With the vast majority of their Stanley Cup core already under contract, there is zero reason for the Carolina Hurricanes to succumb to a wild, inflated free-agent market where deals are bound to age poorly...

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself, in all cases, as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave, is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies. Man has no property in man; neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow. The parliament or the people of 1688, or of any other period, had no more right to dispose of the people of the present day, or to bind or to controul them in any shape whatever, than the parliament or the people of the present day have to dispose of, bind or controul those who are to live a hundred or a thousand years hence. Every generation is, and must be, competent to all the purposes which its occasions require. It is the living, and not the dead, that are to be accommodated.

the way it works is that if i say, "i'm a black american," sam alito thinks that is "dividing people up by race." but if someone says, "get that jigaboo out of my country," alito thinks, "looks like nothing to me"

Alito authoring opinion saying fixing a racial gerrymander is also racist and then musing, 2 hours later, during oral argument about Trump's racist effort to end humanitarian protections against deportation for Haitians, about how he doesn't like dividing up people by race I loathe this man so much

Please keep hammering this. It's an obvious and effective message that plays widely, especially with low-info voters.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

Inside Ken Paxton’s plea deal for a child sex abuse case

Critics are pointing to two other serious felony cases that the attorney general’s prosecutors took to trial that ended in mistrials and, eventually, plea deals.

Based on that Kaplan report...sounds like the play is resting Freddie completely without question, leaving zero doubt it's Bussi's night. And now he's got 1-0 lead to work with 1 minute into the game.

"Talarico is a vegan." "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Uh, well, Talarico says God is nonbinary or something?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Um, Talarico is, uh, low T?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Talarico is going to institute sharia law!" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile."

Kaine: "The administration is refusing to allow members of this committee to see the OLC opinion stating the legal case for war. We've always that ability. We're being asked to fund a $1.5t budget. What are they hiding?"
