I'm funding a launching a new cat show in which I'm the judge. I hug each cat, tell the owner their cat is perfect, and then we all hang out and talk about our cats.

Auston Matthews walks into the gaudiest Oval Office in history to meet the worst president in the history of the U.S., Donald Trump - a man who has been found guilty of sexual assault, and who is very credibly accused of multiple instances of pedophilia.

Auston Matthews walks into the gaudiest Oval Office in history to meet the worst president in the history of the U.S., Donald Trump - a man who has been found guilty of sexual assault, and who is very credibly accused of multiple instances of pedophilia.

Auston Matthews said, “I don’t like to get political or get into that kind of stuff,” and that Trump’s casual misogyny about the women’s team was “unfortunate.”

It would be “unfortunate” if Leafs fans get “political and stuff” on Saturday and boo Matthews into oblivion when he steps onto the ice.

ICE is struggling to keep pace with vetting new hires during its historic recruitment push, so it's hiring officers before completing standard checks.

The agency fired five people after belatedly finding that they had outstanding warrants for their arrest.

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)

These are not serious people or good faith actors.

Pulling this shit while the president extracts billions for his family and is currently demanding taxpayers give him $10 billion is pretty goddamned rich.

That's a remarkably corrupt statement. He is not saying Gonzales did nothing wrong. He is saying institutional survival of the majority overrides ethical accountability. The seat matters more than the man's fitness to hold it. The bar was already low and yet he just dug a basement.

The entire NHL is a nightmare tbh. In a normal world, Gary Bettman doesn’t survive this, is replaced with someone more progressive and the entire league gets a PR overhaul & media training.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

The New York Rangers expect me, a woman, to come back and watch the rest of the season after I watched the people who run the organization and two of its players laugh at female athletes. I think I’m good on hockey for the rest of the season. It’s been, like, really ruined.

Every single member of the U.S. Mens Hockey Team who laughed at/demeaned the women on the U.S. Hockey Team should be called out for being the misogynistic shits they are.

It’s insane how they vacillate between lies depending on what they want to do, and crazier that people just believe them.

Want to look strong? WE COMPLETELY OBLITERATED IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM! 💪💥

Want to bomb Iran? Iran is a week away from bomb-grade material!! 😱

The tariffs ruling is the right result from a terrible process The conservative justices — even the ones who ruled against Trump — are making it up as they go.

"Only the liberal justices understood how to carve a middle path that was faithful to Congress & the Constitution, bc they are the only ones left on this Court who understand why they're there. They’re not there to get more power for the Supreme Court. They’re not there to give more power to Trump."

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

I’ve written about this multiple times, but MOST countries aren’t prepared for this kind of war.

I don’t think folks understand how much combat has evolved during the Russo-Ukrainian war.

It’s unrecognizable from other modern conflicts.

Ladies if you're always walking around with earphones or headphones on whether jogging or at the mall don't be surprised if no one approaches you. Most guys won't ask you to take them off just to start a conversation.
Sometimes you might be blocking more than just the noise

While people struggle to afford housing and food, Trump is stealing $10 billion of our tax dollars for something we have not approved and do not want. Congress has not approved the use of these funds. If he wants to have this, he should pay for it himself.
