Seeing people get excited about DOGE's findings is textbook propaganda. This info was always available, but certain people only care because it's being shared via a bullhorn and tailored to make a certain side is winning. Maddening stuff to watch play out and see how much we're all just sheeple.

This country is so cooked, man. Cashless society that wants to charge you 3% to use cards. That's on top of fees to get your own money out when you do need cash, etc. Very frustrating

Fair odds: Find an alternative to East Avenue in Ky. Derby prep An underlaid favorite in the Risen Star Derby prep means someone else will be worth betting.

Fair odds: @ejxd2.bsky.social looks for value in this Kentucky Derby prep.

I always have so much fun doing these @turfwaypark.bsky.social livestreams for @horseracingnation.bsky.social--especially when I'm five deep in a race and Mark tells me he likes two horses and I didn't use either of them youtube.com/live/SwJvhI4...

Any of my New Orleans / Fair Grounds friends been to McHardy's Chicken on Broad south of the track?

Sam F. Davis fair odds: Local horse is value play in Derby prep Ed DeRosa thinks a Tampa Bay Downs-based colt won't need a DQ to win the Sam F. Davis.

In this Kentucky Derby prep, @ejxd2.bsky.social believes the price is certain to be right on Naughty Rascal.

By the numbers: North America needs more Grade 1 races Top-level races attract the most handle, so Ed DeRosa believes there should be more of them.
