Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

some of the stuff like greenland people can say they didn’t vote for. but they very much voted for tariffs and mass deportations. i have a bottomless well of contempt for people who chose this

LA Dodgers need a history lesson.

You are such a disappointment. Do your job. If the government needs to be shut down to stop the government from going full authoritarian, that is your job. I wish I lived in your district so I could vote against you after this. Assuming we ever have elections again.

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

The leader we need.

Musk and trump are gutting the government and YOUR services, national Parks and vital services like Weather and FAA safety to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Think about that. We get less so they can keep more. Then the tariffs and trade wars are and will hurt US even more.
