bessent trying to do on-air retail politics is like watching me trying to explain offsides to my cat

what an absolutely baffling response

we've had, like, extensive and detailed and confirmed reporting that we're paying millions for this

Trump: “The very complex and expensive structure, being built for the Military, at the White House … Also rising is the desperately needed Ballroom, something which former Presidents have wanted for 150 years, which sits under the elevated DronePort, and is paid for by Patriots — No Taxpayer Money!”

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

i always forget that if a post escapes containment, it will be inundated with replies of people explaining my own joke to me or, alternatively, huffily answering as if i am sincerely lauding the denizens of the Trump admin for their worst behavior.

lotta people weighing in with their feels as Big Ball Knowers on how WNBA players would fare against hypothetical male squads showing their whole ass here by not knowing that W teams have had all-male scrimmage squad opponents for years.

oh cool so you created 5 million new jobs for those people right?

Rollins: "For those who love work and celebrate work and want people to work and not be on food stamps, it's a pretty big win when we've moved 5 million people off food stamps, y'all."

Good lord I wish some of you could read on this text based social media website.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

what if i told you that this is how taxes work

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

stripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive

Patty Murray and Chuck Schumer decide to strike a “bipartisan” deal with … checks notes … Susan Collins to fund the Trump regime through December which appears to not to any include any safeguards against Trump’s meddling with midterm elections.

Jesus Christ I am so tired.

Trump: Have decided a punishment for Canada on wildfires , but won't say yet

this is an extremely weird unit of comparison

Elizabeth Warren@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social · 3d ago

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding at Madison Square Garden? $30 million. The amount special interests have spent against @abdulelsayed.bsky.social in the Michigan Senate race? $60 MILLION. Twice as much to try and buy one Senate seat. It’s the many vs. the money. Vote for Abdul.

Sophie Cunningham and Riley Gaines combined for three points and one rebound in 23 minutes during the Lynx 108-100 win over Indiana. During most of their time on the court, they stood in the corner looking for attention without much success.

“you knew i was abusive psychopath for years and didn’t say anything about it until it got into the news” is not exactly a persuasive defense, though it *is* a common one

Max, good lord

Caitlin Flanagan was a prominent Atlantic staff writer for 25 years. Explain to me again how the Atlantic is a serious-minded, left-center publication.

Sure hope that 3 points off the bench from Cunningham, lol, is worth it to launder anti-trans bigotry into the W, Indiana Fever. Terrific work all around.

Die mad, you shitass bigot losers.

WWWWWWWWWWINNESOTA LYNX

We did it you fucks.

Would give that ref a substantial sum to explain how exactly Phee just committed a foul there. Like, show your work you garbage person.

Lynx got 2 minutes to beat the Fever and the reffing and the league front office lfg

This reffing is unhinged. Even by shitty WNBA standards.

“We will let the other team box your shooters up and refuse to call a single foul, but we will then immediately call a shot clock violation” - WNBA refs today with the helping hand for the Fever.

I see it’s time for the traditional ref assist against whatever team is playing the Lynx.

Of course. Rancid finds rancid. League should be coming down on this like a ton of bricks instead of tenderly protecting transphobe “fans”

come on down and claim your "i did donald trump favors and i got stabbed in the back for the trouble" t-shirt, gulf state oligarchs, we set up a whole supply chain and warehouse network for these things, they're always in high demand, drop shipping couldn't keep up with it

Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 3d ago

Behind the scenes, Gulf countries are frustrated with what they see as a lack of a clear strategy from the U.S. as the war drags on, subjecting their territories to frequent Iranian attacks, people familiar with the matter said.

WNBA refs be WNBA reffing (extremely derogatory)

Love the reporter asked Miles about going against Clark and she was just like, "yeah, it's fun going against good guards. Kelsey Mitchell is killing us"

Being a parent is pretty tough, but it's all worth it for that moment, every once in a while, when you get to take your kid to the city to see a marching band and say, "Will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?"
