“Laugher in the Rain,” presumably about the 1979 Chiefs-Bucs “Monsoon Game” that clinched the NFC Central title.

U.S. Olympic hero Connor Hellebuyck and #NHLJets resume NHL play tonight in Vancouver.

Is this even satire?

Go, already. Just... go.

Is anyone -- besides Bezos and maybe scattered right-wingers -- reading Washpost editorials? They get worse by the day. Boring, predictable odes to the wealthy class, far worse than the Wall St. Journal.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

You Can’t Kill Swagger My old corner of The Washington Post raised some of the best journalists in the business.

This piece on the killing of the Washington Post sports section by @sallyjenx.bsky.social is wonderful and gut-wrenching and infuriating. And, if you’re fortunate enough to have spent any time in this business, all too familiar. www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

"The Post, the Times, Axios, and Politico combined don’t reach 100 million monthly viewers, and that includes people who aren’t paying. Two hundred million was delusional."

This post by @parkermolloy.com is loaded. Read it.

The Washington Post - Opinion Little to gain by raising taxes on the rich New research shows the current top federal income tax rate is close to revenue-maximizing.

Truly hilarious headline from the Bezos-owned Washington Post yesterday.

Never, ever let the guys who control half the wealth in America and just got billions of dollars in tax breaks tell you we shouldn't tax the rich.

I used to be sad about what was happening to the newspaper I took great pride in for the 48 years I worked there. Now I'm just furious. Bezos did to The Washington Post what Trump did to America.

No. Commonsense reform is to burn ICE to the waterline and scatter the rubble so that all of us who value a constitutional republic with a Bill of Rights can prevent such a monstrosity from ever being constructed again.
And nothing above is hyperbole.

God, but you are not a leader for this time.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

No, seriously. The President of the United States is a pouting infant, a malignant, mentally unstable narcissist yelling at another country that he will go to war if he isn't given a peace prize.

And we all know this isn't yet bottom.

We're on the verge of civil war in Minnesota and world war in Greenland due to a declining, psychotic, unqualified, authoritarian weirdo -- but sure, news media, keep collapsing on your fainting couches over a mayor who said the f-word 11 days ago. Way to prioritize.

I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.

Right at this moment?

C’mon, Sam. Of all people.

House Democrats ask Trump administration if any Jan. 6 rioters are now working for ICE Nearly one year after the mass pardon of more than 1,500 Trump-supporting Capitol riot defendants, House Democrats are asking whether any of the pardoned rioters are now working for ICE.

What took so goddamn long?

We’re gonna have to update “The Hunt for Red October.”

“I will have a pickup truck or possibly even a recreational vehicle and drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?”

“Yes.”

“No papers?”

“No papers, state to state.”

The administration has released this latest image to bolster its case that the ICE agent felt threatened.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

I’m beginning to think things aren’t on the up-and-up at the White House.

Inside the New Fast Track to a Presidential Pardon Even some of the president’s closest advisers have been surprised by a number of the recent series of pardons.

GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
