I agree. But in my view a clear eyed assessment must admit where he fell short.

Alex Anúzita@alexanuzita.bsky.social · 15h agoAnd the RRRs regularly indulge in their cancel culture demands. It’s a buzzword they’ve managed to weaponize in one direction. And the country keeps falling for it.
Seth Abramson@sethabramson.bsky.social · 6d agoKeep in mind, as you read this take from Tim Robbins about how "cancel culture" is overtaking America and is synonymous with Communism, that THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES has raped or sexually assaulted at least 60 women and been convicted of 30+ felonies with no consequences whatsoever
The required threshold will certainly NOT exceed Hegseth’s, no matter how low his is.

How about if we just revert to a more balanced tax system like the USA had before Reagan helped make neoliberalism the economic North Star?

I have think people put far too much faith in the Constitution. It is, and always has been, just a set of documents, and documents on their own mean little. It is up to each generation to give them meaning. Vance, Trump, Johnson and the rest of the RRRs don’t care about what it meant in the past.
AnneC@annecw.bsky.social · 4w agoOne party of our two parties has abandoned the Constitution. We are in a very dark place.
Trump takes advantage of suckers. What a surprise.
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · last mo.... A Trump business entity also collected a 75 percent cut of sales of $WLFI, after the deduction of certain expenses, guaranteeing that Mr. Trump would profit, even if the coin’s price ultimately crashed.”
People’s takes on MLB owners vs players in the looming labor dispute are interesting. Some seem to side with players because they hate billionaires. Others side against players because they don’t like players that get big contracts, while ignoring the billionaires.
Keith Law@keithlaw.bsky.social · last mo.the MLBPA didn't set it up - the league and union collectively bargained this structure.
Mayer went from being sick to having a good game after IKF was scratched. Funny how things turn out.
Tim Healey@timbhealey.bsky.social · 2mo agoChecking in with Rob Refsnyder, Tommy Kahnle shares his World Cup experience, why Isiah Kiner-Falefa was scratched, and more in this Red Sox notebook: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/19/s...
“If citizens feel they are trapped in a zero-sum scramble for ever-scarcer resources, it is hardly surprising when they turn their anger towards those they have been told are taking too much.” This is the issue. Our economics are broken and not keeping up with change.

Pity the Red Sox didn’t mount a challenge in the 9th. Would have been a great crowd with the game on the line.

Sounds like yesterday’s Red Sox game would have been a great experience.

Maybe they can help Kristian Campbell of the Red Sox next? Still don’t understand why the Red Sox hitting development is so poor.

Bolton retains classified info and goes to jail. Trump keeps it in a bathroom and nothing. The rule of law is dead in our country and you can’t have a democracy without it. Who knows if either can be saved.

No doubt Iran s/n have a nuke. But then neither should Israel. Trump was full of hubris after Venezuela which made him easy to manipulate by Netanyahu’s government.
Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.gov · 2mo agoTrump’s illegal, reckless and expensive war in Iran is driving up costs for families and small businesses everywhere—and there’s no end in sight. Trump himself said yesterday “I don’t care” if negotiations to end the war are over. Ridiculous. End the war. End the pain on Main Street.
Roberts complains about his court’s unpopularity. Blames it on reactions to decisions. That’s part of it but those decisions reflect: - A biased court that has been unfairly constructed by the GOP; - Refuses to adopt an ethics code; - Has clear conflicts of interest; - Has corrupt members.
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · 2mo agoThoroughly agree with Mike here. We need a strict code of ethics—frankly, the strictest—for the highest court in the land.

Unusual Whales@unusualwhales.bsky.social · 2mo agoBREAKING: Look at this. $DELL just won a five-year $9.7 billion Pentagon software agreement for the US military. But Trump also bought $DELL. He bought multiple times since February 10th, up to more than $5,000,000. On May 8th, he said: "Go out and buy a Dell." Unusual.
Got an EOB in the mail today. I paid $6, my insurance paid zero. The EOB had 7 sheets of paper in the envelope. Healthcare in this country is absolutely stupid, but the incumbents like it that way.
