Claire McCaskill, on site @ Obama Center opening, when asked by Nicolle for her reaction (paraphrased)....... To be honest, I found myself asking how the hell does this country elect these two men.....the same country......how? Claire speaks for 10's of millions of us
Talarico: I was required by law to report any indication there was abuse at home, and I would hope that the top law enforcement official in Texas would be held to the same standard as a middle school teacher. Ken Paxton had the opportunity to protect a child, but instead he protected a predator
Today a commentator said something like “DEI has almost become a bad word.” To whom? Reporters and pundits INSIST on letting right wing talking points be the default.

it's remarkable how like, you can visibly notice how people who still use X regularly are either getting dragged to the right (if on the centre-left or centre) or just getting more toxic in general

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others
They might not be looking for it, but they keep choosing it. I see the value in appealing to “better angels,” but the issue I have with kumbaya in politics is that it lets too many intentional bad actors off the hook. Too many suffer while we wait on “better angel” conversions.
The TRiiBE@thetriibe.com · 2mo agoHappening now — Former President Barack Obama takes the stage with a very pointed message about the current political climate under Trump. “I do not believe that is the story of America that prevails in the end," he says. thetriibe.com/2026/06/live...
President Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities, who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look out for their neighbors and, sometimes, look out for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do."
Give Mayor Mamdani and his team a lot of credit for organizing a world class event to celebrate Knicks NBA Championship and a wonderful moment for New Yorkers and Knicks fans.
Vance is just Trump without any of the charisma. He has zero juice. His lies are lazy and easy to disprove. He’s boring as fuck. He’s going to get destroyed in the primary by a Republican electorate that’s addicted to the drama of Trump.
Having AI answer companies’ calls feels disrespectful. Companies want your business but don’t want to talk to you.
Y’all know the average person doesn’t know what the Treaty of Versailles is, right?
The closer we get to elections, the less people should be posting Trump's attacks on Democrats. He doesn't lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated. Let's try something else this time!
The Knicks belong to New York City. And this championship belongs to the people who waited 53 years for it. That’s why we’re giving away 600 free tickets to Thursday’s Championship Ceremony at City Hall following the ticker-tape parade.
I love this. The Obamas honoring Nancy Pelosi with a garden in her name is so well deserved. Without Nancy Pelosi, there would be no Affordable Care Act.
this whole "interviewing coaches midgame" thing is more American sports bollocks that needs to fuck right off.
Women make up nearly 50% of the NFL fan base and make 60 to 80% of household purchases. It would be so easy for us to tell the NFL we’re boycotting until they get their shit together when it comes to violence against women. But for some reason, we just never do it.

"Nate Bargatze can support Trump. Nate Bargatze can attend Trump’s White House UFC party. Nate Bargatze can pose for photos with political figures. What Nate Bargatze can’t do is all of those things and then pull the ‘I’m not political’ card like we’re all f—king idiots.” parade.com/entertainmen...
Nate Bargatze Faces Fan Revolt After Showing Up at Trump's White House UFC Event

The "hydration break" really is a perfect American capitalist innovation: a nakedly commercial play to insert more ad revenue into a game that doesn't have ads anywhere else in the world, all under the guise of some humanitarian interest in the players' wellbeing.
I need to reassess my TL because there’s way too much Tr*mp. Some of you need to take a break from documenting his daily inanities.
