Tigers-Mariners will be on FS2 as well as MLB Network.

Jason Beck @jasonbeck.bsky.social · 1d

This rain delay might be a good time to locate FS2 on your cable or streaming service just in case. Just saying.

The grounds crew at Comerica is pretty good at coping with wet grounds, but you are 100% correct that neither team should have to burn a starter if another storm rolls in later. Delay is prudent.

Cause of Death: Severe burn.

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro 1d If you're at a dinner and somebody introduces himself as "Dr. Smith," you'd be rather upset to learn that he had a doctorate in musicology if you were to suffer a stroke at the table.

Evan Williams @evanwilliams... 36s

If you were at a dinner party and someone introduced themselves as "Ben Shapiro," you'd be rather upset to be at that dinner party.

Check out Crash Course. Many good series that are quite engaging and discussable.

90 years ago, UAW Local 14 was founded on the simple but powerful belief that when working people stand together—when they insist on respect, fairness, and dignity—together we can move mountains. As a daughter of the UAW was happy to join them this week to honor that legacy of solidarity in NW Ohio.

America enters a new, dark chapter: "Kavanaugh Raids" on entire buildings and neighborhoods, a chapter surely to be remembered as infamously as we now view the "Palmer Raids" of the first Red Scare. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...

Welcome to the Era of "Kavanaugh Raids"

ICE crosses another big, important line.

One thing to remember: Trump may have criminal immunity for official acts but Hegseth doesn’t….

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup.

It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.
