The best ground and pound.

Johnson is trying to fuse together 218 votes with the unusual combination of a huge debt limit increase, deep spending cuts and Trump's wish list on tax cuts.

Say this out loud to yourself.

Actually fucking pathetic. We're beyond fucked. Not a single one could be stopped.

@brandonfriedman.bsky.social just a heads up, this is fake and didn't happen at the presser. Dude just wrote a fanfiction.

Russian recruiting ads found their targets. Unfortunately those morons are running the country.

So dumb

actions taken, to me, and indicative of two things.
1) Gross incompetence.
2) Intentional sabotage (treason).

Who fits in what description will vary by person I imagine.

Reducing costs in ways that do not hinder the established operations to a meaningful degree is a good idea.
There is a bloated bureaucracy that could be streamlined and made more efficient.
None of the actions taken to date demonstrates steps being taken to accomplish those goals.
The current

Someone with the primary concern of eliminating wasteful spending wouldn't shut down agencies without reviewing the information to determine if/how much of the spending is wasteful (wasteful should be defined clearly), root out any fraud that actually is found, and eliminate redundant spending.

Dana White's free speech absolutism, Canelo's growing empire | Ep. 130 We take a look at the latest announcements for Canelo's 2025 fights, as well as Dana White's stance on free speech.

On today’s episode of Hey Not The Face! @crooklyn.bsky.social and I discuss Canelo fighting Paul, Dana White’s position on free speech, and why Bellator stars keep asking for their release from the PFL. heynottheface.substack.com/p/dana-white...

FACT CHECK: Canada has already announced this plan BEFORE Trump announced his tariffs.

Rear leg front kick followed by a step up lead leg high kick.

Hi everyone, if you could RT this or whatever they call it here and help me find my mutuals (or just get me followers, I don't care, I'm shallow like that) that'd be great.

This isn't me saying Figueiredo is a fighting genius.
This is what the result of endless rounds of training does.
It's not brilliant in fight reads generally. It's hard work in the gym manifesting in the fight.

Figueiredo leaned on the side of the crossface.
Made it harder to direct his weight over the knee tap side.

Just thought this was a nice display of defensive grappling.
A tactical positional retreat with prepared defenses waiting.

Yan tried to secure the knee and use the crossface to off-balance Figueiredo.
Figueiredo essentially used a modified "technical standup".
Posts on the free hand, underhook side framing.
Brings back the free leg, creating more space.
Steps back with the controlled leg.

Figueiredo got the underhook.
Yan sprawled with a cross face.
Figueiredo scooted that butt back as far as he could get it while retaining the underhook.
Underhook acted as a frame throughout.

Without control of the upper body, the hook became relatively useless.
Figueredo shifted his hips as Yan postured, and turned into him.
Yan tried catching the hand as he turned.
Potential options available to him if he did secure it.

This small detail changed the dynamics of the spot.
Despite being in the dominant position, Yan didn't have any real control or anchor points to keep Figueiredo in place.

Laura Sanko correctly noted Figueiredo exposed his back to escape. Quite a common tactic these days, especially against the fence.
Yan immediately inserted the hook.
Figueiredo may have exposed his back, but he also kept control of the top side hand.

I like this sequence a lot.
It isn't flashy, but there's nice details that should be noted.
A little defensive grappling 🧵
