@barredindc.bsky.social Any word on when Dead Rabitt will open it's DC location? It was supposed to be this year, I believe.

Yes

Soto was player of the month in June, and is putting up great numbers in July.

So proud of ACP and the other leading physician groups for standing up for patients, #vaccines, science and evidence. Too many others have stood down when faced by this administration’s assault on public health. wapo.st/4nzohf9

Pride is not just a celebration—it’s a declaration. A declaration that queer and trans people exist, have always existed, and will not be erased. It is rooted in resistance: against the closet, against the shame, against the quiet compliance that systems of power demand.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Just listened to the Hur interview tape
and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

Snopes.com The definitive Internet reference source for urban legends, folklore, myths, rumors, and misinformation.

I say this even though I agree with the sentiments expressed in the quotes. The Pope’s credibility is undermined when people, presumably well meaning, attribute quotes to him that he never said.

It’s always a good idea to check Snopes.com before reposting quotes attributed to famous people.

No evidence Pope Leo XIV said, 'You cannot follow both Christ and the cruelty of kings' Social media users jumped to conclusions over a quote circulating online.

I admire Pope Leo and have faith that he will serve with compassion, especially for the most marginalized. But be careful reposting quotes being (falsely) attributed to him.

Let’s let Pope Leo speak for himself.

How about this for diversity and inclusion: we have our first #Creole Pope. 🙏🙏🙏

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech:

“How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

Pope Francis, who reached out to the margins of society, has died at 88 The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.

Column | Jackie Robinson’s Dodgers visiting Trump’s White House? For shame. The Dodgers’ visit to Trump’s White House, eight days before baseball will lionize Jackie Robinson, is nothing short of blasphemous.

The Dodgers are dishonoring Jackie Robinson today. Shameful. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/.... @mlb.com @baseballamerica.com @dodgersbot.bsky.social @dodgersdigest.bsky.social

“If the S&P 500 closes … where futures are right now, it will be the biggest three-day selloff in 38 years, a faster drop than any during either the global financial crisis in 2008 or the Covid-19 panic in March 2020…This one has been actively caused by the president.”

Elon Musk’s Epic Cybertruck Fail Elon Musk’s polygonal pickup is a polarizing sales flop that's missed the billionaire’s volume goal by a staggering 84%. And there’s no sign that things are improving.

Here's some good news to start your morning. #Musk #MuskFail #Tesla #TeslaTrucksSuck #CyberTruck

Yesterday was a good day for democracy. Wisconsin voters soundly repudiated Musk's (and Trump's) efforts to buy the state Supreme Court, instead re-electing Susan Crawford to maintain a progressive majority.

#CoryBooker #WisconsinSupremeCourt

Yesterday, was April Fool’s. But while the joke was on Trump and Musk, we know it’s no joking matter. Our country is at great risk. But they can be defeated

Yes, we are asking--no we are demanding--that all seeking our votes stand up for democracy, equity, fairness and justice, as Senator Booker did, as Wisconsin voters did.

A black man, a U.S Senator, breaking the modern record for the longest Senator speech, previously held by a white Senator’s filibuster of civil rights legislation.

“Our constituents are asking us to acknowledge this is a crisis.”

And Senator Cory Booker showed the leadership, sacrifice, determination, and passion that has been so lacking among his Democratic colleagues in showing the country what's at stake.

She did this despite Musk's $25 million PAC expenditure, his $1 million direct voter bribes, his visit to the state this weekend, his and Trump's social media rants, and their endorsement of her opponent. Or better yet, she won because of all of this.

“Trump’s new Executive Order underscores how far removed this President, Attorney General and Administration are from our nation’s Constitution and bedrock values. Our liberties depend on lawyers’ willingness to represent unpopular people and causes, including in matters adverse to the Federal Government. An attack on lawyers who perform this work is inexcusable and despicable. Our profession owes every client zealous legal representation without fear of retribution, regardless of their political affiliation or ability to pay. We encourage law firm leaders to sign on to an amicus effort in support of Perkins Coie’s challenge to the Administration’s executive order targeting the firm, and to resist the Administration’s erosion of the rule of law.” – John Keker, Robert Van Nest, Elliot Peters, Laurie Carr Mims, and the Keker, Van Nest & Peters Partnership
