Big revisionist history talking about the reason Baltimore didn’t get to keep the Browns name/records/etc.

Ok… so… there’s a lot to unpack here…

this is so incredible I can’t stop laughing because he forgot to include Reagan

Spoiler alert: they will all go along with this. When he's gone they'll claim they had no choice but to comply, but that's a lie - they all want to be part on the in-group that profits from his corruption.

Holy shit — the purpose of this Trump event is to announce that he’s changing the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” It will be interesting to see which if any institutions and companies go along with this

Ohio Dem Gov candidate Amy Acton says she will back ICE cooperation. Meanwhile, a beloved Haitian pastor was arrested in Springfield, Ohio. paydayreport.com/ohio-dem-gov...

Welp… there it is. This thread nails it.

The famous people I’ve cared about when they died was because they genuinely seemed like good people, not due to their art or productivity. Be a person people will genuinely be sad is no longer present in the world.

Quick thoughts on the Browns announcing Deshaun Watson is their starting QB

AP needs to delete this & the article. It's just incorrect There is still another injunction in place that blocks Trump's mail in ballot restrictions, & there will be another one put in place this week, probably. This is very bad, but the court has by no means "cleared the way".

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 5d ago

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has cleared the way for President Trump's executive order restricting mail-in voting ahead of midterms.

Also: Kushner has no government position. By talking to him Jeffries is endorsing Trump's illegal use of Kushner as a public official and Kushner's own rampant corruption in that role. It's absolutely unconscionable and shows just how little Jeffries understands and appreciates the moment.

If you think this can be reformed, I don't know what I'm supposed to do with you.

💥 ICE drag mom & teen daughter out of hospital room—in middle of being treated after car accident. Still wearing hospital gowns. Both victims of car collusion, with asylum case pending in good standing & valid work permit. Grace Calero 39, & Giulianna Carriel 19, from Ecuador.

I disagree with him on fans booing, but it’s good leadership to say it

400 library workers begin their strike Monday after endless months of trying to negotiate with management. Already the anti-union propaganda machine is calling the library workers entitled. The LIBRARY workers. You don't staff the desk at the free stuff store because you're greedy.

Good job by the few fans there to boo Watson

Catch the ball?

A QB that didn’t melt down after a holding penalty brought back a first down?!

You ever think about how Trump and Biden (yes, both of them!) are responsible for policies that have generated a 148% increase in the infant mortality rate in Cuba since 2019?

Privacy experts are correct. We never asked for this shit as a society, & we don't want it. Mass surveillance of the sort done by Flock & companies like it are anathema to the idea of a free society

NPR@npr.org · 7d ago

Dozens of cities have canceled their contracts with Flock. Some are switching to other companies, but privacy experts say they're no better than Flock. n.pr/3UN4P4G

That seemed like an easy drive

USCIS can now deny an application outright for a missing document, with no request for evidence first. A green card case can end over a missing marriage certificate and no chance to supply it. documentedny.com/2026/08/17/u...

A new USCIS policy lets officers deny immigration benefit requests immediately if the required evidence was not filed.

Really excited about Cavs bench lineups this year. I know people think depth got depleted but I see it as giving a chance to the young guys to take on strong roles and develop as cogs and future beyond Harden-Mitchell. Proctor-Thomas-Tyson-Tomlin-Mobley lineups could be crazy fun

1 down 179 to go

Cavs addressed needs and created optionality for pivoting if they need to

An ad to call and THANK Husted?!

What would have happened to all of that money in 08 if that plan went through?

Ken Paxton spokesperson endorses privatizing Social Security

it was a generational fumble for the dems to pull back on letting coach tim, our gentle midwestern uncle, stand in front of a mic and express disgust and bewilderment at what an absolute grab bag of misfit freaks this admin is. this is weird! these people are fucking weirdos!!! it’s yucky!

Trump aide Natalie Harp spent a summer sleeping in the locker room at Trump's Bedminster golf club to remain close to him after she was denied a room.

Thinking about what events I’m adding time for this year that are outside standards but pertinent to history…

Watching Mighty Ducks with the kids and realized that Terry Hall has an anti-apartheid button on his jacket when Bombay shows up to the pond the first time and they drive on the ice…
