When children are starving to death, you do everything in your power to feed them.

It’s not complicated.

Feed starving kids. No matter what.

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

How Jason Sudeikis & ‘Ted Lasso’ made a T-shirt created by a JoCo teacher famous Jason Sudeikis is a childhood friend of Brendan Curran, who created the BBQ mashup T-shirt made famous by “Ted Lasso.”

Fun story: I was with Jason and Brendan at Tanner’s the night Brendan first gifted a few of us these shirts.

DK and I saw “Ted” wear it on the show and said, “Wow, Jason is an awesome friend!”

Yep

This home run derby swing off to decide the All-Star game is exciting and it reminds me that every American deserves healthcare and cutting Medicaid for millions is morally wrong.

LIVE: Trump PANICS after Iran LIES EXPOSED + NYC SHOCKER YouTube video by MeidasTouch

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the fallout from Trump’s Iran strike as new CNN reporting casts doubt on whether the targeted facility was actually destroyed. They analyze Trump’s meltdown over the report, his shifting rhetoric on negotiating with Iran, and what it reveals about his broader

If a major leap in Iran’s WMD program was imminent, I’d support action.

But if this were the case, Trump would’ve presented evidence and easily secured congressional support from a lapdog congress that would let him bomb Indiana.

His refusal leaves me skeptical proof exists.

If evidence existed of nukes, it would’ve been easy for a GOP President to convince a GOP Congress to authorize force.

We’ll never know if evidence existed, but now we’re at war with a country that never attacked us right next door to the last war we fought against a country that never attack us.

#ThunderUp #LFG

I’m full of distrust for Russia yes.

LIVE: Trumpers TURN AGAINST Each Other as WAR BREAKS OUT YouTube video by MeidasTouch

Lindsey Graham said, “I’m willing to risk what happens next” regarding the possibility that USA would go into Iran war with Israel on #StateTV propaganda network. Seriously? @jasonkander.bsky.social & Ravi Gupta of Majority 54 on @meidastouch.com discuss this & more. www.youtube.com/live/TJFSavo...

I oppose war with Iran, but I can’t get excited about Tucker Carlson opposing war with Iran.

I’m against it because I’m against unnecessary war generally and because it’d be bad for America.

Tucker is against it because he’s gone full Russia flack and Iran is Russia’s middle eastern foothold.

A whole lotta people who were in favor of war with Iraq but now pretend they opposed it are suddenly in favor of war with Iran and I’d like them to skip years ahead to the part where they’re against it but this time I’d like to skip the part where we get into an unnecessary war.

Happy Father’s Day to the baseball and softball dads.

I would support Trump’s birthday military parade if the troops were encouraged to sing original marching cadences authored by E-4s forced to take part in the parade.

My friend Jon Morosi of MLB Network is in town for the Royals-Yankees game tonight, but last night he hung out with the KC Hustlers! Was a blast having him in the dugout talking baseball. He’s good luck too. We won both games of a doubleheader!

What’s a movie or tv show set in the Midwest or south (or a character from either) that irritated you because it felt like the writers/filmmakers either didn’t understand or were making fun of / looking down on the heartland?

Timely.

Elon just told us he spent hundreds of millions in support of someone he believed to be a pedophile.

Love the candor from Jason Kander on MSNBC this afternoon! Great job explaining the foolishness of Hegseth’s boat renaming @jasonkander.bsky.social!

LETS FU*KIN GO!!!

Never back down to a bully—especially when the facts are on your side.

Republicans talk a lot about Medicaid fraud to justify their cuts to the program. But they never want to admit where the fraud is *really* coming from.

This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave the last full measure. And we recommit ourselves to building a country worthy of their sacrifice. At VALOR Media Network, we believe that America’s promise isn’t broken…it’s unfinished. And it is worth fighting for. 🇺🇸 ❤️
