Extraordinary how many establishment Democrats really wish they didn't have a talented rising new star who connects to people by talking to them and understanding what their interests are, then speaking to those interests. Like a job where the new guy makes everyone look bad simply by doing the job.

Colts fan here β€” after watching yesterday’s game, I’m legitimately concerned that the Chargers are going to β€œAndrew Luck” Herbert.

Our pass rush has not looked anywhere near as threatening as yesterday all season. They need to protect him.

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.

This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

The top 10% now hold 67.4% of all the wealth in the US.

The bottom 50% hold 2.5%.

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC?

The heart of God breaks with every act of deadly violence; every life ended by another by greed, anger, envy, revenge, or retribution.

Blessed are those who mourn, and blessed are the peacemakers.

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political.

Two genders - male, and political.

Two religions - Christian, and political.

Two races - white, and political.

Seems like getting a warning or a ticket in a camera monitored zone will dissuade people from speeding in the future?

This has worked with me on 465 anyway β€” one warning and I was like β€˜oh they’re for real about these cameras now’

NPR and PBS received ~$85 million last year in federal funding.

Trump’s golf trips will cost taxpayers over $100 million this year.

Republicans think kids learning to read is wasteful spending and indoctrination, while giving a blank check to their cult leader to golf isn’t.

The fact people care about a "client list" from Jeffrey Epstein rather than restitution for his victims shows conspiracy theorists never about justice for these girls. They cared about weaponizing his horrific actions to "expose" their enemies.

Sometimes calls for prayer are sincere and sometimes they are an argument: a claim that this is God’s fault and our choices and policies have nothing to do with it.

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.

This is Washington at its worst.

We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

As a Pacers fan,

I think the Pacers are likely pivoting with Tyrese out all next season. Next year is an opportunity to develop young guys and try to get roster ready for Tyrese’s return so with Turner’s age I think it makes sense to let him go.

No rule or system that allows a few people to have all the resources for vanity and power while billions suffer and millions die should be respected or recognized; the rule is far more dangerous then ignoring it ever could be; the system is far more dangerous than replacing it ever could be.

Allowing Netanyahu to drag us into another endless war in the Middle East would be a catastrophic error by President Trump and Republicans in Congress.

Every lawmaker needs to ring the alarm against U.S. military action in Iran. Only Congress has the authority to declare war.
