If Republicans took 10% of the time and effort theyโ€™ve spent covering up the Epstein files towards working on a healthcare plan they might be able to put one out for the first time in decades. But clearly covering up Epstein was more important to them.

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

My Steeler thoughts three weeks out from the opener.

Hard to get a firm grasp on what the offense might look like but it's also very difficult to imagine it being much different than it's looked for most of this decade. Expect a lot of 17-13 slogs.

big beautiful bill. not so beautiful in reality, tho. bottom 20% worse off. not huge change for people up to 6th decile. still 1.5% or under though all the way through the 9th decile. it's really on the top 10% who are the winners.

on the left, clinton's 1993 deficit reduction bill. goated, peak performance. absolutely enormous tax increases on the rich while helping the poor

on the right, trump's "big beautiful bill." terrible, poor get poorer while rich get richer, significantly worsens fiscal outlook. garbage-tier bill

Dearest Pittsburgh, please consider stepping up with me to be there for WQED. This isnโ€™t an ad. I have no relationship with them. They didnโ€™t ask me to ask you. I simply refuse to let Mister Rogersโ€™ TV home fade away, especially not due to a funding cut โค๏ธ

Several items on Declaration of Independence list of grievances against George III also apply to Trump today, most notably on immigration, trade, and deportation without due process. Like King George, he is "unfit to be the ruler of a free people": reason.com/volokh/2025/...

While the rest of the world, especially China, continues to invest in the modernization of their electrical grids with clean, renewable energy technologies, our dipshit dumbass and his moronic cult are taking us back a century to near complete dependence on coal and fossil fuels.

I saw the first base umpire point in the direction of another ump. I thought there was a call. But maybe the first base ump had no idea either. At least Falter is pitching well.

Cruz should have been looking at the umpire for the call.

On 6 June 1944, while Americans were fighting at Omaha Beach, Canadians were fighting at Juno Beach. Our brothers, who fought and died by our side โ€“ who helped us defeat Fascism, are not our enemy. They are our true friends. Canadians are our brothers and sisters and I stand with them 100%.
