Every time the Mad King says "bases" it shows up on the baseball feed. Decided to enjoy it

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

You could be the guy to compile and update a list of promises to fix all the things DJT and DOGE and Miller etc. have broken. How will you fix food prices, housing, health care, the environment, ICE, the Supreme Court? Will you bust up tech monopolies, hire back experts, restore Green incentives?

I want to see someone prepare and update a fix-it list of concrete, detailed promises for when we take power back. Rehire experts fired by DOGE? Restore environmental protections? Disarm and depopulate ICE? Our Project 2026...

Forcing us Mets fans to listen to Yankee broadcast is a diabolical sales tactic but it's working -- Gary Keith & Ron, where are you when we need you?

A fun thing is to get to the part where he says β€œthis is not who we are” and imagine a certain type of person on here trying to pull a β€œum actually that’s who we’ve always been read a book for once” to his face

Someone -- maybe Democrats? -- should be compiling a list of promises, with specific planning details, to reverse Trump's evil acts once his power is taken away. In no particular order, ecological degradations, DOGE firings of experts, and ICE spring to mind but the list is long.

Here's hoping the regime's stupidity and incompetence ensures that every service member gets Kelly's message that it is their duty to refuse illegal orders. The video might've been a one-day story had it been ignored by Hegseth's ilk. Could be important around election time...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Borowitz: β€œAnyone who thinks this administration is going to run out of assholes any time soon better think again,” Miller told reporters. β€œWe have a very deep bench.”

I think he can just make it. Here's how. First, step on a vacant seat (not yet occupied; ask to board early). Place second foot on armrest. Next, and this could be tough, while placing hands on overhead rim, lift foot from seat to top of back rest, push off it and pull self in. Mission accomplished.

As someone who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it), let me tell you something:

The lies Trump, Vance and Miller say are not meant to be believed by their followers.

They are meant to be REPEATED.

The repetition of the lie is the test of loyalty to the cult.

really fucking important to realize that greg bovino is getting fired not in spite of there being no riots, but because there were no riots

OK, choosing between Phils and Mets he went for the money, arguably. Though he might think Mets are on the rise, Phillies on decline, it's possible, though I don't necessarily agree.
But do you know something about Jays I don't?; who jilted, who was jilted in that situation?

Presumably no fine for the teammate who was standing next to him in the postgame interview going on at painful length about how his God was a Texans fan, or something.
No mention was made of the eyeblack message, of course.

I was shocked and disappointed by her lightning-quick (lawyer-written?) nose-wrinkling. He seemed to make a pretty fair moral summary of Miller's argument that might makes right, if you can't defend yourself, you're fair game.

"Trade is not fundamentally about competition. It's not us versus Canada. It's us and Canada." It's really about cooperation. And if the United States won't cooperate reliably with Canada, we shouldn't be surprised when Canada looks for new friends to cooperate with. And Americans miss out.
