The left: we want the Epstein files The right: we want the Epstein files The center: we want the Epstein files Trump: best I can do for you is Fauci’s diary, some lies about the reflecting pool, and a failed war in Iran
So, Mr. Fetterman is on CNN trash talking Dr. El-Sayed. Get ready for Mr. Fetterman to join the GOP in t-minus 10, 9, 8....
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
Picked up my new hearing aids. Holy CRAP!! I guess these critters do wear out (It's been 8 years). Wowzers! What I had lost were the 'overtones." So, bells could sound like beeps. It's all about. Bonus? My balance is instantly better too! YAY!
Cheryl Reeve *IS* the best coach in all of basketball. Being an "upstander" in a time of state-sponsored anti-trans bigotry and violence, is everything.
I think this is the fastest anyone has ever won my unconditional loyalty. It’s official: I would run through a brick wall for Cheryl Reeve.
Another reason to LOVE air filters. They distract from the whine of my tinnitus. #winning?
UEFA has given FIFA President Gianni Infantino an ultimatum: resign or face a no-confidence vote, The Telegraph reports . It says all 55 members would back it. Only 43 votes are needed.
The most powerful man in the world persecuted an Olympian to flatter his delusions.
The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj

Once you recognize it, you can't unhear how he talks like a wifebeater.
Trump: "We're gonna hit them very hard. I can actually say that because there's very little they can do about it. They've already apologized. But we've gotta smack them a little bit."
Great article (gift link) from @jamellebouie.net on Musk's racism being largely indistinguishable from themes in The Turner Diaries. And I think Musk gets a pass because lots of folks in the media agree, in broad strokes if not specifics, with what he is saying.

Divider @adamcrai.bsky.social: “Why are my tax dollars being spent to dress you like this? You’re in New Jersey, not Gaza!” Rep. Tom Kean Jr voted for this, so NJ7 New Jerseyans who want ICE OUT, please vote for @rebeccabennettforcongress.com #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited
Donald is struggling to stay awake. Keel over motherfucker!
Black kids protecting their Latino neighbors from ICE
