Give a moment or two to the Arsenal fan with a beer in his mouth and a scarf in his hand. And he listens to songs by The Clash and The Jam and he's telling you what he thinks of Tottenham. (1/2)

Well, my name is Mike, and there are mean Rogers I would trust in the Senate. Will Rogers. Roy Rogers. Fred (Mr.) Rogers. Steve (Captain America) Rogers. But not Mike Rogers, nor any other Republican by any other name.

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

Oh yeah, it's an Arsenal matchday. A preseason friendly, but still a match. It's in Dublin, so Arsenal have the home advantage. LOL

🚨 Tonight's game will now kick-off at 7.45pm (UK) due to Real Betis being delayed by traffic 🚨

So lovely to hear Liam Brady talking about MLS & Max!! ❤️👏🏻⚽

Story of many many Americans lives.. the medical stuff shouldn’t be political But somehow that has become Toxic too????

Well done. I can now hope he wins without holding my nose. Zohran, you're on the clock. If he can say it, you can say it.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

They nominated an 85-year-old Irish soccer legend?

John Giles did more than half the Dems did to try to help Kamala Harris win so I’m a bit more forgiving about him being Hobbs’ Lt. Gov pick.

This mutherfucker is law and order against ethnic people, but his 34 felonies and civil payment for sexual assault don’t count.

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

(I think you two are arguing the same thing. Antisemitism is wrong in all cases. It’s rank bigotry. And remember, the Nazis didn’t check for political affiliation, they just tried to kill us all.)

Of course, no source. We can presume that this is more anti-Israel propaganda. Netanyahu is scum. But he's not the one who started the war. And he's not the reason Trump started a war with Iran.

Weird how all the election fraud keeps being perpetrated by… republicans.

We previously found that Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.”

Why are they all adult gamers? I stopped playing video games in my early 20s.

No, you are not stating facts. You are stating opinions. Very, very stupid opinions.

Michael Flynn got paid by the Russian government to do anti-American propaganda, got paid by the Turkish government to conspire to break US laws, and now got paid by the US government for helping cover up a hostile anti-American foreign intelligence operation, ensuring perpetrators got away with it.

🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏

It was always a greedy fraudster, wasn't it?

dan@amerkincynic.bsky.social · last mo.

Uses his bio to call himself a "fetid moppet." Well, in that, at least, he was telling the truth.

Hamas cares how religious someone is. Just as the Ayatollahs, al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Taliban do. Your entire thread is a goddamned lie. Is the Arabs who did the occupying, for centuries, of land that belonged to the Jews. Sit your lying anti-Semitic ass down, punk.

Well, for one thing, since 1986, the Mets have not won the World Series. So that's an improvement.

So this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary

What was the point of trying to find a good restaurant in the city? You could get killed in the process. Then came the Crime Bill. Written by Representatives Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin, and Senator Joe Biden. And signed by President Bill Clinton. Thank you, gentlemen. You saved our cities.

Kim McCauley@kimischilling.bsky.social · 17h ago

In the 1990s, there were several large major metropolitan areas in the United States where it was impossible to find restaurants serving authentic ethnic food from anywhere other than western Europe. This is utterly unfathomable in current year. You can find amazing Thai food in country shacks.

Dumb Donald is SO dumb! How dumb IS he? Until 2017, he thought the Tariff was the guy that Eric Clapton shot.

FOX: What's your big message on the economy? TRUMP: Tariffs have been incredible

I love it! But the next time, they should get The Count! "For it's one! two! three strikes, you're out!"

Ballgame over! Yankees win! Theeeeeeee Yankees win! 2-0 over the St. Louis Cardinals. Great pitching, including a great start by Ryan Weathers. Home run by Jazz Chisholm. Home run by George Lombard in his major league debut. Hit it, Frank! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUrU...

Actually, this is all Trump's fault.

The best measure of how America is doing isn’t the stock market, or GDP growth. It’s how well most Americans are living — and right now most are struggling.

They even had his pants on fire. Well, his diaper, anyway.

Iran's latest.

Trump acts like every criticism is a personal attack instead of a normal part of democracy. That's the problem. Public office isn't about protecting your ego—it's about serving the public. Leadership without accountability is just performance.

Drop some trains? Too late. The Montparnasse Derailment, Paris, 1895. Incredibly, only 1 person died as a result of the accident, a woman on the street below, named Marie-Augustine Aguilard, and not from the train itself, but from masonry falling from the station's facade.

Drop some trains

I love Cory Booker. I've voted for him. In 2020, I thought he was too nice to take Donald Trump on and win. I'm enjoying Angry Cory Booker. And not just because he reminds me of Keegan-Michael Kay as "Obama's Anger Translator." He is an expert lawyer making a great case.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.

Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and now RFK is on TV telling everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.

No, I don't remember it. I've heard about it...
