The guy who can't make it into the Baseball Hall of Fame because he used steroids.
Trump: "Tonight I'm announcing that Roger Clemens is being given the single highest award along with the Medal of Honor"
If Democrats win, johnson will not be speaker at the point where they are swearing in the new Congress. They are sworn in by the speaker elect, who is chosen by the member elects
Sen. Thom Tillis says he expects there will be pressure on Mike Johnson to not seat the new Congress if Democrats win
The "SI" thing is was intended to provoke this exact sort of sniveling response from the courtiers, to train the oligarchs to humiliate themselves for Trump so they'll do it again later when it really matters.
BAIER: The president says 'SI.' Are you into SI or AI? BEZOS: I do like SI, because 'artificial' is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener, artificial flavoring.
Yes sir, quadruple down on this sir. Every single day until Election Day four times a day sir. I implore you with muscular manly tears in my eyes sir.
Trump: "Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles on the way. You want to see a horror show? Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles. You want to see some bad things happen?"
Ell — and I cannot stress this enough —Oh Ell.

Damn, she must tell that story quite a bit because that response was loaded and ready to go.
Susan Collins is showing just how out of touch she is. “I spent a whole year without health insurance…in ‘94” That was 3 decades ago, Susan, when insurance was $1500 annually… Thanks to Susan’s vote that helped pass Trump’s murderous budget bill, premiums are $1500 a month now for some folks.
The rule is: If you have talent, you have to focus on that talent instead of offering opinions on politics. If you don’t have talent, opine away.
Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.
Inside Trump's Plan to Fence Off a Historic Protest Site (Gift Article)
The president’s proposal to enclose a park in Washington could alter how the space has been used for generations.

Would love to hear the rationale of how this is under ICE's purview.
BREAKING: ICE over the past year investigated hundreds of nonprofits across the U.S. that help people register to vote. The internal documents, obtained by the Democracy Forward, showed that ICE's investigative arm also contemplated sending undercover agents to investigate the organizations.
John Cornyn deciding to burn the entire party apparatus for the audacity to back Ken Paxton is quite funny to me.
awesome ad-buying deep dive by @iarnsdorf.bsky.social — the campaign ad rate edge, and all those early buys by the talarico campaign, is just bonkers www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
the big challenge for Republicans is that their most motivated voters are ideologically hostile to any message that might win an election
MLB sped up the game with a pitch clock and then got back to three-hour postseason games by inflating ad breaks.
Sometimes I think about what the Russian Revolution would've been like if social media was around and I'm pretty sure the Trotsky and Stalin camps would've been at each others throats before the Czar was actually defeated.
“Is Barack Obama good or bad” remains a really useful “touch grass” heuristic
Just wait till the folks in this photo get legacy admissions next generation. The right will be against merit and “relational” standards.
It's absolutely bonkers to me that this image led directly to this tweet.
congratualtions to every news outlet that wrote a "trump actually to pay for ads himself, says Trump" headline. Don't print lies in the newspaper
Q: When did you decide MAGA Inc. will pay for the taxpayer-funded ads? Trump: Uhhh, there's no reason for 'em to. We have a lot of money in MAGA Inc., we are using it for other candidates
Straight up stealing a public space.
Dictator Move of the Day.
I’m torn between hoping It Happens tomorrow and It Happens 3 years from now when he’s watching that gold statue on top of his arch get exploded live on cspan by a button pushed by the demolition lottery winner, a first generation nicaraguan immigrant
if this fucker is going to spite us and live past 90 like his dad did he should at least get to experience the rest of us tearing his legacy down around his ears
damnatio memoriae is the right thing to do with trump for many reasons and at the top of the list is the fact that it will make him so, so angry
Trump spends “a ton” of time worrying about future efforts by Democrats to tear down Trump-branded public properties. @swin24.bsky.social & @andrewperez.bsky.social explain how Trump's forcing officials to brainstorm legal arguments for institutionalizing his cult forever: zeteo.com/p/de-trumpif...
A Kavanaugh Kidnapping-and-Dumping-in-a-Forest
4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.
Imagine how fucking rotted a person's brain has to be to submit a 50,000 line pull request and not perceive that what you are doing is *incredibly* embarrassing and antisocial. A vibecoder can no longer notice they're greeting people by spraying hot dogshit all over the place.
I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.
Are they just straight up copying an Apple/Google like phone packaging?
You'll be sorry you missed out on the fancy iPassport box:
