Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

EPMD.

Second thought is that scene in The Five Heartbeats where Eddie King (not “Kane”) Jr. says that a crossover ain’t nothing but a double cross…

Six years after Breonna Taylor’s death, America is weakening the rules that could have saved her | Jamil Smith Following Taylor’s death, the US limited no-knock warrants. But the Trump administration has quietly rescinded those limits

Six years ago today, police killed Breonna Taylor during a no-knock raid at her home. She wasn’t even the target of the investigation. Now the Trump DOJ is doing away with the rules meant to prevent another tragedy like hers. My latest for @us.theguardian.com.

A chart titled "Tan suits."

In the "Ours" column, there is a photo of Obama's tan suit.

In the "MAGA's" column, there is a photo of Jake Paul speaking at Trump's rally. He is extremely sweaty and looks disheveled.

🤔

You need to talk about politics with your kids. Don’t wait until some special age. There are age appropriate ways to prepare them for life. Trust that the opposition starts indoctrinating their kids early and continuously.

You know RFK Jr will be coming out in the next month to say Americans should be walking and biking more (MAHA!) in response to higher gas prices.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Nine-year-old kids who grew up to be grown adults complaining about how much the prequels "sucked" were absolutely not thinking about Vietnam when they went to see the early movies. That ain't the memories they were conjuring while watching Jake Lloyd walk around the desert with Liam Neeson.

Now, a functional non sycophantic media would be on his ass considering that they wouldn’t STFU about inflation when a Democrat was in the White House.

But y’all know the deal.

On another note, Stevie Wonder could've seen THAT coming on THAT show. Didn't make me enjoy it, or this season so far, any less.

The "83*" discourse on social media today has the potential to be some of the most obnoxious and semi-entertaining hot sports taking in the history of mankind... and I'm definitely glad I don't watch ESPN anymore...

If you're a real ball fan, you better not entertain ANY finger wagging/lectures from sports analysts/journalists/anchors about how much you must really "hate fun" or that you're supposed to have a classy, cap-tipping reaction to this unethical-ass 83-points...
