Patrick Mahomes disputes Tommy Tuberville’s Texas Tech recruitment claim after Trump flub β€œLooking forward to cheering him on this weekend when I join President Trump at the Super Bowl," Tuberville said.

This is really rich. These guys are two peas in a pod who simply can’t tell the truth. Tuberville just makes up a story about recruiting Mahomes and Trump lies about Tuberville being a β€œgreat coach.”

Inside Trump and Musk’s Clumsy, β€˜Exhausting’ Hunt for Leakers Trump, Musk, and their allies across the federal government are trying to snuff out a geyser of press leaks with bullying and snitch networks.

Trump & Musk have discussed placing β€œspies” in gov’t offices to root out anti-MAGA sentiment so gov’t employees can’t inform Americans about the ongoing coup. (And some fed. employees are using Reddit to get news on what’s happening in their depts.) [rollingstone.com]

fucking hate the fact that american news outlets decided to parrot russians and are reporting that two russian figure skaters died in the DC plane crash when actually the married pair has been living in the states since 1998 and their now orphaned son just placed 4th at the US national championships

Update: one of my Trumpy co-workers whose husband is a Fed Employee who just lost the ability to work from home was crying in her office and telling someone that once he officially returns to in-office she has to give her 2 weeks notice to stay home with the kids

In 2020, Trump tried to ban TikTok.

He cited one of his reasons was "retaliation for the China virus".

He tried to force a sale to American Oligarchs. He was overruled by a federal judge.

In 2021, Biden revoked Trump's EO banning TikTok.

When Trump comes in acting like the hero who saved TikTok, never forget that he was the one who wanted to ban TikTok in the first place! He is solving a problem that HE CAUSED

Also the *clearly american* guy who just called me mispronounced both the street and city name for my address, so he was off to bad start.

Donald Trump is a liberator for the forgotten man, if by "forgotten man" you mean the world's most entitled, least vulnerable person and by "liberation" you mean "giving him permission to be the worst version of himself"

Gabriella Papadakis, who will soon publicly debut
her new partnership with Madison Hubbell, publishes an essay that not only discusses their new artistic project, but is effectively a manifesto for change in this sport. A must-read, in our opinion: gabriellapapadakis.substack.com?r=btww&utm_c...

1) a full global trade war, a pandemic, bombing the cartels... all quite likely to affect you whoever you are.

2) if you feel like this is true for you, congratulations: you are very well positioned to help the millions for whom it's not, since you'll be less occupied with dealing with the changes.

I think January 6 will always be a somber day for me, one during which I reflect on the fragility of American democracy. Despite the framers' (both the original ones and beyond) best efforts, our institutions cannot independently preserve it.

Slow-motion replay of Wakaba's 3Lz in her free skate at the Grand Prix Final...

Correct outside edge on take-off.
ZERO pre-rotation.
Superb technique.

1000th reminder that you don't need some kind of personal Blocking Policy that conforms to First Amendment jurisprudence or even vague notions of rights of expression. You can just block people for being fucking stupid or mean or annoying. It makes everything better if you do tbh.
