This is authoritarianism, flat out. No questions asked. You could also call it coercive federalism, federal overreach... oh wait! What was the Republican party so scared of every single time a Dem was holding a significant office?

Video shows Department of Justice official urging Jan. 6 rioters to 'kill' cops The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

OK. Short field TD drive. No matter. Go ahead and give Pat the rest of the night off.

Republicans have broken every rule and norm to erode democracy and hurt the American people. They can shut the fuck up about Texas Democrats blocking quorum on their gerrymandering scheme. I’m not interested in their feckless bellyaching.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Idk if the Steelers and the Broncos are slated to play this upcoming season, and I'm too lazy to check, but if they did, it is quite feasible they would play a 17-16 game.

this Rockies win was one of the most ridiculous MLB comebacks you’ll ever see. they were down 9-0 in the 1st!

“The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive attack on knowledge itself, a war against culture, history, and science,” @adamserwer.bsky.social wrote in May. “If this assault is successful, it will undermine Americans’ ability to comprehend the world around us." https://theatln.tc/HxwwbaTF

"What is going here?!"

"He kissed me, man!"

Russia = Scut Farkus
Serbia (in this instance, but more often Belarus) = Grover Dill

This town is only slightly smaller than Ben Tre was in 1968, when the US military likewise reduced it to rubble.

An anonymous US Army major famously told the reporter Peter Arnett that "it became necessary to destroy the town [in order] to save it"

Wow. It would seem that it just came on suddenly. Will be eager to hear more, assuming he and KU are willing to divulge additional information.

Man. I just watched his recent chat with Andy Katz, and I'm pretty sure he hinted at how much better he was feeling, especially when it involved doing the job. Now this just days later?

Well said.

If a high school can commemorate a good, not great season like that, then Circle High School should make ones commemorating the 2010 season. It would say:

2010 Circle T-Birds
Overall Record: 5-5
Jordan Phillips was on the roster

Four losses... and a commemorative souvenir cup!

Found this at my wife's grandmother's place in Louisiana. She has no idea how she ended up with the cup. No ties to that school.

Of course everyone knows HS FB is king in Texas. So much so that I discovered that a 3A school in 2017 won its district, and made souvenir cups commemorating the season. A season in which this team went 10-4 and was knocked out in the state quarterfinals.

Remember when scholars of authoritarianism told us he would go after his political opponents, unions, academia, and the media and people were like, “But Tim Walz got the date wrong from when he was in Tiananmen Square?”

Those 8 years when the state was being bled dry and going broke, becoming an embarrassment on a national stage? Yeah, Ty, let's go back to that bullshit.

"Because liberal Democrats have governed in Topeka for 15 of the last 23 years, especially the 4 years Laura Kelly was in alignment with Joe Biden, that promise has been broken,” he said.

Recall those 8 years in between those LIBERAL governors? Yeah... when Kansas became known as Brownbackistan.

In another article, he blames what he calls “liberal Democrats in Topeka” for what he sees as a sharp decline in the state’s quality of life. Okay, Ty, which party has the supermajority in the state legislature for several years now?

He's proud of his record, which includes banning diversity programs in higher education and limiting transgender care for minors. Yeah, things that people should really be proud of. 🙄

He says too many people are leaving the state, a lazy, blanket term. Some places, mainly larger cities, are gaining population. Those who are leaving are leaving from rural areas. Guess which party has been running those areas for decades?

Anytime a politician seeking a higher office says something like "We're going to take back (place)," it's NOT GOOD.

I would say this man is “single handedly” dismantling our democracy…but he is supported by MANY accomplices, including but not limited to SCOTUS, R’s who won’t stick their necks out, the press, and—obviously—the White House.

Trump Releases $1.4 Billion He Withheld From After-School Programs More than $5 billion for education remains frozen.

1. Good that Trump releases $1.4B
2. He must release other $5B.
3. Thanks to Kelly & other Dem govs & 10 GOP senators for helping get this done.
4. Absolutely NO THANKS to Kansas' GOP congressional delegation which did nothing.

Ken Burns calls public media funding cuts 'shortsighted,' but vows 'we will continue' Congress is moving toward revoking a billion dollars in already approved funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the entity that steers funds to public media stations. William Brangham…

"We're all in a bit of a state of a shock and, also, sort of reeling at the shortsightedness of it all," filmmaker Ken Burns says of the public media funding cuts. "This is such an American institution trusted by people across political divides, geographic divides, age groups."

Cost of Obamacare expected to soar as subsidies expire and insurers hike premiums People who get their health insurance through the Affordable Care Act could see increases of more than 75% each month, one expert said.

Trump is stealing from the sick to give tax cuts to the rich.

People who get health insurance through the ACA will pay 15% more in 2026. The largest increase in seven years.

Billionaires get special treatment. Working people get screwed.

Hoarder neighbor decides NOW (9:30 pm) is THE time to get out the mower, after it rained no less than 3 1/2 inches this morning. Now another neighbor's dog (who will bark at the breeze switching direction if let outside) is aggravated.
