Democrats: figure something out very quickly, get everyone on board, and start campaigning for President NOW. Have this person in the news cycle, pushing back and presenting a clear, service-based platform most working people will get on board with. Get it together and start NOW. #Election2028

As a TV director myself, I had my suspicions. There's no way the supportive uproar we heard could have even materialized that quickly for how quick the shot was and how a natural "reaction delay" occurs through live stadium mics. Question: was this a Fox decision or were they ordered to by the WH?

Can we claim Donald Trump as a dependent on our tax returns?

BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs has CANCELLED SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING because it includes considerations for the LGBTQ+ community.

Veterans suicide.

Project 2025 isn't real, they said. It's "Democrat" Party propaganda, they said.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

Broadcast journalism 2000 grad, here. Felt sick as the Telecommunications Act of 1994 opened the floodgates for unlimited ownership; saw the mass radio buy-ups ruin the industry I was ready to enter. It literally made me give up big-market ambitions and focus more locally; good move, in retrospect.

We are the party of FDR. He left us this "famous" blueprint to continue our fight for every worker, every home, every family and every school. Our path to achieving these things will not be easy, but if FDR were here, I don't doubt he'd go after Citizens' United and money in politics first.

I'm a college-hoops guy! Always will be! But... I'll watch the 4th quarter of an NBA game if it's close.

The only acceptable "airport announcement" is your departure from Xwitter. I'm now cruising at an altitude of "above the toxicity", through Bluesky. Let's have a good flight!

"Controlling what you can control" sometimes means enjoying movies on your couch and eating candy bars.

You're all caught up.

Did you validate your e-mail? Mine fixed when I did that. P.S. Even Brett Lawrie has a place on Bluesky.

I stopped even *watching* years ago, for many reasons. The CTE report, mostly. But: "judgment calls". They ruined the game. And with only 17 games, one awful call can change the scope of a season. My time is better spent elsewhere!

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say β€œYou know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!
