A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayalβ€”not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧡

We can watch Stephen Colbert as long as his show runs on CBS and then follow him to his next media platform. Otherwise, CBS can survive if it just runs sports and low brow entertainment.

Our family will be at Citi Field that day trying hard to give the #Mets a lift. Hopefully, by then the team will emerge from its slump and be back in first place in the National League East. Let's go Mets and new Met Cedric Mullins. #LGM

Staggering U.S. Tariffs Begin as Trump Widens Trade War

The United States is about to enter a period of #stagflation, triggered by the #Trumptariffs. Stagflation occurred during the 1970s when interest rates were in the neighborhood of 12% and unemployment was very high. Those on fixed incomes will feel real economic pain. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/b...

Dom Smith reminded us why we really loved him as a Met. He worked his butt off coming up through the Mets system. Unfortunately for him, along came Pete Alonso and there was no room for both of them to play first base for the Mets. We wish Dom all the best. #LGM #Mets

Is that a sufficient reason for why Mullins did not start? In his press conference Mendoza did not name Mullins as his starting center fielder on a regular basis. Isn't it obvious that the reason the deal was made is that Taylor just doesn't hit? #LGM Something doesn't add up here. #Mets

Uncle Steve can send a private plane to bring Mullins to Laguardia. Don't tell us he can't hit against lefties. #LFGM

Live Updates: After a Weak Jobs Report, Trump Says He’s Firing That Agency’s Commissioner

#Fulamerica Fully understands and is totally perplexed about what the Fulham recruitment staff is up to this summer. #FFC #COYW #Fulham As for the Mets, we are very happy with the trades bringing in 3 reliable relief pitchers and an upgrade in centre field.

A President through control of the Federal Bureau of Prisons has great power to punish (i.e. Michael Cohen) or coddle (i.e. Maxwell) Federal inmates.

Happy Birthday to Jerry Garcia! His job was to shed light, not to master. Let’s keep that light burning & carry his music wherever we go. Thank you, Jerry, for the endless magic and song. Because of you, and this beautiful, ever-growing family, we will survive.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West."

Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about.

In fact I know you do."

Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?

Hopefully, the #Mets sent Friday night's starting pitcher on ahead to San Francisco a day or two ago so he is not jet lagged. That has been done by coastal teams before and just simple baseball common sense. #LGM

It's not only the DOJ files, the Treasury has files on the rivers of money paid to Epstein by wealthy people blackmailed by Epstein. Senator Wyden shined a spotlight on this evidence. #Epsteinfiles www.kptv.com/2025/07/17/o...
