things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

U.S. men's hockey with Curt-Schilling-in-Boston levels of good will squandering. A 25-mile lead in the good will marathon and they tripped on their dicks right at the finish line.

“The flag that flies when an American athlete wins a gold medal isn’t Donald Trump’s flag. It’s ours. The anthem that plays isn’t Donald Trump’s song. It’s ours. If we refuse to celebrate what’s great about our country because of the people trying to ruin it, they’ve already succeeded.” Amen.

Sports are the god damn coolest thing on the fucking planet, man

I’m so proud of these dudes whose social media content I will never, ever check

This is good, but I'm still requesting that he excommunicate Vance

It's the freakin' weekend, baby, I'm about to listen to some podcasts and watch movies

This really is a great picture:

Yes we absolutely can

X post from Samantha Croston: "NEW: The Syracuse Mets will make a name-change announcement later this week, GM Jason Smorol said. He added “Salt Potatoes,” the most-submitted name of 5,000+ entries, was not chosen, in part because it’s already used for an annual promotional weekend."

What's the point of owning a minor league baseball team in Syracuse if you're not going to call them the Salt Potatoes?

Demoralized Democrats Have a Road Map for Success in Trump’s America. It Was Written by Jesse Jackson. Jesse Jackson first ran for president during the national farm bust of the early 1980s. Debt for farmers had exploded from $85 billion in 1976 to $216 ...

RIP Jesse Jackson. no mere post could suffice, so I will instead ask everyone to reread this, one of my favorite @jamellebouie.net joints: www.slate.com/articles/new...

I know a lot of people still like to draw a bright line between movies and television, but you simply cannot fully measure Duvall's greatness without taking in all eight hours of his work as Gus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Treat yourselves if you can.

RIP to an absolute legend.

“It ain't dying I'm talking about, it's living. I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.” - Gus McCrae, Lonesome Dove, played by the great Robert Duvall. ❤️

republicans mad at hot latinas dancing on the TV can you fuckin' imagine

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

never in my life have I heard a narrative about a team so desperately wanting to hold on to a coordinator during a coaching search like the noise about the Browns and Jim Schwartz right now. it's bordering on parody

Pope Leo’s Top U.S. Ally Says ‘No’ to Funding ICE Cardinal Joseph Tobin calls ICE a “lawless organization” perpetuating a “machinery of death” and urges Congress to defund Trump’s deportation force.

One of Pope Leo XIV’s top U.S. allies, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, is calling for the defunding of ICE.

Echoing the pope’s moral warnings, Tobin says the “lawless organization” is perpetuating a “machinery of death.”

John Mitnick @JohnMitnick I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department. I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty. Impeach and remove Trump—now. George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Schumer press release "Leader Schumer Statement Announcing Senate Democrats Will Not Advance Appropriations Bill If DHS Funding Is Included New York, N.Y. – Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer released the following statement on the appropriations bill following the shooting in Minnesota: “What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling —and unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no. “Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.”"

🚨 JUST OUT from @schumer.senate.gov ▶️ "“Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included."

Now we are going to need him and every one from Sen. Dem to hold the line.

"abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved" is the moderate position

My hot take is that at minimum a domestic violence conviction should carry a lot more of the shame and restrictions of a sex offender; it should ban you nationally from gun ownership, jobs in law enforcement, schools, pretty much any public sector work. It’s our clearest red flag for future violence

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels.

Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

There's one foolproof way to gauge whether someone is a millennial or a zoomer: Ask them how they learned the difference between Iceland and Greenland.

If the answer is from D2: The Mighty Ducks, you're talking to a millennial. Otherwise, zoomer.

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.
