Many say character doesn't matter when you support teams and individuals a la Aaron Rodgers. I firmly disagree and it has pushed me away from the Steelers and reaffirmed my interest in the #Penguins. Prince Mbuyi is yet another example of why who you are matters and should matter to every fan.

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

Sen. Ossoff: There's something uniquely despicable about lying a nation into war, treating citizens as fools and the selfless patriots who serve as pawns. 5 months later we're still bombing. Americans are still dying. Iran still has its uranium. Hormuz is still closed. A war built on lies

It's one thing to honor the sacrifice of fallen service members. And it's common rhetoric to declare that they died for a worthy cause. It's the Platonic ideal of malignant narcissism to just stand there shamelessly and put words into their dead mouths.

Sports Illustrated caught the boos for Trump.
At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

Trump is now a day trader profiting from inside information from this other thing he does - pretend he's the leader of the country. Everything has become about monetization for him/his family. It's why he wants to stay in office forever. It's how he becomes really rich. bsky.app/profile/chad...
