"Bucking tradition" is wearing white after labor day, this MFer is shredding the Constitution and tearing the Union apart.

Have any of the financial predictions from the experts come true in the last 7 years?
It honestly seems like few have.

Chappelle: Y’all are more free than we are

Riyadh crowd: Wooooooo

Chappelle: Like if I tell jokes about trans people at home people say shit about me

Riyadh crowd: booo

Chappelle: but you guys clap

Riyadh: [applause]

Chappelle: you see THAT’s free speech

Taking a noncontroversial Let People Enjoy Things position on the Taylor Swift record. Good to see people hyper-analyzing a new album, ranking songs, comparing it to old work. Every minute they do this is a minute not spent watching slop.

I see this not as some grand change in the morals of young men, just that "Jesus Christ, Steve wont shut the fuck up about his parlays".

Chuck Schumer, in an hour from now: The president plans to flood the streets with military personnel to oppress innocent people, but what he should be flooding the streets with is tax credits for the middle class!

oh ok fine fine they funded a little terrorism that we are still dealing with the fallout from 25 years later but they're not allowed to host a comedy festival???

I agree with you. I just wish the two people sitting atop congressional oppositional leadership had the ability to meet the moment.

Clear grounds for removing Trump from office. He’s sending America’s military against a domestic terror organization that does not exist fighting a war that is not happening. He’s gone completely and dangerously mad.

Absolutely no understanding of the situation.
This incompetence is a significant part of the reason Trump returned to power.

Joe Ryan has allowed 5+ runs in 5 of his last 10 starts.

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk.

The first offers were from
Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Shapiro says leaders have a responsibility to “speak and act with moral clarity” • Pennsylvania Capital-Star Shapiro said President Trump is “failing” the leadership test.

“During moments like this, I believe we have a responsibility to be clear and unequivocal in calling out all forms of political violence and making clear it is all wrong. That shouldn’t be hard to do,” Shapiro said during a roughly 25-minute speech in Pittsburgh.

Republicans turning Congress into an advisory committee is hilarious. Waved their pocket Constitutions around for decades and just decided "You know what? Nevermind."

The news that @charliekirk11 was shot is horrible. Truly hope he is ok. My fight to reduce gun violence is to benefit all of us and our rights to be free from gun violence. I would love to hear from others on the right who understand this and agree. Let's work together.

This is not some kumbaya “go high” shit. It’s me telling you when I’ve had a gun pointed at me—literally, not figuratively—it wasn’t the time to posture. Fascism’s guns are at the ready. Think before you spout off. Winning the struggle against fascism is what matters.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

There is no need to celebrate violence.

Waiting for a trea turner update

As a guy who got a cancer that was probably caused by a virus, I think we should have /more/ vaccines.

Oh my god.

Tom! Are we pretending Trump hasn’t been ignoring due process?

My wife is immunocompromised. I was very nervous about covering the protests.
However, I was also covering what were essentially outdoor food pantry events, outdoor political rallies of other stripes, as well.
Oh, and we went to little league games outdoors.

As someone who was covering * all of this in real time * I sincerely think Tom is being as selective in your memory as those you’re criticizing.
State and federal officials pushed for people celebrating religious services to do them outside. There were other similar issues, too.

Judge orders administration to halt deportation of 600 Guatemalan children A federal judge rushed an emergency hearing in an effort to get the government to comply with her order to halt the deportation proceedings.

Breaking news: The Trump administration grounded planes carrying migrant children that the White House intended to deport to Guatemala after a federal judge issued an emergency order temporarily blocking any removal of about 600 unaccompanied minors.

Also, if Dems ever have control of Congress again, I assume they will compel Rob Manfred to testify about the "deal" he struck with POTUS?

Very curious to know how secret deals with the president jibe with MLB's anti-trust exemption.
